Mayor Rustad stated that rather than close he was considering continuing the
hearing for two weeks.
D. Bayerkohler, asked any more facts by petitioners? He also inquired about
the lingering illness of the other councilman. Wanted to know if it would
interfere with the two week recess.
Mr. Krawczyk stated that even if a professional came in to speak for us we
could not say any more than we've already said.
D. Bayerkohler wanted to know if they could have a preliminary vote on the
rezoning?
Another resident wanted to know how many times he would be dragged out of his
home? Mayor Rustad stated that all Council meetings were important and he hated
to see that residents feel they they were being dragged out of their homes and
that they should come willingly to more of the Council meetings, we always have
the chairs and the space available.
Mayor Rustad recessed the meeting for order. Mr. Robertus was making repeated
outbursts. Mayor Rustad stated that if there were any more outbreaks he would
recess the meeting automatically for two weeks.
Richard Barrett stated that he felt the hog farm comparison was ridiculous.
Councilman Neisen stated that he had first of all received his booklet not two
days ago but only last night. Second he questioned the adviseability of directing
180 apartment units traffic onto County Road H2 or Ridge Lane from Parcel #A and #E.
Mr. Copeland stated that the solution would be either to vacate or to make Ridge
Lane a one way street. Councilman Neisen also questioned the square footage
requirement. Mr. Copeland stated that they did comply with the ordinance.
Mr. Walberg wanted a vote taken at the present time. Councilman Blanchard
stated that it would make a very rough position for Councilman Malvin if
there was a 3 to 1 vote for the rezoning.
Mayor Rustad closed the hearing at 10:50 P.M.
Councilman Neisen stated that he felt there should be a buffer zone on the
north end of the lake, it should have an R2 zoning or a buffer. Councilman
Hodges questioned tax base versus over crowding and in his opinion under the
circumstances he would vote against it. Councilman Neisen stated that there
should be a consideration for the home owners property values. That the present
R2 buffer and Parcel #G was constructed very nicely on the proposal. Mayor
Rustad stated that it would take four members to approve the rezoning.
MSP (Neisen /Hodges) To deny the rezoning request of all three parcels due to
the density that will effect the health, safety and welfare of all citizens on
all three parcels. Neisen -Aye, Hodges -Aye, Blanchard -Naye, Rustad -Aye
Mr. Copeland requested a separate vote since there were three parcels. His
request was denied by Mayor Rustad since the hearing was closed and the vote
had already been taken.
Councilman Blanchard stated that he could find only two statements by the
objectors that could be construed as pertaining to the health, safety, and
welfare of the community, and he felt the proposal would be an advantage to
the village. He further stated that he thought the Council had made a mistake
in this matter.
Mayor Rustad requested the audience to stay until the meeting was completed.
