Planning and Zoning Commission
Commissioner Robert Scherrer stated that it is not the responsibility of this
Board to make changes to the Comprehensive Plan. He added that if Council
wants to vary from the approved plan, that is within their realm to do so.
However, the Planning and Zoning Commission should comply with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Russ Selemon concurred.
Commissioner Todd locco stated that he has no doubt that the project would be
nice. He added that the property is already zoned R-2 and should remain as
such. He also stated that there was no mention of a traffic analysis for this
project. He explained that he would be concerned with the additional traffic that
the project would add to Hatfield Road.
Vice-Chairperson Donald Glenn stated that it is not good planning to change to a
more dense zoning classification because of the traffic and drainage issues.
Chairperson Charles Viktorin explained that based on the existing property that
the owner operates, he feels that this would be a high quality project. He
explained people should not be denied a place to live because it is not of higher
value. He added that some people expressed concern about the tax base of a
mobile home park, however, a normal home does not pay for itself either and a
better mix of zoning diversity would solve this problem.
Motion to deny passed 4 to 1 (Chairperson Charles Viktorin voting against).
