Ms. Haywood said - any part - what ever they want - legs, etc. all over. At 9:00 p.m. Miss Lisa Martins, owner of Lisa's Finishing Touches of Bedford Street came in to join in the conversation.

Ms. Martins told the Board she had been in that location for 1-1/2 years and wants to add massaging. The Board discussed the arrangements to get into the salon, etc. Ms. Martin said at this time people have to go through Philip's but the building is going to be expanded on the second floor. Mr. Smith did say that he asked the building department and the fire depart- ment for memo's about this establishment. The Fire Department has responded that they have questions about a second exit. The Building Department has not responded. The Board brought up the question to Ms. Martins if she was having a physical therapist on the premises. Ms. Martins wante to know if that was just the regulations for Lexington. She said she is a licensed hairdresser and that allows the whole body to be touched.
