Mr. Glynn reported that he had received a telephone call from Neil McIntosh stating that he had no objection to the permit being granted.. Mr. John P. Gorman, 104 Glenhill Rd., Mattapan, stated that he owned some property on Cary Avenue approximately 4001 away from the barn, and when he purchased the land he thought that it was restricted to a residential district, and he felt that if the golf course permit were granted, it might develop into something more than just a golf course. He was under the impression that the Zoning Law was to be changed in order for such a petition to be granted. Mr. Lynn explained that the permit, if it were granted, would only be granted for a year at a time and that it did not change the zoning restrictions on that property. Mr. Howard W.

He stated that Mr. Hayden had the impression that it was a question of lifting the Zoning Law, and he objected to that. When Mr. Glynn explained'the situation, however, Mr. Robbins stated that he did not believe Mr. Hayden would have any serious objection to the granting of the permit and he was given,a copy of the Zoning Laws to take to Mr. Hayden.
