May 7,
2007
Chairman Ed

Plan
Commission members attending were Joyce Buchman, Bob Cerrato, Mike Kunesh, Ed
Malechuk, Tim Oestreich, Ed Sedor, and Karen Sylvester.
Also
attending were Denise and Leonard Wiedemeier, Sue and Jim Tress, and Monica
Carter.
A motion
was made by Sylvester and seconded by Buchman to approve the agenda as
printed. The motion carried with all in
favor.
A motion
was made by Malechuk and seconded by Oestreich to approve the minutes of the April
9, 2007 meeting as printed. The motion
carried with all in favor.
There was no public input.
Presented was a request from
Denise and Leonard Wiedemeier to rezone parcel #024-1605.002 on County Road B
from A-2 Agricultural/Rural Residential District to A-1 Agricultural/Low
Density District.
The Wiedemeiers would like to
build a storage building that would be over 5,000 square feet which would not
be permitted at current zoning. The
building would be used to store racing equipment.
The attending neighbors were
concerned about allowing farm animals on the property. It was explained that farm animals would be
allowed whether it was zoned A-1 or A-2 because of the size of the parcel.
After hearing the neighbors concerns, members of
the Plan Commission felt that by approving the A-1 request they would be
allowing a vast number of permitted uses and permitted accessory
structures and uses to the Weidemieirs or subsequent owners; whereas the
A-2 zone is more in keeping with the properties being used for residential
purposes.
A motion was made by Sylvester
and seconded by Kunesh to deny the zone change request and to recommend to the
Board of Appeals to issue a variance to construct an accessory building over
2,000 square feet and to waive the Appeals fee.
The motion carried with all in favor with Buchman abstaining.
The next scheduled meeting is
set for June 4, 2007 at 6:30 p.m.
A motion was made by Sylvester
and seconded by Oestreich to adjourn the meeting at 7:25 p.m. The motion carried with all in favor.
Respectfully submitted,
Cindy Hagert
