' Mr. C. H. Ferguson said the best thing to do would be <br />to make a study of the whole area and consider taking back <br />the whole business zone to 1501, rather than to grant this <br />petition. <br />Mr. Viano said that people were continually parking <br />in a residential zone, and as a matter of fact, there was <br />considerable doubt in his mind if the Town dould stop them <br />from parking in the residential zone. <br />No other persons appeared in favor of the granting of <br />the petition. <br />Mr. Kimball asked if there were any persons appearing <br />in opposition, and seventeen persons stood up. <br />Mr. Harold F.

In the last ten years it has been used for all sorts <br />of things, and the abutters believed that this was an enter- <br />ing wedge toward making this a business zone. <br />A Mr. Davis of 4 Sherburne Road said that if the <br />parking space was for the good of the community, then it was <br />up to the Town to provide it, and not the province of an <br />individual. <br />Mr. Viano asked if there was any objection to the type <br />of building, and there was none. <br />Mr. E. J. Connors of 4 Vine Brook Road said that if <br />I <br />parking was so important, it might be possible to provide a <br />
