HAROLD HENDERSON was present to present an appeal for the Red Kitten. He
stated that the main complaint at the Zoning Board of Appeals hearing, was to the noise,
dust and dirt of the parking lot and side streets that a club creates. Mr. Bonilla,
the operator if Special Class Zoning is approved, stated he had corrected the doors and
other exits to cut down on the noise. The parking lot would be oiled and rocked to cut
down on the dust. Approximately $3,000.00 has been spent on the interior and work on the
exterior will be done to make it more desirable. Mr. Frank Norton was present representing!
the objectors to the Special Class Zoning. These people are concerned about the noise,
because some have small children and some are elderly, and about the dust from Front & Woodliand
Streets, which are dirt streets. The Commissioners heard from 2 motel managers in the
area and 8 or 9 residents of the area. They all feel the Club would be a definite
detriment to the area because the club would be allowed to stay open until 3 A.M. A motion'
was made by Commissioner Yost, seconded by Commissioner Millikan to uphold the decision
of the Zoning Board of Appeals, which denied the Special Class Zoning. Ayes: (5).
Nays: (0). Motion carried.
