James Skalitzky spoke in favor of the petition. Patrick and Kathryn Petrie, neighbors on the eastern boundary raised questions about screening and the view from their property, storm water runoff, lighting, hours of operation and in-and-out traffic. Each concern was address and a 5-foot privacy fence on the eastern boundary was suggested which seem to satisfy the Petries. Other parties expressed similar opinions and concerns. - Consider and take action on Geiger petition. Motion by Stang/Havens to approve the proposal with an additional requirement that a 5-foot privacy fence be constructed on the eastern boundary of the property at the beginning of construction of the first warehouse unit.

Approximately 10 neighbors and interested persons spoke in opposition to the rezone.
