COMMENTS
Planning Director Wagner pointed out the Planning Department's Work in Progress Report
which had been included in the packet. He said the report would be updated every two weeks
and would be distributed to the City Commission, the City Manager and department heads and
asked members if they wished to receive it each time it is updated or only when packets are sent
to them. It was the consensus of the board that the report be distributed along with members'
packets.
Mr. Wagner said two upcoming projects of particular interest are a new apartment project at
Plantation Grove and a Super WalMart. In response to members concerns about the road impact
of a Super WalMart, Mr. Wagner said that a traffic study will be one of staff's first requests
in the Pre - application Conference.
