Chairman f Longmoor brought out the point that regardless if they leave it R -3 or change it back to C-1 -H, we can't stop the operation of the boats- -they can't.expand, but the Com- mission cant stop them from using them. Mr. Wise said there were two possibilities (1) leave it R-3 and leave the man con- tinue operating his business as he's now operating it, or (2) putting it into C -1 or C -1 -H and he would still have to get permission from the Planning Commission to expand his operations and at that time you could impose certain conditions on his entire operations which might alleviate some of the conditions that are oecuring at the present time. Mr. Longmoor: If it was changed back to C -1 -H and they applied for Use Permit to inereasescope of operation of boat rental, the Planning Commission could impose restrictions: Wise: Yes, if he did not accept these conditions, he would have to operate as he is now. If he has plans to expand he has to accept those conditions on the entire op- eration. Longmoor: If it remains R -3, he can continue with no restrictions? Wise: That is right. You could impose certain conditions which you think beneficial to that neighborhood and protect the adjoining porperty. If the Council decided R -3 is the proper zone, he will be able to operate as he has in the past, unless he be- comes a nuisance. 150 - -W. W. Charles: Claimed he has developed a policing system.
