COMMISSIONER LOY EXPRESSED SYMPATHY THAT THERE APPARENTLY HAD BEEN AN ERROR MADE ON THE SURVEY, BUT FELT THAT BUFFER -ZONES ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND HAVE BECOME MORE IMPORTANT THROUGH THE YEARS. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LOY TO DENY THE REQUEST FOR REZONING OF THE 14' STRIP TO R -IMP, AND WAS SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER WODTKE FOR PURPOSES OF DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT BUFFER ZONES ARE IMPORTANT, BUT EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT A 14' STRIP OF LAND THAT IS OUT OF KILTER. HE NOTED THERE ALREADY ARE SOME MINI WAREHOUSES AND LIKE DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST. HE FELT THE 14' STRIP CREATES A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND DID NOT KNOW WHETHER THEY COULD BE ABLE TO GET A ZONING PERMIT TO UTILIZE IT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHERE THE ZONING PERMIT WOULD BE ISSUED WITH REGARD TO THE R -IMP. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER FELT THAT THE SETBACK LINE, REGARDLESS OF ZONING, WOULD BE MEASURED FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. HE FURTHER POINTED OUT THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD UTILIZE THE STRIP AS ABACK ALLEY, WHETHER IT WAS ZONED C-1, R-1, OR R -IMP, AND THEN THERE WOULD BE NO BUFFER AT ALL. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE COULD VISUALIZE SITUATIONS WHERE THE OPINION OF THE PLANNER COULD CAUSE SOME REAL PROBLEMS AS TO WHETHER THE ZONING LINE IS TO BE USED FOR SETBACKS INSTEAD OF PROPERTY LINES AND CONTINUED THAT HE WAS NOT SURE HE TOTALLY AGREED WITH THE PLANNER'S OPINION. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WAS CONCERNED WITH THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR A 14' STRIP OF LAND, AND HE FELT THE PROPER SPOT TO GET YOUR BUFFER IS THROUGH THE SITE PLAN. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES FOR MAKING THE ROADS IN THE MOBILE HOME PARK A LITTLE WIDER WITHOUT REZONING AND ALSO AS TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE HALF ROAD SHOWN ON THE WEST OF GRENVIEW GARDENS ON THE OLD PLAT IS WHAT WAS LEFT OUT OF THE ORIGINAL REZONING. ATTORNEY CLEM:STATED THERE NEVER WAS A ROAD THERE AS FAR AS HE KNEW. FEB 2 01980 53 B©OK 42: PAGE .4 7
