Commission Members in attendance included Hope Brogunier, Tom Davis, Cindy DeBeck, George Elliott, Shep Harris, Jackie Hewett, Jim Hinds, Judy Kellogg Markowsky, Jim Parker, Lucy Quimby, Tricia Quirk, and Marion Rudnicki. City Staff included Ed Barrett, Jim Ring, and David Gould, as well as Jeremy Martin. Others in attendance included Ed Bearor, Tim Pease, Mike Waugh, Jeff Allen, and Carol Epstein. Chair Shep Harris called the meeting to order shortly after 1:00 p.m. The October 19 meeting summary was approved. The Commission discussed the Draft Review Process Guidance and Criteria previously prepared by George Elliott. The group noted that George’s outline was very detailed and may be beyond what the Commission needs or would receive for project review. Also, that it would be most useful to develop an outline that could be provided in advance to prospective developers that identifies the basic areas of interest to the Commission. The developer would use this as a guide in preparing materials and presentations for the Commission review process. Staff will prepare a draft for future consideration. The Commission continued its review of the Molly Lane Extension Subdivision project. At this time, the developer is only proposing to move forward with the northerly half of the project originally presented in order to allow more time to address wetland questions, etc. associated with the southerly half. A motion by Tom Davis and seconded by Jim Hinds to recommend approval of the northerly half as proposed carried unanimously. Review of the proposed WalMart Development Project continued and the group discussed the Draft Commission Review comments for the project and agreed to some revisions in wording. There was also discussion relative to trash and litter control on the site - in both paved and unpaved areas. Sewall will provide specific language to address this concern. The Commission voted in support of the Review Comment document with the changes as discussed. Tom Davis was opposed, indicating traffic concerns, specifically noting objection to Hogan Road Extension not being the primary access route to the project. These changes will be incorporated into the Commission’s Review Comments that will be provided to the Planning Boarding. Because of the duration of the meeting, preliminary review and discussion of the ALSID Development Project was postponed until the November 17 Commission Meeting. Carol Epstein did address the Commission regarding concerns about the proposed access drive to WalMart and necessity of it to be constructed, which will also provide access to her adjacent property (ALSID Project). Before adjourning, dates for the Planning meeting with the Regulatory Agencies were discussed. Best dates are either 11/21 or 11/22 at 1:00 p.m., with 10:00 a.m. as an alternated time. Jim Ring will confirm the meeting date and time. Meeting was adjourned shortly after 3:00 p.m. 1
