what’s shakin’
continued from page 10 Markarian laughed at suggestions that
those opposed to the variance are opposed to commercial development in the city. “We are not opposed to the commercial site,” she said. “We live three blocks from a commercial dis- trict: Westcott Street.” She added that mem- bers of the Syracuse Common Council have offered to help the co-op board find a suitable property in a commercial zone, particularly in the Westcott commercial district. “The bottom line is, I would love to see
them expand, just not in a residential neigh- borhood zone,” McTyre said. If Hance is concerned about the vote on
Thursday, he’s certainly not letting it dampen his enthusiasm. “I’ve been here 11 years and I’ve never been more excited about my work than I am now,” he said. “It’s a fun time. Gen- erally speaking, we just want to have a fun place for people to shop. I’m really confident that the {variance request} will go the way we seek.” McTyre, and about 39 of his neighbors,
see things a bit differently. “I don’t think {the vote} will be the end of it,” he said. “Those of us committed to the city, and to maintain- ing these neighborhoods, will keep plugging along.” Added Lyons: “We’re going to follow the
process through. There is no animosity with the co-op at all, but legally, we will take this as far as we have to.” BZA meetings are held at 1 p.m. in Com-
mon Council Chambers, located on the third floor of City Hall, 233 E. Washington St. — TAMMY DIDOMENICO
