REVIEW OF FINAL DRAFT FOR DESIGN MANUAL
Member McCoy inquired with regard to maintenance and
landscaping for parkways.
Mr. Orenyak responded that if it is in the public
right-of-way the City will maintain it.
The Assistant City Attorney explained that the Manual
establishes what the development must look like when it is
finished, and the parkways are the obligation of the house
owner.
Member McCoy referenced page 11 of the Manual, under
"Screening of Parking Areas," and inquired regarding
same.
Mr. Orenyak responded that the intent of the section is
for front yards where there is frontage.
The Committee recommended that screening walls be put on
the property line, and suggested the wording be revised to
read, "That screen walls on property in the rear yard
setbacks shall be on the property line, or adjacent to the
property line; and on front yard setbacks where it faces a
public right-of-way there shall be a minimum setback of 5
feet from the screen fence."
Michael Holzmiller explained that the first paragraph
refers to interior property lines, and requires a wall or
fence 4 feet or more in height shall be maintained. It
then refers to setbacks that are unattainable, and there
is a requirement for a decorative masonry wall. He added
that the third paragraph should be taken in conjunction
with the first paragraph.
Member McCoy referred to page 17 of the Manual, under
"Village Center - Location," and "Elm Avenue - Location,"
and suggested the deletion of "Exhibit B."
The Committee recommended the deletion of all references
to "Exhibit B" on page 17 of the Manual.

Member McCoy suggested that all references to Beach
Avenue be changed to Christensen Way, due to the recently
approved street name change.
With regard to page 2, paragraph 2 under "Objectives of
the Design Manual," the Committee recommended that the
word "reviewed" be changed to "viewed. 'I
Chairman Hayes referenced the Table of Contents, and
expressed her opinion that the section for off-street
parking areas should contain an introduction also, making
it consistent with other sections.
Following discussion, the Committee recommended that the
"Introduction" be deleted from Sections VI11 and XI, and
the text on page 14 of the Manual.
Chairman Hayes suggested that the names of the Committee
Members on page 1 of the Manual be changed to current
Committee Members. She further suggested that Kennith
Chriss and Frankie Gene Runzo be included as past
members. The Committee concurred.
The Committee recommended adoption of the Village Design
Manual to the Planning Commission and Housing and
Redevelopment Commission, as amended.
ORDINANCE - Village Redevelopment Zone
Dan Hentschke, Assistant City Attorney, gave a staff
report on the matter, indicating that the intent of the
ordinance is to expedite the development plan in the
Redevelopment Area. He continued to outline the
application process provided by the proposed ordinance.
Member Ward indicated that he views the process as
effectively putting the Housing and Redevelopment Advisory
Committee out of the day to day operation of reviewing
projects in the Redevelopment Area. He added that it
turns the responsibility over to the Planning Commission
as the advisory body in that area, and the role of the
Committee changes to regulatory, promotion, and funding.
Mr. Ward continued that he is concerned that the
redevelopment agency is again to be an advocate of
redevelopment, and he views the structure outlined by the
Attorey as putting the redevelopment process back into the
hands of regulators and not advocates.
Mr. Hentschke responded that the role of the Committee as
an advocate does not change. The difference is the
Design Review Board is called a regulator under the
redevelopment plan. He added that the Committee will be
involved in funding.

Member Ward expressed his opinion that the Redevelopment
Advisory Committee has a better opportunity to interpret
the Design Manual than the Planning Commission, unless
there will be input at the Staff level.
Mr. Orenyak responded that the Redevelopment Program
Manager will provide the staff report with input from the
Planning Department.
Committee discussion related to the role of the Committee
under the newly proposed ordinance, and the purpose and
composition of the Design Review Board.
Member Hall suggested that the Planning Commission have
the authority to approve a project, no matter what the
size, with ten days for Council appeal. He added that he
would like to see the Design Review Board have more
authority in order to shorten the process, and suggested
that the Committee consider holding a meeting with the
Planning Commission on the matter.
Following discussion, the Committee recommended the
adoption of ZCA-140/ZC-257, subject to the following:
1. That the Design Review Board be made up of two
representatives from the Planning Commission,
two representatives from the Housing and
Redevelopment Advisory Committee, the Director
of Building and Housing, and a member of the
City Counci 1.
Mr. Hentschke responded that he does not believe the Plan
will allow a City employee to serve on the Design Review
Board as a voting member, and indicated he would check
into same.
