The opinion
ORDER ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
The appellants have filed a Tenn. R.App.P. 39 petition for rehearing pointing out that additional information exists concerning the legislative history and prior administrative construction of Brentwood Ordinance No. 11-805. While this information may exist, it is not in the appellate record and, therefore, does not provide a basis for our reconsideration of the opinion heretofore issued on February 12, 1992.
The petition for rehearing is respectfully denied.
