tional problems linked closely with these requests, and that there was
little legislation covering these. A petition signed by various residents
in the neighborhood indicating they favored the request was presented by
Mr. and Mrs. Swing. They also presented a sketch of the property as
pp~posed for kihdergarten Use. Discussion followed. A motion was made by
