The Commission considered the request of the Catholic Church for extension of time on Use Permit U-43-56 granted them on January 16, 1957, to allow the construction of a parochial school, auditorium and rectory on Alta Drive between Shetland Road and Camp­bell Drive. The Board was advised that the reason for the request for extension of time was the fact that there is pending in District Court an action brought by the property owners who protested this proposed construction, and the Church is reluctant to commence any improvement of this property until after preliminary motions have been heard in District Court. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved that the Catholic Church be granted a six (6) month's extension of time on Use Permit U-43-56, said extension to commence as of July 16, 1957. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commis­sioners Bunker, Fountain, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Com­missioner Sharp.
