D. Planninq Coordination <br />In any metropolitan area, planning coordination is essential <br />to orderly growth and development. Land use, transportation <br />and community facility plans in one community will often <br />greatly affect those made in adjacent and nearby communities. <br />In a free society such as we have in the United States, the <br />plans must be considered as subject to change in accordance <br />with the desires of the citizens. Such changes should be <br />made known to other communities and other levels of government. <br />In Hugo, as in all communities, there will be many requests <br />for development inconsistent with the plans as presented in <br />this Planning Report. It is the responsibility of represen- <br />tative local government to help citizens make proper, <br />informed decisions based upon a reasonable and up-to-date <br />Comprehensive Plan for the community. <br />Within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, many units of <br />government and private enterprise must be involved in the <br />planning process. Units of government include the local <br />government, school districts, county, metropolitan, state, <br />federal government and branches of government including <br />mosquito control, conservation, agriculture, utilities, <br />air transport, and many others. In order to avoid duplication <br />of efforts and conflicting plans, coordination of all <br />planning is essential. <br />E. Continuing Planning <br />It is imperative that this intent continue after the present <br />program has been completed. The planning process is a <br />continual process of decision making. Nothing will outdate <br />a plan faster than decisions made outside the framework and <br />intent of the plan. <br />34 <br />
