1. GENERAL PLAN UPDATE: MEETING PRIOR TO SIXTY-DAY REVIEW
Chair Cox briefly outlined what he hoped to accomplish at the Study Session. The
meeting was not called for a discussion of issues. According to the schedule that was laid
out the Planning and Zoning Commission was to review the recommendation prior to going
to the 60 day review. If there are recommendations from the Commission, he would like
them to the Revision Committee and ensure that the Revision Committee is very clear
exactly what the Commission is talking about, but no response is necessary. In the next
60 days the Revision Committee may meet and discuss what changes the Commission
presents.

January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 2
1. PUBLIC HEARING — OV9-04-11, TRANSLATIONAL ZONING FROM A PIMA
COUNTY CAMPUS PARK INDUSTRIAL ZONE TO AN EQUIVALENT TOWN OF
ORO VALLEY ZONE OF TECHNOLOGICAL PARK FOR A NEWLY ANNEXED
AREA, BOUNDED ON THE WEST BY ORACLE ROAD - ON THE NORTH BY RAMS
FIELD PASS - ON THE EAST BY RAMS CANYON AND ON THE SOUTH BY
SHURGUARD STORAGE, PARCEL NUMBER 220-04-010M
Mr. Nodine gave the Staff Report.
PUBLIC HEARING opened and closed at 6:15 p.m. there being no speakers.
MOTION: Vice Chair Anning MOVED to recommend that the Town Council approve
OV9-04-11, translating the zoning from Pima County Campus Park Industrial to Oro
Valley Technological Park. Commissioner Kinared seconded the motion. Motion
carried 5 yes, 0 no.
2. PUBLIC HEARING — OV9-04-09, BIG HORN COMMERCE CENTER REQUESTS A
REZONING FROM TECHNOLOGICAL PARK DISTRICT TO C-1 COMMERCIAL
DISTRICT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF RAMS
FIELD PASS AND ORACLE ROAD, PARCEL 220-04-010M
Applicant Bob Solfisburg, 1521 E. Placita Baja, introduced his partner, Todd Otis, and
thanked Staff and Scott Nelson, Town of Oro Valley, for their time and effort. The
applicant is requesting rezoning approval for approximately 3 acres located at the
southeast corner of Oracle Road and Rams Field Pass. The proposed change is from
Technology Park to C-1 Commercial that would include use restrictions proposed by Staff.
The development is known as Big Horn Commerce Center with approximately 29,000
square feet consisting of two building sites. Access is provided at two points on Oracle
Road and two points along Rams Field Pass, with the access at Rams Field Pass being a
restricted access point. The center is designed to attract business that will provide both
neighborhood and regional benefit to the Town of Oro Valley. The proposed design
standard is also compatible with ORSCOD. Oracle Road will be widened in the near future
with the possibility that ADOT will allow a signalized intersection at Rams Field Pass and
Oracle Road. We remain proactive in supporting ADOT in its efforts to construct a signal
at this intersection that will benefit our development and the Rams Field Pass
neighborhood. Up to date, we have had two neighborhood meetings held at the Holiday
Inn Express. Based on our impression of those meetings, we have had general support
for our project. General Plan policy 4.12 states industrial uses will fit in master plan
campus settings. The proposed development immediately east is being developed as
residential in an industrial zone. The change in the neighborhood makes industrial for this
site non-compatible. Retail and office development is the highest and best use. Policy 1.2
states promote compatible mix of land uses through the Oro Valley Planning Area. Policy
1.2G states commercial uses should seek to locate near new population centers. It is
obvious that this planning area no longer follows a master plan of industrial park.
Community Commercial is an ideal transition that would benefit the neighbors and have a
positive long term effect on property values.
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 3
Commissioner McKee commended the applicant on the completeness of the packet
presented. He asked if Phase 1 and Phase 2 corresponded to building 1 and building 2.
Mr. Solfisburg said there were some market variables that answer that. Based on current
market demands, we feel the market could absorb the initial project of 14,000 square feet.
Timing of Phase 2 is going to be predicated upon some of the market dynamics. Phase 2
is building 2. About 40% of the project is projected for retail, 30% for food/restaurant and
30% for offices.
