BOARD OF TRUSTEES MTG MINUTES FOR APRIL 17, 2017
Schuster asked about the street names in Misty Pines. Higgins said the last names are the victims of the
recent shootings; Barclay, Look, Weiland and Sann.
Ostrowski asked about having a fee for resealing. White said this is to make sure parking spaces are not
lost, as well as making sure parking spaces are not made too large.
Ermeling asked staff why there is a limit on the number of trees planted on an entire site. Wehner said
the maximum is limited to the kind of species and not the number of trees.
Berger asked about the privacy slat changes to the exterior storage ordinance. Higgins said the privacy
slats option was taken out of the ordinance, but now staff is recommending it be put back in.
Ermeling asked staff to explain the changes to the access and driveway standards ordinance. Donner said
the proposed changes to the text on the driveway requirement widths now will be referenced in the code
in one place instead of two. The requirements will now be more clear.
Ermeling asked staff to explain the changes to the off-street parking and traffic circulation ordinance.
Higgins said this is for staff to have a better definition of reconstruction and maintenance regarding
parking lots and traffic circulation areas.
Porlier said, after reading minutes, he was not sure if a public hearing, a less formal meeting or both
would be held for the proposed special assessments on River Front Place and Pine Ridge Lane. Donner
said the Administrator and he have a difference of opinion on this item. Donner suggested having a
hearing and then it could be re-heard again if necessary. Ermeling feels the informational meetings are
beneficial. Guild and Donner will discuss and decide on what process will be used.
