WOULD -NOT REQUIRE REVIEW OF THE TECHNICAL rREVIEW COMMITTEE IF THE NUMBER OF UNITS WERE LESS THAN 25. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE SUBDIVISIONS REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT THEY BE REVIEWED BY THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. MR. -MARSH FELT THAT SUBDIVISIONS WERE INADVERTENTLY INCLUDED AND THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR INTENT TO EXEMPT THEM FROM REVIEW BY THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. THE BOARD CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED NUMBER OF 24 UNITS, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED HOW YOU ASSURE THAT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TECHNICAL REVIEW GETS IT. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE BOARD COULD SIMPLY APPROVE THE TOP HALF OF THE PAGE RELATING TO MINOR SITE PLAN APPROVAL AND DO MORE STUDY ON THE SUGGESTED ADDITIONAL CRITERIA. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ARE CONCEPTUALLY APPROVING SOMETHING THAT WILL COME BACK INTO THE ORDINANCE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE QUESTIONED THE NEED FOR THE SECTION ENTITLED ADDITIONAL CRITERIA, AND MR. MARSH NOTED THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO ESTABLISH A SET CRITERIA FOR THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE LIKES THE IDEA THAT THE APPLICANT FEELS HE HAS TO GO BEFORE A TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE. THE FACT THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SAY THIS ONE DOES GO OR DOES NOT GO IS NOT IMPORTANT, AND SHE DID NOT WANT TO FOOL WITH NUMBERS AND HAVE PEOPLE FEEL THEY CAN GET AROUND GOING THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AGREED THAT HE WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO FEEL THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE AND THEN LEAVE IT TO THE DISCRETION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT IF IT IS A VERY MINOR THING, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO BEFORE THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, AND MR. MARSH IS TRYING TO PUT THAT IN WRITING. HE DID UNDERSTAND THE BOARDS CONCERN. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED THAT THEY DID NOT WISH TO SET UP THIS CRITERIA, BUT WOULD RATHER LEAVE IT TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE ADMINISTRATORS DISCRETION.
