<br /> "In accordance with See/ion 4-2 of the Zoning Ordinance, I submit herewith a report of the
<br />Director of Public Health, Director of Public Works and the Chief of the Fire Department concerning a Use Permit
<br />for a cemetery on land adjoining Olive Branch Cemetery."
<br />
<br /> "This is in reference to ~the application made b~ the City of Pertsmouth for a "Us~ Permit" for the
<br />tract of land bounded by the Olive Branch Cemetery, Clifford Street, Bath's Creek, City Park and the Friendship
<br />Gardens for the expansion of the Olive Branch Cemetery.
<br /> So far as the Department of Public Works is concerned I can see no reason wily it should not be
<br />approved as requested. The property was originslly purchased by the City for this purpose and since the purchase
<br />it has been planned by the City Government to ex~end the Cemetery over to Bsin's Creek when needed.
<br /> In my opinion the proposed use would not adversely effect the health of. safety of persons residing
<br />or working in the neighborhood, nor would Lt be detr,~ental to the welfare ~or'injurious 5G the property or
<br />improvements in the general area. F. J. Bergeron, Director of Public Works."
<br />
<br /> "In reply to. your request for a report on a use permit fo~ extension of Olive Branch Cemetery, this
<br />property was viewed by me.
<br /> In my opinion, the extension of the boundaries of the cemetery, as described in your letter, will
<br />no~ adversel~ a,ffect the health or-safety of persons residing in the neighborhood, and~ will no.t be detrimental ~o
<br />the welfare or injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood. Dr. S. A Graham, Director of
<br />Public Health."
<br />
<br /> "I hav~ investigated the request of the City of Portsmouth for a use permit for the tract of land
<br />bounded by the Olive Branch Cemetery, Clifford Street, Bath's Creek, Portsmouth City Pa~k and the Friendship
<br />Gardens.
<br /> I see no reason why the granting of this reques5 would adversely affect the health or safety of
<br />persons residing or working in the.neighborhood or be detrimental to the welfare or injurious 5o the proper~y and
<br />improvemenss in the neighborhood. Chief K. L. Host, Chief Bureau of Fire Prevention."
