sisting of 2.10 acres zoned "Industrial". I\1rs. Thomas
stated that she was 71 years old and lived alone. She
requested a variance to allow her to place a mobile home
on this property. She would live in the mobile home and
rent her house, or live in her house and have a mobile
home with othereliving in it, the purpose being to have
someone near. She further stated that she had had prow-
lers and her home had been broken into and she was
further afraid to continue living there alone. She point-
ed out that she was surrounded by an airport and metal
buildings used for aircraft maintenance and there was
much traffic, both foot and automobiles, in the area. Mrs.
Thomas told the Board that she had her property listed
for sale, but had been unsuccessful in selling this
property to date. The length of time requested for the
trailer to remain on the premises would be until her
property was sold. Dr. Hahn asked Mrs. Thomas if she
had already purchased the mobile home. She advised the

owned property adjoining Mrs. Thomas, were in attend-
ance and stated they had no objections to Mrs. Thomas'
request. At this point Chairman Helton called a recess
and advised Mrs. Thomas that she would be notified by
mail the Board's decision no later than Friday Sept.
18, 1970. After due deliberation and the weighing of
all pertinent information available, Chairman Helton
called the meeting back to order and on a motion by
Jay Jones, seconded by Dr. Hahn the Board voted unani-
mously to deny the application of Mrs. Thomas.
At this point Mr. Ballenger asked for a zoning use
ruling on the property owned by IvIr. Don Reams on High-
way 121 near Harwood Road, this property is zoned Local
Retail. The requested use was for the storage of insur-
ance company wrecked and repossessed automobiles. Mr.
Ballenger stated that under Article VI, Item I, page 15,
a commercial automobile parking lot in a ftLocal Retail"
District was provided for. He further stated that his
interpetation of commercial automobile parking lot would
not encompass the use Mr. Reams proposed for this location.
He stated however that in fairness to Mr. Reams, he was
asking for a Board ruling and would be happy to abide by
the Board's decision in allowing or disallowing this
operation. After due deliberation, motion to deny this
operation at this location was made by Dr. Hahn seconded
by Mr. Jones. Motion carried unanimously, the Board
giving as its reason~ as had been pointed out by Mr.
Ballenger, that they too felt that a commercial zoning
would be required for this type operation.
Motion to adjourn by Dr. Hahn, seconded by Jay Jones.
Meeting adjourned 9:50 P.M. September 15, 1970.
