A quorum being present, the meeting was called to order by the Chair at 7:02 p.m. The Planning Commission minutes for July 22, 2008 were approved.
Reaffirm approval of the city’s draft comprehensive plan prior to submission to the Metropolitan Council
Staff liaison Jones reviewed the approval process to date. The commission did approve the draft before it was sent to other jurisdictions for the six month comment period. Several changes
were made as a result of feedback, most notably to the storm water plan. The storm water plan is now separate and much expanded and is included by reference in the comprehensive plan
draft. In addition, other minor changes have been made to the draft. The Council has already given its approval for submission to the Metropolitan Council; the Planning Commission is
being asked to add its approval for submission of the plan.
Anderson moved, Noble seconded, that the comprehensive plan be approved for submission with the changes outlined by staff. The motion was approved unanimously.
INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Council Member Kuettel commended Ms. Jones for her work on the comprehensive plan. Jones expressed her thanks for the kind words and acknowledged the many people who played a part in
putting the plan together, including the Planning Commission. She thanked the commissioners for their work this past year.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison
