The key discussions centered on several agenda items. The Commission recommended the Village Board approve a Conditional Use Permit Application for a change of ownership for the retail store, Past Basket, located at 383 W Brown Deer Road. Furthermore, the Commission recommended approval for a modification to the wireless telecommunications mobile service facilities at 7200 N. Santa Monica Blvd., which included increasing the tower height by 20 feet and collocating facilities, contingent upon obtaining landowner license and engineering review. A separate consideration regarding a license for the use of Village-owned land at 7200 N. Santa Monica Blvd. for collocation of telecommunications facilities was tabled for further review by the Village Attorney and Interim Village Manager in consultation with the applicant.

The public information meeting focused on the Beach Drive Coastal Resiliency Project. Key updates detailed the project's evolution since Fall 2021, including clarifications from the WDNR regarding acceptable revetment slopes (3:1 allowed). The presentation included existing versus proposed cross-sections and plan views for the North and South Sites, detailing emergency block walls and splash aprons. Landscaping plans involve adding 13 new trees, planting a perennial mix, and adding public access points. Storm water improvements include utilizing the revetment and extending a culvert. The anticipated schedule projects a bid award by October 11, with work completion required by September 2023. The Village is planning to replace the water main concurrently, noting that the project costs are supported by a FEMA grant of approximately $1.6 million within a total budget of $2.5 million.
