COMMUNICATIONS AND MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW
Patterson favors holding another public hearing regarding the rezoning of the parcel
proposed to be developed by Jewel/Osco. Pionek agrees because at the previous
hearing nothing was mentioned about a Jewel/Osco. He has received numerous calls;
people want a public hearing. Patterson stated that it will also provide input about
other commercial development in the area. Chiaverotti noted that the Council must
stick to the issue of zoning. The Mayor stated that a public hearing regarding the
rezoning petition was held a year and a half ago which meets state statute
requirements. An informational hearing could be held. Salentine objected to holding
another hearing. Pionek asked Mr. Turk what amount of commercial development at
that site was outlined in the City’s Master Plan. Mr. Turk responded originally five to six
acres with the Plan Commission amending the Plan to include 18 acres for commercial
and multifamily use. Pionek stated that the business area is being spread out too
much. The Mayor responded that the City does promote its downtown area but people
cannot be forced to locate there. Chiaverotti asked what has changed to constitute
another hearing. Patterson said people are more concerned about potential
development. Sanders stated that the intersection of Janesville and Moorland will be
the hub of business activity; there is no way around that. Salentine stated that the
community wants a department store. Businesses are not willing to locate here
because the City makes it too difficult. Sanders agreed. Chiaverotti stated that the
Council passed a resolution of intent regarding the rezoning and another hearing is not
appropriate. Salentine concurred. The City Atty. stated the petitioner must be treated
fairly throughout the process. Salentine noted that the development continues to move
through the City’s approval process. Chiaverotti requested the minutes of the original
public hearing for the Council to review. She requested that the reason to hold another
public hearing be stated. Patterson stated to further discuss plan to change the zoning
to determine if it is still appropriate. Chiaverotti stated the Council will have that
opportunity at a later date. Patterson moved to have a resolution placed on the next
Council agenda regarding another public hearing being held. Pionek seconded.
Sanders asked why and Patterson stated to obtain the input of the citizens. Motion
failed with Slocomb, Chiaverotti, Le Doux, Salentine, and Sanders voting “no,” and
Patterson and Pionek voting “yes.”
Mr. Turk was dismissed at 8:56 p.m.
