Mr. Madewell said they kept 100 children at present and had a waiting list of 70 children. Jimmy McFadden, owner of 3140 Lamar Avenue, said he moved from this location because of traffic congestion and that the house was difficult to rent as a residence.

Edna Petway, 3150 Lamar, expressed her opinion that the property should remain zoned residential since that was the primary use.
