Public I,?earl The Manager reviewed the request for a change in zoning from Rural to I-2 Perk on-a four acre parcel situated between DeVair Heating and the Harold Schaitberger residence. He reported that the Planning CammIssion had recommended that the westerly two acres be zoned as requested but that the remainder of the parcel be retained in the Rural classificatlon. The Commission' s recommendation is contained in their October 5, 1971 minutes and was based on a staff recommendation document of that same date. The Council reviewed a site development plan submitted by the applicant which indicated the immediate development of a 12,800 square foot officewindustrial building on the west i of the parcel. Mr. George Johnstone represented the applicant at the Hearing. Mr. Redpath noted that the Council had rejected a similar request in 100 and asked arhat changes had occured to justify the approval of any or all of the request. The Manager noted that subsequent to the last request the Village had acted upon the Waste Management PUD concept plan for lands to the southwest of the applicams property and had, in the process of revievAnq that proposal, partially resolved the un-- certainity regarding the probable relocation of Flying Cloud Drive. This fact coupled with a determination that the industrial +use of the west +� of the site would gene.-ally conform to nearby exfstbV land uses and would accomodate the immediate development interests of the applicant without seriously interferinq with either the Village's or the M.A.C.'a planning in the vicinity of the airport, prompted the Commission's recommendation. Mr. Harold 9chaltberger,as a neighbor, indicated th.rt he would be concerned about the use of the property for noisy or nuisance type industrial development but that the specific use proposed did not appear to be objectionable. Mr. Nesbitt moved that the Attorney and Manager be directed to prepare for Council consideration a resolution and ordinance that would have the effect of rezoning the westerly I of the parcel to I-2 Park and { denying the request for similar zoning on the easterly two acres. The Resolution is to incorporate the reasons for such action. Mr. Haugen seconded. Motion carried unanimou sly. Council Minutes November 23, 1971 IL Page 3 D.
