She added they will be meeting <br />this Tuesday evening, but they are not geared up at <br />this point to do a suustantive review. She further <br />explained the City Council and Planning Commission <br />will be reviewing it together. She also pointed out <br />that if the process is too spread out, by the time the <br />public hearing is reached, they are just hearing about <br />issues that should have surfaced earlier. <br />Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Road, reviewed what he thought <br />was the process of events, which he did not believe the <br />City was following this time <br />City Planner Herman again explained the proposal had <br />been presented to the Planning Commission on October 5 <br />and was listed on their agenda. <br />Mr. Sandidge stated he was concerned another wetland <br />issue is being jumped into very quickly and there seems <br />to be an awful rush on this, He added they are not <br />getting information on it. <br />Councilmember Hankner noted that no matter how much time <br />is allowed, the Council is still accused of not giving <br />the pt.blic enough information or time. <br />Ms. Ayaz stated she felt the agenda for tonight was very <br />confusing as she did not see the correlation between <br />setting the public hearing and receiving the dAW. <br />Ms. Krougn stated she thought the Environmental Quality <br />Task Force was set up to give expertise to the Council. <br />:the stated they shculd have this information way in <br />advance to study.
