development of Route 59.

A discussion ensued on the importance of these regulations, plans,
policies, and conditions on Route 59 planning and the limits of
Village authority and opportunity for controlling future develop-
ment. Possible input by the Village to FANCATS was considered in
terms of road capacity, land use, driveways, intersections, and
notification.
Other issues that wereinentioned included ways to improve existing
problems of strip commercial along Route 30 south of the Village,
the need for left turn lanes on Route 30 at Lily Cache, and methods
for obtaining County and State funding priority.
Bayer suggested that a motion by the Plan Commission would be
premature at this time due to the size of the task at hand and
the need for time to formulate policies using the information
and ideas presented tonight. A joint neeting with;:the Board in
workshop on July 8 was discussed. All members agreed.
Meeting adjourned.
Steve Manning, Planner
