Secretary Harris explained the staff report. He was recommending denial of the application, but because of the vital nature of the service being offered, he recommended a grace period in which the company could relocate to a more appropriate area. He then described the nature of the numerous complaints received from the neighbors, which ranged from possible excessive speed in the court, to depreciation of property values. In conclusion, Secretary Harris advised the Commissioners that this operation did not receive sanction from the City prior to starting up the business at 6264 Guyson Court. Commissioner Wood congratulated the staff of the ambulance company for the quality of service they perform, but he felt that a residential area is inappropriate for this business. He suggested keeping the vehicle(s) at the fire house. Commissioner Doherty offered a similar recommendation.
