Dr. Varner questioned whether the owners to the west were notified. Mr. Young stated that the Langs were in favor of the proposal.

Levy dated September 28, 1998 (copy attached) requesting that Substitute Bill No. 62-98 addressing the rezoning of 216 35th Street be withdrawn from further Council consideration. Councilmember Hosinski noted that the last item on the Committee's agenda was to review Bill No. 70-98 which is a rezoning request for the property located at the 4600 and 4700 block of New Cleveland Road. John Byorni noted that both the staff and the Area Plan Commission send this Bill to the Council with an unfavorable recommendation. Mr. Kenneth Fedder, the attorney for the Petitioner Target Leasing, Inc., made the presentation. He noted that this is a request to change the zoning from "BP" Business Park to "D" Light Industrial. Sharon Myers spoke against the proposed rezoning. She noted that she would give a petition signed by residents of the neighborhood at the 7 p.m. meeting. She showed an aerial view of the area and noted that the residents were assured that when the rezoning was changed to "BP"in 1994 that that would be the final change to the use of the property. John Byorni noted that "BP"requires a 100 foot buffer with no structures within it whereas Industrial requires only a 25 foot buffer. Grethen Kathun spoke against the rezoning. She said it would increase pollution and noise from a potential trucking company. Rich Coddens spoke against the rezoning. He stated that he is against what the ultimate use of the property may be under the"Industrial" classification. Bernie Bauer spoke against the rezoning. He noted that he was retired and a long-time resident of the area and believed it was not in the resident's best interests since the area is residential in character.