Mr. Solfisburg told Commissioner Bistany that the ratio concept is projection at this time.
In response to Chair Cox, Mr. Solfisburg said the restaurant type would be
bakery/breakfast-lunch, but not on a national scale.
Mr. Nodine gave the Staff Report. Staff is recommending approval with the Conditions that
are in Exhibit B as opposed to Exhibit A. Exhibit B is in the Addendum.
Mr. Civalier told Commissioner Kinared that the access 2 was for right in only with nothing
going out that access.
Commissioner Kinared said that if approved with the conditions proposed and road
conditions intensify, the right turn into the parking lot could back traffic up on Oracle.
Would that foreclose correcting the problem?
Mr. Civalier said it was possible. If the Commission so desires, they can eliminate this
access (#2) and he would have no objections. The site will work with the other access, but
basically he does not foresee backups from access 2.
Mr. Civalier said that to add a second eastbound, right turn only lane on Rams Pass would
need ADOT approval. If there was obstruction in the parking lot, it could still back up into
the intersection.
Commission McKee asked how the Commission can do both a translational zoning and a
rezoning on the same piece of property at the same meeting.
Mr. Nodine said that in terms of the Commission's actions, both of the actions are
recommendations and don't take effect until the decision is made by the Town Council.
With the Town Council, the translational zoning must go on the agenda ahead of the
rezoning and takes effect before the rezoning. The 30 days apply to Council actions.
PUBLIC HEARING opened at 6:35 p.m.
Bill Adler, who turned in a blue card, was called and did not respond.
PUBLIC HEARING closed at 6:36 p.m.
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 4
Chair Cox agreed that the potential problems with access 2 need to be corrected now so it
does not create a problem in the future. If access 2 were eliminated, could building one be
moved to the west and access 3 be widened?
Mr. Civalier asked what purpose it would serve to widen access 3. He suggested making
the entry 28 feet instead of 24 feet. Loop roads on commercial sites are 28 feet wide.
Commissioner Kinared said by the analysis before us, there is a question of both if, and
when, there might be traffic movement constraints because of right turn movement into
access 2. Those movements could be resolved by an additional lane from Oracle to that
access. It may not ever be needed, but if we required a right of way be dedicated that may
be the solution.
Mr. Nodine did not have a comment on that, but wondered if it is an issue. He asked the
Commission to look at the numbers projected for traffic in that area. The projection is at
peak hour with 35 vehicles coming in on access 2, or one every two minutes. The chance
of a back up there is slim, especially since this isn't a large parking area. Look at the
numbers before making a decision.
Mr. Civalier told Commissioner Kinared that the intersection at Oracle and Rams Field
Pass may eventually have a signal light. He has spoken to the regional engineer for
ADOT and they are working with the developers in the area to have a signal there. It will
depend if it is warranted.
Vice Chair Anning pointed out that if there is additional parking backing onto the access 3
entry there are other hazards involved. Moving the building to the west would have a
negative effect on traffic because to compensate there would be parking along the access
drive. He does not see any reason for access 2.
Chair Cox said we are operating under current parking code, but we have a tendency to
over park. He thinks access 2 should be eliminated as it will be a problem.
Applicant Mr. Solfisburg said traveling north on Oracle Road most people will use the first
access point that is shared with Shurgard. The purpose of providing the right in only is to
direct traffic to the front of the development as compared to the rear of the project. It is for
the amount of traffic that will be coming from the south. He does not see a backlog off of
Oracle Road. He would like to keep access 2.
Mr. Civalier told Chair Cox that you could not put an island in for a right in only; it is more
like a bird beak. ADOT will eventually widen Oracle to six lanes with turn lanes, so there
would not be much room for a right turn lane. ADOT may also say access 2 has to be
eliminated because it may interfere with traffic.
MOTION: Commissioner Kinared MOVED to recommend that the Town Council
approve OV9-04-09, rezoning 3.26 acres located on the southeast corner of Rams
Field Pass and Oracle Road from Technological Park to C-1, subject to the
conditions listed in Exhibit B with Conditions #11 and #12 deleted, and the access 2
deleted. Vice Chair Anning seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 yes, 0 no.
