• • • PLANNING & ZONING MEETING August 9, 1989 John Miller assured the board that this will be included in a TIF plan. The board discussed their feelings on "Special Meetings" They feel this is an important project, and that the hoard can justify holding a special meeting, although the board would not like to make a practice of it. Alan Irwin stated that holding special meetings would be setting precedence, which applications do we hold special meetings for and which ones don't we hold special meetings for? John Miller suggested that the board set a policy regarding what type of projects require special meetings. A special Planning and Zoning meeting will be held once MarCor has completed their site plan completed. Jim Winkels will contact city hall when they are ready to meet with the board and a meeting will be called. At the September P &Z meeting the board will discuss establishing a policy for setting one item meetings. This will then go to council for their approval. NEW BUSINESS DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION During a work session held at 6:30 p.m. on August 9, 1989, policy was discussed as to the subdivision of rural parcels. Several ideas were brought up from claiming easements around the perimeter of the land to asking the applicant to hire a surveyor and platting out streets. The board decided on a two part decision. First of all regarding subdivision of rural land in areas where city streets already exist on a city map as worked out by the City Engineer, Ron Stahlberg. In those areas where the city street map exists, easements would be granted to the city, so that this property could be tied into these city streets. The second part was that in areas of the city that have not yet planned for city streets, in those areas when land is subdivided, the city staff and city engineer would be called in to recommend to land owners where the city streets would probably be located, and easements would be granted based on recommendations by the city engineer. The proposed roads will be on the title, and will be legally filed at the court house. MOTION: Robert King moved to recommend to City Council that approval be given on a planning policy for large parcel subdivision as described above. Alan Irwin seconded the motion, and the motion was approved unanimously. Page 9
