A) CALL TO ORDER, ROLL CALL Approval of the Workshop Minutes of April 25 , 2005. 1) SPRINGBANK AQUATIC CENTER The Deve loper wants to present the site plan and PUD for the aquatic center to the Board To ensure the project is acceptable. The project has been to Plan Commission and was recommended for approval. The developer wants to move forward on the project and will have limited representation on for the 16th Board meeting, so they have requested the workshop to address any issues prior to the Board meeting. 2) GRANDE PARK SOUTH The developer for Grande Park has been moving forward with the design. They have been bringing the project forward to the Board in stages to be sure they are on track. The last meeting the Board was introduced to Randall Arendt , the nationally recognized land planner and author on conservation design. The developer and Mr. Arendt will present the draft plan and outline how the plan was achieved. Staff and the developer are looking for Board input and direction on the plan. 3) SERIES 2005 BOND ISSUE Enclosed is a draft Ordinance for the proposed Series 2005A a nd 2005B Bond issues. These bond issues are being undertaken to finance the construction of the new Law Enforcement Facility as well as to advance refund (refinance) the remaining portion of the Series 2000 Bonds. This is pursuant to prior polic y and the Budget. 4) MOR A TORIUM/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Plan Commission is reviewing the Board's suggested changes to the Comprehensive Plan and the Village Board has firmly directed that the matter be brought to a conclusion. Previously, the s taff indicated that as long as the Comprehensive Plan was still going through review, the present annexation moratorium would remain in place. The Village Board has two basic options: a) The moratorium continues until the Comprehensive Plan is properly amended; or, b) The moratorium can be lifted as the Comprehensive Plan is being amended.
COW May 9, 2005 Page 2 of 2 If we lift the moratorium, do we instruct developers to follow the existing or proposed Comprehensive Plan? Can/should the moratorium be eased if the development could serve some of our special needs such as school sites, commercial, utility or transportation needs? Is there some other hierarchy of needs that might give a new annexation a priority? B) ANY OTHER BUSINES S DEFERRED ITEMS Open Space Referendum – T.
