Planning and Zoning Commission March 19, 1980 Page Three IIIstating that no services are planned for that area. This is to be con- sidered as rural. The request for rezoning if for the full 60 acres - Mr. Schumacher felt that only the portion needed for the lab should be rezoned at this time. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Schumacher to prepare a letter of recommendation for the rezoning of a portion of this land. Mr. Kinsey questioned this and Mr. Schumacher's reasoning behind this recommendation. Mr. Schumacher explained that since only a very small portion of this land would be utilized for the lab purpose and he felt it is unnecessary to rezone the entire area. There was some discussion on this matter with Mr. Reinert saying this is a negotiable point and no decision can be made at this meeting. Mr. Heath asked if 10 acres would be a more acceptable parcel of land and Mr. Kinsey agreed. Mr. Kinsey said there is approximately 3000 square feet on the North end of the building that is acceptable for the purpose of a lab. This lab is for biological testing - it is not a chemical lab, although a certain amount of chemicals will be used. There will be some animals such as rats, minnows, some rabbits. The markets to be considered are medical devices for testing and to evaluate various products for industry and the effect of the chemicals in these products on the enviorment. 0Mr. Reinert asked what licensening is required and Mr. Kinsey said there is no certification for labs at this time. Mr. Mordant said he should inform the Board that the consideration of moving the entire operation to this area and is concerned with the limita- tions on the area to be rezoned. Mr. Reinert asked how many acres would he considered adequate? This operation is licensed with the Department of Agricultural for the shipping of guinea pigs. The existing facility is on a seven acre parcel and it is too small. Mr. Illg had requested permission to put a mobile home on a 5 acre parcel of land on Pine Street. Mr. Schumacher read that portion of the City Ordinance dealing with this. This ordinance prohibits a mobile home on any lands except within a mobile home park. Mr. Illg said that since this Ordinance was written, mobile homes have cahnged and he would like to see this ordinance rewritten. He felt this is necessary due to the high cost of housing. Mr. Reinert said this Board is bound by that Ordinance and any change would have to come from the Council. Mr. Reinert suggested sending a letter of request to the City and would be presented to the Planning and Zoning but Mr. Reinert felt that was no chance of this being approved. Mr. Schumacher told Mr. Illg that he could appear before the Council durin the open portion. Mr. Reinert felt this would come back before the P &Z •efore any actions could be taken anyway. Mr. Schumacher presented the Land and Oaks plat. some of the concerns; 1) part is zoned commercial, part is zoned industrial. Lot 1 has been widened and the same has been done on lot 3; 2) access to Lot 4 is pro- vided by Outlot A of 60' 3) the road requirements . 33' on Main st.
