The minority member stated he did not feel qualified to prejudge a professional who will invest over $200,000 as to whether a proposed restaurant will or will not be successful . He also stated that a restaurant in this location could relieve the present crowding of others in the area during breakfast and luncheon periods in serving employees of Elk Grove and the surrounding industrial parks and office areas. 2.
