MARY'S CHURCH~ CONVENT AVENUE First on the agenda was the public hearing on the request of St. Mary's Church, 2 Convent Avenue seeking a Special Use Permit to be able to operate a Thrift Shop out of the former convent building which is in a R7.5 zone. Ms. Christine Hickey (a parent of children in the school and involved in fundraising ) and Ms. LaRose (principal of St. Mary's) were present. Mr. Frink asked Ms. Hickey if she had an affidavit from the Church stating she was authorized to represent the Church this evening and Ms. Hickey stated she did not. Mr. Frink stated this was necessary to be able to continue the hearing. Ms. Eileen Sassmann stated she is a parishioner at St. Mary's, a resident of Clinton Street and the Secretary of the Parish Counsel of St. Mary's. At the last Parish Counsel meeting this was discussed and Msgr. Bellew was in favor of it. She offered to go home - get her notes of the Parish Counsel meeting and also attempt to get the signature of Msgr. Bellew to be able to continue the hearing. Mr. Danserean stated he does not agree with Mr. Frink. He stated that having the principal of the Parish school present and Ms. Sassmann stating she was at the last Parish Counsel meeting where it was discussed was sufficient for him. Mr. Frink stated it is his personal belief that the affidavit of ownership is required by law to be able to conduct the public hearing. Therefore Mr. Frink made a motion stating that the hearing will be adjourned until such time that either someone with authority comes back in person or someone brings in an affidavit of ownership. Mr. Davis seconded the motion. Unanimously carried.
