APPROVAL OF MINUTES The Planner noted that on file were a Notice of Public Hearing, Certificate of Mailing, and Affidavit of Public Hearing. Thus the Public Hearing was properly called. The Planner reviewed the Proposal with the Commissioners and the audience. Chairman Wendler opened the Public Hearing at 7:31 P.M. Ann Peterson, a resident in the area, presented the Commission with a letter stating her opposition to the proposal. Her concerns were that there would be a safety hazard with two driveways onto River Street, which is a busy street, that the house would be inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood, and that the variances were not justified. Mrs. Reissner, another resident in the area who had previously owned the property stated that she felt that only single family dwellings should be permitted. Mr. Tony Blatnik also stated that there would be traffic hazards with the proposal and that the home would not be compatible with the rest of the neighborhood. Mr. Thomas Trutna also said he felt the structure would not be compatible, and that the variances were not appropriate. Mr. Chris Horsch stated that he did not feel duplexes should be allowed in the area. The Mayor stated that the Commission members should take a close look at the area, and that the Commission did not have to approve the proposal. One of the neighbors presented the Commission with a petition with 17 signatures opposing the proposed two family dwelling.
