Item #1:    Public Hearing on Project Plan for Tax Incremental District #8, and Adopt Resolution.

John Wilmet opened the public hearing portion of the meeting. The hearing would be held similar to a Council public hearing with three calls for comments and anyone that wants to make a comment would need to come up to the microphone. Three calls were made and no one came forward with a comment or question. The public hearing was then closed.

Susan Hoeft, of Vandewalle & Associates, gave a short presentation. Nothing has changed in the Plan since it was last presented to the Commission at the work session. The projects and assumptions have not changed. There have been a few grammatical changes that have been made to correct errors that were found. The Plan is being presented with January 1, 2008 numbers, but those will be updated to reflect the January 1, 2009 numbers.

Bill Camplin asked a number of questions dealing with interspersing office, community facilities and appropriate residential land uses in commercial areas; detailed site plans, use of high quality building materials in high quality developments; the potential rear entryway for development adjacent to neighborhoods; the actions of the City will be a result of a commitment/project by a developer; the expenditure of funds within a one-half mile radius of the District boundary; the application for grants and what they could be used for; and complete the development within the City before going outside of the Bypass. The questions and issues were all answered.

Motion by Cm. Gray, seconded by Bill Camplin, to adopt Planning Commission Resolution #1 creating Tax Incremental District #8 in the City of Fort Atkinson. The motion passed by a 6-0 voice vote.

Item #2:    Approval of Minutes and Adjournment.

A motion to approve the Minutes of the August 11, 2009 meeting was made by Cm. Gray, seconded by Roz Highfield, and passed by a 6-0 voice vote. A motion to adjourn was made by Dennis Rybicke, seconded by Cm. Gray, and passed by a 6-0 voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 4:36 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
