5. Members received a copy of a Memo to Mr. Stobs from Mr. Forney, Village
Manager. The Memo states that the Council requests the Planning & Zoning
Board take a look at the possibility of rezoning N. E. 2nd Avenue on both
north and south end of the business district to some type of commercial
district, office zoning requiring residential facades.
There was much discussion concerning this matter.
Mr. Stobs noted that there have been no applications, or requests come in.
There does not appear to -be a demand for more building. Parking would be
a problem, since there is not the advantage of X zone. The problems are
many, when there is a change of zoning.
Mr. McClure stated he thinks of SR84 with all its' signs and front yard
parking lots. He feels there should be some control.
