Edward Glynn acted as Chairman, Protem, and called the hearing. Mr. Howard W. Robbins, Clerk, was called upon to read the notice of the hearing. Mr. J. F. Browne was present and stated that he was desirous of maintaining a riding stable at the Kelsey Ranch, so called, which is now used as a dairy farm and work horses are kept there. He stated that there would be no change in the property at all, and that it would attract a nice type of people, that there would be nothing that would detract ' from that section of the community and there will be nothing'* about the sign that would detract. It would probably be V— ' -small sign placed at the corner calling attention to the Kelsey Ranch riding School. In answer to Mr. Glynn's inquiry, Mr. Browne stated that he and his daughter were to operate the riding school and it was their intention only to use the property. They would manage to keep the horses off the road. His daughter goes to High School and when he was not there she would be. He stated that there was plenty of place for parking on the property so that there would not be any on the road. It would be a small business, with perhaps the exception of Sundpry. He would keep from six to ten horses, but just now he had only three. He would keep nothing else in conjunction with the stable horses. Mr. Browne stated that he was now living in Lexington but not on this property, but eventually he would live on this property. Georffrey L. Pippette of Shade Street stated that he lived right across, and they had no objection to a school, but they did want to ask if there would be any change in the Zoning Law that would allow any other business to be put in there, or whether it was just a modification of the law. Mr. Glynn explained that this was not granting any change in the Zoning Law that would allow any other person to carry on the permit that would be expressly granted to the applicant if granted, and that to change the zone would be beyond the powers of the Board of Appeals. Mr. Oscar A. Andresen of Shade Street stated that he 'felt that in a residential zone business was prohibited and he did not want to have something established that would continue. that will show an business existin there.
