Mr. Nelson stated that the variance is justified because (1) the character of the area has so changed that residence use is not the highest use for this property, (2) there are 2 zoning classifications, B-1 and R-3, on this property and (3) the variance gives the Board and Mr. Kiphart' s office con- trol of the use of this property.
