Chairman Richard Rogers called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. Keith Youngquist made a motion to approve
the minutes of the September 25, 2008 meeting and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The minutes were
approved 5-0 with Marlys Haaland abstaining. After hearing one previous case, Chairman Rogers introduced
Case PZ-07-08, a request for a Plat of Vacation and Plat of Consolidation at 1,2, 13, 14,25,26,37,38 Judith Ann
Drive, at 7:59 p.m.
Brian Simmons, Deputy Director of Community Development, stated two plats were up for review. The first was
a Plat of Vacation for the right-of-way of Judith Ann Drive. The second was a Plat of Consolidation after vacating
the right-of-way.
Mr. Simmons provided a timeline of Judith Ann Drive improvements. The Village reconstructed Judith Ann
Drive with Federal Grants in 2001 and 2002. After the road was reconstructed, the Village worked with the
adjacent homeowners in the area to establish a homeowners association. This was done so the Village could
eventually turn this road over to the association for ownership and maintenance.
Mr. Simmons stated over the past four years, negotiations have gone back and forth with Village attorneys and
Association attorneys. The Plat of Vacation was never executed at that time determining how the land would be
transferred. In that time period, the Village enforced overnight parking regulations. Communication resumed and
that has brought both Plats to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Simmons showed the Plat of Vacation. He said when a right-of-way is vacated; it goes to the neighboring
properties. In this case, it would go to the eight properties that surround the right-of-way. Through an agreement
with the property owners, they would turn over their portion of the right-of-way to the Homeowners Association
through negotiations with the Village.

Mr. Simmons stated once the right-of-way is vacated, the Plat of Consolidation would consolidate the eight
parcels into one single lot of record that would be owned by the Homeowners Association. The association would
be held responsible for the maintenance of the right-of-way.
Mr. Simmons said Staff has reviewed the plats and recommended approval of the motion listed in the Staff
Report.
Chairman Rogers restated that the Village would be vacating a portion of this street in front of the eight
townhomes and turning the property over to the association for maintenance. He said the purpose of this was to
accommodate parking for the dwelling units. Mr. Simmons confirmed that this was correct.
Joseph Donnelly made a motion to approve case number PZ-07-08, a Plat of Vacation of a Public Road and a Plat
of Consolidation of Vacated Judith Ann Drive, benefiting the properties located at 1 Judith Ann Drive, 2 Judith
Ann Drive, 13 Judith Ann Drive, 14 Judith Ann Drive, 25 Judith Ann Drive, 26 Judith Ann Drive, 37 Judith Ann
Drive, and 38 Judith Ann Drive. Keith Youngquist seconded the motion.
