He said the commission wants to keep the black residential. A question arose from the audience on the legality of a building permit issued a few weeks ago. William J. Watkinsof415Park former councilman, said he believed the permit was "improperly granted' because there is insufficient parking. Solicitor Maurice Levinson said the building plans are in conformity with the building code.

A woman also asked why the entire building is not being demolished. Randy currently is remodebng the present struct ure. Audino answered that his client was not able to get a loan from People's Bank of Western Pennsylvania to put up a new building. The bank said that the plans would have to be changed. Audino added.

property owners in 1965, when a hearing was held for the last zone change, questioned how they could get their land zoned commercial. He said nobody complained of the commercial zone in 1965. "How is it four years later the zoning classificabon is wrong?" He said that the protest by the residents now "points to the inescapable fact" that they are opposed to the proposed use of the land. The residents have a right to complain but they do not have a right to dictate the zoning after it is settled by council, he commented. Audino explained that his clients have spent $13,000 thus far in carrying out a "lawful purpose" and then they are told that they are wong.

"They had the right to do this. That was the law and it is the law to this day," Audino said. He also called it speculating that a bar will have an abnormal effect on the neighborhood and said there is no proof that property will be devalued. On the parking situation, he said a beauty parlor would congest the streets just as much. He received several arguments from residents on this point.

Council warned He warned council that if the zone is changed the matter will be brought to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary to keep the land commercial. Audino added that council should leave the matter of using the property as a bar up to the Liquor Control Board. "Her use of it is hone of your business," he concluded. George Stahlman.

executive director of the citv Planning Commission, which recommended the zone change, said the body did not take a Sainato, Laurel school nurse; Gary Leech, a special education teacher for Union Area Schools; and Ralph Linarelli. a teacher at the Youth Development Center.

The property became an eyesore with the residents complaining to have it demolished, he said. "The bank wouldn't and the city he said. The bank would demolish the house if it was zoned commercial. Zone changed Council changed the land to commercial in 1965 with the understanding the building would be torn down and an insurance office would be erected. However, there was never any demolition and the bank received several offers.

The property was purchased by Ann F. Reinhart earlier this year. According to attorney Richard J. Audino, counsel for Mrs. Reinhart and Frank Randy, who is building the bar, the hank placed no restrictions when it sold the land.

Stevenson called the present character of the land in question as spot zoning because the entire block is residential with exception of the one property. He also said that keeping the property commercial would have an abnormal effect on five adjacent lots. He said an insurance office would be more compatible with the neighbor hood. Stevenson added that the other pioperbes would also have a decrease in value and parking would congest traffic on the streets. He said right now it is difficult for two cars to pass on Boyles Ave.

when some cars are parked on both sides of the street. He told council that it had the opportunity to correct a situation with which others have been unsuccessful. He said if council votes against the rezoning or defers action for any long period of tune, the resident will assume that it is opposed to the zone change. He said council could hear about it in the fall I election limei. Shumaker answers Council President Thomas A Shumaker immediately answered.

"You da not do your cause justice when you say the matter will be decided on that basis. "Some members of council lake this as a threat." Councilman Richard 11.