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 5
3. PUBLIC HEARING - OV8-04-07, THE WLB GROUP, REPRESENTING THE ORO
VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB, REQUESTS APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR A BUILDING EXPANSION, LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER
OF VALLE DEL ORO ROAD AND GREENOCK DRIVE, PARCELS, 224-34-1650, 224-
35-0810, 820, 830, 350, 360, 370 & 910
Steve Oliverio, the WLB Group, 4444 E. Broadway, Tucson, represents the Oro Valley
Country Club Building Committee. Members of the committee are present along with club
members and neighbors if additional questions or comments arise that Mr. Oliverio can't
address. The proposed site is at the intersection of Greenock and Valle del Oro and is just
under 8 acres. As proposed almost half of the site will remain as open space or
landscaped area. The existing zoning is R1-36 with the golf course and clubhouse use
allowed with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Basically, the applicant wants to take an
aging, existing private golf facility and upgrade it to keep in stride with the current golf
clubhouse standards. The plan is to take the existing site and rearrange the amenities to
provide an upgraded user friendly facility that focuses on its primary use, the beautiful golf
course. All the uses proposed currently exist on site with the exception of the relatively
small exercise fitness building.
Mr. Oliverio discussed the existing site layout and the proposed changes per the
preliminary site plan.
Michael Franks, Architect, Sever Franks Architects, 2552 N. Alvernon Way, Tucson, said
one of the major design criteria of this project was to build the new facility, while
maintaining and operating the existing facility. The plan consolidated the parking field,
showcased the golf course as it exists today, the entry sequence off of Greenock, and the
Porte Corchere drop off with a feature look through to the number 9 green as a key
component of the proposed design. All functions front the amphitheatre of the 9th green.
The pro shop facility sits on top of the cart storage which is underground and is accessed
by a ramp that goes to a cart staging area. The ancillary use that has been added to what
currently exists on site is the exercise and fitness area with an adjacent swimming pool.
Mr. Franks told Commissioner Bistany that the existing tennis courts will remain intact and
the greens to the left will become a parking lot.
Mr. Oliverio addressed the conditions in the exhibits. He proposed revising Condition #1
on Exhibit A that instead of trying to rush the plat amendment, or as the Pima County
Assessor would like to see, a lot split combo, add a note to the first sheet of the
Development Plan making the signature of the mylars of the plan contingent upon getting
the lot split combo approval.
Mr. Nodine said that was acceptable, if it meets the set back requirements. The lots will
have to fit the proposed Development Plan.
Mr. Oliverio said Condition #2 on Exhibit A asking for a 50 foot set back from the property
line is based on a Parks and Open Space District, which he is having trouble seeing how it
applies to R1-36. There have been several meetings with the neighbors directly to the
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 6
north, the Tearses. The applicant has been working with the Tearses to try to resolve the
issues. As the plan is being revised for development submittal, the pool has been moved
30 feet away from the property line, therefore taking care of all the drainage that is
required totally on the project's property. As platted, there is a 20 foot drainage easement
with 10 feet on either side of the property line, but it would all go on the site's side so as
not to disturb the Tearses' side of the drainage easement. In addition, another 5 feet may
be taken off the pool and the straight wall on the north would be zigzagged in and out to
create pockets for additional landscaping to help buffer the area. This plan will be staked
out to show the Tearses.
Mr. Oliverio stated that the Code, R1-36 does allow for private facilities, Section 6.103c. It
also tells what screening is required. There are no additional set backs mentioned in that
portion of the Code.
Mr. Oliverio said Condition #3, Exhibit A, has to do with saving some significant trees
scattered around the area. Attempts were made in the site plan to move the islands in the
parking area to help salvage those trees, but upon further investigation and the study
shown in Exhibit C, there is quite a bit more room needed to salvage those trees. The
Code does allow and provides for mitigation of those trees, if they cannot be saved, which
is what the applicant is proposing to do.
Mr. Oliverio said Exhibit B repeats the 50 foot set back requirement, which has already
been addressed.
Mr. Oliverio told Chair Cox that if the three trees that are scheduled to come out were to
remain, that an estimate of 5 to 10 parking spaces would be lost.
