Public Hearing - Variance Application - Willie Harris..
.
willie Harris, owner of the north one half (~) of Lots 4 & 5 and the
north one half (~) of the west one half (~) of Lot 3 - Block 38, was
present and made a variance request to be allowed to do limited
radio/T.V. repair in his home on that property, which is zoned R-2.
At present, Mr. Harris proposes only to do this repair work on a
part time basis with emphasis being on him to work himself into a
retirement occupation, since he is an electronic's hobbyist who
enjoys doing this type of work part time and would like to have it
to do as a full time retirement project. Mr. Harris would also
like to do tutoring to electronic studen~at that location in his
home.
There was no public comment either pro or con regarding this matter
at the Planning Commission meeting.
Mr. Harris stated that he is presently doing a limited amount of
this radio/T.V. repair work in his home and that he does not have
the customers bring the work to his home rather, he goes to their
homes to do the work and if necessary will bring a T.V., etc. back
to his home and do the work there, thereby, not creating any traffic
problem or parking problems.
Since the Planning Commission felt that there is already one var1ance
granted for that property for a beauty shop which is operated by
Mr. Harris's wife, and that in order for Mr. Harris to do this type
of business he should be located within a commercial district rather
than in a residential area, a motion was made by Burke, seconded
by Dowling to deny this variance request. All voted in favor of
denying the request. Mr. Harris was informed that he or any other
member of the community would have the right to appeal this decision
to the City Council and that any appeal must be filed by 5:00 P.M.
on March 15th, 1982 in order to be considered a valid appeal.

Meeting Adjourned.
