• Planning and Zoning November 14, 1984 Page Two Mrs. Klaus joined the meeting at 7:50 P.M. PLANNING CONSULTANTS RECOMMENDATION The Board interviewed three candidates on November 1 and one candidate on November 14 for the position of planning consultant. Each board - member present ranked the candidates (Mrs. Klaus abstained). The opinions were in unanimous agreement, and the Board felt that they had seen a good scope of candidates and did not feel any more inter- views were necessary. Mr. McLean moved to recommend to Council, based upon the joint assess- ment of the candidates by the P & Z Board, that Mr. Chapman remain the City Planning Consultant. Motion seconded by Goldade. Motion unani- mously carried. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE Mr. Schumacher addressed a letter to the attention of the P & Z Board and the City Council suggesting those boards go through the normal approval process for the republished 1981 Comp Plan which includes some changes, none of which affect Metropolitan Council. This letter spelled out generally what changes were included at the suggestion of the former City Planner, Bill Short. The Board was not satisfied with the detail of the changes which have been included in the republished Comp Plan. Mr. McLean suggested that a "to- from" list be developed for the purpose of clarification. Mr. Goldade moved to direct Mr. Kluegel to plan a meeting of the P & Z Board, City Council, Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Chapman to make sure all understand the changes which have taken place. Mr. Prokop seconded the motion. Motion carried. GARY MOREHOUSE - METES AND BOUNDS CONVEYANCE Arlo and Lucille Morehouse represented Gary Morehouse in his request for a metes and bounds subdivision of five acres in an ER district. After some discussion and clarification of the location in question, Mr. Cody moved to recommend that Council approve Mr. Morehouse' re- quest for a metes and bounds subdivision, Mr. Morehouse currently residing at 660 79th St., for a split of his property located at 680 79th St. in which a parcel of 330 feet by 660 feet (constitu- ting five acres) be subdivided. Mr. Goldade seconded the motion. Mr. Cody amended his motion to include the fact that the property to be subdivided does lie adjacent to a city accepted and dedicated roadway (namely 79th St.), a fact which is not noted either on the certificate of survey accompanying the request or on the city aerial map. Motion passed. Mrs. Morehouse was upset by the fact that the city map does not show 79th St., a street which has been there for 20 years, and because of that fact, the Morehouse certificate of survey did not show the street. She felt the City should see to it that their maps were updated.
