Another one was Orchard Supply that wanted to come in on Howard Street or one of those streets and i forgot which one. And in both cases, the way that the Planning Department came up with how many other formula stores were around it or how many other similar stores, there was not a set kie criteria in the Orchard Supply case, the City Builders was a block and a half or two blocks away and they were never counted as part of it, it didnt make sense, in the case of the sherm an Williams Store they left out a bunch of stores by jerry man did jerry man dering the area.
