Vice-Chair Veremis went over the process and noted that this is the third time the agenda item is before the Committee. Alderman Nardini stated he is in support and agrees with the Commission's findings and stated that between the Commission and Committee meetings there was no new information submitted. Chair Jensen agreed with Alderman Nardini and stated that the Comprehensive Plan is a living document, and it is nearly 20 years old. The City has not had the commercial development envisioned 20 years ago. Townhomes are both north and south of the subject property and the proposal fits with the neighborhood. Traffic trips are less than with a potential office building. Chair Jensen is in support of approving the proposal subject to working out a draft report.
Vice-Chair Veremis commented that the proposal is less intrusive to what can be there based on the existing zoning classifications and that it is a good transition. She requested that the applicant be mindful of the intersection sight lines when locating landscaping.
