Committeemember Broden then asked, Have you tried weather amnesty? Mr. Fox replied, We have but it didn't fit our building with an active church. We did it for three (3) years and we decided we cannot continue doing that. We support other agencies financially but we no longer provide it ourselves. Committeemember Broden followed up, What does the timeframe look like to get this up and rolling? Mr. Fox replied, We hope to close on the building around the first week in November. The building has not been a residence since sometime in the 1940s so we have a lot of work to do. The building is in wonderful shape but we are looking at late winter or early spring to start serving clients. Committee Vice Chair then opened the floor to members of the public wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the legislation. There were none.

Committee Chair Oliver Davis arrived at the meeting at 3:11 p.m. Bill No. 54-17-Rezoning for property located at 3333 N. Kenmore St. Angela Smith, Deputy Director of the Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11th floor of the County-City Building, stated, The peititoner is seeking to rezone the property from LI—Light Industrial to GI—General Industrial. It is approximately a nine(9) acre site. The properties on all four(4) sides of the site are zoned LI currently. There is an existing 45,000 square foot building with 6,000 square feet of office space and fifty-three (53)parking spaces. The site plan shows future expansion to come in two (2)phases with about 56,000 square feet of additional industrial space. They are trying to preserve the existing mature trees but will do some additional landscaping as the site is expanded. There will be screening for the solvent storage area in the northwest corner of the site. This comes to you from the Area Plan Commission(APC) with a favorable recommendation. Rezoning this site to GI—General Industrial will allow for the expansion and redevelopment of an industrial property that is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Mike Danch, Danch, Harper& Associates with offices at 1643 Commerce Drive, stated, We are requesting this rezoning for Tri-Pac, Inc. He distributed a handout that depicted the proposed site plan(available in the City Clerk's Office). He continued, What the site plan shows is the additional landscaping for the solvent tanks. Most of the mature trees will remain on the site. We will also expand toward the truck-dock area on the east side of the building and we have added some additional screening there. 3
