Mr. Reinert suggested dispensing with the report on the Council actions by Mr. Schumacher. Mr. Johnson asked to have this delayed - he has some questions. Mr. Short was present to go over some changes in the Comprehensive Plan. The changes have been suggested by Mr. Meister, Engineer and Mr. Short, Planner. Mr. Short reported that the six month time frame for other communities to comment on this document has expired so the next step can be started. Mr. Reinert asked why there /changes made? Mr. Short said the major changes were in road classification - also, an up -date on the sewer plan and to include the Capital Imp,?Ovement Program. Some were suggestions from neighboring communities. Mr. Schumacher said this is basically the same sewer plan - Mr. Reinert interrupted to ask Mr. Schumahcer to move the maps so that the taxpayers in the audience could see what was going on and he then asked that Mr. Short give a back ground explanation of the Comprehensive Plan Which he did. 11 Mr. Schumacher presented the up dated sewer plan, pointing out the areas that had been added to the basic plan, explaining why these areas had been added. Mr. Meister explained how these areas would be served and through which interceptor.

Rd. J - had been designated as RR, but with a possibility of sewers - this should be changed to Commercial; 4) West of Lake Drive, South of 135W, East of 4th Avenue and North of Elm STreet, due to current use of the land, create an Ind. Park in this area. This is an agenda item for this meeting.

There is also the possibility that Pine Street could be used as alternative alignment for the planned extension of County Rd. 19. The Third point was the suggestion of a special entrance for the Chain of Lakes park to be considered in order to relieve traffic within the City. the fourth point was that two park service areas have been eliminated by reclassifying the lands as rural. There had been a suggestion from White Bear Township that perhaps the two communities could work together to develop a park along the N.W. corner of
