The affidavit af publication xas ordered fiied. I�r. Deluechits letters arere noted xherein he stated that he would not oppose the C-N zoning in Friendl,� Acres if it �rould provide for at least one building larger than 5000 aq. ft. in the area to be used as a Super Mark- � o �� et� as such a market wauld be the main attraction to the Shopping Center. Henry Ellers� 1520 Chesterton� spoke in favor af allaring a piece of property i.n the C-W districts to remain at 20�000 square Peet. Chester Lebsach spoke in favor of adopting the zoning ordinance and putting into efect R-3-G zoning. Councilman �eiss read the follororing prepared statementz Just as the land use plan is of vital importance to theaomaminity� so the zo�aing ordinance is a vital question. The proposed amendments cover sorae pertinent points and I am somexhat c�ncerned abaut the pravisions o�f some the changes proposed. lccordingly I offer the follairing co�nts for the consideratian of the Couneil: ' Re par. 1� pages 1 & 2 - A nsw paragraph numbered 15.1 (d) is proposed to be added regulating aet baeks under certain conditions. It appears that these provisions Rauld app]y general].y whare not set back lines ha�e b een established� especially in h3.11y axeas. A+�r thinking is that �ith more and more f oothill daveZopments� we pes- sibly will be faced Ra.th �nstances where garages will Mave to be built right on front lot Iines because of the terrain. It therefor appears to me that ttie import o�' these reg�lations should be stated more clsarly so �o ambiguity will exist• fte par �.� pages 3� 1� �C 5 - Esta.blishment of R-3-G zoni.ng. Since regulations established by this section �rould also be sub�ect to the p�rovisions of section 15 of the ordinance� it is self evident �,hat height limitations ', set �'orth in sub par. (d) mnst be more explici�ly stated by pravidirig in clear language that the height li.mi.t- � ation o.f 35 feet can not be increased�by issuance of a variance under secticn � of the ordinance. Also sub " sec. (h) gav�rning Architectural Supervision is somewhat ambiguous•and could be interpreted to mean that appro- °° val is manda.tory once the p�a�n.s are submi.tted for such appraval. It appears thatit is essentiai that some sort ""'�' of standards vrhich must be met such as character of design� e tc. is in canfar�mity with the general atmosphere of the neighborhood should be specified. �e par. 5� pages 5� 6 & 7. - Sub sec. (h) 2 would permit serv:ice stations in the newly established C-N zoness. Personal7,y I believe they are objectional�le in such areas and not necessarily essential in purely neighbor- r.00d shopping areas� and should be eliminated from this section. As f or heigh limitations porvided by sub sec. (c)� r�y remarks on simil.ar provisions in R-3-G areas are equally applicable in this case and the same actic� is reco�ended. In sub see. (e) 1 - the �rords "partiallyn should be struck end the �rorc3s "$d�jacent tow substituted. Sub sec. (g) cavers Architectural Control. �y remarks on the same subject previously made in connection with ft-3-G zoning are here applicable equally. Par. 10� page 11 - Sec. 20.l� whieh deals with sariances. To me this is a very import,ant funetion and con- siderable authority is being delegated� it is therefor �y feeling that we must be careful to praperly pro- tect the interests of all the people and avoid arrogating eactreme poqrers to the Baard of Ad3ustments in the exercise of the ri.ght to impose conditione in the granting oF variances. I therefc�r offer the f ollc�ing: . After the words «general xelfaren ther� shauld be inserted the words - "pravided that no conditions requir- ing the dedication of ar�r la,nds or other property without proper coanpensation shall be imposed." I offer said proposal in all sincereity and I eall the attention of all concerned to the fact that the Constitution of the United States specifically provides" � nor be deprived of life, liberty� or property� �without c1�e ° process of lawi nor shall private property be taken for public use� �ri.thaut 3ust compensation." I feel strongly on this questiari� I do not wish to be a party-to doin� an a.n�ustice to the least of the people� and I further feel that it is incumbent upon us to affirm and abide by the law of the land. ;,,,� Re par. 11 - pages 11 & 12 - In sec. 20.5� after th� word nActiann - line 9 - there shauld be added the xords ,� "together wa.th a11 pertinent documents bearing �n the subject.� < , In vie�r of the foregoing I can only urge that the entire matter be taken under advisement xith a view to an early study meeting to formulate aur final conclusions bef ore a final draft is ordered. � proper - Move close pub lic hearing. _ After close public hearing - Mo�e taking un.der advisement� etc. as abrn►e indicated. � Cazncilman Herlrner moved that the public hearing be continued to September 34'�'rh� stuc� meeting to be held°to � take up the matters bro�ught up toni.ght� seconded by Councilman Herkner and carried.
