March 19, 1979 Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kelly, 330 E1 Camino Real, asked Council to change two portions of an agreement between the City of Tustin and Thomas J. Kelly and Mary Kelly, that had been drawn up by the City Attorney, relative to mixed uses at their property at 325 South "C" Street. His disagreements were with the time element in Paragraph 1 and the posting of a cash bond in Paragraph 3. Joseph Wejemierski, 325 South "C" Street, #4, spoke in support of the Kellys. It was moved by Councilman Welsh that the matter be agendized for the next meeting. The Kellys asked that action be taken at this meeting because they were de- pleted financially, physically and mentally. If they can't open the business, they will not be able to meet the loan payments. Ail of the Council was sympathetic to their problem but Attorney Rourke gave the legal opinion that the mixed uses could not be permitted for any longer period of time than January 1, 1980 without a change in the Ordinance. It was moved by Welsh, seconded by Schuster, that staff prepare an Ordinance for repealing mixed uses for the Redevelopment area or study any other measures that would allow the Kellys to open their business. Carried 3-0, Saltarelli absent and Councilman Sharp abstained because of conflict of interest. Because of the lateness of the hour for people in the audience with children, it was the concensus of the Council that New Business No. 8 be heard at this time. 8.
