ABSENT: Cheri Seils. <br /> <br />CITY PLANNER: Justin Burslie, NJPA <br /> <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Dawn Bittner <br /> <br />COUNCIL LIAISONS: Jerry Akerson and Randy Loukota <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order by Vice Chair Brown at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />PRE-MEETING DISCUSSION: <br />a. Comprehensive Plan – Review Transportation Section <br />Mr. Burslie explained the construction of the alternate alignment of State Highway 371 <br />will become a reality in the very near future. The Transportation Section of the <br />Comprehensive Plan should be reviewed. <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie stated the City may be asked to look at the land use in the area of the <br />alternate alignment, specifically the four corners of the interchange. The <br />Comprehensive Plan made a point of stating that development should happen in our <br />core rather than sending water and wastewater lines out to the interchange. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Member Habein stated the City cannot afford to run <br />infrastructure to that area. <br /> <br />The Donjek Report from the Highway 371 Alternate Route Study Group will be included <br />in the July packets. <br /> <br />The assumption is that all four corners could be developed commercially, but not all <br />four could be developed. The northeast corner is the Fire Tower and zoned Recreational <br />and the southeast corner is right-of-way and the new frontage road to Benvelle and the <br />sewer ponds. <br />
