I,arpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, MN ~~ 113 Uear Susan: [ am pleased to submit a proposal to assist the City in updating its Comprehensive i~tunicipttl Plan. In response to your request for qualifications, Iwill attempt to provide you with a brief description of our past experience. I have included, at the end of the proposal, copies of lists of communities i:;~ which we have provided municipal planniny~ services. I have <rlso included examples of Comprehensive Plans and Plan Updates that we have prepared. Qualifications Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban, Inc. (DSU) consists of individuals with backgrounds in urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental planning, and graphic design. We have prepared Comprehensive Plans and Plan Updates for communities of varying size, location, and age throughout the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. In addition, DSU provides technical assistance to several communities. This assistance includes the review of proposed developments to ensure their consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance of the City. We also work with a number of private developers, seeking approvals for development projects. Our experience with both the public and private sides of the development approval process allows us to bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to our work in comprehensive planning. Tn addition to our experience with other communities, in the past we have enjoyed a successful professional relationship with the City of Falcon Heights. Through our work with Falcon Heights, we have become familiar with its planning and development history, as well as the current Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. • ~~ Susan Hoyt Taft, 26 February 1990 Page 2 Approach Before proceeding with the remainder of this proposal, a brief discussion of our experience regerC m t rehensive Plan Update work for Falcon Heightsp explain our approach to th p The value of a comprehensive plan comes from realization of the goals established within it. For this to happen, the City's Staff and decision makers must understand the Comprehensive Plan and be very familiar with its contents in order to ensure that its poL'cies are implemented. In short, the plan must be used. While it is imperative that the information of the Plan be thorough and accurate and its goals and policies be insightful, it must also be concise and easy to work with, or it tends to be forgotten. For this reason, we encourage that the City consider including maps, tables, and other graphic devices in the format of the Comprehensive Plan Update to make it more readable. This format would be especially helpful in the inventory section of the report, where utility locations, existing land uses, roadways, and demographic information is presented. Since revising this information was already part of the Scope of this project and since conditions have probably not changed significantly, improving the format of the report would be relatively inexpensive. With this in mind, we offer the attached proposal for professional planning services. Sincerely DAHLG`Et_ EN, SHARDLOW, A^ND UBAi'v, INC. ~/' N ~ ~/ ' ~~ ~~ , Timothy G. Malloy, Planner ~,~ TGM/gms 7 26 February 1990 Susan Hoyt Taft, City Planner City of Falcon Heights ?077 W. Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, MN 55113 PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL PLANNING SERVICES OBJECTIVE The objective of the CONSULTANT'S services will be to assist the Planning Commission and City Staff throu~~h the process of updating and simplifying their Comprehensive Municipal Plan to reflect the current conditions within the City and the aspirations of its residents. The product of this work will be a document, including text and ~ aphics, that will provide a concise summary of the current land use and demographic conditions ~~ithin the community, as well as establish clear, insinhtful goals and policies to wide future land use and zoning decisions. In addition, the study will focus on planning issues related to public facilities, transportation, and redevelopment opportunities. The format of the document will be such as to encourage its use and be easily and relatively inexpensively reproduced.

