LIBRARY BOARD CONT'D She stated that they would like to ex- pand east towards Main Street so people would be aware that there is a library and also for safety reasons as the library is open during the evening. Planner Drumm informed Council that the library expansion has been included in the grant application and the expansion will be both east and west. Council stated that they agreed with Mrs. Hoggls request and appreciated her presentation. Mr. Wurl noted that the library expansion was included in the grant application. JENSEN REZONING REQUEST Mr. Dennis Drumm reviewed his recommen- dations noting that the Planning Commission did hear the request and considered the information and now recommended that Coun- cil deny the rezoning request. The public hearing was opened by Mayor Waschak. Mr. Robert Jensen, 1400 Main St., stated that his interest was to maintain his business, which has been in existance for 25 years. It has never created any hazards; and much of his business is school children and did not feel that his business was any type of hazard. He stated that with the rezoning, it puts him and his establishment into a con- conforming use. Mr. George Lybarger, 1428 Main St., stated that as far as parking goes, he would have more off street parking then any other business in the City and did not see where this type of argument would have any bearing. He stated that he was ungratefull for the attitude that the Council and Mayor has taken on the issue. Mayor Waschak stated to Mr. Lybarger that the Councilor himself has not taken any type of attitude on the issue. Mr. Lybarger stated that he may want to put in a business or sell to a business and that the property value is higher as commercial then residential. There were no other comments and the pub- lic hearing was closed. -3-
