Iron Horse Station — Has been in front of the City Council for the past month regarding stormwater
ponds in parkland within the subdivision. The matter is currently tabled per instructions from the
developer due to costs. The developer has notified the city that he will be in contact with the city with
his plans moving forward.
Yard Office - City Planner and Public Works Director had meeting with County officials and Developer
two weeks ago. There are extensive issues with the subdivision originating from original surveying and
platting. City Planner and Chair discussed the issues with the subdivision that include road dedication,
parkland dedication, parcel ownership, and pre-existing structures. It is not in the interest of the city to
clear these issues up. The developer has been notified about the issues and City and County officials are
waiting on their action before acceptance of the subdivision takes place.
Brester Acres — Comments have come back from county officials. The developer will be notified of the
changes that are needed.
Other Items
On the radar for updating:
o Growth Management Plan
+ Zoning Codes
o Subdivision Regulations
Ron Benner discussed that it would be helpful to have a map of all the zoning exceptions/variances for
properties in the city. It would be important to have an accurate idea of these circumstances moving
forward.
Members discussed the status of the Vue and Brew Liquor License, how these licenses are transferred,
how the Vue and Brew will utilize the license. The Chair discussed how liquor licenses and permits have
been transferred and operated under in the past. Licensing is under the State Department of Revenue and
the planning board only reviews plans and checks the regulations about implementation and operations.
Liquor licensing is a state process, Planning Board only reviews plans and checks the stipulations and
regulations about building and operating an establishment. The Police department, Mayor, and other city
departments also review special liquor license permits that are then sent to the state.
