Special Council Meeting was call to order by Mayor Apking at 7:20 pm. Upon roll call the following council members were present: Ms. Carolyn Smiley-Robertson, Mr. Stiney Vonderhaar, Mr. John Ranz Jr., Mr. Bill Puthoff, Mr. Doug Lohmeier and Mr. Jeff Albrinck. Also present were: Assistant to the Mayor, Jack Cameron; Village Solicitor, Tim Burke; Della Rucker and Village Clerk, Barb Rohs.
The purpose of this special council meeting was to go through the Comprehensive Master Plan. The Comprehensive Master Plan focuses on the commercial areas in Evendale. This special meeting was a working session and the meeting was audio taped. These minutes contain major discussion points.
Mitch Quint, VP North America Operations, was in attendance to discuss the property owned by Formica in relationship to the Comprehensive Master Plan. The Evendale site is Formica’s central North America site for production. They would like their property to retain the zoning of industrial use and removed from the Master Plan. Other Formica locations in the US have been closed to move to this location. Mr. Burke stated that if Formica leaves this location there will be time to address rezoning.
Mr. Burke stated that the Comprehensive Master Plan is not a binding document it is a guide. Before rezoning takes place, there is a process that the Village of Evendale goes through along with the property owner to address concerns.
Mr. Puthoff made the motion to change the area #16 on the Comprehensive Master Plan to include non Formica Property and also change all wording in the Plan to remove “Formica”. Mr. Vonderhaar seconded and unanimously approved.
The Action Steps were gone through line by line and changes made to wording, dates, responsible parties and priority.
A motion was made to go into executive session to discuss pending legal action by Mr. Ranz and seconded by Mr. Vonderhaar and unanimously approved.
A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Vonderhaar and seconded by Mr. Lohmeier and unanimously approved.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:30 pm.
