Harvey Schiebe: appeared to request the rezoning of apprczimately
51 acres in Suction 35 from Residential to B-1 Limited Business
Distr ct. Na;for Staples received a petition signed by 42 home owners
within the 1/2 mile surrounding the area requested to be ro$oned
and reading EA follows:
The wuiersigned petitioners are homeowners with 1/2 miles from
Parcel No. 3200 of Section 35 which is being considered for :e -
zoning.
wis aru concerned that this rezoning may service as a preced,ent
for the present rnd/or future council to further expand bwsidess
and irtustrial use into and around residential areas thus de-
preM ing residential valaes and c eating hardships for homeowners.
We a 3k the protection of the council from the intrusion of
busiciess and industrial uses :in a residential areae
X
The request for rezoning fails to consider the following facts:
1. Industrial and business areas should be located with direct
access to main highways so that residential streets and
service roads are quiet and safe.
2. There is an elementary school with 1/3 of a mile of the land
being coneiderel for rezoning. Children and school. buses use
the service road from approximately 'j:00 - 8:30 a.in., and again
from abo t 2:4j - ;:30 ppm. This will conflict with business
traffic in the ariaa.
3. Industrial and business areas should, be located where expansion
can be aeeomplist.ed without enroaohing on rsamide+ntiaal develop-
ments.
Zoning land prior to determination ci' use violated good planning
principles.
Proposed land u3e of lal,nd in question is residential avid park,
according to the comprehensive 1wvi use plan proposed in 1965-
6* Comprehensive :.and vrie plan for the Village of Plymouti is to
be aadop ped in .a]rly November of 1961'.
Wer the underrigne-A, therefore request denial of rezoning of the
parcel in question."
Mr. Sahiebe preeentec aa. report from Nauon, Lary, Wehrmaan and Knight in

any specific use in mind. Tom Renner, representative from the

because they do not approve of spot zoning. Mr. Sohiebe was
asked by the Council if he would consider rezoniag only the 25
acres of his property on which Honeywell proposed to construct
their plant and informed that at such time as he had a specific
use for the remaini lana, 10 come in at that time to request
rezoning of that p .ty.
