<br /> The Mayor presented the followinE letter:
<br />
<br /> The Board of Directors of ttae Ports~uth Cb~mber of Commerce, at its
<br />regular monthly meeting on F~iday, November 18th, considered the case of the Commonwealth
<br />Broadcasting Corporation (Station wL0~), which through its representatives has made applica-
<br />tion to install a radio station and studio at the North end of Middle St. in the City o f
<br />Portsmouzh. This property i ~ presently zoned for multiple-family dwelling dzszr_ct,
<br />and a ~equest to the Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone it for commercial purposes was
<br />denied, with the reservation, however, that the Planning and Zoning Commission would not ob
<br />ject i~ the City Council saw fit to amend its zoning ordinauce to hermit radio stations and
<br />studios to be erected in such areas that had been zoned for multiple family dwelling purposes]
<br /> The Co~mmittee on Industrial Development looked into this and found that
<br />~0W desired to locate in Portsmouth, that they would spend around ~1~5,000. for development,
<br />ah ...... umd bri~ 18 e~,~lo~rees to Portsmouth and a payroll~of $60,000.00 a year, and ~at thei~
<br />~h~' for ~pplie~ e%c. would certainly ~mo~.t to another $100,000.00:~ In+additzon there
<br />to- if and when this station should go znto t&levzsion, they~would be requ~ed ~o spend at
<br />least ~200,000.00 more. It was felt by the Industrial Committee that this was an industry that
<br />Portsmouth could ill afford to lose, and so they recommended to the Board of Directors that
<br />the Council be requested to amend its ordinsmce to permit this company t o locate on this site
<br /> ~ae Chamber Directorate's unanimous action was one of supporting the
<br />station's proposal, at the same time protecting the interests of property owners iht he af -
<br />letted section.
<br /> it is therefore respectfully requested that you request the C~ y At -
<br />torney to prepare an ordinance permitting the establisbm~ent of radio stations and studios in
<br />districts zoned such as this one, without opening them to other co~m~erczal development.
<br />
<br />Respectfully submitted,
<br />
<br />Sol Fass, President."

<br />mission for a public hearing and to report to t he Council on~cember 13th, was adopted.
