COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 27, 1989 unanimously. Mr. Bisel asked what alternatives did Mr. Laska have if the rezone was denied. Mr. Miller said Mr. Kluegel will notify Mr. Laska that he will have to move his equipment. However if this matter is r 'eferred to the EDC no action will be taken until it is resolved. Mr. Bisel asked if Mr. Laska could request a Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Miller said no. Mr. Bisel asked what the implication is for Mr. Laska if this matter is referred to EDC. Mr. Miller explained that Mr. Laska needs to be located in an industrial zone to comply with zoning regulations and he did not see that this area would be rezoned to industrial. Tim Rehbein noted that Columbus Township has commercial zoning near Mr. Laska and asked if this would have any bearing on Mr. Laska's request. This is a matter that the EDC and P & Z Board will deal with. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Mayor Benson explained that he does sympathize with the applicant, however the findings for denial are very valid. He said it was unfortunate that Mr. Laska did not check the zoning before he purchased the property. Mr. Neal moved to accept Option No. 2 from the "green sheet" and refer the matter to the EDC and the P & Z Board to restudy the area. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - WOODRIDGE ESTATES II, PRELIMINARY PLAT Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:37 P.M. Mr. Miller explained that this plat is for six lots immediately adjoining the west edge of Woodridge Estates I. The street servicing Woodridge Estates would be extended to the west to service these lots. Mr. Miller noted that a second portion of this request is for a variance for lot frontages on Lots 1 - 9, Block 1, Woodridge Estates I. He explained that the reason for the variance is that when the surveyor went out and actually surveyed the property there was less footage that originally thought. The lots could be made to conform to the zoning code but that would mean the north /south road planned to connect to Laurene Avenue would have to be moved to the east. This would cause a hardship on the landowner to the north of Woodridge Estates I. The road would not be located to serve his property. The variance if granted would mean that each lot indicated above would be undersized by two and eight tenths feet. The P & Z Board has recommended the approval of - this request.