Mr. Oliverio replied to Chair Cox that regarding switching the fitness area with the pool in
Condition #2, Exhibit A, that this was discussed with the neighbors to the north and the
neighbors did not like the building being there either because of the height. It would also
be more difficult to provide utilities, specifically sewer, to the building by moving it further
away.
Mr. Oliverio told Commissioner Bistany that the project's parking space is under what is
required by the Town, but in accordance with a letter from the golf course it is about where
it should be for operating needs.
Mr. Nodine gave the Staff Report and presented the McGann and Associates Report for
the Native Plant Preservation Plan and their recommendation for preservation of certain
trees. Staff is recommending approval with the Conditions in Exhibit B. Exhibit B removed
the Condition related to providing a study. Staff recommends instead that the proposed
layout be reconfigured to accommodate the recommendations within the letter from
McGann and Associates.
Patrick Steffel, 200 W. Valle Del Oro, General Manager of the Oro Valley Country Club
responded to Commissioner McKee regarding square footage, that the main dining area is
about 12,000 square feet, with an additional proshop below, administration and cart
storage is over 9,000, plus the pool house building and outside storage. There may be a
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 7
minimum of 22,000 square feet with the buildings combined. The total square footage will
be increased by about 4,000 square feet. This does not equate to more members. The
club is bound by their bylaws as to how many members they can have.
Mr. Oliverio told Commissioner Bistany that the use of the pool is very passive, having a
lap pool and possibly an area for water aerobics. The corners could be rounded and the
north side as mentioned earlier, brought back about 5 feet with notching to provide
landscaping and buffer. A kidney shape would not work well.
Mr. Oliverio told Vice Chair Anning the pool would not be used for swim teams or meets.
PUBLIC HEARING Opened at 7:30 p.m.
Rick Sathre, 10260 N. Krauswood Lane, stated that he was excited about rebuilding the
facilities. Oro Valley has not done a lot of redevelopment. As the Town ages we will see
more of this where it is time to begin again. The Club is trying to bring the facilities up to
the standards of this century and to be a good neighbor. Relative to the pool, he has been
a member at Oro Valley for 3 or 4 years, and the pool is very seldom used. He did not see
it as a noisy place. He did not think it would be used any more than a residential pool in a
greater neighborhood. He asked the Commission for their support for the CUP.
Fay Mucci, 250 W. Greenock Drive, lives directly north of the tennis courts. She is in
opposition to the parking lot to the south of her. She would like to see about 15 units
removed and the lot moved farther south so that the lights will not light directly on her
property and she could still have the trees that are there. She would like to see them
reconsider the amount of spaces they are proposing on the north side.
Gary O'Connell, 251 W. Golf View, is in support of the clubhouse and all the facilities as
proposed. He had an opportunity to read Exhibit B that addressed an increase in traffic on
Greenock. He would submit to the Commission that there will be little if any increase the
way the proposed site is laid out. He lives directly north of the tennis courts. The
membership is nearly full now, so the traffic is what it is. The members who enter from
Greenock will continue to do so. A lot of the members enter from El Conquistador and
south of the clubhouse. There are two primary entrances, one on Valle Del Oro in the
southern most portion of the property, and one on the east on Greenock. The entrance on
Valle Del Oro will become a small parking lot. The primary entrance will become the
Greenock entrance where members will have access to the clubhouse facilities, the pool
and the fitness center. There is not going to be a tremendous increase in the traffic
pressure on Greenock. He agreed with Mr. Nodine's statement that it is not totally geared
to residents only. Those who are familiar with Oro Valley Country Club know that it is one
of the finest golfing facilities in southern Arizona now. Putting a clubhouse of this
magnitude and nature will bring further credibility to it. One of the goals of the long range
planning committee is to increase the social membership and make the Country Club
available to more residents in our community. Any impact on traffic going from 80 to 120
will be negligible on Greenock and the flow will be primarily El Conquistador and the south
side. He gave his full support to the Commission for the proposed project.