Land Use - 100 units of elderly, moderate rent housing ($427- 695/mo. rent) in a three story, wood frame building 45 feet high with underground parking. 2. Location - approximately 3.3 acres of vacant land north of City Hall. (Originally part of the Stratford Office Park, now owned by Commercial State Bank.) 3. Zoning - B-1, multi-family residential housing is allowed in a B-1 Zone as a conditional use. However, the proposal does not meet the 12 units/acre density requirement in the comprehensive plan and zoning code. 4. Project cost - $5 million (need at least $3.8 million to pay off TIF bonds). 5. Financing - The developer proposes to use Community Development Block Grant funds toward the purchase of the land. Additional funds for the land purchase may be requested as a loan from the City. COMMENTS: 1. Neighbors - several property owners abutting the site attended the meeting to hear the proposal. The group generally supported the concept of elderly housing on the site. However, there was concern over the 45 foot height, which exceeds the zoning code, and may damage the view from some homes. 6/24/87 • • i Y 2. Land Use - a. residential use is a good use for the site, which acts as a buffer between a single family neighborhood, Falcon Woods, and Larpenteur Avenue. b. This project does not include the two existing office buildings in the area, which are not completed nor operating at full capacity. Developing around them may create chronic "white elephants". 3. Financial - The financial package is very tentative. Although Community Development Block Grant funds may be granted by the County for this specific project, providing more city funding in addition to the current TIF investment must be seriously considered. ACTION REQUESTED For your information. C~ January 31, 1990 • ADDENDUM TO TBE PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 5, 1990 Item E-1 : A public hearing on a Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an Off-Sale Liquor Store at 1557 West Larpenteur Avenue in a B2 Zone. 1) Correction to Background Section - Replace second sentence with the following sentence: Mr. Dennis Hunt withdrew his application for a conditional use permit because he had not paid his property taxes on the property, and, therefore, was not eligible for a municipal liquor _license. 2) Addition to Recommendations: Checklist of general and special requirements for granting a conditional use permit for a liquor store in a B-2 zone - 9-15.04 Subdivisions 3(a) (page 111-112) (See Attachment C) My review of the list: Because the proposed conditional use is already in an established shopping center, a number of the criteria are already met or not applicable. The proposed use • should not be a major traffic generator nor create a parking problem. When an applicant meets all of the conditions of the Zoning Code for a Conditional Use Permit, the application must be granted.

General and Special Requirements: The Planning Commission and/or Council shall consider to what extent the applicant's plan minimizes • possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use, what modifications to the plan and what conditions on approval could further minimize the adverse effects of the proposed use. The Following development standards shall be considered general requirements for all conditional use permits except as hereinafter provided• ,/ (1) The land area and setback requirements of the property containing such a use or activity meet the minimums established for the district. ~/ (2) When abutting a residential use, the property shall be screened and landscaped. ~ (3) Where applicable, all City, county, state and federal laws, regulations and ordinances shall be complied with and all necessary i~ciucle ~ permits secured. i ~ Cu,.d.~~rrxs =;i• (4) Signs shall not adversely impact adjoining or surrounding residential uses. ~nlee~l-f~ iec~~:ew •!,~ Mee+ {~.~5,-5„L,yd~., (5) Adequate off-road parking and loading shall be provided. Such parking and loading shall be screened and landscaped from abutting residential uses. ,/(6) The road serving the use or activity must be of sufficient design to accommodate the proposed use or activity, and such use or activity shall not generate such additional extra traffic as to create a nuisance or hazard to existing traffic or to surrounding land use. ~(7) All aceeas roads, driveways, parking areas, and outside storage, service, or sales areas shall be surfaced or grassed to control dust and drainage. N~a (8) All open and outdoor storage, sales and service areas shall be screened from view from public streets and Prom abutting residential uses or districts. (9) All lighting shall be designed to prevent any direct source of light being visible Prom adjacent residential areas or from the public streets. (10) The use or activity shall be properly drained to control surface water runoff. ' x/(11) The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence. 2) The proposed water, sewer and other utilities shall be capable of accommodating the proposed use. /Cf3) That the proposed use conforms to the comprehensive municipal plan. Su eh a finding shall be based upon the following considerations: (a) That certain uses may not be considered appropriate within the interior of residential neighborhoods because of noise, traffic, or other conditions that.wuld tend to affect .adversely the residential character of the neighborhood and possible reduce property values. These uses are considered appropriate only on the periphery of residential neighborhoods, or under such conditions as the Planning Commission may deem proper. The uses may represent ^buffer" . uses for those areas lying between single family dwellings and non-residential uses. (b) That certain uses are considered, as a rule, unsuitable in Business Districts because of inherent business characteristics (e.g. traffic, noise, glare), proximity to residential areas, the Pact that they tend not to serve nearby residential areas, or may adversely affect nearby permitted business uses. i~• BARlNEER51 i1RCHITECT51 PLANNERS February 23,1990 D i~ • u i~ 3535 VADNAISCENTER DRIVE, SI PAUL, A~INNESOTA 55110 612 490-2000 Ms. Susan Hoyt Taff, City Planner City of Falcon Heights 2077 West Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, Minnesota 55113-5594 Dear Ms. Hoyt Taff: Attachment 4 Agenda Item 3 We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to update the Comprehensive Municipal Plan for the City of Falcon Heights.

