<br />This being the time heretofore set for public hearing on the above ordinance, proponents.and
<br />opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Jack C. Dunfee, Jr., Attorney at Law
<br />practicing in the First Bank Building, made the presentation for the ordinance. He stated that he
<br />represented the petitioner, Associates Bancorp, Inc., a daughter corporation of Associates
<br />Corporation of North America, and the owners of the property in question. He outlined the area in
<br />question on the overhead projector. He explained that the petition would rezone the entire lot to
<br />"C -2" Planned Shopping Center District. Some time ago, the whole lot had been rezoned to "C"
<br />Commercial. The reason for the rezoning was that, at one time, it was suggested that the property
<br />to the east would be rezoned as such and it would be consistent to zone and keep the area in the
<br />same classification. The only change would be for the north half to be used for an insurance
<br />company office and claims building. The property would then tie into the property on the east sid
<br />in order that a main access point could be used to help the traffic situation. Mr. Dunfee stated
<br />that there were no remonstrators at the Area Plan Commission hearing and the petition had been
<br />returned to the Council with a favorable recommendation subject to a resolution concerning access
<br />easements and a final site plan. He indicated that the easement has been prepared and would be
<br />submitted to Area Plan before approval of the site plan could be given.
<br />Councilman Miller expressed concern over the developments to the west of the property in question.
<br />He stated that, at one time, a certain petitioner had requested an easement on property owned by
<br />Associates to the west. He wondered about this. Mr. Dunfee was of the opinion that this matter
<br />would be resolved and the easement given for the strip of land between the two properties. Chairn
<br />Newburn indicated that he thought this was the feeling of the Council and that the Council hoped
<br />this could be accomplished. Councilman Taylor asked if there was an access to the east -west roadxA
<br />Mr. Dunfee indicated that this property does not have access; however, the Golden Bear property
<br />does have access to Norman Street. Council President Nemeth asked if the Council would have to
<br />amend the ordinance, changing the classification from "C" Commercial to "C -2 Planned Shopping Cent
<br />Mr. Dunfee requested that the Council do so.
<br />Council President Nemeth made a motion to amend the ordinance by changing the zoning classificatioi
<br />to "C -2" Planned Shopping Center, seconded by Councilman Taylor. The motion carried. Councilman
<br />Szymkowiak then made a motion that the amended ordinance go to the Council as favorable, seconded k
<br />Councilman Miller. The motion carried.

<br />practicing in the First Bank Building, made the presentation for the ordinance. He stated that
<br />he represented the petitioners, Mr. Hartwig and Mr. Locker, developers of the property in question.

<br />land from the owners. He referred to the overhead projector designating the area in question. The
<br />petition sought to rezone the property from Residential to "C -2 ". He requested that the Council
<br />amend the ordinance to change the legal description of the property because of reducing the area tc
<br />be rezoned to the south. He indicated that the Area Plan Commission had ruled unfavorably on the
<br />rezoning not in objection to the rezoning but because of development of the property south along

<br />south along the K -Mart east property line, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski. The motion carried.
