Public Hearing
Case No. 143- 220862, 605 Main Street, Baish Rezoning,
Currently A, Requesting A-2.
At previous Plan Commission meeting Mr. Baish requested
to build an 8-unit apartment building on said property.
Plan Commission denied request, wanted lower density.
Mr. Baish re-applied and presented drawings proposing to
build a 6-unit apartment building on subject site. He
stated the building would be the same size as presented in
previous drawings. Possible changes that he would make
would be to make the units a little larger, make a more
luxury apartment, with full basement. Would.allow for
parking I space and still obtain a large grass area. Setback
would be the same as the building to the west.
The Plan Commission suggested pursuing joint driveways,
then driveways will be wider. People would have more free
space. It would really be less dense construction.

Unfinished Business
Countv Case - Graver Farm
Attorney Babcock was present and wanted to know if anything
has been done regarding the Graver Farm matter.
D. Gullicksen apologized for not having any information at
this time, but.that he and Mr. Mauer will talk to Mr. Eaton
and get back to him.
Mr. Babcock stated he understands these things take time,
but he and his client would not like to be bogged down with
waiting for one to three months while negotiations are
taking place. He also stated.that if it should turn out you
can get to us to annex, no matter what stage we're in we will
sit down and talk to the Village, because we feel it is to
our advantage to annex to the Village. If the answer is no
the Village cannot annex contiguous to us, at least we haven't
lost two or three months time.
Mr. Babcock said he would make a commitment in writing to
negotiate annexation.
The Board stated they will get back to Mr. Babcock by Friday
assuming Mr. Eaton is available, and should have something
by the next meeting.

REPORT OF THE PLAN-COMMISSION
Case No. 143-220862
Location: 605 Main Street
May 6, 1986
Petitioner: Robert Baish Construction Co.
Request: Rezoning of property at 605 Main Street
from A to A-2.
Discussion: The public hearing was held before the Plan
Commission on Tuesday, May 6, 1986. The legal
notice appeared in The Enterprise newspaper
on April 16, 1986, according to State Statutes.
At a previous Plan Commission meeting Mr. Baish
requested a rezoning from A to A-3 to build an
8-unit apartment building on the said property.
Plan Commission denied request - wanted to see
lower density. And that if Mr. Baish re-applied
for rezoning from A to A-2 that filing fees be
waived.
Mr. Baish re-applied and presented drawings at
the May 6th hearing proposing to build a 6-unit
apartment building on subject site.
He stated the building would be the same size
as presented in previous drawings. Possible
changes that he would make would be to make the
units a little larger, make a more luxury
apartment, with full basement. Would allow for
parking space and still obtain a large grass area.
Setback would be the same as the building to the
west.
The Plan Commission suggested pursuing joint
driveways, then driveways will be wider. People
would have more free space. It would really be
less dense construction.
- 2 -
Finding's of Fact: Low density design and would not have
a detrimental affect to the single-family
character of the area.
No objections were received nor were any
objectioners present at the hearing.
Recommendation*, By a vote of 5 to 0, the Plan Commission
recommends that the Village Board of Trustees
adopt an ordinance to permit the rezoning
of the property at 605 Main Street from
Residence A to Residence A-2.
