LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 18, 1989 PAGE 4 i The Administrator will contact Wyn John and Nancy Hansen and inform them of the Council's request. D. 1989 Comprehensive Plan Status Administrator Morrison, Comp Plan Sub -Committee Chairman Dick Johnson, PZ Chairman Rob Enes and Deputy Clerk Mary Kueffner met with Met Council planners for their input on the Comp Plan. Morrison indicated the Plan was looked upon favorably with only a few changes requested. Dick Johnson explained the Met Council would like to see more information on Parks, definite numbers relative of Section 32 (Section 32 Land Use Map was ommitted in the Plan submitted), numbers on Section 32 sewer plan by City Engineer and more numbers on the airport. Johnson would like to see a section on Capital Improvements based on his opinion the purpose of a Comp Plan is to guide the City on what future services are going to be required based on the projected growth. The Met Council could care less about Comp Plan format, Johnson added, and recommended proceeding with the Plan that Mary had put together. Extensive discussion followed on which Comp Plan format the Staff was directed to follow: The format of the 1979 Comp Plan or the March, 1989 Planning Commission draft Comp Plan. MIS/ Hunt/Williams - that the Planning Commission be allowed to continue to update the PZ's current version of the Comp Plan of the PZ Sub -Committee (March, '89). M/S/F Graves/Moe - to amend the motion to include the PZ version of the Comp Plan be submitted to the City Council by July 25, 1989. (Motion Failed 2-3: Dunn, Williams, Hunt: totally unrealistic --the City staff would not have their version done at that time.) M/S/P Hunt/Williams - that the Planning Commission be allowed to continue to update the PZ's current version of the Comp Plan of the PZ Sub -Committee (March '89) with the two plans (PZ and Staff's) submitted (no specified date) simultaneously to the Council for comparison. (Motion carried 3-2 Graves,Moe: they have a workable document in front of them now which they would support and recommend the staff and Comp Plan Sub -committee be allowed to continue updating this draft proposal). M/S/P Graves/Moe - to direct the staff, (staff includes City Engineer) tc continue working on updating the proposed draft of the Comp Plan, following the recommendations from the Met Council. (Motion carried 3-2.: Hunt, Williams: the Comp Plan should come from the PZ and not the City Staff.) Administrator Morrison requested clarification of direction from the Council, she asked if the Council wanted staff to proceed with the Plan typed by Mary by incorporating Met Council's recommendations, and, if the Sub -Committee of the Planning Commission was to use the format of the March, 1.989 Planning Commission draft Comp Plan and proceed with completion on the basis of that format. The majority of the Council indicated this was the direction they desired.
