"The question posed is, was appellant using her home

that question involves the individual professional

solicitation of pupils through the medium of advertising
did not, in our opinion, transform a permitted use into
a forbidden use nor did the resulting traffic problems
work such a trans forma tion. If

"In the opinion of this court, the conduct of the dancing
school as shown by this record was not a violation of the
Amended Building Zone Resolution and the school was
legally conducted without the necid of any variation from
the requirements of the Amended Building Zone Resolution.
Furthermore, the occupancy permit allows the use of the
basement rooms for recreation rooms. Children's dancing
lessons may be said to come within the scope of both recre-

THE FACTS
,.
"
Appellant is the prospective purchaser of a dwelling located at
I'
q
11 Wildwood Drive in the Town of Wappinger, New York. Those
.!
:!
premises are zoned "R-20" pursuant to the terms of the Zoning

;
Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger, New York.
Appellant is a duly licensed beautician by the State of New York.
She has heretofore conducted a modest beauty parlor business in the
Village of Wappingers Falls, New York.
In order to meet the prospective mortgage payments on the
p:;-emises which are the subject of this application, appellant will
have to earn approximately $15 to $20. per week. Appellant proposes
to do "occasional hairdressing" for a few of her former customers.
The maximum number of customers anticipated per week will not
exceed 10. Appellant will not advertise her services, nor will there
be a sign on the premises.
Appellant contends that''occasional Hairdressing" is different
from the operation of a "beauty parlor" within the meaning of the
Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger, New York.
Appellant hasreretofore applied to the Zoning Inspector for an
interpretation of that portion of the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of
Wappinger which deals with "custom home occupations". By decision
dated December 3, 1965, the Zoning Inspector informed the appellant
that her contemplated use of the subject premises would be inviolation i
of the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Wappinger.
Appellant appeals from that determination of the Zoning Inspector
of.
,
and seeks an interpretation by this Board that "occasional hairdressing"
