The Commission recommends approval of this applicatiOn which would clarify a zoning district boundary between commercial andresidential development.~ Motion of Mr. Barnes that the City Clerk advertise for public hearing on April 12, 1966, was adopted, without dissenting vote. 66-66 - The following letter from the Recreation Advisory Board was read: "In reply to your letter of Eebruary 23, 1966, may I inform you of action taken at the February meeting of the Portsmouth Recreation Advisory Board. A committee appeared before the Board with a petition bearing approximately 150 signatures which among other things stated "we believe that the interest of the boating public will be served to best advantage by building the new public ramp at City Park where the old ramp is presently located"f Inasmuch as this item had been on the Advisory Board's agenda for some time with a committee headed by Mr. T. C. Mingis studying the possible sites withiff the city limits for relocating a boat ramp, considerable thought and discussion was given during the time the coFmittee was present and afterwards under "old business". It has been of even more concern to the Board since there has been a growing number of reports that boaters have been turned away at the present boat ramp at Pinners Point. After discussing this matter at length, the Board concurred in an recommendation from Mr. Mingis that the proper city a~thorities investigate the possibility of const~m*~n~ a boat ramp adjacent to the north side of the old C~ty Park bridge with a t~er being built along side the bridge and, if feasible, immediate steps be taken to make this a reality. At the same time the Board emphasized the fact that work should not be discontinued on the proposed ramp in Scott's Creek Park, ntoing that in the not too distant future the boating public in ou~ City will b~ in need of several launching facilities. Y~ur cooperation in this matte~ will be greatly appreciated." Mo~ion of Mr. Johnson that the matter be referred to the City Manager, and that he submit a report at the next meeting of Council, was adopted, without dissenting vote. On motion adjourned. Approved - President City Clerk
