This resolution was read by title only. Commissioner Stinebaugh made a motion to approve. Commissioner Schaumberg seconded. Petitioner proposing a rezoning from RSE, Suburban Estate District and R-2, Country Home District to RS-2 Suburban Residence District and a 2010 Comprehensive Plan amendment from low-density residential to medium-density to allow for a future subdivision with twenty-six parcels. A public hearing was held for the rezoning on October 11, 2005. The petitioner spoke at the hearing along with one resident who expressed interest in having the same type of rezoning open for his property someday. Staff has provided two resolutions, one for approval of rezoning as submitted and one for denial of rezoning as submitted. Approval would warrant a high density development in this area and surrounding areas in the future. Reasons for denial are: (1) non-compliance with the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. (2) Current zoning meets intent of future Comprehensive Plan. (3) RS-2 zoning is too intense and is out of character for this area. (4) If R-2 is rezoned to RSE, the RSE designation will meet the Comprehensive Plan requirements and is seen as more favorable. Commissioner Hulbert stated that he is not in favor of changing the master plan. He would like to see this area stay with the RSE zoning and have larger lots. Commissioner Michalski agreed with Commissioner Hulbert. He does not want to see this area changed to medium density. Alderman Buckmaster is not in favor of going to a higher density. Commissioners Stinebaugh, Simpson and Schaumberg agreed. Petitioner’s representative, Mr. Don Pionek of W170 S6742 Timber Court, addressed the Commission commenting that in PAGE 2 Plan Commission Minutes, continued October 18, 2005 reviewing the quarter section maps, and taking into consideration the amount of wetlands, the proposed density would work with surrounding areas.
