Mr. Scott, Chairman, called

N E W B U S I N E S S
1. Zoning Map Amendment – City of
Hermitage – Ms. Holm reviewed this with the
Committee. She noted that this proposed rezoning is located on North Hermitage
Road (Route 18) between the Hermitage Middle School and Highland Road from IN
Institutional to CC-1 Central Commercial. The current uses are residential
(vacant) and one office. She noted that the existing conditions are 10 acres
divided in 3 properties containing now/previous residential structures with
typical plantings as would surround a residence. Lands are somewhat separated by
land believed to have been railroad property. She noted that the surrounding
land use on the southern boundary abuts current CC-1 zoning for approximately
413 feet. The remaining property as proposed would be entirely bounded by
Institutional zoning. The Hermitage School District borders to the west and
north, Hickory Methodist Church is across SR 18 to the southeast.
Ms. Holm also reviewed with the Committee
the permitted uses in the current zoning and the proposed zoning. She also noted
the recent changes to the Institutional zone: increased lot coverage from 25% to
30% and added banks and other financial institutions to the list of permitted
uses.
Attorney Don McKay, Hermitage School
District Solicitor, spoke on behalf of the school district.
He noted that the history of the railroad
property is actually property owned by the school district.
Mike Joanow spoke on behalf of the
rezoning applicants and noted that this proposed rezoning is consistent with the
Hermitage Comprehensive Plan.
After brief discussion, a motion was made
by Mr. Rollinson and seconded by Mr. McCandless to recommend approval of this
rezoning request. The members present voted to recommend approval. The
motion passed.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to
conduct, the meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
