would be detrimental to anyone in the neighborhood.
Mr. Vincent Navaro, Chaplin of Post #1930, spoke about
the good that the V.F.W. does for the community and felt it
should be considered.when deciding on the permit that has
been granted.
Mr. Paul Robert, 7826 E. Graves, South San Gabriel, owner
of the building in question, and stated that he hoped that this
property would be sold to the V.F.W. and that would be dependent
upon the Conditional Use Permit that had been granted.and by
the outcome of this appeal. He felt that there is no reason
why this building shouldn't be used for the V.F.W. as a meeting
place.

with this property when there was a bar at the property.

Mayor Cichy requested those opposed to the,Conditional Use
Permit to come forward.
Mr. Michael R. Coglan, Attorney representing owners and
tenants of the building next door to the proposed V.F.W. Hall,
felt that the building as it is used now as a Market is quite
acceptable, but as a V.F.W. Hall it would be very disturbing
to the tenants of the apartment in the evening when people are
trying to sleep.
Dr. Perlmutter, owner of.the apartment, 825 Whittaker Rd.
Santa Monica, stated that he felt that the V.F.W. Hall would
add to his vacancy factor in the apartments that he owns since
the activities of the V.F.W. would be held in the evening hours
and until midnight.which is late and the noise would be very
disturbing to the tenants.
Robert Angles, 9147 Valley Blvd., Rosemead, stated that
he was an ex-V.F.W. member and he would not want a V.F.W. Hall
next to the property where he lived. He felt it should not be
