LABARE REZONING REQUEST:

Chairperson Kyler read the review from Community Planning.

Mr. LaBare stated that he has an option to purchase this site and sell his land in Benton Twp. but needs it rezoned from B-1 to M-1. He will build a 60'x100' building to service trailers and equipment. They will be on display for sale or lease. He will look into filling in the low spot at the rear for storage. Would like to start construction in July.

Janet Korroch, 5143 Lansing Road asked if there would be an odor or hammering? No painting or steady noise-like presses.

Slucter stated that we are between land use plans and that the new plan shows that area as all industrial [M-1 zoning]. Would like to see the commission table until the plan is accepted. When Mr. LaBare [was] asked if this would be a problem he stated only in the sale of current property as could loose the sale.

Blair reported that the new future land use [plan] shows that area as all industrial.

Hall stated that he does not want to start changing things against the land use [plan] as did change one in error in the past. If the plans shows it as industrial it would fit right in.

Slucter stated that this would be a procedural item and he understands the real estate problem.

Dan Stremler, 5103 Lansing Road stated he was so surprised to get the letter as [Supervisor] Art St. Clair had said that [this] land was [zoned] Industrial when he got his rezoning five years ago.
