wigs from her home and she would be using one room 5f her home to display
the wigs. '.~.'he house -~as built on two lots.
~. ~caver: - received a message at my home 'that .~rs. i-~ckinlay didn't
really want to change the zoning, if she could get permission to use her
home for the above reason, if there is any other way she could do this,
she would be willing to do so.
~. ]~ertz: '~.~ou!d you have a parking problem?
ims. l~ckinlay: ~o~ I doubt if i would have more than one ear or maybe two,
at the same time.
i.]r. ,~eaver: '.fould you have a sign?
i.'~rs. Mackin!ay: I would like to, but I am not insisting on it, but if you
allow me to put up a sign, that would be fine with me.
i~. 01ds: R-1 doesn't allow any sign at all. R2, I have a petition stating
people have no objections whatsoever on this change at allo There are ten
signat%u~es on the petition. (~. 01ds read all the names and addresses on

this all the way down to the ospital area and possibly fu. rther than that.
~ihere. is a possibility ti:at the City might grant a temporary license of
non-conforming use. I don't think there is any hardship in this case.
iX. Wertz: l~ere should be a better way in handling this.
~r. ~eaver: There are probably quite a number of people that carry on
their business at their home in zones hi~her than this.
Discussion
Mr. Ueaver: Suppose ~s. P~.ckinlay came to City Hall and got a license to
sell wigs from door to door. There is no way in the world they can stop
her o -
~"~o Dutch: ~rs.M~_ackmnlay' would you be ~king wi s there?
~'~So Mackinlay: ~o, I would just be styling them and selling them.
~. ~eaver: I don't see where this would be harmful business in any way.
~'~'£rs. ~ackmnlay: ~ould you soot zone just those two lots?
~. ~eaver: We get lots of requests similar to this. ~ffe don't object to
it.- '~ ~
~-~s. Mackinlay: Could i get a temporary license until you act upon it?
Mr. 01ds: We can't pass on licenses. In fact, we can't do anything except
pass it on to Council° If we chan~e it to R-2~ that leaves the property
wide open for a multitude of thing~ and some neighbor n~ght come along and
ask for an R-2 zoning and put something there that would really cause a
problem.
Mr. ~aver: That is the reason we are not spot zoning. If we grant it to
one, we are obligated to grant it to someone else and on down the line
like that.
~[ro Dutch: I move that we deny the R-2 application ~ ~
oec~.use, it opens a
multitude of avenues to property m. mers in the area and we do not spot
zone. I do think that possibly there should be a recommendation from the
Board that they ask the City Attorney to review the legislation on this and
see if something can be done about it. Seconded by Ph~. ~eaver. .Unanimously
carried.
~. Olds: ihere are a good many people operating from their homes now, in
higher zoned areas than yours and there are many of them with all kinds of
things such as tools, etCo around their homes they are selling.
