Mikell last week admitted all of the items sought by the group were public information, but said the requests were tying up his staff.

Restaurant Battle Heats Up CALL 471-8400 that their property Is surrounded primarily by commer cial and institutional uses and argued that the present residential designation is inappropriate. Pastors of the First United Methodist Church and the Albright United Methodist Church, located in the block as the two fast-food properties, both opposed Wendy's plan.

Attorney William H.

Schorling did it yesterday with a few jokes, lots of smiling and a four-page legal memo presented to the City Planning Commission. Schorling represents KFC Management parent firm for both Kentucky Fried Chicken and H. Salt Fish and Chips franchises and owner of a property at 5838 Baum Blvd. KFC was in the process of building an H.

Salt property is zoned for commercial use, the Wendy's lot zoned for high-density residential. So yesterday Wendy's representatives appeared before the planning board to request a zone change to permit construction. And KFC had a chance to get even by arguing that Wendy's would adversely alter the character of the neighborhood. "Clearly, the way to prevent the outflow of residents (from the city) is to provide more and better residential areas as well as preserving the character of existing residential areas," Schorling wrote in his memo. He also argued the Wendy's proposal "will Impair the attractive characteristics of the block" containing both properties.

Wendy's officials, on the other hand, pointed out is made permanent at a future hearing and the present incomplete structure must be demolished, an H. Salt restaurant still will go up on the site. "There will be a building there, whether we have to move it (back from the sidewalk) or not," he said.
