Roll Call Vote:  Commissioner Cherwin, Drost, Ennes, Green, Jensen, Sigalos and Commissioner Lorenzini voted in favor.  Motion carried.

Commissioner Drost Comment:  I guess I'm not as concerned about aesthetics. I think it's going to be market that will control how the detention lot is going to be developed and how the homes are going to be developed, but that the individual testimony that was provided by the residents and their concerns, that they be used in the development of these three remaining conditions.

Commissioner Sigalos Comment: Yes, I'm voting yes only on the stipulation that this Kennicott Road issue is developed to the satisfaction of the Engineering Department and the Fire Department, and we don't have any life safety issues there that the Village could be liable for in the future.
