lUIlCTIOll 1. That subject property abnts property of an exceptional4'
high type of development present4' being resonsd from Zone .&.1 to Zone :s.0.
That there were numerous protests to the granting of the requested variance
by the owners of property in the immediate vicinity. That a s1m1lar petition
was filed before this Commission approximately four years ago and was denied
by th1B Commission in January, 1950. !hat no cirCWllstances were found at that
t1me to exist which w:>uld warrant or justify the granting of the requested
variance. That since that time the circumstances have not changed so as to
.
warrant or justify the granting of the variance herein requested but rather
such changes as have occurred mili.tate only further against the granting of
the requested. variance, one of such changes being the upgrading from Zone .&.1
to Zone .&.0 of the adjacent properties.
SECTION 2. That the granting of the variance requested is not
necessary for the preservation of substantial property rights of the applicant

for the reason that the eub~ect property is still as desirable and usable for
.
the po.rposes for wnich. it is and for ;rears has been zoned as it was at the
time and prior to ths purchase thereof by appliCflJlt. That the granting of
the requested variance would injuriously affect adjacent properties in the
same vicini t;r and up to now in the same zone, particu.larly by reason of their
exceptionally high type of development and maintenance. That there are no
exceptional circumstances applicable to the intended use of subject propert;r,
end no such exceptional circumstancee applicable to the propert;r i tsel!, as
would compel the granting of the requested variance.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons, this Commission recom-
mends to the Cit;r Council that the request of Frances E. and Martin J. Stately
for a variance be denied.
SECTION 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution and shall cause a co~ to be forwarded to the Oity Oouncil of the
