None.

Mr. Van Gompel reported on the status of the Community Development Director search.

Mr. Van Gompel noted that this item had been discussed at a previous meeting, and asked for additional comments and action if so desired.

It was moved by Mr. McGuigan and seconded by Mr. Raffensperger to lay this item over until the anticipated Community Development Director is on staff. President Wolfgram said that he did not feel the item must be laid over, and the decision is a Planning Commission matter. Mr. Van Gompel added that the Planning Commission should take action before May 1, 2001, because that is when the new terms would take place. Ms. Bellehumeur noted that since the Community Development Director is not proposed to be a voting member of the Planning Commission, the Commission composition should be determined by the Planning Commission. Mr. Raffensperger and Mr. McGuigan said that the knowledge and expertise of the new staff member might be of assistance in making this decision. Discussion continued regarding the preferred number of members of the Planning Commission. The motion and second was withdrawn.

Mr. Van Gompel discussed the requested Conditional Use Permit for the Agape Love Deliverance Church. Dr. Joyce Marie Dixon, Pastor of the church, provided a history of the church and the goals of the church. Steve Jeske, architect from Haag Muller, Inc., discussed the existing building and the proposed site modifications. Mr. Raffensperger requested that the proposed floor plan be presented should a public hearing be scheduled. Pastor Dixon discussed the hours of operation and the proposed use. Ms. Bellehumeur and President Wolfgram questioned the available parking. Mr. McGuigan expressed concern that no floor plan, landscaping plan, or site photos were presented, and had concerns about the parking facilities. He asked for further information to move this matter forward. President Wolfgram noted that the Planning Commission is particularly interested in the land use, and not as much the structural design and landscaping. He questioned whether the proposed use is appropriate for this site and facility, noting concerns with growth of the congregation and the available parking space. Mr. Jeske recommended that an annual review be written into the conditional use permit to look at the impact on the neighborhood and nearby residential streets. Mr. Carl Krueger asked if the North Shore Fire Department has completed its review of the proposal. Mr. Van Gompel said that the fire department review has not yet been received by the Village.

Mr. Van Gompel reviewed the redevelopment proposal for Market Place of Brown Deer. The project architect, Frank Pletchert, discussed various aspects of the project, including the current and future site layout and proposed tenant moves and additions. He noted that a restaurant development is also being considered for the site. Concerns were expressed regarding traffic flows to access the pickup window of the dry cleaner facility. Mr. Van Gompel recommended that the various options for location of the dry cleaning business be considered by the developer prior to the public hearing. Mr. Raffensperger questioned the purpose of the change in zoning. Mr. Van Gompel discussed the proposed change, and noted that it provides advantages to both the developer and Village.

It was moved by Mr. Raffensperger and seconded by Ms. Bellehumeur to recommend that the Village Board schedule a public hearing for Monday, January 15, 2001, on the request to rezone the south parcel from B2 - Planned Regional Shopping Center to BPD - Business Planned Development. Trustee Krueger asked if landscaping improvements are proposed for the parking lot area. Mr. Pletchert said that additional landscape planters are being considered. Mr. McGuigan questioned the truck delivery entrance. Mr. Galaga from Kohl’s Department Stores expressed his pleasure with the redevelopment plans, and added that the revision to Kohl’s will include major interior remodeling. The motion carried unanimously

It was moved by Trustee Krueger and seconded by Mr. Carl Krueger to recommend that the Village Board approve Resolution No. 00-, " In the Matter Regarding the Approval of Redivision of Outlot 1, Donges Woods Subdivision". Mr. Raffensperger asked about the depth of the detention basin. Mr. Buske said that the depth is approximately 10 feet and will be a wet detention pond, and has been reviewed several times by Earth Tech Engineering consultants. Trustee Krueger asked if DNR review is required. Mr. Van Gompel noted that a wetland delineation was completed, however none of the parcels are impacted or require further review. Mr. Schmitz asked if the basin needs to be deepened to accommodate the additional lots. Mr. Van Gompel noted that the basin is designed to handle the runoff from the new lots, as well as areas surrounding the subdivision. The motion carried unanimously.

D) Conditional Permitted Uses

President Wolfgram discussed his concerns with the existing conditional permitted use zoning guidelines. He expressed interest in considering improvements, and encouraged the Planning Commission to aggressively consider revisions to the conditional permitted uses, or removing the conditional permitted uses from the zoning code all together. Trustee Krueger noted that changes to the zoning code might be a multi-year project, and should not be expected to be a quick process. Mr. Raffensperger noted that conditional permitted uses are not foreign to zoning codes. He asked when the zoning code has been rewritten. Mr. Van Gompel said that he is unaware of a complete revamping of the zoning code. He noted that this is why a Community Development Director is being sought. President Wolfgram asked if a moratorium with regards to conditional permitted uses be initiated should this effort be undertaken. Mr. McGuigan expressed interest in the concept of making improvements to the zoning code. Mr. Van Gompel said that the strategies and goals of this process should come from the Community Development Director. Trustee Krueger asked that Village staff research the impact a moratorium would have on the community.
