Packet Material 2
 
David Williams, OV Planning Division Manager presented the following:

Included in the packet was a summary of the Town Council action from the December 1, 2010.  Town Council voted (7-0) to adopt the new Conceptual Design Review Board (CDRB), which combines Development Review Board and Art Review Commission functions. The composition of CDRB was modified by Council action to include seven voting citizen members to be Town residents.  Current members of the DRB are invited to apply for a position on the CDRB.  

Member Ottley asked how many members are on the Art Review Commission.
Mr. Williams responded with seven.

Chairman Schoeppach commented according to the time line, sometime in March or April the current DRB board will be eliminated and the new board will be established.
Mr. Williams said the Town expects the DRB and ARC to continue functioning through April.  

Chairman Schoeppach commented on the importance of understanding the timeline and the expectations of the board to continue to do the work that we have been doing until all of the modifications have been established. 

Member Ottley asked what the target date is for having code revisions completed.
Mr. Williams said in terms of a staff draft we are looking at February but in terms of adoption by Council staff is looking at early April.

Member Ottley commented that he did not see what the training, expectations and changes will be for the CDRB.
Mr. Williams responded that has been discussed internally and we are expecting to use the month of April to provide training for the new appointed members as well as staff.

Member Ottley asked what the anticipated frequency of meetings is for this commission.
Mr. Williams said twice a month, second and fourth Tuesday of the month as needed, but once a month is anticipated.

Chairman Schoeppach commented that he personally and other board members as well would be more than willing to assist in terms of reviewing drafts of code changes.
