A Zoning and Vacation Committee August 13, 1990 Page 4 determined by his client that this would be a "substantial change". Two women spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning who did not provide their names to the Committee. It was noted for the record that the Common Council approved the initial rezoning at its meeting of January 28, 1985. Council Member Duda stated that she believes the property should be properly utilized. Council Member Coleman that ownership should not be a factor when determining proper land use in that he does see it as a further encroachment of the neighborhood. Following much discussion, Council Member Niezgodski made a motion seconded by Council Member Slavinskas that substitute Bill #34-90 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed with Council Members Niezgodski and Skavinskas voting in favor, Council Member Coleman voting in opposition, and Council Members Zakrzewski and Luecke abstaining. The next item on the agenda was to review Bill #36-90 which would ammend the zoning for the property located at 529 South Fellows Street. Mr. William Panzica spoke on behalf of the Petitioner. He noted that at the July 17, 1990 meeting of the Area Plan Commission that it received an unfavorable recommendation. He stated that the property in question would have 13 additional parking spaces and 2 handicapped parking spaces. Council Member Luecke questioned why the Petitioner was utilizing the rezoning route as opposed to petitioning the Board of Zoning appeals. Mr. Panzica noted that he had contacted Mr. Jeff Gibney, who recommended the rezoning process. He also noted that there is a pending petition before the BZA. Following further discussion, Council Member Zakrzewski made a motion seconded by Council Member Coleman that Substitute Bill #36-90 be recommended favorable. The motion passed with Council Member Coleman voting in the minority. Mr. John Oxian then reviewed Bill #46-90 which would establish an Historic landmark for the property located at 119 LaPorte. He noted that the property in questioned is ranked a "12" and is a Queen Anne style. Following further discussion, Council Member Zakrzewski made a motion seconded by Council Member Niezgodski that Bill #46-90 be recommended favorably to Council.
