Page 3 that he had attended meetings of the Swanson Neighborhood Association and meetings with Mr. Morgan and Mr. Kieva. He stated that the overall rezoning was troublesome but that he would listen to any new evidence that would be presented. Following further discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion seconded by Council Member Neizgodski, that Bill No. 68-90 be recommended unfavorably to Council. The vote was 2- 0-2 with Council Members Duda and Luecke abstaining. The motion therefore failed. Council Member Luecke voiced concern with regard to the proposed rezoning but noted that he would listen to any new evidence made available this evening. Council Member Slavinskas stated that he believes that not all of the evidence has been submitted, and that he would listen to the neighborhood and to both sides this evening. He stated that he believes a proper line should be drawn in this area. Council Member Duda noted that she has worked with the neighborhood group since 1980. Personally, she does not see the proposed project as being harmful, however she noted that the neighborhood is 75% against it. She therefore professionally is opposed to the rezoning. Council Member Slavinskas noted that in light of the fact that there was not a majority voting on the last motion that Bill No. 68-90 would be sent to the full Council without recommendation. Council Member Slavinskas then noted that the next item to be reviewed was Bill No. 82-90 which is a proposed rezoning for property located at the Northwest corner of New Cleveland Road and Maple/Portage Roads as well as by the Michiana Regional Airport. Mr. John Byorni showed to the Council a map indicating where the three parcels are located. He noted that a Substitute Bill incorporating all three parcels into the Bill had been previously filed with the City Clerk. Parcel 1 would become "D" Light Industrial, Parcel 2 would become "D" Light Industrial, and Parcel 3 would become "B" Residential. The Council Attorney noted that if the Council would accept the Substitute Bill, that Bill No. 98-90 should then be struck from the agenda under Unfinished Business. Council Member Luecke questioned whether one could farm under the "B" Zoning classification. He was advised that one could, and noted that Kathy Holcomb of 21677 Auten Road, had written to him with regard to this.
