does not agree with it. Attorney Mark Johnson stated that the lot with the existing
complex was not going to be made more non-conforming because it is now non-

conforming because of the use not the dimensions of the lot. Mr. Simons felt that by
subdividing the lot it could create a problem later with the parking.

lot instead of size thereby the existing complex has more room for parking if it should be
necessary at a later date.
