Area Board of Zoning Appeals -September 2, 2009 MR. HAWLEY: I would to add that a second to the motion. I was born and raised on the south end of town. I'm very familiar with Garland Circle. I watched Dr. Skillern's house being built there. I stood in it as it was under construction. I used to sled up and down Robin Hood Lane and I think this property and this location should remain as it was intended. A nice neighborhood. And I just think this is the wrong place for this facility and so I second the motion. A motion to send the petition to the Common Council with an Unfavorable Recommendation was made by Mr. Phipps and seconded by Mr. Hawley. MR. VELLEMAN: Yes. MR. YOUNG: Yes. MR. HAWLEY: Yes. MR. PHIPPS: Yes. MR. URBANSKI: Before I vote, I'd like to make one comment also. At the present time and for probably the last nine years or ten years I've been on the Board of Directors of Families First which previously was called The Fire House which serves the needs of young people who need visitation with there parents that is supervised. And so I was very involved with the purchase of our last two houses that we had to buy. Very concerned about many issues that was brought up by the neighborhoods and we put them in neighborhoods that were adjacent to commercial. Yet it was a neighborhood setting. So I do vote yes to send it with an unfavorable recommendation. The motion carried unanimously. After hearing the evidence on the petition, the Area Board of Zoning Appeals find that you did not satisfy the Standards as set forth in I.C. 36-7-4-918.5; therefore, the petition was sent to the Common Council with an Unfavorable Recommendation. Based on the testimony presented, the Area Board of Zoning Appeals, after careful consideration, finds this Special Exception is sent to the Common Council with an Unfavorable Recommendation and will issue written Finding of Facts.
