*indicated that if the dentist were 30 years old he might not see this <br /> as such a gamble, but in light of the "waning work years" and no firm <br /> 3 commitment on his son's part to take over his practice, he could see no <br /> 4 convincing reason for voting for the change; <br /> 5 *said he had not been convinced that the insurance company was <br /> 6 pressuring for the change and instead felt this involved only a "purely <br /> 7 economic motivation" on the dentist's part. <br /> 8 Madden <br /> 9 *didn't agree there could be any drastic change in type of business <br /> 10 for that location because the Ordinance specifically stated the kinds <br /> 11 of businesses which could operate from that location and he perceived <br /> 12 them all to be "non retail" businesses which would not operate late in <br /> 13 the evenings or early in the mornings; <br /> 14 *said the Ordinance guarded against the character of the business <br /> 15 changing; <br /> 16 *reminded the Commissioners that the Comprehensive Plan, which is a <br /> 17 document into which a lot of thought and study had gone, designated that <br /> 18 location as "B" ; <br /> 19 *commented that he considered it "a strategic blunder" on Dr. <br /> 20 Osterbauer's part not to get the 30 residents who agreed with his <br /> 4Aproposal to sign a petition leaving the Commission to hear from only two <br /> neighbors who opposed it and whose arguments "seem to be carrying a <br /> 23 great deal of weight" with the other Commissioners. <br /> 24 Wagner <br /> 25 *agreed, saying he also thought there had been too much weight placed <br /> 26 on the possibility of another tornado demolishing that area and <br /> 27 perceived that the Ordinance pretty much restricted the type of <br /> 28 business which could go in after Dr. Osterbauer leaves; <br /> 29 *thought most of the types of business which the Ordinance allows with <br /> 30 the "B" zoning would most likely want to construct the same type of <br /> 31 building as a business incentive; <br /> 32 *pointed out that the City control signage anyway.. <br /> 33 Franzese <br /> 34 *took exception to Commissioner Madden's characterization of the other <br /> 35 Commissioner's acceptance of only the views of the neighbors who came <br /> 36 to the hearing and not considering the approval of the many who weren't <br /> 37 at the meeting; <br /> • 7 <br />
