| Rept. Of Comm: | Ben Ranger reported that the Pond Committee visited the site at 2280 W. Lake Rd | |
| and said there was plenty of room for a pond and the site was wet and a pond will | ||
| help alleviate the problem. | ||
| Petitions: | 1. Public Hearing for Special Land Use at 2280 W. Lake Rd. to construct a pond. | |
| Craig & Laura Dubiel were present and said they want a pond to help with the water | ||
| problems. Mr. Dubiel said the proposed pond is well away from his well and septic | ||
| field. | ||
| Chairperson Curtis opened comments to the audience. | ||
| 1. Steve Pace, 2310 W. Lake Rd. said he has grandkids who might fall in the pond, | ||
| he is afraid of the West Nile virus from mosquitos, and he is selling his house and a | ||
| pond will hamper the sale. | ||
| Chairperson Curtis opened comments to the Board. | ||
| Max Schweitzer asked what he will do with the fill and was told it will stay on site. | ||
| Ben Ranger said the back property is wet now but he may have trouble keeping water | ||
| in the pond when it is dry. | ||
| Gery Giltinan said the area is low and wet but the site won't interfere with the well | ||
| and septic field. | ||
| Bob Palmer said the area is a flat open field and Mr. Dubiel will pitch the runoff | ||
| towards the pond so it will not affect the neighbors, and he recommends approval. | ||
| Motion by Ranger, seconded by Zinn to approve the Special Land Use for a Pond. | ||
| Roll call vote. All ayes, motion carries. | ||
| 2. Final Site Plan for Mott Community College, 4082 W. Vienna Rd. | ||
| Paul Thwing, SSOE Architects was present and spoke on the project. He said Mott | ||
| will do the landscaping and presented a plan. He also said they will leave the present | ||
| lighting, and the dumpster will stay where it is. | ||
| Sam Migaldi, building owner, said when they redo the exterior of the building they will | ||
| come to the Planning Commission for approval. | ||
| Bob Palmer said they will reface the sign at the road, which is preexisting, and they | ||
| will have a new sign over the main entrance. | ||
| Discussion on motion requests at the preliminary site plan review. | ||
| Motion by Zinn, seconded by Schweitzer to approve the final site plan for Mott. | ||
| Roll call vote. All ayes, motion carries. | ||
| 3. Hearing for amendment to Vienna Town Square PUD. | ||
| Stephen Pawlaczyk, Atwell Hicks, was present to present the changes. He said | ||
| the original PUD was approved on August 15, 2005 and was 400,000 sq. ft. The PUD | ||
| has been redone and is now 345,000 sq. ft. and the buildings have been shifted | ||
| around. | ||
| Chairperson Curtis said the Planning Commission will decide tonight if the changes | ||
| are minor and whether they affect the overall character of the original plan. | ||
| Bob Palmer said the plan is basically the same, just smaller density, and more | ||
| green spaces. There will be a landscape separation between the PUDs. The entrances | ||
| will remain the same. | ||
| Vernon Curtis said he would like to see a walking path between the two PUDS. | ||
| Gery Giltinan said this is an improvement from the original with more green space and | ||
| lower impact. | ||
| Motion by Zinn, seconded by Schweitzer, finding the proposed changes are minor in | ||
| nature, and does not violate the area and density requirements, and does not affect | ||
| the overall character of the plan. Roll call vote. All ayes, motion carries. | ||
| Unfinished Bus: | Ben Ranger said the Board needs to revisit the sign issues in the PUDS. | |
| New Business: | None. | |
| The meeting was adjourned at 7:07pm. | ||
