Motion by Mr. LaMotte, seconded by Ms. Broussard Vickeres to close the public hearing. Motion carried unanimously. III APPEARANCES - NONE W ACTION ITEMS I Action on Variance Request - Killian (1695 Sorel Street) ( ) Motion by Broussard Vickers, seconded by Mr. LaMotte to grant the variance request based on close consideration of the variance standards and the consideration of ADA. However, since ADA does not necessarily mandate provisions for residential use, we feel the spirit of the law should be considered. Motion carried unanimously. II Action Rezone Request - ltehbein Properties The Commission discussed the advantages and disadvantages of rezoning the property. One disadvantage if the request is granted, is that a commercial property owner may return and request this 10 acre residential property be exchanged with 10 acre of commercial property. Furthermore, the area identified as RI is located within an industrial corridor and the area would not be conducive to residential structures. Mr. Hanson mentioned what type of park would be enjoyable in the middle of an industrial park. Mr. Rehbein said the Comprehensive Plan indicates the area as parks, but it is not correct. Motion byChair Welk, seconded - Mr. Hanson to recommend the property in Cl remain and the portion RI (Rural Residential) be rezoned to 11 (Industrial) and the area that is park be rezoned accordingly, contingent upon the Parks and Recreation Commission approval. Motion carried unanimously. V DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
