JAN 14 1966 j Boa 63 231 side of North Gifford road was to be reclassified from M-1 Restricted Industrial to Light Industrial. They have been informed since that there are one or two salvage yards in the area that would become non -conforming, and it may be necessary to' look at this again. Commissioner Bird wished to know whether the permitted uses remain basically the same when converting from one designation to another. Planner Shearer confirmed that they generally do, i.e., the uses in C-1 are almost identical to C -G, and in fact, the new designation is usually less restrictive in most respects. Commissioner Bird asked whether the junkyards referred to in Gifford could continue to operate in their present form, and Planner Shearer clarified that they could continue to operate indefinitely, but it would prevent them from expanding their use. Commissioner Wodtke inquired about the method of notifica- tion followed re the zoning conversions, and Planner Shearer explained that state statutes provide that if you rezone more than 50 of a county, the only notification required is a quarter page advertisement in Section A of a local newspaper. Since this conversion encompassed more than 400 square miles of the county, that is all that was done. This same procedure was followed for the residential zoning conversion in April. Commissioner Wodtke felt when talking about the nodal concept recently, the Board indicated we wanted to have specific notification. Planner Shearer believed we are dealing with about 50,000 parcels tonight, and Commissioner Lyons felt a node is a very limited area where in this case we are considering most of the county. Planner Shearer further noted that the Press Journal has been cooperative and done several articles to let people know this was going on. 6 M M -
