The Commission considered the application of Betsy Gray for a variance to operate a child nursery at 3125 West Charleston Boulevard, for nine child­ren under the age of two years. Planning Director Bills advised the Commission that the Board of Adjustment had denied the application. Mr. Bills explained that this denial was based solely on the location and the Board of Adjustment was fully aware of the capability of Mrs. Gray to operate this type of business and of her good character, but it was felt that this type of operation should not be permitted in a suburban estates neighborhood. Mr. Bills further reported that there were numerous protests from neighbors in this vicinity. Mrs. Gray appeared before the Commission and explained that the property was owned by Mrs. Copeland, who has recently become a widow and this is part of the estate. Mrs. Gray explained that she cares for Mrs. Copeland's child and the two of them have an agreement whereby Mrs. Gray is to move into this house and operate a nursery to support her own three children. Mrs. Gray is 95 feet in width by 295 feet in depth and the children are so small they will be in the house most of the time. Mr. Paul Tubiolo of 3215 West Charleston appeared in opposition to this variance. At the hour of 8:45 P.M. the meeting recessed and reconvened at the hour of 9:00 P.M. with all members present as of the opening session. Commissioner Bunker stated that relative to the matter that was being con­sidered at the time of recess, he is in sympathy with Mrs. Gray and her problem, but his better judgment tells him that the resolution the Board of Adjustment passed is sound and presents points well taken. Commissioner Bunker further stated that he has a strong feeling that this variance changes the character of the area and allows a "foot-in-the-door" for other changes the Board will have to face. Commissioner Bunker then moved the recommendation of the Board of Adjust­ment on the variance application of Betsy Gray be accepted and this var­iance denied, and the following resolution adopted: BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners at a regular meeting held October 2, 1957, having considered the application of Betsy Gray for Variance to operate a child nursery at 3125 West Charleston Boulevard, for nine children under the age of two years; and The Board having considered the recommendation of the Board of Adjust­ment denying this application, based solely on the location; DEED FOR RIGHT-OF- WAY To City of North Las Vegas HOUSE MOVING PERMIT Willie Franklin VARIANCE - V-ll-57 Betsy Gray Denied
