M. , November 12, 1959, at the Village Hall, with the following members present: Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman Mr. Elwood Jones Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Tr. Mr. Emrys C. Harris Absent: Col. Thomas F. Burke Mr. Moyer moved that the minutes be dispensed with and approved as written. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously. (1) The first business was a public hearing to consider a petition for change in zoning on Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 3, El Portal Subdivision by the owner, Dr. Paul Stratos, from Residential to Professional Office use. Dr. Stratos explained that he felt his property was not suitable for a home because of the traffic on 2nd Ave., that it is adjacent to professional office type zoning in El Portal, that the building he proposed would not detract from the, residential neighborhood and that all parking would be in the rear. Mr. Jacob Croft, 250 N. E. 91st St., stated he bought his home at that address feeling the neighborhood would always remain residential and suggested that this zoning change be denied. Mr. J. B. Evans, 235 N. E. 91st St., bought his home because it was quiet in the Shores and thought it would be an injustice to change the zoning. Mr. Lee Wilson, 236 N. E. 91st. St., also thought it would be an injustice to change this zoning. The following people objected to any change because it would change the residential character of the neighborhood and/or increase traffic: Mrs. Beatrice Becker, 200 Grand Concourse Mrs. John B. Norton, 220 Grand Concourse Mrs. Good fellow, 190 N. E. 91st St. Mr. Albert Warner, 168 N. E. 91st St. Mr. H. Sizer, 156 N. E. 91st St. Mr. H. Copeland, 161 N. E. 91st St. Mr. Raymond Metzen, 145 N.

Meyer, 9101 N. E. 2nd Av. Mr. George B. Miller, 152 N. E. 92nd St. After everyone had had an opportunity to be heard, Mr. Arnold stated the Planning Board would take this under consideration and make a recommendation at a subsequent meeting. (2) Next was a sign for the Columbia Federal Savings and Loan Assoc. building as well as one for their parking lot. Mr. Markel reported that these signs were in excess of the area allowed by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Jones moved that we deny this request and suggest that they hold to the ordi+arce as to size. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
