PETITIONS, REQUESTS A COMMUNICATIONS
The petitioner requested the rezoning of approximately 12 aches
located at the nfirthwest corner\of the interseciton of Highway
U 35 and County Road 9 from R4 tol,I4. The subject property would
be used by Bergerson-Caswell, Inc;, for an office building and
storage facilities and by the Klev,en Floor Covering Company for
an office and warehouse facility. The property is adjacent to
land presently zoned industrial, and the proposed Guide Plan in-
dicates industrial use for the land ,
The Council., discussed the Zoning Orcli nance regulation against
zoning parcels of less than 20 acres,to I-1. It was noteci1,that
to this particular case'it would probably be allowed because the
parcel is contiguous with land already zoned I-1. Councilman
Nei 1 s pointed out that a smaller part;el must adapt 'itself to the
existing platting of an adjacent larger parcel and stated he felt
in this instance this would not,be the case in that the smaller
parcel wound set the pattern for the larger parcel,

Item 6-A
The question was raised whether the,Council is prohibited by policy
from rezoning land ahead of development, It was agreed this is not
a prohibiting factoo in,that in some instances rezoning in advance
of development regulates -the land uses around it,
The Mayor pointed out that there were two o;• three items on the &?gends
whereinvolvingrezoninggordevelopmentinareasere sewer and water is
not presently available, and the Council discussed at length the in-
tent of their previous policy decision to prohibit lievelopnent in
areas Were utilities are not available. Councilmali Hunt stated he
d:1 rot feel this development was of such a magnitude to be deter-
mined a major development as far as utilities are concerned. If
this development was of such a nature that it would require the
Village to run serer and water out to it, he stated the would be
against it. He added he could not see any other use other than I-1
for this triangular piece of land,
Councilman Spaeth stated his concern was that while tt,is is not of
significant size it might promote further development in the area
and the Village might be forced to do something we do not waist to
do. Re stated he felt thore were other areas around Bounty Rodd 18
and 1494 that should be developed first; rather than going to the
western boundary of the Village, Mayor Hilde stated his main con-
cern is tieing drug i6to a premature sewer project by the PCA,

The Mayor polleO the Council on the application of the policy in this
instance. Councilman Neils stated that on the basis of a zoning issue
itself. he felt we should not rezone before adoption of the Guide Plan.
In terms of the sewer and water problem, he stated he was agginst re-
zorking without utilities being available because it is difficult to
know where to draw the line and the Village might find itself in a
position where we are unable to restrict further developments from.

to a project of this'size. Councilmao Spaeth agreed with Council%n
Hunt's statement but added his concern that we might be planting a
little seed that will grow on us.

proposed site plan for the development. He pointed out that both uses

The staff-ptesented11:0 the Council a proposed policy resolution LOAD LIMITS
establishing load limits on the Village streets and providing Item 74
for the issuance of permits by the Village Engineer to permit
overweight vehicles on certain streets, to facilitate the movement
of construction materials. Parties requesting these permits would
be required to post cash with the Village to cover any damage which
might be caused to Village streets because of these overweight
vehicles, There was discussion regarding the problems of deter-
mining which vehicles cause damage in view of the fact that school
buses and garbage trucks also use these streets. Attorney Lefler

the burden of proof upon the owner of the overweight vehicle rather
then upon the Village to prove that his vehi-le did not cause the
damage,
