HomeMy WebLinkAbout1995.04.18 PC MinutesThe meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Agness at 7:00PM for the
purpose of reviewing a draft policy plan for the City's comprehensive plan
prepared by Ed Elliott.
Members Present: Agness, Schumann, Rubenzer, Kellison, Miltz-Miller
Absent: Peltier, Malaski
Others Present: Ed Elliott, Tom Loucks, Administrator Museus
Agness had prepared an index of the policies contained in the draft policy
plan as a method used to determine if the draft policy plan included all
of the issues needing consideration by the City. The Planning Commission
felt the list was complete but that the information contained in the sub
heading of Natural Environment in the Land Use section should be moved and
rearranged to become the fifth general heading of the document between
Urban Service District and Community Facilities.
The Commission then reviewed the sections relating to general Land Use,
Rural Service District and Urban Service District on a page by page basis
providing direction to Mr. Elliott for the desired changes to the
document. Due to the depth of discussion it will be required to resolve
certain issues. The Planning Commission identified certain items that
will require discussion in more detail. These are:
1. The number of planning districts the City should be divided into.
Currently the document calls for Urban and Rural Districts.
Administrator Museus had indicated that perhaps the City should be
divided into 3 or 4 districts to include Urban, Rural, Estate,
Agricultural and perhaps Urban Reserve. The Commission asked that
the City Administrator put his ideas in writing for consideration.
2. Policy 37 regarding standards for building densities in the rural
district requires additional thought on the amount of buildable land
that will be required for a residential lot.
3. Policies for required landscaping in residential and
commercial/industrial developments require policies in the plan.
Mr. Elliott was directed to revise the Draft Policy Plan in accordance
with the comments made by the Planning Commission. Another meeting is to
be scheduled in the near future to review the additional sections in the
Draft Policy Plan.
Kellison made motion, seconded by Schumann to adjourn the meeting at
10:00PM.
