<br /> <br /> <br />Questions/Comments from Commission members and responses included: <br /> <br />- Is this the same design as previously shown to the Commission? Mr. Greatens: <br />At the November meeting an update was provided which showed the change <br />from the trolley stop in front of the post office. <br />- <br />when this project was originally reviewed, the Conditional Use Permit had not <br />been submitted. Now, a recommendation to the Plan Commission is required <br />regarding the CUP. While the design was reviewed and approved, this is for the <br />CUP application, and a different procedural component of the overall review. <br />- Is the Commission just looking at traffic impact? Mr. Lai: The CUP is not just <br />about traffic impact alone, but also impact on historic langmarks and districts as <br />recommendation as it relates to historic landmarks and districts. While other <br />criteria are considered for CUPs, HPC role is more related to impact on historic <br />districts. If there are concerns about traffic, it could be included in the <br />recommendation to Plan Commission. <br />- The only <br />project previously approved? Is the Commission voting on it again? Mr. Lai: The <br />previous approval still stands. This could also be included in the <br />recommendation to Plan Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai stated that, regarding the public hearing, the official public hearing would be held <br />before the Plan Commission. Tonight is not a public hearing, but if there are public <br />comments, it would be at the discretion of the Chairperson to hear them. However, this <br />is not an official public hearing. <br /> <br />Questions/Comments from Commission members and responses included: <br /> <br />- Regarding what was included in the packet, was it an unofficial report on traffic? <br />It sounds like there is more information coming? Should the HPC wait until all <br />facts are submitted? Mr. Lai: That is a possibility if that is the desire of the <br />Commission. If there are any other thoughts or comments, they should be <br />presented. <br />- Would like to keep things moving forward. If design documents are yet to be <br />submitted, perhaps the Commission should wait, or it could be included in the <br />recommendation. Mr. Lai: Any additional information could be brought to the <br />HPC when submitted. <br /> <br />Joe Edwards with the Loop Trolley Company, the applicant, addressed the HPC and <br />explained some background information about the proposal and how the project has <br />gotten to this point. <br /> <br />Questions/Comments from Commission members and responses included: <br /> <br />- Going back to prior review, only part of the trolley project is under HPC purview, <br />correct? Not the entire trolley line? Mr. Greatens: At the July 2012 HPC <br />36 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
