238 Mr. Sidney A. Maxwsll, 341 Wood Street= I feel , as Mr. Smith does, that we have a building.up there that I think something should be done with. I don't think it would be wasted and I feel that this type of work would without a question of doubt fit into the general layout better than anything else that possibly could go out there. There is one thing I would like to bring out and that is that you can't even see any part of the plant even at this time of the year with the leaves all off. Unless they put up a sign no one will even know that there are up there. As a taxpayer in the town, I think here is a chance of the town to bring in additional revenue. I feel in this way we would be getting a lot more out of it than if it were converted into a poultry business or some other farm producing program which, of course, he can do without any permit. Our own company does a tremendous amount of research work in our plant which is in the heart of the residential area in St. Louis. We live in peace with the residents nearby our laboratory and research plants. I. as one of the closest neighbors, have absolutely no objection and am very much in favor. Mrs. Jessie Barker, 201 Wood Street; We own the property directly across from the hill. I see no reason why that it would make any difference. I think the class Of people that it would bring would be very desirable. Mrs. Daudelin, 275 Wood Street; Mr. Daudelin and I would be very happy to have such a use made of that building and pleased to have that type of work done there. Mr. Locke; Usually in granting a variation of the Zoning the town's interests naturally should, be pro- tected.` Often times limitations as to length of use, type of use, are made a part of the granting of the petition. The town's interests must be protected so that no different use should at some future date be made of a building of this sort. I assume that Dewey & Almy wi11 be in business for a great many .years and, if granted, not object to a limitation to the use of this building along the lines you outline. Mr. Lunn; I assume that would be agreeable to us. Mr. Locke; The type of work you do would, of course, be leading to commerical application, but there would be no goods produced on the premises for sale. Mr. Lunn; We vio uld be willing to agree that no substantial amount of goods, other than a sample, would be sold. ' Mr. Redman; Anything brought up there would be stored inside the building, wouldn't it.
