Rezoning Debate Targets Deerpath Dr Traffic and Lot Rules
The planning meeting discussed rezoning parcels east and west of Deerpath Dr to R II and R III with Lot 16 excluded until plans are made. Residents urged written restrictions and street improvements before action, while officials warned the council would set zoning terms, not the commission.
Planning panel tables action as Root to present plat details
Planning commission delays further steps until Root submits the preliminary plat with covenant restrictions at the next regular meeting on Nov 15. Henry and John Weppler seek rezoning for a Cemetery Rd site east of Evergreen Cemetery from R II to M I, with John noting potential future shop use and Henry calling it no man’s land. The panel unanimously approves a rezoning recommendation after a motion by DePung and Diederich. A public hearing is set for Nov 15 on Nicholas Varland’s request. A drive in restaurant at E Washington and Division St is proposed, with a two year lease from IDOT and a need for a B III conditional use permit and public hearing. The lessee should obtain legal lot description, apply at the public works department, and prepare a rough site plan. Attendees included Mrs Strobel, DePung, Mrs Diederich, Bollen, Baker, Judd Brown and Narvick.
