IV. BUSINESS
A. Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance - Article XIII, Section 4.1-1
Ch. Heinrich read the Public Hearing Notice.
Mr. Truesdell presented a Plat showing the Town Center and explained the
need for an Amendment to allow variation of the buffer and set back require-
ments. Ken Tucker and Associates, potential developers of the Center have
not been able to acquire all of the property involved and cannot meet the
set back requirement. Mr. Truesdell proposed the addition of sub-section (g) .
Also, there is a minor change needed in sub-section (c) . The Ordinance reads
M-1 District and should be I - Industrial District.
Mr. Truesdell explained the need for the second part of sub-section (g) was to
allow more than one developer to build at the Town Center.
There being no one present at the Public Hearing to ask questions, Ch. Heinrich
closed the Public Hearing. He opened up questions from the ZBA.
Com. Kearns asked if B-,5 refers ONLY to the Town Center? The answer is "Yes.'
Com. Kearns tilso noted that the other sub-sections 'a to ft have a controlling
factor with regard to variation. Sub-section 'g' as proposed has not been given
any factor to use as guidance in the future.
Ch. Heinrich explained that the Village would like to be flexible, so that if a
developer should come in with a proposal that is very attractive and there are
limitations as to percentage, it would be difficult to proceed. Every case
will be open to discussion.
The proposed amendment will broaden: the procedure that will be followed by the
ZBA ; After a Public Hearing and discussion before the ZBA, a recommendation
will be made to the Village Board as per Article XIII, which deals with varier.
tions to the Zoning Ordinance. The Village Board then grants the variation.
