APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Acting Chairman Murphy opened the Public Hearing at 7:31 P.M.
The Planner explained that a Notice of Public Hearing
and Affidavit of Publication were on file. Therefor
the Public Hearing was properly called. The Planner
summarized the issue.
Councilman Pike indicated he was speaking for Mr. Paule
Ehmcke one of the property owners in question. Mr.
Pike indicated that he felt the property was zoned
Industrial prior to the City Developed Industrial Park,
which made Mr. Ehmcke's property less desirable for
Industrial purposes, and that Mr. Ehmcke had been
unjustly prosecuted by the City. Councilman Dave
Legler told the Commission that he felt the City
should be flexible in considering the zoning require-
ments for the area in question. He stated that the
First Ward had developed to include a wide mix of
uses. He also stated that many people in the area did
not want a great deal of Industrial development along
Lake Isabelle. Mr. A1 Sieben stated that he felt
that if multiple family was being contemplated for
part of this area, and that it were to be rezoned
R-2, that this would be inconsistent with other
R-2 areas. He stated that the R-2 Zoning District
was of farce in his opinion.

Wayne Stevens gave the Committee Report, indicating
that the Committe felt further residential de-
velopment would impede the potential for further
Industrial development. He also questioned whether
the area had been mistakenly zoned Industrial in
the first place or whether significant changes had
occured, rendering the Industrial zoning inappropriate.
Commissioner Conzemius stated that he could forsee

problems of compatibility if protections were not
quaranteed to the industry in the area. The
essence of the Committee report was that their
feeling was that it is not good to spot zone.

issioner Bultman to recommend to the Council that
Mr. Ehmcke and Mr. Snyder's properties be re-
zoned to an R-2 Zoning Classification. 3 Ayes,
