Resolution 18-041; a Resolution regarding Renewal of Municipal Insurance Coverage 1 and the Non Waiver of Tort Liability for the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust 2 3 Motion by Councilmember Randle, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the Consent 4 Agenda items. 5 6 Motion carried 5-0. 7 8 IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS 9 10 A. Authorizing Submission of the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan 11 Council and Adjacent Communities. 12 13 Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. 14 15 City Planner Breanne Rothstein reviewed every ten years, Minnesota State Statute requires that 16 each community in the seven county Twin Cities metro area review and update their 17 Comprehensive Plans to be consistent with regional policies. The Metropolitan Council is 18 responsible for the development and implementation of this regional policy through the review 19 of each community’s comprehensive plan update. There are a number of detailed required 20 components and policies required regarding land use, housing, parks and trails, sewer, water, and 21 surface water. These requirements are detailed and require a close examination of local land use 22 and infrastructure planning and policy. Recent development interest in St. Anthony, particularly 23 the re-development of the Lowry Grove, and development trends toward re-development, has 24 sparked interest in the importance and value of the Comprehensive Plan as a guiding vision 25 document for growth and development in the City. This interest has generated a high level of 26 community engagement and input into the plan. Given this, the City undertook a major update 27 and overhaul of the Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Rothstein reviewed the different community 28 groups that were asked for input. The results of the process are also available on the City 29 website. 30 31 Ms. Rothstein reviewed the process to date, noting the community review process is a mandatory 32 6 months, per state statute. Adjacent community review includes all adjacent communities, 33 Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, Three Rivers Park District, Minneapolis Park and Recreation 34 Board, MnDOT and the DNR. After receiving all comments, staff will make edits for a second 35 draft that will incorporate all recommendation changes from the community comments (as 36 recommended by the steering committee). Staff does not intend to revise the plan prior to all 37 comments being received in an effort to be efficient and to revise the document in an organized 38 manner. A revised draft will be presented to the City Council in December, prior to the deadline 39 for submission to the Met Council of December 31, 2018. Staff recommends a motion 40 authorizing adjacent community review for the 2018 Comprehensive Plan Update. Eight pages 41 of public comments were provided for Council review. 42 43 Councilmember Stille stated this Comprehensive Plan is quite different from the last one as far 44 as reaching out for community comments and the number of meetings held. He commended Ms. 45 Rothstein on her work. Mayor Faust agreed. 46 2
