| NEW BUSINESS: | 1. Review of BDA guidelines. | |
| Bob Palmer said he was concerned about making the guidelines into a law. | ||
| Some discussion on whether it should encompass the whole township or just the | ||
| BDA district, and it was decided that it should cover just the BDA district, and | ||
| include both commerical and residential, and to require landscaping, buildings | ||
| close to the front of property, with parking in the rear. | ||
| It was decided to invite Dave Nicholson, McKenna & Associates, to attend the | ||
| next meeting on June 10th, as well as the Vienna Township Board. Mr. Nicholson | ||
| will be asked for his suggestions on how to accomplish the goals set forth in the | ||
| BDA guidelines. | ||
| Discussion on the west side of I-75, along M-57, and that these plans should be | ||
| enforced with dense development. | ||
| Should the guidelines be left as such, or put into an ordinance where they become | ||
| the law, and legal ramifications if they are left as guidelines and someone does not | ||
| follow them. | ||
| The next regular Planning Commission meeting should be May 27, 2002 but since | ||
| that is a holiday there will be no meeting. If the need arises a special meeting may | ||
