2 12/15/71 There was discussion with Mr Van Housen as to the advisability of changing the code es to square footage for R1 and R3 dwellings. He suggested Ri is too low with 800 sq. foot. As to Chomonix problem with their townhouses falling short of the footage, under R3 they are qualifying by adding 100 sq. foot. It was suggested we will have to define exactly what is living area, Mr. Van Housen stated the lower level of a split entry or -split level is considered living area if it is intended to be used. Mr. McLean moved to lay over future discussion and study of Ri until the first of July, 1972, at which time the state code is supposed to be issued. Seconded by Mr, Kelling. Carried unenim. Hearing on application by F. L. Tagg and Lorraine M. Tagg, for rezoning from residential to commercial- general and limited business property situated at the southeast intersection of Highways 49 and 35W. Mr. Tagg advised this is a 67 acre land locked parcel, and he is presently negotiating with the Methodist Church for a 5 acre tract exchange in order to give him an outlet. He plans the building of a motel and restaurant, with the further projection of a shopping complex. He said he has checked and he has been advised he can get a highway access permit. Mr. Van Housen suggested he talk to Mr. Gotwald about any sewer and water problems that there might be. Mr. Van Housen advised him that he had a completely inadequate submittal. He wouldn't be able to get zoning on this whole parcel without knowing exactly what is planned. Mr. Tagg said that he would like a sign up on the extreme east end of the property, ad- vertising the motel, and he can't put one up until it is zoned commercial according to the state code. It was advised he could spot zone for the sign if there is a surveyor's description. Mr, McLean moved to recommend that his hearing be laid over for one month, for the January meeting of P&Z, if Mr. Tagg can come up with all required information for the planner and village engineer, and that their recommendations and the time requirement be met.
