Planning Commission Minutes May 24, 1982 Page Fifteen zone change for his property. Mr. Martin indicated that his property had been zoned commercial up to a year and a half ago. In the rezoning process of the whole to\vu, it was zoned with property across the railroad tracks and the prop- erty to the west of his property to 1-2. In order to renovate his buildings, he must get a zone change. Mr. Martin would like his property to become C-3. Chairman Tracy asked Zack Johnson for his comments on the zone change. Zack Johnson indicated that the HRA had suggested in their plan that the Planning Commission look into the area all the way out to Proctor. Mr. Johnson indicated he had some question about the validity of industrial east of Oxford because of the configuration of the land. Mr. Johnson indicated that questions were raised about street right-of-way. Discussion followed regarding setbacks. Zack Johnson also showed the Planning Commission a plat map of the area involved. Zack Johnson indicated that he was also concerned about the feedmill. Chip Martin indicated that he had checked with the tax assessor. Mr. Martin indi- cated his tax statements indicated he is being taxed as commercial. Zack Johnson indicated that any rezoning should not include the feedmill. Mr. John- son also indicated that this should be looked~at and worked out; possibly creating a new zone. A C-3 would create more problems. Commissioner Pearce indicated this request should go back to the drawing board; es- specially regarding the setbacks. Chip Martin showed the Planning Commission the parking plan of his property. Commissioner Pearce asked Mr. Martin what the reason for his request for a zone change was. Chip Martin indicated that he would like to have a small business such as a Iffivn mower repair shop, parts shop, etc... Commissioner Pearce indicated that staff should look at this with a possible new class of zone. Commissioner Gunkel inquired as to how this differs from the Axelson's request other than one is commercial and one is residential. Zack Johnson indicated that he didn't feel there was, theoretically, a difference. Mr. Johnson further indicated that possibly the recommendation of the Planning Commission should have been to see if there was another way to r~rrite the zone. Mr. John- son also indicated that a motion could be tabled for 60 days. Commissioner Gunkel indicated that staff should have a review session prior to the next Planning Commission meeting.
