VI OLD BUSINESS
D. Butler Company /GHQ - McDonald's Zoning Amendment
President Howell presented a brief background of the procedures that had
been followed. On August 15, 1977, the Plan Commission did not endorse
the proposal; on December 6, 1977, the Zoning Board of Appeals by a 4 -3
vote gave an unfavorable recommendation; and on January 12, 1978, the
Village Board of Trustees considered in summary and heard comments for
and against the proposal. After deliberation, a motion to deny the
establishment of a new zoning classification to accommodate this develop-
; ment was carried by a 4 -3 vote. If events and discussion merit reconsidera-
tion, and with 5 affirmative votes at a subsequent meeting, the matter can
! reconsidered and kept alive by rescinding the vote.
President Howell felt reconsideration should be given to McDonald's
because they are a fine corporate citizen, have financial staying power,
and the proposal will maintain the ecology.
Trustee Cerne stated discussion with the Butler Company merits reconsidera-
tion that the objections can be met. This action will keep the proposition
alive and does not constitute a final vote.
