Zone Board
Continued from Page u

on the already retailed zonine
area of the site, altho the space
would require a much smaller
operation than planned for the
entire site which extends north
to the Nickel Plate Road right
of-way.
During the discussion dealing
with the traffic situation, the
matter Of left turns came up,
and what might result if the
city at some future date would
be forced to bar left turns along
Euclid ave., especially during
peak hours.
When President Norman
Townsend declared the hearings
closed, Member Frank Fellows
moved to approve the zone
board recommendation, at the
same time setting forth the
Commissions position on the
issue in the following prepared
statement:
"In matters pertaining to
zoning, the general welfare of
the entire community must be
taen into consideration. This
Commission representing the
people of East Cleveland can
not take action for the benefit
Of individuals or particular
areas to the detriment of the
general public. The Charter of
the City Of East Cleveland
states that the purpose of zon-
ing provisions shall be to pro-
mote, among other things,
public convenience, health,
prosperity, and general well
fare; to protect residence sec
tions, to prevent congestion, to
increase trade and industrial
efficiency, and etc.
ain this case a serious traf-
fic problem on Euclid ave-,
would be created with the es-
tabliehment Of the proposed
use. Furthermore, the City of
East Cleveland is now overly
provided with retail business
areas and to increase the areas
zoned for such purposes would
not promote the general well
fare Of the community. In
addition, various adjoining
residents voiced opposition to
the change Of zoning for rea-
sons affecting their convent
ence. safety. and general well
fare. For these reasons and
others, | move that the recon-
mendation Of the Board of
Zoning Appeals be approved"
