great old buildings in this City. We have to save that entire neighborhood and this is an important piece of that neighborhood. No one from the public spoke in opposition to the bill. Patrick C. Kerr, Engineering Department with offices on the 13th Floor, stated they have no objection to a curb cut on Chapin other than checking the sight distance. Originally there was an alley connected but did not push it through Chapin because of vertical sigh distance along Chapin. From their standpoint as long as their inspection is okay Engineering has no problem. Committee Chair Davis asked what would make their check fail. Mr. Kerr responded if there was something where the drive could not see a car coming or a car on Chapin could not see them pulling out. Committee Chair Davis asked if there is a problem what are the steps that could be taken to alleviate the issue. Mr. Kerr responded a number of things depending on the problem such as removing a tree that is in the way. This is something that could be worked on and we are not opposed to a curb cut, we just need to make sure to protect public safety in the process. Council Attorney Cekanksi - Farrand asked if they could complete that process by the next Council meeting on June 13th. Mr. Kerr responded yes they could probably make that work. They typically have the developer perform these studies but they could help the process move quicker. If the director chooses for us to make those calculations ourselves then we certainly could do that. Mr. Zeiger stated they would be alright with a delay if that is most advantageous. We are just trying to move forward and cant until this step is completed. It would just push all our plans back two (2) weeks but it would not be the end of the world. Committeemember John Voorde made a motion to continue the meeting to June 13th. Committeemember Gavin Ferlic seconded the motion which carried by a voice vote of four (4) ayes. Bill No. 22 -16 — Rezoning at 6100 Nimtz Parkway Mathew Chappuies, Area Plan Commission with offices on the 11 th Floor of the County -City Building, served as the presenter for this bill. This is the northwest corner of the Blackthorn Golf Course just south of Nimtz Parkway. The petitioner is requesting a zone change from Light Industrial to Community Business for a hotel. They are also seeking a special exception to keep the remaining portion of the golf course because a golf course is not something that is allowed in Community Business. North of the property are offices. Just east of the property is the golf course clubhouse. To the south is the rest of the golf course. To the west of the bypass are farms.
