Page 2 . June 27, 1979 Planning and Zoning made available to Mr. McLean. However, he could not clarify the intent of the motion out of context and will check the minutes for that meeting for future clar- ification. The attorney's letter had also addressed the parcels that appeared to be landlocked. However, there was a provision made for these with an 8 -foot drive; there would be access for these lots. Vi Schwankl moved to recommend to the Council that the zoning on the Baldwin Lake Mobile Home Court be changed from the commercial zoning that it was now to R-6 zoning and a public hearing be set. This does not pertain to the existing area but to the expansion area only, as per the legal description on the application. Mr. Heath seconded the motion. All were in favor; none opposed. Motion declared passed. Next on the agenda was an application for a moving permit to move a garage into the city. There was some question as to whether the city was still operating under the moratorium on the moving of buildings within the city. Since the Planning and Zoning Commission was unsure of the situation in regard to this, and since there were other applications that would need to be considered, the Council was requested to clarify their position and report back by the next meeting so the Planning and Zoning Commission could have some information on this. Clarification on Mr. McLean's motion was also requested. A timetable for work on the Comprehensive Plan was discussed and special meeting dates were set up in advance. Mr. Gourley and Mr. McLean had worked on a general time frame for the Comprehensive Plan, which was presented: The final draft of the Comprehensive Plan would have to be submitted to Metro Council by July 11, 1980. The actual business of changes to the ordinances and public advertisement would not be made until final approval by Metro Council, after that date. The Council would therefore have to hold their public hearings during June, making it necessary for it to be in final form by June 1. May would be an adjustment month, giving the city time to straighten out any adjustments to the plan; the three months prior to this would involve a preliminary communication process with Metro Council. Por- tions of the plan would be submitted to Metro Council during these 90 days in order to get some feedback and reactions from them. By February 1, the Planning and Zoning Commission would have to forward to the Council their final form of the Comprehensive Plan, giving the Council February to review it and begin the process of interaction with Metro Council. Planning and Zoning would need the month of January in which to hold their public hearings, probably one or two. The plan, from the Planning and Zoning standpoint, then, would have to be in finished form by January 1, 1980. December, 1979, would be a month of putting it in a finalized form; possibly a committee consisting of Mr. McLean, the planner, the engineer, Mr. Gourley, and any others available from the P & Z. (Considering the Christmas holidays, this process should probably be finished by December 15. That would leave a time period from July to the end of November to work on the bulk of the plan. July and August special meetings could be used primarily to identify areas of change and areas of agreement. It was suggested that the planner could attend a meeting with the Commission, and things that have been discussed previous to this point could be covered, as well as areas the planner was aware of as needing work. September, October, and November could be used to handle the detail work. There was some discussion as to whether the special meetingswould be restricted to only planning sessions, or whether they should be open to regular business as well. The opinion from the attorney had indicated that they should be open to any
