PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 13, 1986
Stefanson, Olson, Trent-Sullivan, Finegan, Wallin, Grittner. Also present
was Council Liaison Hard.
Northrup, Mead and Black.
Finegan moved, seconded by Trent-Sullivan that the December 2, 1986
Minutes be approved as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
The City Council advised the Planning Commission of the appointment
of the new Building Inspector, Richard Larson. The Planning Commission
was advised that the City had adopted the Uniform Building Code in its en-
tirety and to alter the adoption, an amendment would have to be approved.
The reason for the request is the enormous fees paid for plan checks
and the like. Under the new system, the Building Inspector will
receive one-fourth of the plan check fee (instead of 100 percent), the
Fire Department will receive their hourly pay plus any remainder of
that fourth will go into a capital improvement fund and the rest will
be designated into the general fund. Mr. Larson has received a good
recommendation from the Falcon Heights Fire Department and also from the
• City of Lauderdale, who he is also currently working for. Grittner
pointed out that the amendment as written contained many errors in
wording and had words missing and needed to be rewritten.
Wallin moved that the Planning Commission concurs with the suggestion
that the precise language be proofread very closely so that it contain
correct information (also Subdivision 3 on the bottom of page 3 is
not needed). Olson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Three members of the present Planning Commission--Chairman Stefanson,
Erma Olson and Jerry Wallin have served two three year terms and are
unable to be reappointed. Stefanson reviewed the items that took place
during their tenure--Comprehensive Plan, rewriting of the Zoning
Ordinance, American Shelter and the Good Value project. He personally
found the Chairmanship to be very interesting and beneficial and
thanked all the Commission members for their expertise and cooperation
during those years as well as their community concern.
Finegan nominated Gritter as Chairman. Trent-Sullivan seconded the
motion. Grittner declined the nomination due to the fact that he did
not have the time to devote to the Chairmanship. Grittner then
moved, seconded by Wallin, to nominate Don Mead as temporary Chairman.
Motion carried unanimously. Trent-Sullivan and .Grittner advised they
appreciated working with Stefanson, Olson and Wallin not only for
their expertise but for keeping always the best interests of Falcon
Heights at heart.
Next meeting is February 3, 1986.
Finegan moved, seconded by Wallin, that the meeting be adjourned at 8:15 P.M.
