The Commission noted that because the Inn is actually decreasing
the number of spaces required and that the owners and operators
of the Inn are still seeking additional land, the exception could
be granted. It was further stated that should the Attorney upon
review of the Commission action determine that a public hearing
is necessary such a hearing will be set. Mr. Benton was requested
to keep the Borough advised of the status of this matter.

read in fall. The question was raised as to whether onr not
Mr. Zimmer owned the property on which the two house were
s:�_tuated. The Commission felt that a letter should come from
the owner of the land rather than one that was in the process
of buying the land. Mrs. Gellis moved to table this item until
�*+ more information was received, seconded by Mr. Terry. Motion
Ipassed by unanimous roll call vote.
C. Meroo fi,om Roy Madsen concerning A Warehouse in Aleutian Homes
Subdivision, read in full by the Borough Clerk. Mr. Madsen
cited Chapter 5, Subeb.pter 2, Section 14 as setting forth the
requirements for nonconforming uses and stated that no specific
e::ception is necessary in this case. The portion of the Borough
Code as cited was reviewed; however it was the feeling of the
members of the Commission that the Code does not allow for
nonconforming uses to be perpetuated beyond the normal or
reasonable period of time that the same would exist under the
conditions prevailing at the effective date of the sub -chapter.
Mr. Redick was in the audience and stated that his intention is
to remodel the warehouse after a period of three years and at
that time it will convert to a dwelling. The Building Inspector
was also in the audience and informed the Commission of KIF's
contract which read that the warehouses would be converted to
dwellings at the completion of the project, that of selling all
the houses. It was the opinion that this use by a new owner
would not be for any longer than the original period. The
Commission expressed the desire to have a public hearing on this
matter and Mr. Holt so moved seconded by Mrs Gellis. The
question was called and the lion passed by unanimous roll call
r vote.
