thP recent repair of potholes has made the surface e.ven worse, par-
ticularly after the weekend's heavy rains. He does not agree that
any improvement will make the alley a speedway and that he is concerned
with access to emergenc,y vehicles.
Earl Shaw, 2G49 Huntin�ton, said he opposes the improvement and that
r�ost of the other residents oppose it, too. Ne said that access was
not a problem to him ancl tl�at the present condition of the alley was
'certainly a deterrent to speeding.

The �irector of Planning responcie�i that only a zoning change could avail
this property for non-church uses.
In reply to a question from Councilnan '1artin, the Director of Planninq
state� the church was paying the taxes on this parcel.
Councilman Plartin aske�i if a variance or special perr�it could not be
adopted grantinc� the requested use.
Lennis Carpentier, 6225 ��J. 37th St., sai�i the neighborhood was concerned
about industrial encroachr�ent into a residential area. He said their
nain concerns were (1) possibility of future expansion and (2) the impact
of increased lightinq and possible attraction of undesirable elements
to the area.
Richar�! Coperine, 3700 Brunswicl:, said he was generally in favor of ti�e
parkinq lot if it is well desic�ned.
There being no one further wishing to.speak, the Playor declared the
hearing closed with th� right of Council to �hereafter reopen and continue
it at a later �1ate.
In res�onse to Councilr�an t�lartin's prior question, the City Attorney said
that because of the present R-3 zoning, it might be inappropriate to
consi�er a variance and that it appeared rezoninc� ►vas the correct Vray
