He agreed some <br /> 8 strategic planning is necessary . He cited the example of <br /> 9 examining the City' s housing stock would be a good place to <br /> 10 start . <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Some discussion continued regarding the potential for the <br /> 13 "Clark Station" parcel -on 33rd Avenue and Stinson Boulevard. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 The Mayor expressed a concern that some undesirable business <br /> 16 could go in there . The City Manager noted this parcel is zoned <br /> 17 for townhomes . He is still working with someone to develop <br /> 18 this site . It could be a very good site for a home hospice <br /> 19 facility. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Councilmember Marks suggested the comprehensive plan be redone <br /> 22 in that there have been many changes in the City' s <br /> 23 demographics . He recommended the Planning Commission review <br /> 24 the comp plan and perhaps a consultant could be hired to <br /> 25 update it . <br /> 6 <br /> Councilmember Marks felt there should be a series of meetings <br /> of all persons in the City interested in participating in its <br /> 29 future direction . Among those who could be included are focus <br /> 30 groups and church representatives . <br /> .31 <br /> 32 He also suggested that the information received from City <br /> 33 surveys be referred to for direction. The information he <br /> 34 received from the National League of Cities Conference <br /> 35 regarding "visioning" would be very timely. He will get this <br /> 36 data to the Councilmembers . <br /> 37 <br /> 38 The Mayor felt the Council , the Planning Commission and the <br /> 39 Chamber of Commerce should all be involved with future <br /> 40 planning. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 The City Manager advised that the cities of Roseville and <br /> 43 Moundsview have held town meetings to look at issues and plan <br /> 44 for the future. He will contact these two municipalities <br /> 45 regarding the format they followed and their results . <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Councilmember Fleming felt the Council ' s August 3rd work <br /> 48 session would be an appropriate time to kick-off this study. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 <br /> i <br />
