- PERSONAL APPEARANCES Mr. Dave Fodroczi with the State Farmland Preservation Program explained Agricultural Transition Districts
to the Plan Commission for possible consideration. Transition
municipalities or urbanized areas where such lands are
areas could be lands located adjacent to incorporated
predominantly in agricultural or related open space use but where
conversion to nonagricultural use is expected in the near
future. The permitted uses and special exemptions would be the
same as exclusive agriculture zoning such as exemption from
special assessment for sewer and water. Upon rezoning of the
transition district the assessment would be levied for
area assessments could not be levied. Mayor Salentine stated
improvements made at the current rate, but while in a transition
of the Comprehensive Plan lands currently not in the EA district
that with the amended sewer service areas and possible updating
may fit in the transition category. Mr. DeBack clarified that
assessment for improvements of lands in the EA district was not
actually forgiven just never levied. Lands in this category
would be reviewed a minimum of every five years, or upon
extension of public services such as sewer and water, necessary
to serve urban development.

then be sent to Dr. Mangiamele with recommendations.

referred to City Attorney Molter's letter with regard to the
circumstances mentioned as the area being predominantly
undeveloped, the building being located on 26 acres in an area
that cannot be developed in the foreseeable future. Mr.
Constantineau wanted to know what this area was zoned. Zoning
Officer Lee stated it was zoned R-1. Mr. Constantineau stated
Mr. Yaeger could petition for agricultural zoning. Alderman
Dumke spoke and stated he knew Mr. Yaeger and that Mr. Yaeger had
bought the acreage to build a home on. After the purchase he
found out the land would not perc and felt that a hardship case
had been established. He asked the Plan Commission to reconsider
their decision. Mr. Yaeger spoke and said that he indeed had
purchased the land to build three homes on. After he found out

Mr. Yaeger on the size and gross weight of his vehicles. Mr.
Yaeger stated that empty the trucks weighed approximately 20,000
pounds and loaded approximately 60,000 pounds. He also stated he
farmed approximately 16 acres of this land and this barn held
the sight and that there are approximately 19 homes from Highway
24 to Mr. Yaeger's gate and three neighbor's homes within 675'
from the barn. The trucks pass through this predominantly
residential area with a 10,000 pound road limit on the road as

five years ago for the construction of a barn. The barn was used
for parking vehicles/farm equipment. The Yeagers' are not
running a busines--no customers come in or out of the building.
Trucks are allowed to go to a destination for work and pass over
a road. He urged the Plan Commission to concentrate on the
planning function of this request-to park trucks in a
predominantly undeveloped area as stated in the ordinance. Mr.
Hulbert stated he believed Mr. Yaeger knew beforehand that the
area he purchased was not buildable and went ahead and
constructed a barn with the idea of running a business from the
building. He thought Mr. Yaeger should rezone the area to allow
parking the trucks. Dr. Parthum agreed and felt that the request
was misrepresented to the City. Mayor Salentine stated it would
not make good sense to rezone. The area in question will not see
sewers in this area for a long time-the area will remain
undeveloped. The issue is should trucks be allowed to park in
this undeveloped area-not to look back five years ago at what was
done then. Alderman DeAngelis had the Recording Secretary read a

action was taken. Jeff Yaeger spoke and stated he parks the
contractors and leases his truck/services working in the
trucks at the site and then goes home. He works for other
suburbs. Attorney Lentz spoke and stated he took offense with
Mr. Hulbert's insinuation concerning Mr. Yaeger. The facts were
that the City issued a building permit for a barn. The
petitioner is asking approval of an existing use which is the
function of the Plan Commission to act on. Attorney Lentz
questioned the procedure of the police report and how it got into
the file. Zoning Officer Lee stated that in order to park trucks
barn to a farm is an accessory use. Dr. Parthum stated the Plan
in a residential area Plan Commission approval is required. A
municipal code and act accordingly. He apologized for any
Commission is required to follow guidelines established by the
assumption taken regarding Mr. Yaeger's purpose in constructing
the barn. He stated the barn was located in a well traveled
residential area. Alderman Dumke stated there would be several
changes coming before Rules, Laws and Ordinance regarding the
parking of trucks such as the possible allowing of one pick up
truck per registered driver, one commercial vehicle over 10,000
pounds and the extension of boat lengths to 45 feet in length

for one year is approved to allow the Plan Commission time to
roll call vote the motion to amend carried with Mr. Hulbert and
Alderman DeAngelis casting dissenting votes. Mr. Raimann stated
he voted as to what the ordinance called for-the parking of
trucks in a predominantly undeveloped area. Dr. Parthum stated
he voted for the amendment because a one year approval was more
appropriate than a three year approval. Mr. Constantineau stated
he felt the Yeager's were still running a business. Upon a roll
call vote the motion to adopt Resolution 136-87 (As Amended) was
defeated by a vote of 4 to 3 with Mr. Hulbert, Mr. Constantineau,
Dr. Parthum and Alderman DeAngelis casting dissenting votes.
Attorney Lentz stated City Attorney Molter had requested specific
reasons for denial. Mr. Constantineau stated his reasons were
ordinance states the Plan Commission may not must permit
that he felt a business was being operated out of the premises;
additional parking of trucks and equipment in any other district ... (Section 17.6.04 I. (c); parking of trucks for agricultural
use as an accessory use -not for commercial use. Dr. Parthum
stated his reasons for denial were the possible running of a
business in a residential area and a violation of current weight
restrictions on roadway. He read the general purpose of the
ordinance is to promote health, safety .... throughout the City.
Alderman DeAngelis' reason was that this area is predominantly 0 residential. Mr. Hulbert's reasons were that a barn should be
used as a barn; that Mr. Yeager did not apply for a hardship use

to the east spoke and said that all drainage on the south side of
the house came into his yard. The addition of a cement driveway
would cause more drainage into his yard. He had no objection to
slope the driveway on the east side so the water ran into the the garage only the placing of it. Mr. Hilbert stated he would

Dr. Parthum felt it would not be prudent to eliminate the
sidewalk space in the front of the store. He felt 4' for storage
and 4' for sidewalk would be better. Mr. Hulbert stated snow

resolution to add, "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the temporary

The Mayor noted that at the public hearing objection had been
raised regarding deed restrictions stating that single family
dwellings only were permitted in this subdivision. Zoning
Officer Lee stated that the city could not enforce subdivision
deed restrictions. Mr. Dillard stated that neighbors would
probably seek legal action with regard to this matter. Mr. Jim
Vollmer, legal representative for the Braam's stated Adrian
Heights was created by certified survey map and not subdivision
standards. A final plat was never submitted and all deed
restrictions would apply to a recorded subdivision. This
property was not bought as a lot and block of a subdivision but
as a certified survey map and therefore a title company would not
