New Business: There was no new business.
Old Business: Design Standards Overlay District.
Chairman Siegrist stated that in her opinion the Design Standards Overlay District which was re-
written by the City Attorney still needs some tweaking prior to the board voting to pass it on (to
the City Council). There are: things missing that the board discussed adding; items that should
have been fixed but were not; some wording changes that were not done; no downtown
overlay map; missing definitions; and many typographical and grammar errors.
Monica stated that the basic concepts and ideas are still in the draft but it needs to be cleaned
up prior to sending on to the City Council for their consideration.

After a general discussion it was decided that the Board needs to review the document again
and make comments on each page that they feel needs a correction or a clarification. Those

which Chairman Siegrist and Planning Director Monica Plecker will meet with consultant Steve
Zeier and go over each item one by one.
