Mr. Jakel explained that he had not seen the documents however they would be required as a contingency prior to the plat being reviewed by the Common Council.

  • Storm Sewer and Drainage Easement for Lot 63, Fourth Addition to Winchester Park. Mr. Sundelius explained that the Plan Commission previously reviewed the revised drainage plan.

  • General Matters. Ms. Brunette explained that the Joint Review Board will be considering amendments to several existing TIF districts and any amendments would require a public hearing before the Plan Commission, which is scheduled for Thursday, September 19th at 4:00 p.m. As the public hearing needs to be publically noticed, Ms. Watson asked Commission members to save the date to be sure to have a quorum to take action at the public hearing.
