Mayor Johnston reviewed the first part of this emergency meeting from January 24, 2006. Councilmember DeLapp asked if there would be a public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment because the changes in the Old Village have not yet been seen by the public. The Mayor said if additional meetings or a public hearing is required, it will be done. Administrator Rafferty said tonight we will see a brief overview of the concept for the Village Plan. He said it is his understanding the Met Council will accept that information on a preliminary basis. Councilmernber DeLapp asked the Plainer to explain what the Metropolitan Council has a legitimate and/or legal basis of expecting from the City. The Planner continued from where the meeting left off on Tuesday. In response to a letter from the. Metropolitan Council, text was drafted to amend the plan. He took the recommendation, added the buffers as requested by City Council, submitted the changes to the Metropolitan Council, and heard from Blair Tremere the submission was fine. He updated the Wastewater chapter of the Comp Plan. He also modified Chapter III relative to bullet points in the Metropolitan Council letter to change the numbers in response to their bulleted concerns. Those changes have not been submitted. An entirely new Chapter VI was modified and submitted to Metropolitan Council yesterday. The Planner said that what remains are the following which all relate to the Village Plan • Airport Safety Zones • Affordable Housing component • The Land Use Plan for the Village Area Village Area Consultants are here tonight and the Planner thinks their concept is a good approach. However, the format we have to submit for the Village Area is from a different, more detailed perspective. He said the consultants will explain the basis behind it, what we want to accomplish, and the concept. Then he would like to convert that concept into a broader concept suitable for submission to the Metropolitan Council. The Planner said the Met Council expects us to address 7 items in the Village Plan: 1. Protection of Airport Safety Zones 2. Affordable Housing requirements 40+ acres X 5-6 units per acre = 250 dwelling units.
