APPROVED COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 2002 effective date. However, given timelines and requirements for review the earliest someone could submit application for residential subdivision would be February 22, 2002. Staff would not have time for review of that project to forward it for the March Planning and Zoning Board meeting so it would automatically have Planning and Zoning Board consideration in April and end up at Council in May. By then the ordinance would be effective and within 120 days for agency action so the City would not be required to approve anything not consistent with the ordinance. City Attorney Hawkins stated his opinion that this is correct. Community Development Director Grochala stated this will build in more time to get something put together for the Planning and Zoning Board consideration and staff will schedule a Planning and Zoning Board work session to review this substantial amount of information and give then two opportunities for review in January. Community Development Director Grochala stated the DRTF has done a respectable job of reviewing this substantial amount of information and included good negotiation on the issues raised. Councilmember O'Donnell stated that he took accountability for having staff come forward with this request to extend the DRTF. He stated they had every intention to complete it in time but he made the request to present the extension request. Councilmember O'Donnell explained that the General Provisions and Planned Unit Developments are very important and some task force members felt strongly the need to have extensive discussion. It was already into the third hour of meeting time so rather than push through it or limit discussion, he recommended a request for extension be presented to the Council. Councilmember Reinert congratulated Councilmember O'Donnell for assuming the large responsibility to chair this task force and bring it in on time. He stated that going into the moratorium, his biggest concern was to get this done in a timely manner. Councilmember Reinert thanked Councilmember O'Donnell for his leadership and taking the time away from his family to accomplish this task Councilmember O'Donnell thanked Councilmember Reinert for this recognition. Councilmember Carlson moved to approve Resolution No. 02-172, Amending the Article VI., of the Development Regulations Task Force By -Laws. Councilmember Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 02-172 can be found in the City Clerk's office. UNFINISHED BUSINESS • Consideration of October 14, 2002 City Council Minutes 30
