Planning&Zoning Board <br /> October 14, 1998 <br /> Page 17 <br /> Chair Schaps asked that this document be entered into the record. <br /> Mr. Trehus asked if everyone has had an opportunity to review it. Mr. Trehus noted two <br /> Councilmembers have stated great reservation with the Plan and, since a 4/5ths vote is <br /> needed, it would not be adopted by the Council. Mr. Trehus stated this document <br /> contains information that should be considered. <br /> Upon a poll of the Board, Chair Schaps stated it appears members are aware of and have <br /> reviewed the document. <br /> Chair Schaps stated he had the privilege to be the Chair of the Task Force and in seeing <br /> the comments made tonight and the consensus reached within the community it helps him <br /> understand why people volunteer. He stated the initial comments were so diverse that it <br /> was a wonder a consensus compromise Plan was reached. He stated this is a compromise <br /> from many different angles including residents of Birch Street and business owners <br /> whose interests are protected. Chairman Schaps stated the most divisive part of the <br /> process was a group using the letters C.A.L.L. who, apparently, did not show up tonight <br /> but have been a continual source of confrontation within this process. He stated while <br /> everyone else has been willing to compromise and reach consensus they have not. He <br /> stated that while they claim to represent a group of citizens,there is no one here. Chair <br /> Schaps stated he hopes Councilmembers Lyden and Dahl are listening. He noted they <br /> had very minimal participation, if that is who they are, and their participation recently had <br /> been to submit a list of demands upon which they would sign off on a Plan, none of <br /> which the 12 member Task Force felt were reasonable but all of whom where willing to <br /> negotiate and listen. He stated they have not shown up which he believes, as a citizen of <br /> this City, is abominable. Chair Schaps stated he fully endorses this Plan and hopes it is <br /> what we think it is. He stated he thinks the Plan will work in the future and, as it needs <br /> change,the same consensus building group is available who can work with every group <br /> of this City and not just their own. <br /> Mr. Dunn made a MOTION to recommend adoption of the Comprehensive Land Use <br /> Plan with the citizen input received tonight and an amendment to the Village Town <br /> Center as recommended tonight by Staff, and was supported by Mr. Robinson. Motion <br /> carried 6-1 (Trehus). <br /> Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to recommend adoption of the Transportation Plan and <br /> was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 6-0-1 (Trehus). <br /> Mr. Robinson thanked Chair Schaps for chairing the Task Force and putting up with <br /> comments made. <br /> VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> A.
