Meeting Date 1 28 91 Agenda Item /~ CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion of the proposed land use plan and po ides wi red Hoisington, Planning Consultant and the public SUBMITTED BY: Planning Commission REVIEWED BY: Fred Hoisington, Diane Klausner, Hoisington Group City Staff Solid Waste Commission Human Rights Commission Parks and Recreation Commission Planning Commission Susan Hoyt, City Planner EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION: At its December 17, 1990 meeting the Planning Commission revised the proposed land use plan and policies for the comprehensive plan. The Hoisington Group, City staff, and City Commissions received copies of the revised plan and policies. The City Planner met with each Commission to discuss the proposed land use plan and policies in detail. • As of this writing no major changes are recommended by the above parties. Fred Hoisington suggested withdrawing the reference to the elaborate trail system mapped out in the park plan under #5 of the park policies and return to the 11/13/90 policy statement regarding trails, because he prefers a comprehensive plan to focus on very pragmatic, intrametropolitan linkages rather than on an idealized system throughout the City. Also, the park plan does not include a path along Larpenteur which is a major link for bicyclists. This will be discussed with the Park and Recreation Commission on Tuesday, January 22, 1991. A revision in the policy going back to "build trails as an integral part of upgrading collector streets and minor arterial streets" may appear in the final draft. Notice of the Planning Commission meeting will be mailed to all community forum participants. Copies of the final draft of the proposed policies dated 1/28/91 will be available upon request and at the meeting. ACTION REQUESTED 1. Fred Hoisington will discuss the policies and plan with the commission and the public. 2. Recommend revisions, if desired. •
