DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE INTENT OF COMMISSIONER LYONS' POTION, AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS MEANT TO DENY THE REZONING RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OR TO DENY ANY CHANGE IN ZONING. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THE ZONING BOARD HAD DONE A GOOD JOB AND STATED THAT SHE LIKED THE B-1 ON THE ROAD A LOT BETTER THAN THE R-3. ATTORNEY .JOHNSTON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HIS CLIENT HAD ACQUIESCED WITH -THE PLANNING BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE C -1A AND THE B-1 AND FURTHER NOTED THAT THE PLANNING BOARD'S ATTORNEY STATED THEY COULD CHANGE THE REQUEST BECAUSE IT WAS A HIGHER ZONING AND DID NOT DOWNGRADE FROM THE NOTICE. THE -CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON WITH COMMISSIONERS LYONS AND DEESON VOTING IN FAVOR; COMMISSIONERS Loy, WODTKE, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT VOTED IN OPPOSITION. THE MOTION FAILED. POTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 80-9 GRANTING A REZONING TO C-lA FOR THE 150' X 250' AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PROPERTY ADVERTISED, THE REMAINDER OF THE PROPERTY TO BE GIVEN A B-1 CLASSIFICATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT WE ARE GETTING BACK INTO THE BUSINESS OF LITTLE DRIBS AND DRABS OF REZONING AND THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE WHOLE AREA IN ORDER TO HAVE A TOTALLY ARTICULATED PICTURE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE LOOKS AT IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE MANY RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE IN AN AREA THAT IS SEVEN TO EIGHT MILES FROM TOWN. HE BELIEVED THESE PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO HAVE FACILITIES AVAILABLE AND THAT WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THE AREA DEVELOPS AND THE NEEDS ARISE. COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS ALL KINDS OF B-1 NEARBY, AND THAT THERE ALREADY IS A GAS PUMP ACROSS THE STREET AND A SMALL CAFE. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH DEVELOPING THAT CORNER, BUT FELT IT SHOULD BE PART OF AN INTEGRATED APPROACH. 44 MAR 51980 .4z, t;
