The Planning Commission is currently made up of appointees Mitch Agner, Roger Edwards, Tim Essinger, Mayor Rich Johnson and council member Mitch Kingsley.
Also present were Zoning Board of Appeals members Tom Downey, Deron Geiser (not present, member Tony Pinks), as well as Village Administrator Jesse Blackburn and Assistant Village Administrator Bryan Lloyd.
Blackburn presented a preliminary site plan for a five triplex development around a pond (which has already been dug) at 721 N.