Proposal for Comprehensive Municipal Plan Revision Project Approach Project Approach A successful Comprehensive Municipal Plan offers direction to the City of Falcon Heights while preserving its unique features and character. The plan serves as a foundation for City guidelines such as zoning and a "course of action for planning activities like infrastructure management, environmental concerns, land-use guidelines/policies, transportation, economic development and park system analysis. Our project approach and work plan responds to items identified in the Request for Proposal, our understanding of the Falcon Heights community, and information obtained during discussions with City staff. In addition, the valuabel process of incorporating City officials and public input is also highlighted. Key contacts and meetings with agencies such as Metropolitan Council, University of Minnesota, State Fair Grounds and Ramsey County are also emphasized. We propose a Five-Phase Work Program and Schedule. Our project tasks concentrate on updating existing relevant sections of the Comprehensive Municipal Plan and developing new planning elements and land-use policies that address current and future City needs. We will undertake extensive research and analysis that results in a "timely" and "useable" planning document. Scheduled meetings and workshops will be conducted to obtain input from City officials, staff, and citizens. The five phases of the Work Program are: Phase I: Review Existing Plan/Data Phase II: Setting Goals/Consensus-Building Woirkshops Phase III: Research and Analyze Data Phase IV: Formulate Policies Phase V: Draft Comprehensive Municipal Plan Update • Short-Elliott-Hendrickson, Inc.

EXPERIENCE Hoisington Group Inc. (HGI) has considerable experience with Land Use and Transportation Studies, Economic Feasibility Studies and Redevelopment and TIF Plans as follows: City of Waconia MN; Comprehensive Plan. HGI has just completed the public hearing draft of the Waconia Comprehensive Plan. Waconia has a population of approximately 3,500 people and a land area of approx- imately 1,100 acres. The planning process included three carefully designed community forums to take public input. City of Chanhassen MN; Year 2000 Land Use and Transportation Study. This recently completed study encompassed nearly the entire City of Chanhassen and was designed specifically to establish a land use and transportation plan for the City. Major issues addressed by the study included downtown access and connections to the regional highway system (Trunk Highways 5 and 212). i~Ir. Hoisington was responsible for land use pianning and project management. City of Shakopee 11~IN; Race Track District Land Use and Transportation Study. The study area included approximately 1,800 acres. Its purpose was to identify uses that were compatible with the race track and to establish a plan and a race track zoning district. In that there was considerable factionalism among the adjacent property owners, a unique process was designed to resolve conflict while maximizing landowner decision maker and public input. The Plan was adopted , on schedule by tine City Planning Commission on April 24, 1986. St. Peter Revitalization Inc. St. Peter MN; Economic Feasibility Study. This project encompasses more than 12 blocks of downtown St. Peter and was commissioned by St. Peter Revitalization Inc. to identify realistic redevelopment and revitalization options. It included a downtown shopping center plan and a market analysis designed to identify tl~e market potential for retail and office uses in downtown. It also included personal interviews with individual landowners and an interactive CBD Focus Group Program for key businesspersons, Gustavus Adolphus College . officials and City decision makers. ~~GO '~IeTro ?Ivd. • quite ~~5 • ;'•Ainneaoolis. j~1N X54^5 • !Si2) 33o-~G6G Old Town and City of Champlin MN; Redevelopment and TIF Plans for Brittany Square. This project included the planning for and the preparation of Redevelopment, Feasibility and TIF Plans for two very large areas of Champlin. HGI was the lead firm providing land use planning and project management services. City of Chanhassen, MN; Project Area Redevelopment Plan. The project included the preparation of a Project Area Redevelopment and TIF Plan for 630 acres of land including Downtown Chanhassen and the Chanhassen Lakes Business Park. City of Chanhassen, MN; Downtown Redevelopment Plan. This project involved taking a fresh look at Downtown Chanhassen after prior redevelopment efforts had failed. It included the .formulation of a new redevelopment concept plan which would allow for a lesser financial commitment on the part of the City while allowing smaller more "doable" projects than were possible with the previous plan. Ali of the infrastructure (streets, utilities, storm drainage) improvements have been completed and the first new retail project is under construction. ED FRED HOISINGTON EYPERIENCE • RELAT City of Traverse City, MI; Comprehensive Plan. This project involved the preparation of a Comprehensive Plan for an older resort community with a downtown, in northern Michigan where Mr. Hoisington was the City Planning Director. Mr. Hoisington was responsible for project management and plan preparation. The process included five public interactive forums whose purpose were to identify community issues and formulate community goals. City of Rosemount, MN; Comprehensive Plan.. This project was very similar to~the Traverse City Comprehensive Planning Process in that it involved a significant public participation program. While with another consulting firm, Mr. Hoisington was project manager and chief land use planner for the original City Comprehensive Plan and a later update. City of Edina. M N ; Western Edina and Southwest Edina Plans. NIr. Hoisington was responsible for the preparation of sector plans for two large areas of the City of Edina while serving as its Planning Director. Not unlike a comprehensive plan, these included land use, transportation, . community facilities and utilities plans.

