Pale 2. Zoning and Vacation Committee discussion Councilman Puzzello made a motion seconded by Councilman Beck that Bill No. 36-84 be sent without recommendation to the Council. The motion passed unanimously. Bill 30-84 was then discussed by the Committee. This Bill would designate 1840 Kessler as an historic landmark within the City. It was noted that it received a favorable recommendation from the Area Plan Commission and had a 12 rating. Mr. Carpenter questioned whether the property owners are contacted regarding such designations, and was informed that typically they are in light of possible tax consequences and restrictions on exterior improvements. Following discussion Councilman Serge made a motion seconded by Councilman Puzzello that Bill No. 30-84 go to Council favorably. The motion passed unanimously. Bill No, 16-84 which would amend the zoning of a parcel on Bendix Drive was then discussed. It was noted that this Bill was continued at the last Council meeting in order to allow the petitioner to revise his final site plan in light of objections made by the residents in the area. Councilman Braboy passed out a statement which would be read into the record this evening by Mr. George H.Flake who is opposed to the re-zoning (copy attached) . She noted that she met with the residents last evening to review the revised site plan and noted that the residents are still not satisfied. They still believe that there is a safety problem, noise and air pollution problem, and a possible drainage problem resulting from the proposed four foot mound of dirt. She appealed to the Committee not to approve the re-zoning. Councilman Puzzello expressed concern that during the two week period between the last public hearing and tonight that the company had not met with the residents. Councilman Beck noted that she had telephoned Mr. Nimtz on Saturday regarding this situation. Mr. Carpenter noted that he had worked for Area .Plan for six years and that the staff of the Area Plan should be used more in lending their expertise to situations like this one. Following further discussion Councilman Beck made a motion seconded by Councilman Puzzello that Bill No. 16-84 be recommended unfavorably to Council. The motion passed unanimously. The Council Attorney then passed out a substitute version of Resolution 9C which would approve an amended scrap and junk yard license for Metal Resources Corporation and would waive the 1, 000 ft. requirement of Municipal Code Section 4-51. She noted that the substitute resolution had been prepared by the legal department. Councilman Zakrzewski stated that he had had a meeting with residents of Rum Village and had talked with their President. Their concern was that once a variance is made for one company that it would be made for all. He also noted that couple living closest to the project also was dis-satisfied and were to talk with Mr. Rifkin of the Company today. The Council Attorney stressec that requests of this type are reviewed on a case by case basis, which Council- man Zakrzewski noted that he had brought to Rum Villages attention.
