P & Z Minutes Dec 3, 2012 Pg #6 Sam Cannata asked who is going to grant the variance. Do we have to come back and get a variance for that? We're opening up a can of worms. I got a final approval to do a project alter 2 % - 3 years and we're talking that I have to came back for a variance for a fence that's over and above. • Chairman Pro-Tem Regan said with all due respect you've been here 4 or 5 times with 4 or 5 different options, so we've wai#ed a Iong time as well. Ms. Calta interjects to correct something. My understanding is this is not a final approval. Sam Cannata said that's exactly right. Ms. Calta said just so we're all on the same page here. You are going to have to come back. Sam Cannata agreed, with final drawings. I think we should address the landscaping, mounding & screening upon final approval. Ms. Calta said I don't think anyone's disagreeing with that. I would. just say that getting into some,of the possible details of the buffer is what the Village wanted to hear from Mr. Kinnaird. That's what he's articulated. He's articulated what he thinks would be sufficient to provide him the appropriate buffer. But, all of us do not know exactly what's going to be constructed, we do not have the final plans before us, so we can't with any sort of certainty say it's going to be a mound or that the fence is going to be this. But we want to address the concerns. We're articulating a potential checklist of items that should be reviewed at that point in time and sort of flushing it out. I see your point of view. You do not want to be limited. On the other hand, we want to address the concerns that we all want to be satisfied with an appropriate buffer. Nobody wants~to make it look like heck. We want to make it look appropriate. That means we're alI going to have to come to the table and talk about what that buffer should look like at._ the appropriate time. We all think these are the components it's going to take, but maybe it want. At the end of the day maybe. a fence. won't be the answer or maybe it'll be the only answer. I have no problem with putting in language that allows the flexibility. It's not tying you to anything. But we will have a Development Agreement and those details will be addressed in the Development Agreement. You have a couple different mechanisms that are in place right now. One, this body which is going to have a final plan before it at some point for that phase / area, whatever you want to call it, which maybe in 4 months, it might be in 4 years. True? Sam Cannata replzed absolutely. Every single meeting we've been to whether it's been the preliminary meeting, a workshop, a Council meeting, every single meeting we're on record stating we're going to work with this gentleman to provide screening, absolutely positively, mounding, fencing & landscaping. However, I think we all want to do it fixst. class and not let it look Like a hodge-podge. We've reached out to him every single meeting beforehand to contact him to ask him what his needs are and the only time he addresses them is when he shows up here. We are open, we want to come and talk with you, meet with our.Architect, but it has to be a two way street. You need to have a dialogue with us when we call you two weeks ahead of time for the meeting, or set up a meeting. We just want to meet and discuss this instead of
