Summary of Proceedings

Erie Planning Commission Meeting - December 1, 2021

The Planning Commission met virtually on December 1, 2021, at 6:31 PM. The primary agenda item was a public hearing for the Spring Hill PD - Planned Development (Resolution P21-25). However, due to public confusion about the meeting location (many residents gathered at Town Hall expecting an in-person meeting), the commission unanimously voted to continue the hearing to the December 15, 2021 meeting. The meeting also included routine approvals and discussions about meeting notice language.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of Agenda: Unanimously approved (6-0) with a roll call vote.
  • Approval of Minutes: Unanimously approved (6-0) for the November 17, 2021 Planning Commission meeting.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Amber Strevey (speaking for a group of ~20 people at Town Hall) expressed confusion about the virtual meeting and requested postponement so they could attend in person.
  • Larry Fiegland stated that the mailed public notice said “Erie Town Hall Boardroom or Via Zoom,” leading many to believe the meeting would be in person. He requested the commission follow the notice or reschedule.

Discussion Items

  • Spring Hill PD - Public Hearing Continuation: Chair Zuniga initially proposed a straw poll; commissioners voted 4-2 to hear the item that night (Commissioners Ames, Luthi, Witt, Hoback in favor). However, after further public comment, a motion to postpone the item to December 15, 2021 was made by Commissioner Hoback, seconded by Commissioner Luthi, and passed unanimously (6-0). The public hearing was then formally opened at 6:52 PM and immediately continued to the December 15 meeting.
  • Meeting Notice Clarification: Following the continuance, the Commission discussed the wording of mailed notices. Commissioner Sawusch asked to see the exact notice language. The notice read “Erie Town Hall Boardroom or via Zoom.” Staff noted that the option was due to the possibility of a hybrid meeting. Commissioners requested adding clarifying language directing people to the website to verify the meeting location. It was noted that while the commission had been fully virtual, the hybrid option was new.

Key Outcomes

  • Unanimous Vote: Agenda Item 21-513 (Spring Hill PD – Planned Development) was continued to the December 15, 2021 Planning Commission meeting. The public hearing was opened and continued to that date certain.
  • Directive: Staff will update the mailing notice language to direct recipients to the town’s agenda center to confirm whether the meeting will be in person or virtual.
  • Next Steps: The December 15 meeting will include the continued Spring Hill PD public hearing, plus public hearings for King Super's site plan and Erie Junction preliminary plat, and a study session on the comprehensive plan.
