Due to a request by the petitioner, Oliver Davis entertained a motion to continue Bill 81 -15 to the Zoning & Annexation Committee meeting on February 8, 2016. So moved by Gavin Ferlic and seconded by John Voorde. The motion carried by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. Bill No. 72 -15 — Amending the zoning ordinance and requesting a special exception for 3055 Edison Rd. Angela Smith, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11th Floor of the County -City Building, served as the presenter for this bill. She reported the bill is to remove the "Beauty Salon Only" designation and rezone it as an Office Buffer designation with the Beauty Salon option still available. This bill is to help broaden the people who would be willing to purchase the lot. Karen White asked if anyone spoke against this bill at the Area Plan meeting. Angela responded no one supported or spoke against it. Janice Hennsel, 2477 Lake St. Niles, is the petitioner for this bill. She spoke to the Committee regarding the history of the property and how they have had zero offers since they closed their business at the site location. They are hoping that by removing the Beauty Salon Only designation a broader range of perspective buyers would be attracted to the site. She also stated she has some interested buyers already contingent upon this bill passing. There was no one from the public who wished to speak in favor or opposition of the bill.
