Planning & Zoning Board <br />January 8, 2003 <br />Page 31 <br />together. He urged Mr. Keefe to have his surveyor contact City staff to learn exactly <br />what is necessary to get this application put together. He stated he is sympathetic to Mr. <br />Keefe's problem and thinks it is not asking too much to work with him and consider his <br />request. <br />Mr. Keefe stated he is not sure what else he can do to move the property lines around. <br />Chair Schaps stated that maybe Mr. Keefe's surveyor or engineer will have that answer <br />and can work it out with staff. <br />Mr. Grochala stated Mr. Keefe has indicated to the City Council at a workshop that he <br />needs a purchase agreement signed by February 13 and the Planning and Zoning Board <br />meets on February 12 so there is no way for this application to come back to the Planning <br />and Zoning Board and then the City Council by that date. <br />Chair Schaps stated it could be considered at the special meeting. Members indicated a <br />willingness to consider it at the special meeting that has been scheduled for January 22, <br />2003. <br />Mr. Corson asked if the bank would consider allowing several additional days if this is <br />being considered. Mr. Keefe stated that may be possible. <br />Chair Schaps encouraged Mr. Keefe to work closely with staff and urged all to keep the <br />lines of communication open and friendly. He stated this can be done even though all are <br />busy. <br />B. PUBLIC HEARING, Growth Management Ordinance <br />Chair Schaps declared the public hearing opened at 10:30 p.m. <br />Staff explained that the Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2002 includes important policies <br />relating to the management of growth in the City. Now that the Comprehensive Plan is <br />in place, the City must adopt the means of implementing it. The Growth Management <br />Ordinance establishes the means by which the City will regulate the amount of growth. It <br />will work with the Subdivision Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance, which generally <br />regulate the type of growth. There is some overlap, however. <br />Staff stated the fundamental growth management elements of the Comprehensive Plan <br />are: <br />a) The target for annual growth of 147 new homes per year. <br />b) The future land use map that lays out locational and timing limits on new growth: <br />Stage 1 (pre -2010) and Stage 2 (2010- 2020). <br />c) A specified number of MUSA reserve acres for accommodating new growth in each <br />of the staged growth areas. <br />These three elements form the foundation of the Growth Management Ordinance. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
