Csete, Township Administrator, and those on the attached list were present.

Mr. Kuhn announced an Executive Session was held prior to this evening’s meeting to discuss real estate matters, and there will be short Executive Session following tonight’s meeting, to discuss personnel matters.
Robert Bown, Industrial Investments, introduced himself as a property owner in the LI-1 District who is concerned about the proposed zoning change to that district. He owns two multi-tenant buildings along Phoenixville Pike, and with the new ordinance, prospective tenants would need to obtain conditional use approval for nearly any use. He asked the Board to consider businesses like his, who engage in the renting of LI space, and asked them to make some distinction between light and heavy industrial uses.
Mr. Hogan moved to approve the November 1, 2004 minutes, and Mr. Philips seconded. Mr. Kuhn noted one correction to the penultimate paragraph on page 5, to be changed from “Mr. Kuhn said he would like the committee to have a group of people to recommend by the first Board meeting in December”, to “Mr. Kuhn said he would like Mr. Philips to have a group of people to recommend by the first Board meeting in December.” Mr. Kuhn called for discussion, and there being none, called the vote. All were in favor.
The hearing was opened and continued to December 20, 2004, 7:30 P.M. at the Great Valley Middle School, 255 N. Phoenixville Pike, Malvern, Pa 19355, Room 154.
