He believed that soccer would be a clean use. Mr. Hatfield stated that he had visited several soccer facilities and both he and Mr. Dolansky, Commissiouer of Parks and Recreation, were 'vnpressed with this operation since it was one of the best managed and the most family oriented. He stated that they had over 900 children playing soccer and believed this would be an advantage. Mr. Wiborg stated that they have had a problem finding places for their in-house program to play and tlus would provide them a place. The members agreed it was an asset to the community. Mr. Maloney liked the idea that the building could be used for an industrial use if something happened to this operation. Law Duector Gareau stated that this would seem to be a compatible use, and he suggested that council might look into including recreational facilities as a permitted use within the Iudustrial District. Building Commissioner Conway would like the variance to stipulate that the front parking be removed if tlus use is ever changed back to industrial since the other buildings on Lorain road are required to have 100 foot of landscaping.
