Planning & Zoning Board <br />October 14, 1998 <br />Page 17 <br />• Chair Schaps asked that this document be entered into the record. <br />• <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 />• W. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A.
