The following action was taken: After due consideration the Commission found that: 1. The granting of the petition would result in a continuation of strip zoning. 2. Said zoning would face residential zoning and use on the opposite side of Lincolnway West. 3. Termination of existing zoning at the present point will be in the best interests of the area. 4. The motel is a logical and effective buffer between commercial use to the east and existing residential zoning to the west of subject property. 5. The Hartman property could logically and justifiably be used under their present zoning classification; that residential use exists on similar property in the vicinity. It was therefore duly moved, seconded, and unanimously carried that the petition be recommended unfavorably to the Common Council. Very truly yours, CITY PLANNING COMMISSION /s/ Robert L.
