On Motion for Rehearing.
In his motion for a rehearing the defendant in error contends that the record does not sufficiently disclose facts which this court can consider in making the determination that it did. It is contended that it does not appear that the proceeding before the Clayton County Board of Zoning Appeals was an original application for a special use permit rather than an appeal to that board. In his appeal petition to the superior court, the appellant alleged that it was an application to the board of zoning appeals for a special use permit. Nowhere in the record does it appear that there was ever an application made to any administrative officer or agency seeking to function under authority of or enforce any ordinance pursuant to the act of 1949 for a special use permit and that the proceeding before the board of zoning appeals was an appeal from a decision of an administrative officer or agency. The only conclusion that can be drawn from the record is that the application for a special use permit in the instant case was made originally and directly to the board of zoning appeals which, as we have said, had no jurisdiction to entertain such an application. In their briefs, both parties admit that the proceeding before the board of zoning appeals was on an application for a special use permit and was not an appeal from a decision of an administrative officer or agency in the matter. Further, there has been no suggestion or application for a diminution of the record which might show that the proceeding before the board of zoning appeals was an appeal rather than an original application.

Motion for rehearing denied.
