(2) 411 A 9:00 p.m. the public hearing for Acton. Construction Company was continued from the September meeting. Mr. Paul Miller again asked for blanket rezoning of his property on 35E and Cedar Street. He stated that he 4as unable to ob- tain buyers for the property unless it was zoned commercial. Mr. Miller introduced his professional planner who stated that the most logical use for the property was light industry, and that`if someone wants to build something they want to build it tomorrow" and did not want to wait for rezoning prodedures. The Planner recommended that the property be rezoned to commercial so Mr. Miller could seek out clients that are interested in his land. Many of the Board members explained to IvMr. Miller and the planner that they did not approve of blanket zoning because then the Board and the Council lose control over the type of industry that can be put on a certain parcel of land. Mr. Karth thought that Acton would be forcing adjoining property owners to go into commercial zoning unless they avould pitt in some type of buffer zone around their property. Ur. Stanley stated that although Mr. Miller's intentions are very good he could sell property to a buyer who in turn would sell it for something undesireable. Ivir. McLean emphasized that we must have something more specific es to plans and specifications in order to recommend rezoning to the Council. He suggested that the matter be discussed with the Village Planner before any decision .is made. Mr. )Miller and his planner also thought this was a very good idea and were confident that something could be worked out with Mr. Van Housen. Mr. Jester moved to continue the public hearing for Acton Construction Company until December 17, unless notified otherwise, so that both Mr. Miller and Mr. McLean would have time to confer with Mr. VanHousen, to determine necessary specifications of these plats. The Attorney All take care of the legal specifications. The Board recommends that the Council also continue their scheduled public hearing. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. A representative from Meyers Outdoor Advertising and Mr. Dick Paisley from 3M Company came forward to offer further revisions in the proposed Sign Ordinance The Board added some of these requests to the submitted amended ordinance. The Public Hearing for NJ Saddle Club was opened at 10:12 p.m. without a' representative present from the Club. All of the legal requirements had been met and the affidavits filed with the Clerk. The request was to consider the petition of Northwest Saddle Club, Inc. for a Special Use Permit to park, maintain, and occupy as a residence for a caretaker for said Northwest Saddle Club a mobile home according to law on the property owned by NW Saddle Club on Birch Street. According to hearsay the NJ Saddle Club property has been vandalized several times and they feel by having a caretaker live in a mobile home 24 hours a day this situation would be alleviated. The Board felt that to grant this permit would be inconsistent with, precedent of the Board in that they have only granted special use permits for hardship cases in the past. Granting this one permit would establish a precedent for exactly the type of trailer situation the Village is trying to avoid.
