The Planning Board finds that in as much as hardship of an individ- ual should not be considered as a valid reason for re-zoning, we have no alternative but to consider this petition solely on the merits of Zoning. Consistent with good planning practices and other previous recom- mendations of the Board in cases of non-conforming uses, we can not recommend this proposed change. As hardship exists in this particular case, relief might be sought via the Board of Appeals. On motion of C. Dewey Smith it was voted that report be accepted and placed on file.
