Freeman, to construct a building to be used for a wheel alignment, tire balancing, and brake service shop, on property on the east side of Bristol Street, between 17th and 18th Streets, in the R-1 DJstrlct. Mr. Robert Betts, 12SS-hO W. 18th Street, representing ten property owners, who stood in protest, stated that when business was established on 17th Street, a 78- foot buffer strip was provided to serve as off-street parking on 17th Street and parking is not allowed on Bristol Street. We feel there has been no change in the conditions to warrant this Variance Application, and conditions relative to parking are more acute now than in the past. Earl Jabs, owner of property at 123~ W. 18th Street, advised the proposed building would create a traffic hazard, as it is so close to the intersection of Bristol and 17th Streets. Mr. David Gross, 1725 No. Bristol Street, representing the applicant, protested that there was nothing in writing that a buffer strip would be provided for off-street parking at 17th Street. and advised that this property is separate, with separate taxes, is a business property, and is zoned R-2. The proposed business operation would not be noisy an~ the building would be attractive. On motion of Councilman Brewer, seconded by Gould and carried, the recon~endation of the Planning Co~mnis~ion was approved, smd Variance Application No. 127B denied.