CONCLUSION The University Grove Neighborhood is subject to two layers of land use controls, those of the University of Minnesota and the City of Falcon Heights zoning code. It is the City's role to enforce the current provisions of the City Code. A change in the neighborhood's land tenure system may affect the types of land use restrictions governing the neighborhood. The information in this report is intended to assist residents in making that determination. • • APPENDIX • 1.

The University vculd like to sell t:~e highlighted lot identified as "C" along with tae portion of Lot D adjacent thereto, and north of Folveli Street as currently constructed, for development of a single-family home. To sell tae portion of Lot D north of FoIveIl St_aet (as currently constructed), tae University`s easement to the City of ralcon Heights covering the streets in tae Grove and Grove East would have to be anended.

The second item ve discussed is identified as "B" on the attached map (Lot 7 Block 2, Auditors Subdivisi on 90 ). I have been advised that when Au , ditor's Subdivision 90 vas platted, the University and the City of Falcon Heights agreed that Lot 7 would not be developed.

Following a brief discussion Wallin moved approval of the requests contingent upon receipt of the necessary license and signage documents. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION OF UNIVERSITY'S INTENT TO SELL LEASE RIGHTS IN IN UNIVERSITY GROVE Baldwin explained that the University of Minnesota is considering the sale of the lease rights of the University Grove prope rty to the home owners in the neighborhood, and has inquired as to whether or not the City would be interested in purchasing the common areas.

CITY TO VACATE A PORTION OF EASEMENT ON EXTENSION GF FOLP,TELL P_VE. FUBLIC HEART?QG SCHEDULED FOR 11/13/89, 7:30 P.M. Wiessner explained that the University has requested the City to vacate its easement on the extension of Folwell so the University may sell the additional land as a part of Lct C for a dwelling unit. Wallin explained that the Planning Commission felt the City should not give up more than 25 feet of the easement as it may be used for pedestrian access to the propcsed walkway included in the City's Park Plan. Following the discussion, Council agreed to vacate the west 25 feet of the easement as long has there is no cost to the City. Council then scheduled a public hearing on the proposed vacation for 7:30 P. M. , December 13 , 19 89 . .

UNNECESSARY Wallin explained that Mr. Affoleter had begun to construct a temporary lean-to on the side of his garage for boat storage, but has new decided to make it a permanent structure. The Planning Commission had a lengthy discussion. as to whether or not an Permitted Accesory Use Permit was necessary and by a 6 to 1 vote did recorru-nend approval of the permit.

