Steven Litz, representing Donald Fischer, DDS, had a request for a rezone of 118 North Indiana Street from R-I/B-2 to B- 1. Mr. Fischer needs more parking for his dental practice. Attorney Currens told Mr. Litz zonings were not split, so probably there was a variance at some point and time. Mr. Fischer wants to use the back third of the property for parking and is leaving the house for now. He could not rent to residents but could to a business within the B-1 zoning. A motion was made by Commissioner Bryant with a second from Commissioner Bruner to give a favorable recommendation to the Town Council to approve the rezone. Motion carried 6-2 with Commissioners Corbin and McGuire opposed. This will be heard at the September 7,2004 Town Council meeting. Next, Ross Holloway explained that the Grace Missionary Church located on Highway 67 and Allison Road needed to expand and had entered into a transaction with Yeager Sugarwood LLC. The church has six acres now and will build on the twenty-four acres across Allison Road. The property the church is currently on is zoned agriculture and requests a B-3 zoning. They were also requesting the twenty-four acres be rezoned to B- I. Commissioner McGuire asked what was going on in the B-3 zoning. Mr. Holloway said the owners do not mind a restriction for a dance club. He also said that probably Town Center Road would someday go thru the Jones property to connect with this property. Mr. Bohanoon, 135 Duncan Court, told the commission he thought a church was the best use for the twenty-four acres. Mike Griffith, 13616 North Duncan Drive commented his property backs up to the proposed church property and his only question was the twenty- foot utility easement. Mr. Holloway said part of Sugarwood Subdivision couldn't control what a utility would want to do. A motion was made by Commissioner McGuire with a second by Commissioner Williamson to give a favorable recommendation the Town Council to rezone the current church property of six acres from Agriculture to B-3. Motion carried 8-0. This will be on the agenda for the Town Council on September 7, 2004. Commissioner McGuire asked what the reason was for a B-1 zoning on the twenty-four acres because a church was also permitted in Agriculture. Mr. Holloway answered and a church is permissible in B-1 and by special exception on agriculture. A motion was made by Commissioner McGuire with a second by Commissioner Bruner to recommend to the Town Council to ,,:/?prove the rezone. Motion carried 8-0. This will also be on the agenda for Sept. 7 Town Council meeting. Ross Holloway presented the revision of the plat to make one lot for Willis & Karen Yeager and Sugarwood LLC. They wish to split lot 3 and create lot 4 consisting of 18.5 acres south of Silon Creek. Lot 3 had contained approximately thirty-six acres. Now Lot 3 would contain approximately 18 acres. Lot 3 access would be from the existing egresslingress Weliever Chevrole~es which is seventy foot wide. Mr. Holloway said they do have to add a couple of thirigs to the plat, a building line and right of way line. They will be trying to preserve for the Town some sort of drainage easement along Silon Creek. Attorney Currens asked if they would be building over the new line. Mr. Holloway answered yes, two issues have to be resolved, one issue is two different owners
