Jones moved and Baker seconded to open PC 2011-01. Unanimous voice vote approval.
Ms. Barksdale-Noble said the Kendall County Fair Association filed an application to
rezone their unincorporated property. Currently they are zoned A-1 Special Use and the
B-4 requested is specific to their needs. The County encouraged the Association to seek
this rezoning to release them from A-1 that has strict criteria for density, use and
setbacks, etc and based on their needs. It was noted the County B-4 differs from the City
B-4. This Commission has been asked to forward any comments or concerns. It was
noted the request is compatible with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.

Ms. Barksdale-Noble said that the previous Community Development Director had
provided this deadline information and she updated it. Crouch recommended against
having a meeting on Ash Wednesday, but overall said the second Wednesday of the
month works well. He said detailed deadlines are beneficial for developers to avoid very
late submittals as in the past.
