Cunningham moved, seconded by Little that the subject property be zoned R-lA Single Family Dwelling Classification. The vote on the motion `ti~as: Russell - For Cunningham - For Little - For Frank - For and was therefore unanimously passed and the proper ordinance is to be prepared by the Village Attorney. Mayor Russell advised that the next matter for consideration was a change in zoning classification from R-1 to C-1 and to determine a zoning classification for a parcel of land, both parcels owned b3' the North County First Aid Squad, Inc. and located on Seabrook Road just south of the JTJC property, which the Squad intends to use as the site for the construction of their ambulance service building. The Village Attorney has advised that such a land use must be in the C-1 zoned classification. Hearing recessed from 7:26 P.M. to 8:50 P,M. Mr. William Smallwood said siren noise would be negligible or minimal and the building would house the ambulances; provide training facilities and living areas for Squad members while on duty. CounciLaari Little asked what the status of the property would be if it would be zoned. C-1 and the Ambulance Squad would give up the property at some time in the future. Mr. Lord said it would remain as C-1. A discussion ensued on how to possibly provide zoning that -2- would revert to R-1 in the event the Squad did not retain ownership of the property. Attorney Lord and Christopher Cook were directed to look into the matter and advise the Council of their reco~nendation on the matter so it could be acted upon at a later date. The Hearing was recessed at 8:5© P.M. until call of Mayor Russell. Respectfully submitted, ,-, ~~"` ~o ert Har Clerk RH: jf n U
