Planning & Zoning Board August 14, 2024 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES City should be included in the discussions and thought we could utilize the Quad or Facebook to involve the community. The other members of the Board agreed. Mr. Root wanted to see the Planning and Zoning Board to be the lead on the master plan as well as the AUAR if possible. Mr. Wipperfurth thought we could use the City of Lino Lakes website to get out baseline information discussing how this process is going to work. He also expressed the need for direction when answering public comments and is hopeful the consultant would be a good resource. Mr. Root thought we should also vocalize the City’s needs when the need is identified. Ms. Guthmueller added the City newsletter or groups that have attended the meetings would be good resources to use to keep the community informed. Mr. Evenson added it was important to lead with teaching the public the process and what the Boards can and cannot do. Mr. Laden added he agreed that Planning and Zoning should be the lead and Ms. Larsen said that is the direction they are going. Ms. Guthmueller asked when a consultant would be hired. Ms. Larsen said the plan is to have a consultant selected by the September work session. Mr. Root liked the idea of public meetings and utilizing sticky notes to assist residents in asking questions. He would also like to see a comment section on the City website or a survey developed with specific questions, email registration and a sign placed on the proposed development. Mr. Guthmueller suggested conducting a survey using a QR code. B. Project Updates Ms. Larsen provided updates on City projects. Mr. Vojtech moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Mr. Evenson. Meeting adjourned at 7:11 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Julie Whitney – Community Development Administrative Assistant
