There/are many shops leaving the Villages whereby a great many people are unemployed or employed in other fields, He stated that favorable consideration of the application.-would not only, do no harm to the community, but would be beneficial in providing Additional jobs. Mr. Foley stated that Mr. Cavalieri can accomodate 12-14 cars on his lot across the street for employee parking. He.stated that most people would be walking to work. He also stated that a dress manufacturer would be less noxious than an auto body shop. Mr, Morris Kavey, owner of the Development Project, stated that he is going to build a 162 familty apartment building and would be objectionable to a dress factory opposite this building. If the" applicant had a hardship, he would go along with the request, said Mr. Kavey, however, there is no hardship involved. Mr. Foley stated that the building would be made to conform to the proper requirements and all safeguards would have to be met before a certificate of occupancy is given for its intended use. He also stated that the apartment dwellers would have a factory nearby in which to work. Mr. Jacob Ward, representative of the Blitman S Kavitt Co,, voiced his opposition to the application. He stated that the apartment house being erected will provide housing for people in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance. This .will improve an area, making it a much better place to live, saidJMr. Ward. We are trying to upgrade an area, said Mr. Ward, and a manufacturing shop would downgrade it. Although they would like to see employment, this area is not the proper place for this facility, said Mr. Ward. On an inquiry by Mr. Lupi as to what type of machinery wou}.d be in the building, he was answered dress making. Mr. Ward stated that with this kind of operation,.it brings ^ trucking and everything else that goes with a manufacturing operation. Mr. Foley stated that there will"'be no trucking to endanger children or which will create"ahtiazard to the health and;safety of any children or citizen in the Village. He stated that he did not believe that the location of the manufacturing business^would detract from a decent and good place to live.\;:There are many;people who are employed in this type of business and who will continue to be employed locally,,, said Mr. t Foley. This is a responsibility to some of our local residents^and would; not be detrimental. Mr. Kavitt stated that anyone who "lives above will hear noise which will ,be objectionable to tenants. : Mr. Friere stated that the Board will take these views and comments into cosnideration and a decision will be made. �-3After the applicants left, the members of.'the Board met to discuss the requests for variances.
