Planning commission votes to recommend Franklin master plan to village council
Summary
After a public hearing with no public speakers, the planning commission voted by voice to adopt the Village of Franklin master plan and recommend adoption by resolution to the village council; commissioners asked that the plan be revisited for engagement after the next election cycle.
The Village of Franklin Planning Commission on Dec. 10 voted to adopt the village master plan and to recommend that the Village Council adopt the plan by resolution.
Chris, the presenter, told the commission the action requested was straightforward: "the action that really, we're requesting that you take is to adopt the master plan by resolution and recommend adoption to the village council." The commission had opened and closed a public hearing on the update; the record shows no public commenters signed up to speak.
Commissioner Quincy Harrison made the motion to adopt the master plan and recommend council adoption by resolution; Sarah Greslick seconded. Chair called for the voice vote and commissioners answered "Aye," with no recorded opposition in the transcript. The meeting transcript records a voice vote but does not provide a roll-call tally.
Commissioners noted the plan covers a five-year horizon, discussed the long drafting history and turnover among council members since the process began, and recommended an interim public engagement effort once any newly elected trustees are seated. Chair proposed revisiting engagement in February 2027, after the next election cycle, so that new council members can weigh in before the next five-year update.
The commission scheduled its next regular meeting for Jan. 21, 2026. The commission’s recommendation will move to the village council for consideration; the transcript does not record a council date or final adoption by council.
