Mrs. Barney gave a PowerPoint presentation of the area. Amy Neary of McKenna
Associates reviewed their report and the Fire Department report was received.
Mr. David Birchler addressed the Commission, presented drawings, and answered
questions on behalf of the applicant.
Chairman Cebulski opened the Public Hearing at 7:27 p.m.
The following residents of the area expressed their objections to the proposed
rezoning: Jeff Montgomery, John Roan, Terry Webner, John Wild, Ron Hurley, James
Patton, Joann Walker, Dwight Dean, Larry Carver, Robert Towne, Charles Washburn,
and Carol Geary. Concerns centered on the impact of increased density of
housing, the possibility of reduced property values, possible reduced water
pressure, and increased traffic congestion.
There being no further comment, the Public Hearing was closed at 7:44 p.m.
Moved by Commissioner Davis, supported by Commissioner Karell, to recommend to
the Board of Trustees denial of the request for rezoning from R-1-E, Single
Family Residential, to R-1-S, Single Family Residential, Application 1799/0603,
Allie F. Fayz, based on the following reasons:
1. The requested rezoning is not consistent with goals and policies of the
Township Master Plan.
2. The current R-1-E is more consistent with the Future Land Use Plan than the
requested R-1-S.
3. The requested rezoning could establish an undesirable zoning trend in the
Township, which would undermine the orderly transition of densities.
4. The current R-1-E zoning is more appropriate to the nearby pattern of land
division and housing development than the requested R-1-S zoning.
Ayes all, except for Commissioner Mueller who abstained because of a possibility
of a perceived
conflict of interest.
