Variances Requests a Variance from the Use Provisions of
Section 43d3 to permit an addition to an existing

Mrs. Roper was present representing this application who stated that the addition is
necessary because of a change in regulations of the Health Department regarding a
kindergarten -day-care nursery which requires that the kindergarten be separated from
the day nursery and a sickroom and food service be made available.
Mrs. Harold Williams, 8712 Oman Road, adjacent on the south, was present who stated
that at the September lyth meeting (which was postponed) there were three neighbors
present who stated their objections and that a petition was filed voicing the objections
of property owners in the area. She stated that the Board deferred action on the

resolved to some extent. Mrs. Williams also stated that if this application for an

addition to the kindergarten is granted, legal action will be instituted by them. The
proposed addition, she said, would be as large as the present structure, and that at
the present time the kindergarten violates the City regulation having to do with kinder-
garten operation as it does not have adequate bathroom facilities and has a larger
enrollment than is permitted. Mrs. Williams expressed the belief that this addition would
lead to commercial development in this area, and that a Presbyterian Church is to be
built across the street in front of her propertyo
Upon questioning by Mr. Farrell, Mrs. Roper stated that the addition would not constitute
an efilargement of the enrollment, and was necessary only because of the rules of the State
County, and City Health Departments. Space in the front yard will be used by 3, 4, and 5
year old children, and space in the back yard will be used by 7, 8, 9, and 10 year old
children for playgrounds.
