C. dr . John Suback application for rezoning from I-2 Park to Com-
munity Commercial C-Com for the 2 . 2 acre site located on Lof 1 ,
Block 3 , Outlot C , envale Industrial Park.
t-;r. Putnan stated that the site is located at the corner of Mar-
tin Drive and iiitchell /Faker Road . This area is currently zoned
1 -2 Park . !`, restaurant type development at this location would
necessitate spot zoning voith a variance since the property is
less than five acres . Or . Putnam felt the restaurant concept
should be situated in relation to the Major Center Area in con-
junction with other comiercial uses .
Or. Peterson of Ec'en Land said that the property was sold to fir.
Suhact; with the idea that a restaurant would be allovlable under
the ordinance sinilar to those restaurants located in the Penta-
qon Industrial Part: area .

exterior treatment , parking , and road accessabi1ity.
Mr. Perbix reviewed his liter of January 17 , 1974 , in which he
explained that the industrial district is to be reserved for
primarily industrial uses . A restaurant could not be consider-
ed a related or supporting use . Mr. Perbix later explained
that a permitted use could be included in the ordinance ; how-
ever, it Mould then apply to all industrial zoning .
Mr. Suback said that during his dealings with the Staff over
the past year and a half , he was not made aware of the rezoning
requirement . He was informed that another area might be more
suitable for a restaurant rather than beside a warehouse.
That a liquor license operation would not be successful in a
community center location was revealed in their research said
Wr. Peterson . A use of this type requires good road visibility.
vir. NcCul l oc;i expressed concern about spot zoning with Mayor
Osterholt concurring . A precedent of this kind could present
problems in the future .
dayor Oster;iolt felt there were three choices open to the
Council :
a . Approve the rezoning request .
b. Deny the rezoning request.
c . Change the I -2 Park ordinance if this type of facility
was deemed desirable at this location.

PERA, social security , health and welfare benefits . This
list of both part-time and full -time employees should be ;
available for discussion at the (larch 12 meeting.
The mayor felt there were inequities in the compensation
plan and that adjustments--either up or down--should be made
/ to bring employees into equitable pay scales . }
Mr . Perbix was asked if this type of action was legal and he �
responded that employees represented by a bargaining unit
could not have t)ages modified . Other employees ' salaries ,
because of the. 1973 Public Employees Late, could be adjusted.
Council Neeting - 10- February 12, 1974
- VI . .F. 1 . Revie!! of Compensation Plan (Continued )
iianager Heinrich stated that all adjustments made between
1973 and 1974 had been discussed with staff members . The
Plan was discussed at oo r►c sessions as well as Council meet-
ings all of which were open to the public .
Mr . Penzel stated that during the past four years compensa-
tion levels have been established as follows :
1971 Compensation Plan ( excluding the manager) December 8 , 1970
1972 Compensation Plan ( excluding the manager) December 28 , 1971
1973 Compensation Plan ( excluding the manager) January 9 , 1973
(Action having been delayed from December 26 , 1973)
1974 Compensation Plan ( including the manager ' s compensation as
required by a previous written agreement between the
manager and council ) December 11 , 1974 5
It was Nr . Penzel ' s feeling that reconsidering the plan would
be extremely detrimental to the morale of the employees .
There was opportunity in 1973 for review of the plan and dis-
cussions at length held . He could not justify the reopening
of this consideration without a good cause. Uas the intent
to take action to change past actions or for information for
the Council or members of the audience of changes made.
fiayor Osterholt said reconsideration was justified where
employees felt compensation plays were not being handled in
an equitable manner. U hen complaints are registered there
are legitimate concerns about salary scales . Mayor Osterholt
stated that concern was expressed by a councilman that it was
futile to recommend changes at the time the plan was being
discussed .
It was F-sayor Csterholt ' s feeling that action should not be
taken at work sessions ; however , he did not know the feelings
of the other Council members .
That the new Council members should have the right to discuss
the reasoning behind the compensation plan was stated by Mr.
McCulloch .
Nrs . 11eyers said she was not in favor of reviewing salaries
with the option of adjusting but expressed a willingness to r
discuss the reasoning of the plan with the new Council mem-
bers .
Mr. Heinrich distributed a memo dated February 12 which he �
read stating his position on possible reopening of considera-
tion of the compensation plan . He felt such action would be ?
detrimental to the morale of the entire Village staff with }
serious consequences resulting . Nevi Council members had re- �
ceived agenda information packets after their election and
questions could have been raised in 1'ovember and December
prior to the plan ' s adoption .

loch to recommend that the 1974 Employee Compensation Plan
