1. Approval of the Springfield Development Code Amendment Project Phase 2 Work Plan
Mr. Karp provided an overview of the work plan as outlined in the memorandum entitled Planning
Commission/Committee for Citizen Involvement Approval of the Springfield Development Code Amendment
Project Phase 2 Work Plan. He said that the work plan had been presented to the City Council on the previous
night and that council had approved the work plan.
Mr. Karp related that draft language was being prepared, a work shop was planned, and that the interested parties list
would include landscape architects and nursery workers in order to provide better input regarding proposed changes
in code that governs landscaping.
Commissioner Beyer asked if this would provide an opportunity to examine doing some things such as
installing drywells or paving all parking lots. Mr. Karp responded that the Public Works Department had just
printed a design manual that would address these things. It was noted that the goal of the design manual was
to encourage the treatment of water before it became run-off and went into the storm water system. He
added that this phase was focusing on landscaping in order not to “short circuit” the project.
Commissioner Carpenter suggested that the interested parties list include biologists and wetlands experts. Mr.
Karp agreed to consider adding them to the list.
The Springfield Planning Commission – Committee for Citizen Involvement voted unanimously
to approve the Springfield Development Code Amendment Project Phase 2 Work Plan.
