ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF CITIZENS: Jesse Rankin, Director of Municipal Operations; and Matt, Tammy and Kyle Baldwin, By the Yard, Inc. NEW BUSINESS. G1. Discussion and possible action on annual site plan review and progress update for 105 & 109 Brooke Court, By the Yard, Inc. The stormwater management plan has been completed and submitted by Martenson & Eisele, Inc.. However, By the Yard has changed the direction of its original plans to immediately develop 105 Brooke Court and will instead continue development at 109 Brooke Court. Overall project costs have been higher than expected during the transition to the new location. Recently, Kyle left his previous position to focus full- time on the business. Site development will continue at 109 Brooke Court, where excavation has already begun and material piles have been placed. The overall project is expected to take approximately three to five years to complete, with construction of the scale house building anticipated by 2027. Installation of the material bins has been delayed due to increased costs.

The Plan Commission expressed its desire to revisit the progress of the business and site development in one year.
