Applicant - Steve Svornik; Location - 200 Block Lockport Street; Action Requested - Rezoning from Residence A to Residence A-1 for a two (2) unit. Discussion by the Plan Commission - The only access to the property is by a small strip which also serves as an entry way to the garages of the homes at 200 and 112 Lockport. The property was apparently sub- divided in this fashion sometime in the early 1970's. Today, a subdivision that dial not provide public street access for everyone would not be approved. Rezoning of the parcel would increase traffic on this strip and further. contribute to a difficult situation. Proper street access is not provided to the development. Proposed rezoning is not in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan of the Village _o f_ Plainfield which identifies this area as historic single-family. Objections to the rezoning were received from the residents at 200 and 112 Lockport. By a vote. of 6 to 0, the Plan Commission recommends denial of the proposed rezoning. L. Kelly moved to concur with the Plan Commission and deny the petition for rezoning the Steve Svornik property in the 200 block of Lockport Street (south of 200 and 112 Lockport Street). Seconded by K.
