Attorney-- T r eman
A i, it H J 1 _e 2:1ayor Bergholtz callev the Special
l ti. -,etit meetinv to order and explained that the purpose
of calling the Aldermen to -ether at this time
was to receive a report of the Planning Com-
mission and L_ecide ti-le request of : r. _: iles for
permission to change his property at Ol.
HiLhlan(� A-.-enue in an "A" residence district,
into an Apartment Hou:~e. The l.iayor added
that the Planning Co,n-_ii scion, turned the proposi-
tion down. He also explained_ that the matter
171as nor before the Co -.moil for final considera-
tion and Public Hearing, as advertised, and
su:Mgested that those in favor of the request
be �hea.rc. first.
Attorney Peer spoke for the petitionSr
confining, his remarks to refuting ar_-_�Lnients
acva.nced by the opponents at the Planning Com-
mission meeting. In conclusion he submitted a
petition or resolution signed by six property
ovners near the property in q-iestion, requestinF,
that the entire blocit bounden by Itei.ghts Court,
i yckoff anti. Hi`;hla.nld Avenues be chin-eu, from an
"A1l to a "B" residence district.
!Ir. Fred Rogalsky on behalf of the Housing
Coin -'Li of the Chaanber of Corr.^nerce reconn:^_fended
that the request be granted; and also reco:.i.iended
t zat the Council consider this problem as
'affecting the entire City pointing out that this
condition has arisen anal wouln. continue to arise
in various other Sections about the City.
Parson also spoke in favor of the
request an. reco-L-fended that not only this
property, but the entire Heights be, mace a "B"
residence district.
Ur .:err opned tho discussion o}�-;-)osing the
request ants_ entered forr al protest on behalf
of the Cornell Height; Acsocia.tion.
Profes:,.or 3retz also spoke: in opposition,
malting various objections and stating that his
:Hain point -;-:as that to rant this request Mould
result in a break-doim of p-ablic opinion and
confidence in the Zone Ordinance.
Profes.:or Switzer, representing the
Bryant Pcrk Association also op- osen the request,
pointing out that „ hil e this individual case did
not directly concern the people in Bryant Park,
neveyrthele ,; they felt grave concern over the
indirect result of approving the request because
such action, they felt woula; jeopardize the
whole Zone Orcdnance.
Alderman Roalsky stated that as one of
the representatives of tl:e people in the district
concernec;_, he felt duty bound to vote as a
majority of leis constituents felt. Iie saic_ he
v;as c::;nvinced from the action of the Cornell
Heights Association and othFar indications that
the majority of the people on the Heights ,,ere
oxn�osed to t-he request, and he, therefore moved,
that the sentiment expressed by -he Cornell
Heights Association be sii.stained and the
request denied. There was no second, to this
:not i on.
The Clerk asked if he might be permitted
to read t le .ai.nutes of tie l .r.~ ink; Co:A �.ission
