Fail to Approve Wilson- The report 6f:-the Plan Commission

Wilson - Weigle property was read,
recommending an extension of the R -7 Multiple- family District to the north
line of Sunset Court to permit the construction of 41 dwelling units;
elimination of the swimming pool and recreational facilities; the R -2
zoned portion of the property to be developed as a landscaped open area;
the west access drive to be moved to the center of the west sideyard;
parking for 25 cars to be provided on the R -2 zoned area; a one -way
driveway to Sunset Court; and a covenant prohibiting any additional
construction on the tract.
Trustee Schleicher moved, seconded by Trustee Wetzel, that the
Plan Commission's report be accepted.
Motion carried unanimously.
A lengthy discussion was had, the developer agreeing to accept
the conditions set forth in the Plan Commission's report. Trustee Raff
pointed out that any action taken by the Board to approve the recommenda-
tion was subject to a Board of Zoning Appeals hearing on two variations
- a driveway over R -2 single family zoned property to serve a multiple
Tamily use, and parking for multiple family in an R -2 district.
The spokesman for Astor Development Company asked the Board to
consider approval of a covenant which would permit construction of a
swimming pool if 100 per cent of the adjoining property owners consented
at a later date. Trustee Schleicher suggested the covenant could prohibit
construction of recreational facilities without the consent of 100 per
cent of adjacent owners.
Trustee Wetzel moved, seconded by Trustee Forrest, that the Board
adopt the recommendation of the Plan Commission with the amendment that
the rear part of the property zoned R -2 single family district will be
covenanted against any additional building in perpetuity, and permanent
recreational construction be permitted only with the approval of 100 per
cent of adjacent land owners. The motion failed for lack of a majority.,
the vote being as follows:
Ayes: Schleicher, Wetzel (2)
Nays: Forrest, Raff (2)
In explaining his vote, Trustee Raff stated he had attended the
Plan Commission hearing and all nearby residents were opposed; it would
set a precedent for other properties on Deerfield Road, and it was his
opinion that the R -2 area can be developed as single family with access
from Sunset Court. Trustee Forrest stated he felt the residents' wishes
should be respected, and if they were willing to take a chance on develop-
ment as single family, he was willing to go along.
Trustee Raff thanked the developer for the work he. :had 'done in
developing plans proposed by the Plan Commission.
The meeting was recessed at 9:25 p.m. and re- convened at 9:35 P.m.
