Paul Pesek. ffem- <br />bers Brad Van Nest, Gregg Hannah, Diane Dunlap, Gloria McDonald, <br />John P. Hake and Zoning Administrator, Hank MUhich. <br />Qiairman Pesek announced that this was the time and place <br />for a Piiblic Hearing on the petition of A. T. csco for the <br />vacation of Hill Street. The Notice of Public Hearing and <br />Affadavit of Publication were presented. The Zoning Admini­ <br />strator plained that the Council had previously denied the <br />same petition due to Hill Street being the only access to <br />vacant property to the East of the Esco property and if va­ <br />cated it would result in land locking those properties. <br />Jerry Snyder, attorney representing the applicant, requested <br />the Comnission to review the survey showing that the garage <br />and a portion of the existing house, including the well, pro­ <br />trudes into Hill Street. The attorney stated that the only <br />way the Esco's could obtain marketable title for their pro­ <br />perty was by vacation of that portion of the street where the <br />house is located. It was noted that Lots 7 and 18, the East­ <br />erly properties, had not yet been developed and so access <br />problems still existed for these tracts. Van Nest noted that <br />tremendous ravines existed on these lands making it impract­ <br />ical to build an access except thru Hill Street. Mr. Snyder <br />explained that the Esco's had retreated in their request for <br />a complete vacation but were only asking for 3.8 ft. so that <br />the house will be completely on Esco owned property. Me ex­ <br />plained that this was an existing situation when the Esco's <br />purchased the property and they were presently in a law suit <br />with the former owner concerning the issue. After all the <br />piiblic present were afforded opportunity to be heard, the <br />hearing was closed. <br />Chairman Pesek called to order the Public Hearing on the re­ <br />zoning application of the Kelly Avenue Holding Company. The <br />Zoning Administrator presented the Notice of Public Hearing, <br />Affadavit of Pii)iication and proceeded to explain that the <br />purpose of the application was to rezone to residential a 20 <br />ft. conmercially zoned strip which is presently located in a <br />parcel residentially zoned. Daniel T. Lindsay, representing <br />the Kelly Avenue Holding Company, explained that they wished <br />downgrading of the commercial area to residential ^ part of <br />a Planned Residential Development and felt that this could be <br />an important factor in the upcoming subdivision. The Zoning <br />Administrator expressed his feelings that this would be bene- <br />fical due to the topography of the land, consisting of hills <br />and ravines, requiring filling and grading in order to be <br />utilized for commercial purposes. Commercial use would re­ <br />sult in additional hardcover and the problems of stoim water <br />runoff and pollution of the lake and ground water. He noted <br />that the re zoning would create a more natural line between <br />zoning districts. The Ccmmission inquired concerning wetlands <br />and were told that there were some, but less than was orgin- <br />ally thought. The petitioner stated that more facti:al data <br />would be forthcoming. After all the public were heard, the <br />hearing was closed, <br />PUBLIC HEARING - 7:33 P.M. <br />A. T.
