Members present: Hub Klein, Tom Nahan, Ben Kremer, Phil Durkee,
S. Kathleen Kalinowski.
Others present: Rachel Stapleton (city clerk), Ross Rieke (council
laison), Louis Waltz, A.J. Schindle, Idelia Loso,
Rose Mayer.
Ben called a public hearing to order to consider a petition
presented by Louis Waltz on behalf of Mike Scherer of Scherer
Trucking. The petition requested rezoning of a parcel of property
adjacent to the Trucking Company property from R-1 to Industrial in
order to allow reconstruction of a truck garage and maintenance
building. Among the difficulties in rezoning for the intended use,
it was pointed out that a 60-ft buffer between Industrial zone
buildings and a residential zone is required. Also, the City
Comprehensive Plan indicates that Industrial expansion should take
place north of Co. 75. Phil moved to recommmnd to the Council
denial of the petition for rezoning, recognizing that other options
for expansion exist with the current industrially-zoned property
owned by Scherer. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
The hearing was closed-.
Ben called to order another public hearing to hear a request for a
special use permit submitted by Mark Zimmer. Mark asked for a
special ,use permit to allow a house previously used for business
offices .and located adjacent to the La Playette at 20 College Ave.
N. to be used for rental residential purposes. By changing the site
of the present La Playette dumpster, parking for residents could
be provided. The parking shortage around La Playette would not be
alleviated however. S. Kathleen moved to recommend to the City
Council approval of the special use permit. The motion was second-
ed and passed unanimously. The hearing was adjorned.
Respectfully submitted,
