At their meeting last week, council authorized the holding of a public meeting on the subject to be held later tis year. According to planning director Bob Short, the town is having difficulty interpreting the present definition of home oc- cupation and has received complaints from established residential areas. Since 1974, home oc- cupational use by professionals such as doctors and dentists has been prohibited by the town. Short said the propose of the bylaw is to provide "a clear under- standing by the homeowner of what is permitted in the residential zone rather than attempting to in- terpret a definition that appears to encourage uses that may not com- APPRECIATION NIGHT An Appreciation Night Dinner will be held for John Kunetsky, the retiring ad- ministrator of the Dr. J.O.

Coun. Joe Drumm wants to know where the complaints have been coming from. "I don't like the tenor of this whole report," he told council. "I want to know where the com- plaint is coming from and from whom. " The east ward representative also wants coundil to be careful that they don't put anyone out of business because of the move. "As long as I'm on coundil, I don't want anyone put out of business." Coun. Tom- Edwards also claimed that he had received several com- plaints about homes being' used as places of business. He added that council's primary responsibility is to protect the interests of homeowners. "If we leave the bylaw as it is, the people of our community will not be protected. " However, Coun. Joe Bugelli, chairman of the administrative commit- tee, said that the bylaw isn't addressing single individuals who work out of their homes. The measure will ad- dress those who use their homes as public of- fices and meet customers there on a regular basis. "We're not talking about paperboys and the like, " he said, "We're talking about home oc- cupations." The date of the public meeting, has yet to be announced. ½/2PRICE * DRESSES * WOOL BLAZERS * SKIRTS& PANTS BLOUSES & SWEATERS (higher price 2 for 1 prevails) Brooki vimlae Shoppie (Fine Ladies Wear) I7 57 Baldwin St., Brooklln 655-3474 A drive weII worth taking.
