Approval of this application was recommended by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, subject to certain conditions. Planning Director Bills advised the Board of Zoning Adjustment was guided in their recommendation by the location of this property, which was the last parcel zoned R-4 and was adjacent to industrial zoning. He added there were two present at the hearing in protest and three letters of protest. Mr. William D. Cooper, 236 W. Boston, addressed the Commission and presented a petition of 20 people who were opposed to this school at this location. He further advised the Commissi on that he had just been informed that Mrs. Howard's property had been sold to a Mr. Carliss about 2½ weeks ago -- having received this information from Mr. Carliss himself. He also stated this new owner was unable to be at this meeting tonight, but he had told him he would like to see this application denied. Frederika Singer stated that of her present five students, three of them took their lessons in their homes; furthermore, the lessons would be given later in the day, due to the fact the children were in school. Commissioner Whipple said if this application was approved as submitted, she would be able to have more students, and Miss Singer agreed with this; however, she advised many would be taught in their own homes. Planning Director Bills stated that when this application was approved by the Board of Zoning Adjustment, he was sure they did not realize the number of protestants, and, certainly, the question of ownership of this property was not given to this Board in any form; therefore, he requested this matter be referred back to the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Commissioner Whipple moved the application of Mrs. Vern Howard for a use permit to allow Frederika M. Singer to conduct a private music school at 242 Boston Avenue be referred back to the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