We would change very little with our situation here, but one aspect of life on this corner is becoming unbearable. Hopefully, you will be able to help us with our problem. Immediately behind us (facing Larpenteure te*aiantseand find themtto be very acquainted with the owner and some of th nice .people. However, some of the tenant cars, parked alongside of our house .(the ~ ~ ~ side-- along Arona) are a real trouble to us, Our reasons far asking zone ' on this particular__section of Aso h only requesting a_ no_p __ ,__ _. ....__ section where "no parking" is not enforced, to our knowledge, in the immediate area) are many and varied. Please allow us to explain. First, in the past three. years, ire. have worked very hard to raise the value of our home, and thus the value of our Falcon Heights neighborhood. We have _ succeeded, by three independent appraisals, in doing so-- by $30,000. But having a used car lat' outside our door really detracts from the appearance we have tried to create.. Second, and more tangibly, we spend roughly $300 each year for flowers and lawn maintenance. This includes general fertilizers, etc., plus a whole row of salvia flowers along our fence each yeto usW. As we11~F lcon Heights has planted for these flowers, and they mean alot two mature trees on the Arona avenue, and we have planted two seedlings. The damage done each year to our landscaping efforts is really perplexing. It ranges from cigarette butts to glass in the grass (we have atwo-year old daughter who is discovering the joys of walking barefoot) to trash in general. Not to mention general trampling damage to the one s W e are really trying ha rdlto make an numerous salvias last summer, al ugly section of Arona {Northome) a little more pleasant, but it's a frustrating effort. Third, the nuisance of having cars parked along our house is annoying in every season. In the winter months, snow plows often miss our driveway section of the road altogether because the tenants have forgotten to move their cars off Arona. Each of the past three springs, I have manually swept up the gravel off of Arona caused by car owners not moving their cars on the designated day for the street sweeper. This costs me about two hours of my time, plus alot of nasty swearing. Not to mention our rubbish pickup costs. Whatever the season, the trash is really an eyesore-- people dump their ashtrays on our lawn or on the street. There is a non-stop supply of food wrappers, pop cans, and glass. Fourth, the parking of cars near our driveway is really a danger to us. Often we have had to manuver our way out of our driveway because the cars were simply parked too close to our e$it. This is not only maddening, but also severely limits our ability to view oncoming cars. We have often pulled out into someone else's way because we were not able to see their approach from the south. As well, our 10-year old Irish Setter was seriously hurt last autumn by a car whose driver failed to see her dart out from between the parked cars on Arona. We realize that a loose dog is obviously our fault as owners, but still, our mistake could have been easily compounded by the problems of the parked cars. And caused much more serious injuries-- to our dog and people in the car. Fifth, the noise factor Cars come and go all day and all night. With very„loud people,lnost of the time. I wish the drivers/passengers would come intn ouc home aid put our two-year old back to sleep each time they awaken her with their ~ou~i discussions! We recognize the;fact t~~t, on this corner, we can't . observe total silence, but'we do`l~ve ifs a.semi-residential neighborhood, at least, and would appreciate others'. observance of this fact. I'm sorry that I have rambled on in this manner. But this means much to us. We have worked for the past three years to improve our little corner of Falcon Heights, and hope that its governing body will return the favor. I don't think our request fora "no parking" zone is impractical. Often tenant cars park in the back Northome lot, and so hopefully more long-term arrangements can be made with Northome management. That lot is rarely more than 10~ full, ezcept perhaps for an hour or two on winter Saturday afternoons. So, there you are. We thank you for your consideration of our request. We enjoy living in Falcon Heights very much, and for your continual caring attitude. Sorry for being such pests!!!

Please distribute it as you see fit. HOME OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND THE U OF M INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE ~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 19 March 1990 A PLANNING REPORT ON T:~E LAND USE CONTROLS GOVERNING THE UNIVERSITY GROVE NEIGHBORHOOD INTRODUCTION The University of Minnesota has proposed a change in the land tenure system of the University Grove Neighborhood from entirely leasehold with University ownership to a mixture of leasehold with University ownership and private property. As lessor, the University maintains a policy of approving all major property improvements and restricting some land uses. Therefore, the absence of the University's ownership of some property may remove these land use controls. This report provides information on the role of the City in this issue. And it details the Universgityaof use controls placed upon the neighborhoood by Minnesota and the City of Falcon Heights zoning code. THE CITY'S ROLE Commons Areas and Vacant Lots Any isue affecting a City neighborhood is important to the City as a whole. Nevertheless, the University proposal to sell the land to Grove residents is primarily a neighborhood issue with the • residents and the University being the key players. The University did approach the City on two questions related to the land sale issue. In a letter dated September 19, 1989, the University inquired about the City 's interest in 1) releasing an easement on the property at the northeast end of Folwell Avenue to expand the area of the vacant lot "Lot C" (see Figure 1) so the University could sell it for the construction of a residential home; and 2) the City's interest in purchasing the commons areas and "Lot B", a vacant lot on the eastern edge of Coffman Street (see Figure 1). A copy of this letter was sent to the President of the Grove Homeowners Association. After review by the Planning Commission and a public hearing, the City Council approved the release of a portion of the easement adjacent to "Lot C". The City Council also declined the opportunity to purchase the commons a-yeas and/or "Lot B". The City Council based its decision on the fact that the commons areas serve the adjacent property owner-s and do not function as a neighborhood park. The City has~made an on-going commitment to the Grove Park. Therefore, it was decided that limited City funds should not be spent on the purchase and maintenance of these areas. The Zoning Code The City administers the zoning code that covers the University Grove Neighborhood. The University Grove is zoned R-1, single . family residential. It is possible to amend the zoning code to. CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA MARCH 26, 1990 A. CALL TO ORDER: 7:30 P.M. B.

PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN OFF-SALE LIQUOR STORE AT 1559 WEST LARPENTEUR AVENUE IN A • B-2 ZONE Planner Susan Hoyt Taff reviewed background information regarding the use of the property and site considerations. She explained that Mr. James Kettner was requesting the conditional use permit for a vacant space in the Bullseye Shopping Center on behalf of its owner, ~1r. Dennis Hunt. She reported that the off-sale liquor store parking fell within the parking variance for the center adopted in May, 1989, and that traffic flow associated with the store would not create problems. Mr. James Kettner, the proposed tenant and proprietor, described his experience in retail businesses including an off-sale liquor store. He said that he and family members will assist him in managing and financing the business. He expressed enthusiasm for the location and associated uses in the shopping center. He will be making minor alterations to the leased space by installing office space/storage space and will be installing a walk-in cooler. He anticipates employees will be parking on the west end of the building. He plans to work closely with the police with regard to checking ID's and enforcing the legal age requirements. Mr. Kettner proposes to open April 1, 1990. Don Grittner, 1718 Arona, asked Mr. Kettner if he had any affiliation with a major liquor store. Mr. Kettner replied that he did not. Mr. Grittner expressed concern regarding the crime element that • a liquor store could attract the neighborhood and asked if there were ways to prevent robberies. b1r. Kettner said that he will ~, MINUTES REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING • FEBRUARY 5, 1990 PAGE 2 have two employees on the premises, the liquor store has a lot of glass facing busy streets, and the parking lot will be well lit.

