Board members and Gregg discussed development activity in the village, including WT Brews, Sal's, and Village Commons projects. The garage conversion project timeline requires permits to be issued within the next two months. If not, an extension will be required. No new planning applications have been submitted to Gregg's office.
Gregg provided a report on a county webinar he attended on preserving agricultural use in area municipalities. Gregg will share the video, if possible, for board members to review and consider. Gregg explained that about 150 acres in the village are currently under agricultural use, though zoned as R-1A. These parcels are primarily located between Ellsworth Road and Canton Street. These parcels were annexed to the village when sewer and water service was expanded. Current use is pre-existing, but there's no obvious limit in current village code that prevents agricultural use.
Gregg will share the EDR plan from June 2006, with the intent of having the board review it and recommend updates. Also, the board will consider (at a future meeting) a request for funding from the village board to pay EDR (or similar firm) to update the plan.
Gregg will see about getting the 2006 EDR report posted to the village website for easier sharing and public access.
