INTERNAL BUSINESS
1) September 30, 2006 Retreat
The final agenda for the off-site meeting was completed.
2) UC Planning Resources
EPC will assess if there are any projects that the UC School of Planning can assist with. If there are, then a formal request will be made through Village Council.
3) Access Management Study
Kathy Farro will review the Access Management Study and report back to EPC.
4) Other items/MDI Report
A motion was made by Chris Schaefer and seconded by Michael Schwartzman regarding the MDI Report:
- Concur with the CIC recommendation that MDI should complete Phase I as defined in the scope of services. For example, items such as land banking, Village Crossings, and PG Graves were not fully developed.
- Expressed concern that a 'Retail Only' approach is not the most appropriate method for examining the development opportunities for the Village.
- Proceeding with Phase II is dependent on successfully completing Phase I.
- Phase II scope of services needs to clear in both specific products and intent of tasks and there needs to be a monitoring function that will allow for easy comparison of delivered product versus scope of services.
- Prior to initiating work on Phase II, there should be an approved direction and theme.
- The architectural firm that will be hired for Phase II should be interviewed and approved by the CIC.
- The primary planning function of this effort is to assist the Village to develop a plan for how land use is regulated in the Village and to provide for justification if land is to be rezoned.
The motion was passed on a 5 yes 0 no vote.
5) Other items/Harwood Letter
A letter was received by the Village concerning the threat to Ash trees in this area. The letter will be passed on to Ralph Terbrueggen for consideration.
6) Approval of the minutes from August 15, 2006 Planning Commission meeting.
Motion by Susan van Amerongen, seconded by Michael Schwartzman to approve minutes was passed on a 5 yes, 0 no vote.
On a motion to adjourn the meeting by Dick Shaffer and seconded by Rob Adams, the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM by a 5 yes to 0 no vote. The next regular meeting is scheduled for October 17, 2006 at 6:00 PM. The next EPC meeting is the off-site meeting scheduled for September 30, 2006 at 8:00 AM.
