PLAN COMMISSION RECAP

Action Items
* Public hearing - conditional use permit/site plan - Ripon Assisted Living (Hwy 44) - The commission decided to table any action until either July 27th or August 19th. No landscaping plan was available and the commission was not prepared to vote on the project until that is completed. If the plan is done in the next week, the commission would likely vote on July 27th.
* Certified Survey Map (extraterritorial) – Clint & Cori Baier (W13165 Olden Road) - Approved
* Certified Survey Map – Deano & Vicki Pape (148 Stoney Ridge Road) - Approved
* Establish public hearings to consider 2 new TIF districts – Wed, Aug 19th - Approved. The TIFS include #8 (the new downtown district) and #10 (this covers the 151 acres east of Douglas Street and south of Highway 23 where Agnesian Health Care is building a new facility)
Discussion items
* Nuisance ordinances and code enforcement practices (with the proper City staff) - Dave Nitz, Building Inspector, and Code Enforcement Officer Gary Failor updated the commission on the city's efforts to improve code enforcement. A general consensus was to leave the code enforcement position at 10 hours per week, but to look at making the city ordinances stronger and more clear on areas of property maintenance and improvement.
* Zoning revisions for B-2 (highway business) districts to allow for greater flexibility - The commission agreed to look at a special zoning overlay district for the West End Business District.
* Streetscape proposal for West Fond du Lac Street area – Vierbicher Associates - The commission sent the proposal to the Community Appearance Team and asked staff to solicit other bids.
* Proposed covenants for City’s new business park at Highway 44/ Douglas Street
Project updates & staff reports - A basic outline of a new covenant, which covers building materials, landscaping and other requirements, was reviewed and sent back to staff to "flesh" it out.
