zoning Board
Rejects D3A
Liquor Appeal

I
located at 1529-3I Hayden ave, to
extend it's D3 liquor permit (1:00
a. m. closing hour TO a D3A permit
(2:30 a. m. closing hour was re-
jected by the Zoning Board of
Appeals Tuesday. December 18th.
David Lefkowitz, attorney for
Fred and Florence Andreano and
Patsy Palazzo, Hut operators,
questioned the necessity Of bring
ing the appeal before the Zoning
Board. He stated that all that was
necessary, under the Ohio law, to
transfer D3 to D3A is to pay an
added S400 year fee.
Law Director Stanley Webster
then read from the City's zoning
ordinance the section covering local
liquor permits, which section speci-
fies all such permits as "condi-
tional." All conditional" zoning
comes under the Zoning Board of
Appeals.
Finance Director 6. T. Apthorp,
presiding, stated quietly, but firmly
'we have an ordinance and we are
going to operate under our or
dinance."
Strenuously opposing The request
was the Rev. William Wilhoyte,
pastor OF the First Nazarene
Church, 1850 Hayden ave. He
stated their opposition was based
on the general principal of the
effect Of such a business on the
moral and spiritual tone Of the
community" The pastor also
stated he had hoped the issue
would have stopped at the hearing
on the question. Reference was be-
ing made TO the hearing held in
Cleveland recently before a Hear
ing Examiner of the State Liquor
Board. Up to Tuesday, no report
mad been received by the city from
the State Liquor Board as 10 its
decision in that hearing.
During the discussion it was
stated that the city's quota of D3
licenses is filled, and that only
two D3A licenses are operative
here. Mr.. Apthorp expressed the
opinion that he would not like 10
see the number of liquor permits
extended here.

Holding that there is now suf-
ficient number of U-3 use districts
in the city, the zoning Board of
Appeals Tuesday morning rejected
the appeal of Peter J. Lenahan and
Dominic Formick, owners Of prop
erty at 1928 and 1884 Noble rd.,
respectively, to rezone their prop
critics and properties at 1916 and
1920 Noble rd. from q U-2 tresi-
dentiaD TO U-3 use (retail
| busineSs).
The board confirmed It's previous
action requiring temporary
rooming house license TO permit a
family TO occupy the second floor
of the dwelling at 1866 East 133rd
ST, rather than term it a two
family dwelling. The board in
| formed Roy Carlson, owner, that
under its zoning requirements,
house must provide a rear and q
front stairway to classify it as a
two-family dwelling. The property
in question has only a rear stair
way for use OF the family on the
second floor
The dwelling has been occupied
by two related families over n
/ period of 40 years, stated Mr..
Carlson, who is planning to move
from it 10 new home. The board
informed the appellant that IL would
grant two-family status when a
separate front stairway is provided.
until then, the temporary rooming
house license will be in effect.
Upon the recommendation of
Building Inspector, Sgt. McGill, the
board approved, some instances
with certain limitations, the re-
inewsl Of temporary rooming house
licenses to 21 operators. The
number of occupants permitted
was reduced in four instances.
In order TO retain close inspeH
tion, all rooming house licenses is
sued in East Cleveland are tenn
porsry licenses, renewable snnu-
ally. An inspection proceeds each
renewal grant.
