Commission discusses packed Trenton agenda, leans toward handling items in single February meeting
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a crowded upcoming agenda — including Prince Square PUD amendments, Britain Square replat, Arlington Park septic issues and other subdivision items — and, after weighing public‑notice and attendance concerns, indicated they would likely keep the items on the regular Feb. 9 meeting rather than add a second February meeting.
Commissioners spent part of the meeting reviewing and planning how to handle a heavy upcoming agenda that includes multiple subdivisions, a plan‑unit‑development amendment for townhomes, at least one replat and site adjustments related to an on‑site septic discovery.
A commissioner identified the items by name and type and said the Prince Square filing will seek a PUD amendment to adjust townhome dimensional offsets from a 5‑foot requirement to a 3‑foot offset to accommodate 46‑foot building lengths. The same speaker listed a Britain Square replat and a replat related to utility alignment near an eastern curb line, and said Arlington Park’s issue arose after a septic tank was discovered during site work.
Commissioners debated whether to split those items into multiple meetings or to add a second February meeting to ease meeting length and public engagement. One concern raised was that adding an extra meeting could make it harder to notify the public in time; proponents of a single meeting said many of the items involve routine construction adjustments and should move through relatively quickly. Ultimately commissioners indicated a preference to proceed with the regularly scheduled meeting rather than adding another February session.
The commission confirmed the next meeting date as Monday, Feb. 9, with a standard start time discussed during the meeting. No formal vote was recorded on how to schedule the items.
