• • • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 11, 2002 APPROVED City Planner Smyser noted there is a pond between the land uses on that property. Acting Mayor Reinert inquired about water pressure in that area with the additional water usage. City Engineer Studenski stated it does not appear to be a problem and staff did look at the increased numbers for future use. This item will appear on the regular Council agenda Monday, December 16, 2002, 6:30 p.m. GROWTH MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE, JEFF SMYSER City Planner Smyser distributed a memo and information regarding the draft Growth Management Ordinance and Schedule for approvals: Growth Management, Subdivision Zoning Ordinance. He reviewed the schedule noting the Growth Management Ordinance must be in place when the moratorium expires or shortly after. Mayor Bergeson arrived at 6:26 p.m. Councilmember Carlson stated she indicated at the last meeting she needs a final copy of the Comprehensive Plan to compare it to the Growth Management Ordinance. She stated she does not want to be rushed to take a vote and wants feedback from all the City Boards. Acting Mayor Reinert stated the Council may need to consider extending the moratorium for a few weeks to ensure the Growth Management Ordinance goes through the entire City process. City Planner Smyser stated staff will have to confer with the City Attorney regarding the process of extending the moratorium. He stated the Growth Management Ordinance is very close to the Comprehensive Plan and some City Board members may want to change the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. That would extend the whole process and the ordinance would not be in place when the moratorium expires. Acting Mayor Reinert inquired about the schedule if the moratorium was extended for 30 days and all the City Boards do review the ordinance. City Planner Smyser reviewed the possible dates and indicated the revised schedule would work and the moratorium would not have to be extended by 30 days because the first applications would not come before the Council until April 2003. He advised the revised schedule would be presented to the Planning and Zoning Board. City Planner Smyser advised that also included in the handout is another draft Growth Management Ordinance that notes the changes. He reviewed the changes advising that deleted text is shown in strikeout and added text is underlined. There is also a sheet that lays out exactly how the MUSA need was calculated in the Comprehensive Plan. That
