Also in attendance were: Village Manager Michael R. Couzzo Jr., Village Attorney Keith Davis, Village Clerk Lori McWilliams, and Department Heads. APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION Council Member Humpage moved approval of the agenda; seconded by Council Member Turnquest; motion carried unanimously 5 -0. Approval of Agenda 1. Discussion and Action to Allow Concurrent Processing of Development Orders, Text Amendments, Special Exception Requests, and Site Plan Applications by Applicants — Manager Couzzo explained that the applicant had requested the Village accelerate the review process of their special exception application. He indicated that granting the request would change the expectation of the text amendment. Larry Smith, Attorney for the applicant noted the request was not about the upcoming text amendment, only the desire for the review process to begin. Village Attorney Keith Davis pointed out that a special exception has to be processed prior to the site plan. Mayor Pat Watkins recalled preceding advertisements and felt persons who had concerns should have voiced so previously. She added that there were very few properties that would fit this use. Council Member Humpage commented on information received previously from Village Attorney Trela White regarding law amendments and requirements regarding concurrent processing of comp plans and zoning amendments. Attorney Davis responded that a special exception application for a use that did not exist was unacceptable as was a site plan without the special exception. He stated that each step must be approved in the correct sequence.
