<br />'- <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />Tilford Bailey indicated that there would be quite a lot of fill needed to <br /> <br />raise the proposed site above the 100 year storm for most general business uses and <br /> <br />this restricted in essence much of what could be placed in that classification even <br /> <br />though it may be rezoned general business. <br /> <br />Chairman Barry stated the Board had to limit its decision on how well the <br /> <br />proposed rezoning fits into the Master Plan and that specific problems were beyond <br /> <br />the Board's duty. The question is: is the best use the present Agricultural/Residential <br /> <br />classification or would it be a General Business classification. He did state he <br /> <br />was aware of the fact that a General Business classification would open the door to <br /> <br />any and all uses presently allowed in that classification. <br /> <br />Bill Abbott moved to recommend to the Town Board to rezone the petitioned <br /> <br />property from its present classification to General Business. The motion was seconded <br /> <br />by Steve Edwards and a vote taken. Attorney Ksenak was not clear on the outcome of <br /> <br />the vote and asked Chairman Barry to poll the members of the Board. Upon polling <br /> <br />said members, it was determined that the vote was 8 members in favor of the motion <br /> <br />and I against, therefore the motion carried by a majority. The Board then moved on <br /> <br />to the next item under new business, being the Harcourt management request to rezone <br /> <br />Indiana Street behind Citizens Bank, property known as the old Paul Taylor property. <br /> <br />Attorney Dave Lawson presented the case on behalf of petitioners. Mr. Lawson presented <br /> <br />Exhibit 1 which was a list of the adjoining land owners. Exhibit 2 was introduced <br /> <br />which was an aerial photograph of the petitioned land. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawson felt that the Board should be made aware of some of the preliminary <br /> <br />developments concerning the project even though some of what he had to say would not <br /> <br />be relevant to the Board's present consideration. He indicated that the plan had been <br /> <br />placed before the Economic Development Commission in an effort to get revenue bonds <br /> <br />for the financing of this project. The Board of Trustees also were not opposed to the <br /> <br />proposed financing. The preliminary plans were to construct approximately 12 buildings <br /> <br />of 192 units with the comtemplated construction to take approximately 2 years. The <br /> <br />-6- <br />
