Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes May 21, 2018 Page 8 Motion carried 6-0. 1 2 IV. STAFF REPORTS 3 4 A. Comprehensive Plan Update 5 6 Ms. Rothstein provided an update of the Comprehensive Plan, noting many comments were 7 received and the Steering Committee has met to review the comments. Comments will continue 8 to be collected from other agencies for 6 months, at which point the draft plan can be revised. 9 10 Chair Papatola commended Ms. Rothstein on her work on the Plan along with the Steering 11 Committee and residents. 12 13 V. OTHER BUSINESS – NONE. 14 15 VI. COMMUNITY FORUM 16 17 Ms. Nancy Robinett, 3408 31st Avenue NE, commented on the Comprehensive Plan. She 18 attended the Steering Committee and stated there is not a mechanism for residents to give 19 feedback to the Steering Committee. The meeting in April was titled only as the Steering 20 Committee in the notice of meeting. She explained that members of SAFCA were not aware it 21 was the Comp Plan Steering Committee until the last minute. She asked that in the future, 22 meeting notices be more descriptive. Ms. Robinett made procedural comments about the Comp 23 Plan Steering Committee as far as public engagement and getting public feedback. At the 24 meeting, there was no setting for public comment. At the end of the meeting Ms. Rothstein was 25 requested to work up a consensus of the group’s response to community comment on the Comp 26 Plan. 27 28 Ms. Robinett stated she does not know when the community will see that response or write-up 29 from Ms. Rothstein. She asked for a quicker response. She stated it seemed at the meeting the 30 Steering Committee was not willing to take into account the resident’s comments. She suggested 31 scheduling another session or two to gain resident input. The SAFCA commentary was provided 32 to the Steering Committee and was quickly discussed. Ms. Robinett noted there was no mention 33 that 100 residents signed the SAFCA commentary. She felt the Steering Committee did not give 34 enough time or attention to the resident or SAFCA commentary. Ms. Robinett asked that the 35 Commission take the comments seriously and make time to hear more resident comments. 36 37 VII. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS – NONE. 38 39 VIII.
