He offered thanks on behalf of the 18 council to the advisory panel for their work on the Plan update. The council has been 19 busy reviewing and discussing the draft document and has a couple of items they would 20 like to discuss with the Panel.

The council remains open 23 to further discussion if that is necessary after this meeting.

The final deadline for submission to the Metropolitan Council is now May 29, 31 2009 and that includes an extension already granted. 32 33 The council has recommended the following changes to the Plan: 34 1. Incorporate 5 year phasing into the Staging Plan; 35 2. Provide for an intensive Comp Plan review every five years; 36 3.

Include requirements for affordable housing in all residential districts; 39 5. Allow for residential densities to exceed district caps as an incentive for developers to 40 provide additional desired public values.
