-4- Mr. Joe Salland, representing Mr. Edlund, made the presentation for this rezoning request. Mr. Salland indicated that there are no immediate plans for the expansion of the present office facilities. He indicated tllat off street parking could be utilized for the proposed rezoned property at this time. ~~ further indicated that this property was developed prior to the 195~ zoning ordinance and is, therefore, a non-conforming use with a single family zone. Discussion I Mr. Robert Moore, 1613 Ridgewood Lane, indicated a concern for the future use of this property. He indicated that this was just a further step in commercializing Snelling Avenue. He indicated that there are two existing easements on this property; one for water and the other for storm sewer and, therefore, no permanent type structure oould be built over the existing utility easements. Mr. Moore indicated that it could be possible for these ease- ments to be moved and, therefore, permanent structures to be then put in place. The Commission indicated that generally final approval is not granted to a rezoning until the Commission, as well as the Village Council, look at the plans of what is proposed to go on the rezoned property. It was indicated that once you rezone the property you lose the control as to what will be placed on that property. It was indicated that in a 9-1 zone there is a limited number of businesses that can conform to that zoning ordinance.
