Chairman Simmons called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Roll call
was taken. L. Kelly, G. Krahn ' D. Norris, J. Eichelberger,
J. Wilson, and D. Neir were absent.
Case No. 237-1017892 - Comprehensive Amendment to the Village
Zoning ordinance. Location: Village-wide.
Chairman Simmons stated the first districts to be covered are
Agricultural, and Residence Districts (Rl, R2, R3, and R4).
Mr. Waldock briefly described each subject on the summary (outline)
sheet noting that several new zoning provisions are being proposed
with the zoning ordinance update. Among these are a Planned Unit
Development section, Agricultural District, Central Business District,
and Office, Commercial and Industrial District. New numbering
designations are proposed for each district. The format is intended
to be concise and easy to use. In putting together each of the
sections, we're trying to put into effect what the Comprehensive Plan
suggests that we need to do.
Mr. Waldock also stated Estate Zoning is not included in the draft.
He is looking for some direction from the Plan Commission before
drafting an Estate Zoning category. It may or may not be a necessary
category, but the Comprehensive Plan does call for it. Some
discussion is needed on this.
Agricultural District
Mr. Waldock summarized the following sections under the Agricultural
District: Intent, Permitted Uses; Conditional Uses, Accessory Uses,
Area Requirements, Lot Width Requirements, Yard Requirements, and
Height Limitations/Bulk Regulations.
The Agricultural District is intended to provide an environment
suitable for and limited to those uses, activities, and structures
related to agriculture. This zoning classification shall also serve
as a development tool to preserve land prior to the availability of
Village sewer and water systems. I

Rl Low Density Single-Family Residence District
The Rl District is intended to provide single-family areas of a
low density character with lots containing a minimum of 12,000
square feet. This district remains primarily the same as our
current Residence A zoning category. The new ordinance will provide
for fewer special uses which are seen to be incompatible with
low density single-family development.
