, <br />said that is not necessarily true. There are going to be some kinks in the application of the ordinance. <br />A baseline needs to be established. He added that Westlake has a version of this as part of their sign <br />code. Mr. O'Malley explained that there was some concern by Council about asking one landowner to <br />map out another landowner's signs and the amendment was done to steer away from that. <br />1X. OLD BUSINESS: <br />Mr. Koeth said the board needs to recognize Mrs. O'Rourke for the time she has spent on Planning <br />Commission. He would like to congratulate her for the fine job she did on Planning Commission and <br />on the Landmarks Commission. She did a great job and he would recommend that the Planning <br />Commission recognize her work. Mr. O'Malley asked if it would have to come from the commission <br />or if there are alternative channels to prompt the Mayor to issue a proclamation. Mrs. Kilbane <br />indicated the Mayor will be notified of the Planning Commission's recommendation. Mr. Koeth asked <br />where things stand with replacing Mrs. O'Rourke. Mr. O'Malley indicated that a press release was <br />issued that listed vacancies on the various city commissions. Mr. Koeth suggested that the board <br />members keep pressure on Home Depot and Wal-Mart as consumers and citizens. Mr. O'Malley <br />commented on the communications item on the agenda. He said the recommendation that the board <br />made to the Mayor and Council to divert funds to hire a planner did take place. It might be appropriate <br />to make an inquiry of the Mayor as to the timetable that he has in mind to post that vacancy and fill <br />that position. It is not too soon to continue the subcommittee work to study the timeline for the master <br />plan review and try to meet with this planner as soon as he gets on board. Mr. Koeth indicated he will <br />call the Mayor. Mr. Hreha said he would like to see item four on the agenda switched with item three <br />to accommodate the residents. He said he believes they need to be more respectful of the resident's <br />time and have them addressed first. Mr. Rymarczyk said there might be quite a few developments that <br />are pending a lot consolidation and if the consolidation is granted, he asked if they would be <br />automatically giving the development an approval. Mr. Hreha said the residential lot consolidations <br />and splits should be the second item. The board members agreed that the agenda should be modified <br />so that after the review of the minutes if there is a residential lot split or consolidation, the resident will <br />be addressed as the next item. Mr. O'Malley said the city engineer, Mr. Durbin, was just sitting in on <br />Council's committee meetings and they tabled Ordinance 2003-100, the creation of an economic <br />development department. He said his understanding was the finance director was going to have the <br />money moved from the Planning Commission to a line item to pay for a planning director and he <br />thought the position of planning director was already established but was un-funded. <br />Mr. Koeth excused the absence of W. Allan. <br />X. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Koeth adjourned the meeting at 9:35 p.m. <br />Robert Koeth, Chairman DAte ' Annie Kilbane, Assistant Clerk of Commissions <br />10
