– Requiring recycling of demolition and construction waste.
5:30 PM PLAN COMMISSION ROOM 201 CCB
– Shady Wood Neighborhood Development Plan – the plan the common council rejected at their last meeting.
– Possible update on the Zoning Code Rewrite special and overlay districts
– The first neighborhood conservation district (East Wilson/Schley Pass/Dewey Court)- its crazy it took this long, this was one of the items that Judy Olson worked on when she was on the council two terms ago.
– Demolition of Madison’s only bus depot and new apartment buildings to be built.
– Re-approving Autumn Lake, which was so urgent to get passed 5 years ago . . . this is the second time the PUD has been renewed.

– Should certain committees be able to directly introduce something to the council for consideration.
5:30 PM COMMON COUNCIL – DISCUSSION ROOM 201 CCB

-#6 Thornton, Jenifer, Cantwell development project & 7
– #12 Autumn Lake – 5 years later.

– #21 & 48 – Approving budget and accepting improvements for work already done at Monona Terrace
