1 1 February 25, 1974 Mr. Marier reported that the Planning and Zoning Board had set March 13, 1974 for a Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. He asked Mr. Locher for the proper procedure. Mr. Locher read the laws governing the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board must hold a Public Hearing for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Public Notice must be published once in the legal newspaper ten days before the hearing. The Plan may be presented to the Council as a recommend- ation from the P &Z Board but cannot be adopted by the Council until the hearing is held, input from the Public is considered by the Planning and Zoning Board, and revisions made accordingly if warranted. The Plan is then presented to the Council with the recommendation of adoption by the Planning and Zoning Board. If the Plan is not adopted and certified by the Council, it remains as just a recomm- endation by the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Marier moved to do so as stated. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. Starr said the first step is to present this plan to the public, accept com- ments from the people these comments would then be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board and if found valid, incorporated into the plan before the plan is presented to the Council for adoption. Mr. Jaworski asked that the one point that should be made clear is that this is not rezoning. That this plan is merely a guide to land use within the community. Mr. McLean emphasizes that the Planning and Zoning Board will not move on any rezoning unless specifically requested. Mr. Starr repeated that this plan is to be used as just a guide and has nothing to do with rezoning. This point will be made very clear. Mr. Marier agreed with Mr. Jaworski. There are many people who feel that this is a zoning map and the Board is well aware of this. The Board will make very sure that the public understands that this is not a rezoning plan. Mr. Marier also felt that Mr. Starr is very well informed in this area and well received and this plan should present no problems. Mr. Marier requested that the Council, Planning and Zoning Board, Planner and Attorney ail be' -in attendance at the Public Hearing scheduled for March 13', 1974 at 8:00 p.m.-at the City Hall. The Clerk was instructed to send reminder notices to all. Mr. Marier said that he had attended a house hearing on Thursday, February 21, 1974 in connection with the Park Bill. He had offered two amendments to the Bill and had been called out of order. He asked that the Clerk write a letter of "Thanks" to Mr. Lombardi for his efforts in our behalf. Mr. Jaworski asked if these bills could be amended from the floor and Mr. Marier said it could be but we would need, help. Mr. Marier also reported on the bill establishing a moratorium on building permits for 18 months begining July 1, 1974 unless the property is located on a sanitary sewer line. Mr. Marier said that the Council should make some input as opposing this bill. This would create a stalemate in construction in the outlying areas.