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 8
Jeanne Tearse, 260 W. Greenock. She and her husband's property abuts the pool area
and is their main concern. She brought a letter to the Commission and sent one to the
HOA regarding their concerns. They are also members of the Club and look forward to
having a new Club. Even though the property is zoned R1-36, it is a commercial
operation, which changes the neighborhood. We do not want a pool that close to our
property. We are working with Steve O. and trying to be good neighbors to solve this. Our
home was built the same year as the Country Club, 1959-60 era. It was one of the model
homes there. Without those model homes being sold, the Country Club would have had a
tough time. It has grown and there are about 243 units in the HOA, about 12% of which
belong to the Club. The applicant has said there will not be a grill next to the pool, and it
will be a snack bar if there is anything. They agreed to change the configuration of the
fence by the pool, or the easement. There has been a water problem there, which has
been worked on and seems to be satisfactory. However, we do not want the noise of the
pool and did ask for a 50 foot setback and the applicant has not agreed to that. If the
applicant does not agree to that, she would prefer to have the fitness center there.
Mr. Nodine told Mrs. Tearse that the setback for the fitness center would be R1-36, which
is a 20 foot setback.
Mrs. Tearse said she knows the pool has not been used a lot, but who is to say what will
happen in the future. She is sure the people who built the club in 1959 had no idea what
would be happening in 2005. Consequently, we would like to preserve that area. Her in-
laws owned it; she lives there now, and her children want to live there also. We are at the
end of the cul-de-sac and now we look out on the greens, the chipping green, the old trees
and tennis courts, which is beautiful and we would like to keep it. If they can cut back on
parking and save the trees, that would be a plus.
Mrs. Tearse asked what code the applicant was using, whether residential or commercial.
Mr. Nodine told Mrs. Tearse said that the applicant's standards fit the zoning, which is R1-
36, so unless something is applied as part of the CUP, any development would go forward
with the standards that are given for an R1-36 development.
Mrs. Tearse said the applicant has agreed to stake out the walls along the cul-de-sac
street, around the pool, and where the property lines are to be so she will be able to see
where everything is going to be. The applicant has done a lot of work on the easement so
there will not be the problem of water going down Greenock to the north and to the south.
There is one spot where the sidewalk meets the easement and that wall is at the moment
open and she would like to see it closed as a continuous wall. We are working together on
this and for the most part she supports this. The pool is the biggest problem, with the
concern a noise issue, not visual.
Lanford Jorgensen, 201 W. Valle Del Oro, said he and his wife own the property that has
the most frontage to the proposed project. Visually we are going to get a dramatic change.
We look down on the property now and see beautiful green trees and grass. Most of the
parking is spread out and below the street, so there is very little view of cars parked there
now. This will concentrate all of the cars in one spot, so we will trade a nice landscaped
area for a parking lot. There will be more traffic because all of the cars will be going in and
January 4, 2005 APPROVED MINUTES PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING 9
out the one entry. People in the interior of the subdivision will be going that way. There
will be increased traffic. There will be increased noise. From our selfish point of view,
obviously the visibility is going to be far less than it is now.
PUBLIC HEARING Closed at 7:50 p.m.
Mr. Nodine told Chair Cox that the Code requires there be an island every 10 spaces. The
impact could be reduced to 6 spaces lost, by not doing everything that Mr. McGann's
report suggests. The islands were put where the trees are, so the conversion of one
parking space on either side of those islands would come close to meeting McGann's
recommendations.
Mr. Oliverio told Commissioner Bistany that there would be no lighting around the pool.
Mr. Oliverio responded to Chair Cox that the lighting on the north side would be focused
downward and muted as required by code. Part of what is being required by code is
screening in the form of a wall as well as lush landscaping. There should not be a problem
from headlights. If necessary the applicant would agree to raise the wall to 8 foot if it
would help with noise mitigation.
Mr. Nodine replied to Commissioner Kinared that this project if approved with some
conditions, it will go to DRB this month.
Mr. Nodine told Chair Cox that regarding the light on the north side by the cul-de-sac,
anything within 10 feet of the property line can be no more than 10 feet high, and have to
have side screening to stop light trespass onto the adjacent properties. The lights can get
taller as they get further away from the property, until at 60 feet away they can be 18 feet
high. It is also possible that the lighting could be put below the wall level.