The revised rules are attached for your review. ACTZOii ELQIIESTID: Review and adopt. 6/29/87 • FALCON HEIGHTS PLANNING COMMISSION PLANNING COMMISSION STANDING RULES March 26, 1990 INTRODUCTION In .the belief that the best decisions are made by the best informed decision makers and that the public decision process is best served when the public has every opportunity to present views, the following rules are established to govern regular and special commission meetings as well as formal public hearings. There are several goals behind these rules. 1. In general, free and open discussion by all interested parties should be an essential part of the decision making process. 2. The commission process should have as little procedural overhead as possible. 3. Time is better spent on substantial matters rather than proforma matters. • MEMBERSHIP The formal commission membership consists of seven to nine appointed commissioners. All seven to nine have one vote each and all can introduce motions. For purposes of leading the meeting the chair, or in the absence of the chair the vice-chair will be considered the chairperson. RULES A enda 1. To be considered, an item must be on the agenda and the agenda must be distributed to all the commission members and any other persons having responsibility for an item at least three working days prior to the, meeting. An agenda can be modified with addenda by a majority vote but this should be used only for minor items or items with extreme time constraints. 2. An item can be moved from the consent agenda to the action agenda at the request of any commissioner. 3. Since there will be audience and possibly cable TV viewers not familiar with each item, the chair will give a brief explanation of each item as it is addressed. • 4. The order of items on the agenda need not be followed absolutely. The chair may adjust the order in the interest of: • a. Filling in time before a scheduled item, i.e. a public hearing. b. Grouping several items to best make use of consultant time. c. Accommodating individuals who have attended the meeting specifically to provide input on an item. Process - Regular and Special Planning Commission Meetings 1. For these proceedings the commission will use the 'open discussion' procedure. That is, discussion is open to any member before or after a motion is made. This privilege is also extended to the city planner and any of the consultants who may have an interest in or can contribute to the item at hand. 2. At the discretion of the chair, this privilege is also extended to those members of the audience who wish to provide input. The chair may also rule out of order any input felt to be redundant, superfluous or irrelevant. 3. The chair can make liberal use of the "unanimous consent" • procedure. That is, items that in the judgement of the chair are likely to be unanimously approved, can be introduced for approval with the statement "If there are no objections, ... stands approved (or denied)." If any commissioner has an objection then the item reverts to the standard motion procedure. This "unanimous consent" procedure cannot be used for items requiring formal votes, i.e. resolutions. 4. The standard motion procedure is changed to not require a second. A motion need only be made to be considered. This also applies to amendments. 5. To eliminate confusion, only one amendment will be considered at a time and that amendment must be germane to the motion. An amendment cannot itself be amended. If a change to an amendment is deemed appropriate, the amendment should be withdrawn and reintroduced accordingly. 6. The general mode of voting will be by acclamation but with enough clarity that the individual votes can be recorded in the minutes. If in doubt the secretary can request a clarification. • 7. The meeting will be audio taped and the tape will be retained for 6 months following. approval of the minutes for that meeting. The standard retention can be extended if in the judgement of the city planner such action is warranted. 8. If the commission action is the result of a resident request and that request is denied in whole or in part, reasons of fact supporting the denial will be made part of the public record. 9. No commission meeting will extend beyond 10:00 PM except by unanimous vote. This rule is not subject to the modification or suspension provisions of the Standing Rules. Process - Public Hearings Since a public hearing is a more formal procedure and often requires certain procedures and actions to be legal, the meeting rules are changed accordingly. 1. The primary aim of a public hearing is to take input from the public. To accomplish this in the most effective manner the chair will introduce the hearing with an explanation of the issues. This explanation will be given by the chair or a person designated by the chair. The use of explanatory visual aids is • encouraged. 2. Following the explanation, input from the public will be taken. Prior to accepting input, though, the chair will state the areas where input will be appropriate, the maximum time to be allotted to any individual presenter and any other procedural rules deemed appropriate to guarantee that all concerned parties have a fair and adequate opportunity to be heard. 3. All individuals wishing to speak must fill out and submit an identification form and speak into a recording microphone. Individuals not wishing to speak in public may provide a written statement. The commission may take up to 15 minutes to review written statements presented at the meeting. If the commission decides to not act on the issue at the public hearing meeting, it may by majority vote extend the time where written input will be taken to a day no .later then 1 week before the next meeting where a deciding vote is planned. 4. All speakers are expected to be business-like, to-the-point and courteous. Anyone not abiding by these rules will be considered out-of-order. r 5. The commission will refrain during the public input phase of points brought up. These 'point be held to a minimum. from initiating a discussion the hearing except to clarify of information' requests should 6. Once the public testimony phase is complete the chair will announce the public hearing to be closed and the commission will revert back to its open discussion mode of operation. From this point on public input will only be appropriate when solicited by the Commission. 7. Voting on any motion that results from a public hearing may be by roll call if requested by a commissioner. 8. It shall be the intent of the commission to vote on the issue at the same meeting as the public hearing and as close in time to the public hearing as possible. Should it be necessary to defer voting until a later date, that procedure will be clearly explained to the audience. 9. No public hearing will extend beyond 9:30 PM. 10. If the motion contains conditions, as may occur in conditional use or variance requests, those conditions will be conveyed in writing to the requestor. 11. If the public hearing is the result of a resident request and that request is denied in whole or in part, reasons of fact supporting the denial will be made part of the public record. ADOPTION/MODIFICATION/SUSPENSION These rules with the exception of the mandatory 10:00 PM adjournment, can be adopted, modified or suspended in whole or in part by a 3/4 vote of the commission. If suspended, they are automatically reinstated at the next meeting. Should they be suspended or a situation occurs that is not covered by the standing rules, Sikkink's Seven Motion System (attached) will apply. ANNUAL REVIEW These rules will be reviewed annually at the first meeting in February. INTERPRETATION The chair will interpret the rules. However, the chair's interpretation can be appealed by any commission member and can be overruled by a majority vote. •
