4. Action:
a. Development Permit Extension Request
Grand Park Development LLC has requested an extension of time for execution of all
documents pertaining to the Development Permit Lot 10, 11A & 11 B, The Village at
Grand Park.
Previously, the Planning Commission (PC) approved this Development Permit on April
25, 2012 with conditions. The Municipal Code states that:
Applicants shall have three (3) years from the date of approval of a development
permit to acquire all necessary additional permits and begin construction or use
of the property in accordance with the provisions of the development permit.
Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission Resolution 2016-01-01 with
essentially the same conditions.
Commissioner Taylor moved, and Commissioner Sumrall seconded the motion to
approve Resolution 2016-01-01 extending the approval of the Development Permit for
Lot 10, 11A & 11B, The Village at Grand Park, Grand Park PDD. Motion carried: 7-0.

5. Discussion:
a. Planning Area 7W and 10W charrette/discussion
Grand Park Development LLC requested to have a charrette with the PC to discuss
some pending development plans for Planning Area 7W and 10W. These are two Grand
Park Planned Development District planning areas west of the railroad tracks. A
charrette is a planning session where people can collaborate on a vision for
development. Grand Park shared their ideas with the PC and the PC provided
feedback.
b. Work plan for 2016
The Town Board budgeted funds in 2016 to hire a Planning Consulting Firm to help us
update our Comprehensive Plan with a "downtown specific" focus. The PC reviewed a
draft Request for Proposals (RFP) and had a discussion about the process. We
anticipate the plan will highlight a vision for redevelopment and revitalization for Fraser,
encouraging infill and mixed use opportunities. The Town Board will review the RFP at
an upcoming meeting. Work plan for 2016:
• Update Comprehensive Plan
• Design Standards
• Road work — Fraser Valley Parkway
• Pole Yard opportunities
• Path along 804 — walkability around Fraser
• Downtown revitalization
• Train depot opportunities
• Mixed use fee structure for water taps
• Parking requirements
• Possible code amendments
