She <br />reported that the Area Plan Commission gave the petition a favorable recommendation. <br />Andrew Nemeth, developer of the parcel went to great lengths to describe the need for the request. He <br />said the Nelo Corp. would be building a facility that would produce welded aluminum parts for the RV <br />industry creating over 500 jobs. He noted the buffer zones on the south and west side of the property. <br />This buffer included a 100 foot wide strip of mature trees, a 6 foot berm with evergreen plantings and a <br />6 to 8 foot fence, all meant to minimize any negative quality of life issues for nearby neighbors. The <br />developer also spoke of building a private access road off of Lombardy away from any residences. <br />Karen White said nearby residents voiced concerns about dust from the site. Andrew Nemeth <br />responded saying the buffer zone and the fact that trucks would be on a paved lot should allay those <br />concerns. <br />Ultimately, on a motion made by Gavin Ferlic, seconded by Derek Dieter and affirmed by all, the bill was <br />forwarded to full Council favorably. <br />Tim Scott adjourned the meeting at 3:40 P.M. <br />Subm <br />Tim Sc airpe <br />Zoning & Ann ation Committee <br />11 Page <br />
