. . . Planning Commission Minutes April 23, 1991 Page 12 Larry Toth of 813 Fawn Road, felt that zoning a parcel for a specific use was better than a PUD as t.here can be a lot of problems with a PUD. He used Barrington Hills as an example where the public was tired of attending public meetings whenever someone wanted something changed. Commissioner Schroeder agreed that some of the PUD's were not developed correctly. He stated that zoning a parcel PUD doesn't keep it from becoming commercial. A PUD can be a higher density commercial than a C-3 zoning. Chairperson Johnson closed the public hearing. A good deal of time was spent by the Planning Commission and staff addressing the public's concerns regarding traffic flow, access, and how the site would be laid out. It was the general consensus of both the public and Commission that t.his was a sensitive area and should be protected. Peter Beck, City Attorney, suggested that if the Planning Commission were to recommend approval of the zone change they should attach a condition that the property be subdivided prior to the development. COMMISSIONER SPOTTS MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL DENIAL OF THE ZONE CHANGE REQUEST BY JERRY HAGEN FROM PUD TO C-3/HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL SO AS TO PRESERVE THE SENSITIVE AREA AS IDENTIFIED IN THE FOCUS AREA STUDY AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-1. Commissioner Bischoff was opposed to staff's recommendation and the Commission's recommendation because he felt there should be a line made up that would would protect a certain wooded knoll and still have C-3 zoning bordering Highway 169 and a PUD on the east side. He was in favor of Attachment #3 as proposed by staff. 16. Consider Conditional Use Permit (A~. Use) by David Barents/P.H. Gary Schmitz, Recycling Coordinator, stated that David Barents of 19101 Tyler Street is requesting a conditional use permit to have one horse on his 2-1/2 acre parcel. Mr. Schmitz felt the use was consistent with the rest of the area. Staff is recommending approval of this request as it meets the seven standards for a conditional use permit request. Chairperson Johnson opened the public hearing. David Barents stated that prior to buying their lot they talked to most of the neighbors about getting a horse and no one objected. David Burandt of 19188 Tyler Street stated he was not opposed to their request as he is surrounded by neighbors who also have animals. Chairperson Johnson closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY DAVID BARENTS SITING THE FINDINGS
