IMPORTANT SOURCE OF" INCOME TO US. OCCUPYING THE SOUTHEAST BEEN IN CONTINUOUS OWNERSHIP IT HAS BEEN AND STILL IS AN I FROM THE BEGINNING OF" "ZONING" IT HAS BEEN AT "VARIANCE" OR "NON-CONFORMING" WITH EXISTING REGULATIONS. UNTIL 1951 IT WAS USED FOR WAREHOUSING OF SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS, MANUFACTURING, MAINTAINING A FLEET OF 15 TRUCKS, ALL INCIDENTAL TO THE BUSINESS AS A BAKERY. PERMIT WAS GRANTED IN 1951 BY YOUR BODY TO CHANGE THE USE TO THE WAREHOUSING AND STORAGE OF AUTOMOBILES AND HAS BEEN SO USED BY LOMBARD MOTOR COMPANY LESSEES. WITH CHANGING TIMES AND CONDITIONS WE FIND IT NECESSARY AND DESIRABLE TO AGAIN REQUEST A CHANGE IN THE USE OF" THIS PROPERTY TO A STILL DlfF"ERENT PURPOSE "TO PRESERVE THE ENJOYMENT OF A PROPERTY RIGHT, PREVENT UNREASONABLE PROPERTY LOSS AND UNNECESSARY HARDSHIP" AND ALLOW THE PROPERTY TO CONTINUE TO fUNCTION AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED AS A. SOURCE. OF INCOME. WE BELIEVE THE INTENDED USE WILL ~OT BE DETRIMENTAL OR INJURIOUS TO THE PROPERTY OR IMPROVEMENTS Of OTHER OWNERS OF PROPERTY. . WE WISH TO ALTER AND REMODEL AND CHANGE THE EXISTING STRUCTURES FOR THE USE OF ,A PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS GROUP. WE BELIEVE. IT A MORE DESIRABLE CLASSIFICATION THAN. EITHER PAS~ OR, PRESENT CLASSIFICATIONS AND CLOSER THAN EVER TO INTENDED ZONING AIMS AND OBJECTS. THE CHANGE WOULD NOT BE "DETRIMENTAL TO PUBLIC WELfARE OR CONVEN- IENCE" BUT WILL INDEED BE OF GREATER CONVENIENCE.
