9 Lehigh: He say's he's not 'going to have any employees
Mr. Hi rk,al a: As the day of this letter, no person other than myself
are employed by the formation on the premises.
MK Lehigh: That's all we want
Mr. Hirk,ala: The basis for my recommendation is that the Special
Use Permit be deni ed, i n which it was two principle uses on a piece of
property, ,and there were no bases being a home occupation. That busi-
ness is not ,a professional business. It was moved to a commercial area
to a residential area that was the bases of my recommendation for the
tilenia1
Mr. Levenson: I think Mr. Chairman you received the photostatic copies
of photostatic copies of the Anderson Studies. I think its a explana-
tion
xplanation of the home occupation. The bottom of every page is a litigation,
I read it twice,and I don't see a Training School as a home occupation.
The criteria of a home occupation basically the way Professor Anderson
claims you should have a register Certificate from the N.Y.S. Educa-
tion.
Mr. Hi rkal a : We recognize ,a home occupation with purpose's of operating
a business out of a home in M . Y . S . , under the law it has been a Doctor,
vjr, and Dentist. if you read the photostatic copy, it is question-�
a that a realtor can be a professional under the law.

Mrs. Roe: Denied .second motion
