The first item reviewed by the Committee was Bill No. 132-83 which is a zoning bill for property located on West Washington. The petitioner' s attorney, John Ford, passed out two maps of the property in question (attached) and outlined the reasons for the re-zoning. He noted that the property is directly across from Washington High School and that the parties'near the proposed re-zoning area have signed a statement of no objection. The re-zoning is necessary to provide additional parking and to increase the size of the service department of the Shamrock Ford Truck Sales, Inc... Councilman Voorde read excerpts from the Area Plan Commission meeting held on January 17, 1984 which noted that the staff and Commission gave favorable recommendations to re-zone the area from B Residential, A Height in area, to C Commercial, A Height in area. There were no remonstrators and it was believed to be a compatible use. Councilman Braboy stated that she had carefully studied all of the material and had personally spoke with persons in the area and found everyone to be in favor of the proposed re-zoning. It was also noted that a similar re-zoning was approved in 1980 by the Council, but due to economic circumstances the program did not go forward and therefore the need to re-petition the Council. Doug Carpenter suggested that a non-access .easement may be looked into for the area. Following further discussion by the Committee, Councilman Serge made a motion seconded by Councilman Zakrzewski that Bill No. 132-83 (as amended) be recommended favorably ::..to Council. The Motion passed unanimously. (Note : the APC heard a substitute verison of 132-83 which is on file at the City Clerk's office and was properly advertised) The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 143-83 which is a proposed re-zoning by the Lueneburgs to zone from C Commercial, A Height and area, and A Residential, A height and area, to C Commercial, A Height and area, the property located at 2037 East Ireland Road. The proposed re-zoning would allow a small retail area to be .placed at the location.
