Item #1	Centennial Oak pre-preliminary site plan review was presented by

	built in three different phases, with phase one consisting of 29 units,
	and the completed project total will be 80 units.
	Robert Palmer, Vienna Township Building Official said that the lot sizes
	were good, and the curbs were okay, but he thought there may be
	sewer capacity problems. He also would like to see the road opened
	to Allen St. in the City of Clio, and asked Mr. Carlson to meet with them.

Item #2	Simms Chevrolet, 4220 W. Vienna Rd. Preliminary Site Plan Review.
	Jeff Ferweda, Sedgewick & Ferweda Architects, was present to show
	the plans to the Board for a new used car sales building with a detail
	shop in the rear. The new construction will be similar in appearance,
	and be in line with the existing new sales building.
	Vernon Curtis said he would like a letter from the Drain Comm. Saying
	no new permits would be required for the additional drainage.
	Bob Palmer spoke on the sign issue saying a sign on the building was
	acceptable, but to place one at the road the property would have to be
	split. He also said that since the building was in the BDA district they
	would need some landscaping. A corner close to the road  would be
	acceptable since they would not want trees blocking the view of their
	cars from the road. The plans showed planned landscaping around
	the building.
	This will be brought back to the Planning Comm. with a letter from the
	Drain Comm. and a beautification plan.
	Chairperson Curtis asked for questions from the audience, and hearing
	none called for a motion.
	Motion by Giltinan, seconded by Ranger to accept the preliminary site
	plan for a used car building for Simms Chevorlet.
	Voting yes:  Giltinan, Ranger, Preseau, and Curtis.
	Voting no: None. Motion passes.
	Chairperson Curtis spoke to the Board concerning time limits for
	applicants to turn in their material to be placed on the agenda. Some
	discussion and then it was decided to set the deadline for Friday by
	5pm. The week before the meeting date, so the Board will have time
	to review the material.
	Motion by Curtis, seconded by Ranger to adjourn at 8:20pm.
	All ayes.
