2. Discuss Planning & Zoning Department Work Plan 2010-2012
Paul Popelka, OV Acting Planning & Zoning Director, presented the Work Plan
for FY 10/11 and 11/12.
Vice-Chair Hornat opened the public meeting.
Bill Adler, OV resident, said the only items that should be on a Work Plan
that Town Council will approve, are projects that come before the Commission.
The Work Plan needs to have elements specified such as, an estimate of how
many hours are going to be involved as to the percentage of total number of
hours available. Mr. Adler said completing the Environmental Sensitive Land
Ordinance (ESLO) and any commitments to the Historic Preservation
Commission need to be limited to the Cultural Resources Inventory. The sign
code, commercial review, and the completion of the ESLO are going to take the
rest of the year or may enter the next fiscal year and that is as far ahead as the
Commission should look. Mr. Adler said the Work Plan needs to be whittled
down to just the projects that are going to go to the Commission for approval.
Don Cox, OV resident, said he would like the Planning and Zoning Commission
and Department to look at those items they can do in the near future that may
enhance revenue for the Town. It is those items that should be placed with the
highest priority so they may get through the Council a lot easier.
Discussion:
- Effectiveness of CPI
Commissioner Caswell said this is a strategic marketing plan and enhancement
of revenue is something that the town needs. She said she hears from the
business community all the time that it is hard to do business in OV because of
so many restrictions.
Discussion continued about removing items not needed in the Work Plan.
3. Planning Director Update
Mr. Popelka gave an update on items coming to the Commission in February and
March.
4. Future Agenda Items
Opened and closed without comment.
