, Page 2 the petition in order. There were no third parties appearing either in favor of or against the request. Upon motion duly made by Mr. Steve Edwards, seconded by Mr. George Smith, and unanimously passed by all members present, the rezoning classifi- cation of the property shall be recommended to the Mooresville Town Board to general business, subject, however, to finalization of the annexation procedures as provided by statute. Mr. Steve Beagle, of 234 North Meridian Street, Greenwood, Indiana, telephone number 888-8642, appeared before the Board and advised the Board that he was purchasing on contract the building commonly known as the 'IOld Kindrick Hospital". Mr. Beagle was informed of the variance which had been given to Mr. Heath at the time he appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeals several years ago. Mr. Beagle was also advised of the problems that the Board had experienced in the use of this property and informed Mr. Beagle that at this point in time the only proper use of this building was for apartments on the second floor with business buildings on the lower. If he wished to change this procedure, he would have to ask for a further variance in the use of the property or to request rezoning. Mr. George Smith indicated that he had made inquiry with the Indiana Fire Marshall's office and that a letter had been sent to the property owner indicating that smoke detectors would have to be installed in the apartment building to comply with State requirements. Mr. Beagle said he was aware of this and was in the process of complying with this procedure. Mr. Smith also advised Mr. Beagle that he had been in contact with the Adminis- trative Building Counsel and there was no record that any approval had been given for the use of this property for apartment dwellings by the present owner and the contract seller, Mr. Heath. Mr. Beagle was directed to contact the Administrative Building Counsel to comply with whatever requests would be made by this adminis- trative agency. Mr. Beagle advised the Board as to improvements that he intended to make on the property. He also indicated that he had proceeded to discuss the problem areas as alleged by the neighboring property. The Board thanked Mr. Beagle for appearing before it. The Committee which had been asked to make inquiry in regards to the James Rippy property at 66 Sweetwood Drive, Mooresville, Indiana 46158, reported that it appeared that a business was being operated or had been operated there in the past.
