MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 11, 1993 Drabik suggested that the Commissioners review their comp plans and identify areas they feel should be addressed. The Planner agreed and pointed out that the current plan is now 14 years old. If there are portions of the plan that are valid, those portions would be maintained as part of an update. DeLonais again mentioned the need for updating zoning maps, and felt this was long overdue. Garske asked if as part of updating the comp plan the City would be holding meetings on proposed bike path locations, etc. Garske felt this might get residents' hopes up for these types of improvements, when, in fact, they might not occur for a long time. It was pointed out that the Park and Recreation Commission has adopted a Park Master Plan which would become a part of the City's comp plan. The Planner pointed out that the comp plan would identify land use and development issues and will provide some priorities. With regard to park and trail development, these items would be identified including priorities giving the City something to focus its development monies on. Glanzer felt that the issue for the Commission this evening was whether or not to recommend if updating the comp plan should be included on the City's 10% capital improvement listing. The Planner reported that some of the issues the comp plan would address include land use issues, economic development, redevelopment strategies, code enforcement, infrastructure needs, etc. It was suggested that the members of the commission review their comp plans in detail and be prepared to discuss the matter further at the next meeting. After that discussion, the Planning Commission can then decide whether or not a workshop with the City Council would be necessary. Drabik recommended that the updating of the City's Comprehensive Plan be added to the 10% Capital Improvement listing. Motion seconded by Keis. Motion carried 5 - 0. Page 8 Page 10
