OLD BUSINESS
Chairman Waltz mentioned that the Joint Review Board held a meeting at 4:30 p.m. today and approved
the Resolution Approving Tax Incremental District No. 8 Amendment. This amendment was also
approved by Common Council Resolution #169-2005 on September 27, 2005. Chairman Waltz
requested that Plan Director Muenkel supply copies of the final Amendment Plan to all members of the
Community Development Authority.
At this time, Chairman Waltz introduced the new City Administrator, Jennifer Sheiffer. Ms. Sheiffer
expressed her appreciation for the time and dedication given by the members of this committee.
NEW BUSINESS
Approval of an amended Building, Site and Operation Plan for Premier Limo located in Redevelopment
District #2 (Tax Key Nos. 2193.123, 2193.124 and 2193.125 / Janesville Road).
Plan Director Muenkel stated that all revised Building Site and Operation Plans in the Redevelopment
District are required to come before the Community Development Authority. Mr. Mortle, owner of
Premier Limo, received approvals from Plan Commission and Community Development Authority with
the requirement that the limos must be located in a fenced area. The petitioner has met all the other
requirements and would like to have the fence requirement waived due to all the modifications made to
CDA Minutes October 4, 2005 - page 2
the site. Director Muenkel informed the commissioners that Mr. Mortle relocated three limo parking
stalls behind the small building with the limos facing southwest. The limos will access off Janesville
Road. The dumpster will be placed in the northeast corner of the site and will be enclosed with cedar
board on board fencing. The original approval required fencing across the front of the property. The
petitioner has cleaned up the site with new landscaping around the small building and is now requesting
no fencing in the front of property. Staff has included photos of the site and recommends that the
fencing requirement be waived.
Chairman Waltz requested a motion to approve this item for discussion. Commissioner Link approved
moved. Alderman Salentine seconded. Commissioner Lidbury stated that he has driven past the site
and it looks very nice. There was a reason the fencing was required previously, however, after seeing
the improvements made the fence does not appear to be required. Alderman Salentine said that the
site looks beautiful. It was her suggestion to have the limos parked in this direction. As long as the
dumpster is enclosed, she likes the site the way it is. Commissioner Link requested clarification if lot
19 is part of this property. Director Muenkel stated that it is part of the property. Commissioner Link
said that given the way the site looked previously, it now looks like the intent of what the community is
trying to have in this area. Commissioner Glazier agrees with the other commissioners. He is glad that
the petitioner has modified the site and feels that the property owner has given more than what was
required. This is a great plan. Upon a voice vote, motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC INPUT—
There was no public input.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW:
Chairman Waltz did have some items to discuss with no action to be taken this evening. Chairman
Waltz directed the question to Director Muenkel: when TID 9 was set-up in Tess Corners, bonds were
sold to finance the infrastructure. There is an increment of a percentage point with the difference going
to operating costs of the CDA. Has the CDA accrued any funds that could be used by the CDA for some
other purpose than bonds? Staff will look into this and report back to commissioners.
The next meeting date to be determined.
ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, Commissioner Lidbury moved for adjournment, seconded by
Commissioner Glazier. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 6:52
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
