“Why do we need that?” Mr. Neufeld asked. “My understanding is that boundary lines for zoning don’t have to follow lot lines.”
“You would be creating a piece of property that could not be used for commercial or for residential,” Mr. Reynolds said. “You can do a boundary adjustment so you don’t create a non-conforming lot. ”
Mr. Neufeld said he agreed with Mrs. Parrish. “I‘m having very little problem with Main Street, but I have a problem taking land that borders Gay Street for anything other than residential,” he said. “You have a nice open space there. People see it as an aesthetically beautiful little place to look at.” He said he had walked around that block many times and had also driven through several other small towns “and I haven’t seen any town where Main Street is Zoned one way on one side of the street and another way on the other side.”
Member Stuart Willis, who had announced he would abstain from voting, asked to make comments. He asked Mr. Wickens if he intended to go through all 26 goals of the comprehensive plan before voting. Mr. Wickens indicated he would. “I have an antiquated notion of fairness,” Col. Willis said. The planning commission had considered other applications for rezoning without going through the 26 points, he said. “To decide that before the rezoning can be found to be desireable all 26 points have to be checked off is going pretty far. It’s not required, and it’s not fair.
