He stated that they would protably have a bar in their building, and with the Boys' Club next do,~r, this might be objectionable, and rith a filling station acro:,s the street, it would appear that they should be allowed the same i~se for their property. As far as could be ascertained, the city ~uld this property to the Veterans of Poreign Wars for the erection of a club house; but no restrictions were placed on the property that this use had to be the only allow- zble use, No one appeared in opposition to the granting of the variance.

The landing area raill be adjaeent to the Nonderland Hotei xith the heli.copter operating out of said area. The property is gresently classified R-A. No one appeared for the applicant at the Hearing, but at the start of the Commission Meeting a letter rras handed to the Chairman covering this application, Nhich ~ras presumed to have all the nec- essary iaforsatio~. Thr originai applieation from Wiiliam P. Hddy stated that they had received permissioa from the Wonder Bow:, Inc. to operate *his heiicop':er froee Lheir lot adjace~ to the Wonderland Motel near bisneyland to give rifles around Disneyland for amusement. This helicopter would be operated only during daylight hours on weekends and holidays, and the site ~ras carefuliy selected for safe take-off and approach lanes, and rould operate over a carefuily selected ro,rte~ sa as to avoid iajury to persons or property in case of emgine malfunction. This operation has beea approved by the District Safety Office of the C.A.A, located in Loag Beach. No improvements to the proFertq roill be made, and adequate exper- ienc~d persunnel would be provided to assure tbat people are kept clear ~f any dazfger invodving this oachine. Upon receipt of this original application~ the Secretary rorote to Alr. Nilliam P. Hddy and told hin t~at there could be ao flights directly over Disneq- land; also that we have had e~erieace with helicopter operation lauZing on unimproved space at the start of the postal operation ia Aaaheim, and found that the dust raised a-as vesy objectionab2e, There is at present a helieopter sereice from Disneqland to the Los Angeles Airpost; but they laa;i and tate-off on a blacktopped area so that the dust is heid drnm to a minimum.

A map aiso was filed ~ oring a proposed rouLe whieh presumably goes over uninhabited territory, but ahich is now u~er development to quite a large exteut. No flight angies for asce~ and descent were shown oa any map. Mr. Robert P. Foster, r:sident I.egal Counsei for Disneqland, Inc., appeared before the Co~ission opposing the graating of this Specia2 Use Persit for the reason that there is a coaceatxatioa of people same~ere in the neighborhoad of approx- imatelq 30,000 people withiu a 60 acre area, and that if aaything in the aature of a salfunction of a heiicopter should oecur, it might be disastrous. He a2so stated that Disneyia~ coasidered a simi?.ar operation, but considered it too Lazardous. THB I~ARIPIG WAS CL06BD.