Mr. Steffel told Commissioner McKee that the Club's permit allows 200 social members
and 340 golf members by charter. There are currently 120 social members with 80
memberships available. The Club is full on golfing members. The membership could
increase to the maximum. The largest traffic group is the golf invitational at 288 persons.
Socially when there are groups like the Chamber of Commerce come for lunch with 80
persons, it does not create a problem. At least 100 of the members drive their own golf
carts to the Club which has zero parking impact. He didn't think that would change.
Mr. Steffel continued that there are occasional outside events such as weddings on the
weekends. The new facilities are not being designed for increased outside events. We
are restricted to 15% of our income to come from outside functions. 85% has to come
from our own members as a not for profit event. In the peak season there are only about 3
to 4 families per day that use the pool. There will be no night time parties around the pool.
Mr. Nodine told Commissioner Bistany that he recommended using Exhibit B rather than
Exhibit A, changing item #2 that there be an additional space on either side of PV12, PV11
and PV10 converted to landscaped area; three spaces adjacent to PV2 be converted to
compact spaces; and, if possible, create another 3 foot landscaped space by CF7.

Mr. Oliverio said that even though the Code allows the applicant and gives the opportunity
to mitigate for these trees, the applicant would agree to do as Mr. Nodine suggested and
preserve those in place, with the exception of to item #2 in Exhibit A, the applicant asked
to be given the leeway to work with Mrs. Tearse to move forward. In other words, the
applicant asked to do away with the 50 foot set back request and change that condition to
say that the applicant will work with the neighbor to the north to her satisfaction.
Mr. Nodine said that would be up to the Commission. He is comfortable with Mr. Oliverio
and Mrs. Tearse working together to come to a solution that will eventually go to the Town
Council.
MOTION: Commissioner Bistany MOVED to recommend approval of OV8-04-07,
conditional use permit for the new clubhouse facility, subject to the conditions
described in Exhibit B as modified and agreed upon by Applicant and Staff:
• Mr. Nodine's proposed change to item #2, that there be an additional space on
either side of PV12, PV11, and PV10 converted to landscaped area; that 3
spaces adjacent to PV2 be converted to compact spaces; and, that if possible,
create another 3 feet of landscaped area adjacent to CF7.
• Applicant Mr. Oliveria agreed with Mr. Nodine's proposal to preserve the
above trees in place, with the exception to item #2 in Exhibit A to be able to
work with Mrs. Tearse, to change the condition to say the Applicant will work
with the neighbor to the north to her satisfaction. Mrs. Tearse was in
agreement.
Vice Chair Anning seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 yes, 0 no.

REVISED BY ENTIRELY REFORMATING THE TEXT, CORRECTING NON-
SUBSTANTIVE ITEMS SUCH AS GRAMMAR AND CROSS REFERENCE
CITATIONS, AND CREATING VARIOUS TABLES FOR EASY REFERENCE
Mr. Nodine told Chair Cox that the Planning and Zoning Commission does not need to
approve reformatting, etc. but if the Commission had any comments he would appreciate
them. The document has been reviewed by the legal staff. There has not been any
review by the development community. Part of the concern is trying to get the code to be
editorial instead of substantive.
Chair Cox suggested that in the future when code is revised that a review is offered to
clients.
PUBLIC HEARING Opened and Closed at 8:15 p.m. No speakers.

Commissioner McKee thought that if the Commission is going to review the Code that the
Commission needed more time.
Attorney Andrews said there are no substantive changes in the code and has not found
anything significant.
MOTION: Commissioner Kinared MOVED to recommend that the Town Council
approve OV7-04-07, revised and reformatted Town of Oro Valley Zoning Code.
Commissioner Bistany seconded the motion. Motion carried 5 yes, 0 no.
PLANNING UPDATE
Thursday, 1/13/2005, at 6:00 p.m. there will be a General Plan Study Session with the
Planning and Zoning Commission, the Town Council and the General Plan Update
Revision Committee.
Chair Cox made a public thank you to Commissioner Robert Krenkowitz, whose term
expired in December. Commissioner Krenkowitz did a good job and made a tremendous
contribution not only to the Commission but to the Town.
