DRAFT <br />Mounds View Planning Commission <br />Regular Meeting <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br />February 17, 2016 <br />Page 3 <br />A. Consideration of Resolution 1042-16, a Resolution updating the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission Bylaws. <br />City Administrator Ericson explained the Planning Commission's Bylaws state that the <br />Commission shall review the Bylaws on an annual basis, at the first regular meeting in February. <br />It was noted the Commission reviewed the bylaws on February 3`d and requested additional <br />review regarding Section IOC, regarding "Ex Parte Contacts". It was noted staff requested <br />comment from the City Attorney regarding this matter. Staff reviewed the revised language <br />from the City Attorney and recommended approval of the bylaws as amended. <br />Chair Stevenson discussed a grammatical concern he had with the new Ex Parte language and <br />recommended the seven lines of new language be broken into two sentences. <br />Commissioner Klebsch supported the intent of the new language as is, but that she could also <br />support breaking the sentence into two for readability purposes, and for the ease of the public in <br />reading and understanding the Planning Commission's bylaws. <br />Chair Stevenson indicated the new language could remain as is, but that the reference to a first <br />hearing be changed to read Planning Commission meeting. <br />Commissioner Love suggested the sentence following be written in the positive instead of the <br />negative. She suggested this sentence read: Planning Commissioners shall confine their opinions <br />regarding the merits of Planning Cases to the Planning Commission meetings. <br />Commissioner Rundle supported the bylaws with the proposed language amendments. <br />Commissioner Klander believed the last sentence in Section l OC was a repeat of what has <br />already been said and was therefore unnecessary. <br />City Administrator Ericson reported he would make the proposed language changes and have the <br />Commission review the bylaws again in March. The Commission supported this <br />recommendation. <br />B. Consideration of Resolution 1044-16, a Resolution recommending approval <br />of a code amendment to Chapter 1120 of the Zoning Code, pertaining to <br />PUD's. <br />46 <br />
