#1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE
Mr. Testin stated that a number of builder/developers representatives, the Home Builders
Association, and the Association of Attainable Housing approached the Plan Commission suggesting
the formation of a joint committee to discuss the changes to the Comprehensive Plan as proposed by
the Village Board. The Plan Commission is seeking Board direction on the formation of a
committee.
Trustee Dement stated that he was disappointed that the persons suggesting to form a committee did
not get involved earlier. There was ample time to address concerns/suggestions to the Village Board.
Mayor O’Connell stated that she too felt that the suggestions/concerns could have been brought to the
attention of the Village Board and that the suggestions/concerns that the developers have can now be
addressed to the Plan Commission at the time of the public hearing.
After some further general discussion, it was the consensus of the Board not to form a committee.
#2 STORMWATER DRAINAGE & DETENTION ORDINANCE UPDATE
Mrs. Stephanie Houk Sheetz, Planner, reviewed the proposed text amendment to the Stormwater
Drainage and Detention Ordinance. The proposed text amendment is a result of the detention pond
discussions held by the Plan Commission in Spring 2003. The proposed landscaping and design
requirements would address the following issues: more basin landscaping, better guidelines for
detention basin design, discouraging Canada Geese from flocking to detention basins, and safety.
Mrs. Sheetz then reviewed examples of naturalized detention areas.
After some general discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to proceed with the text
amendment.
The minutes of the Committee of the Whole Workshop of April 11, 2005 were adopted and filed.
