After <br />some discussion, it was determined that further revisions were needed to the draft before the <br />Planning Commission and City Council could provide substantive input. <br /> <br />Given the timeline associated with submitting a plan to the Metropolitan Council by the end of <br />2008, Staff is bringing back the draft goals and strategies at a regular Planning Commission <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy thought there was an awful lot of information to try to deal with at one <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated she liked the way it was written but could not read through all of <br />it. <br /> <br />Interim Assistant Community Development Director Geisler told the Commission that they could <br />take their time to read through this and either email her or call with comments within the next <br />week. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated if this is going to drive the Planning Process such as the goal to try. to <br />have a variety of housing densities and types. He thought that was too general <br /> <br />Commissioner Hunt stated that all came out of the meetings and what is written is all the <br />information that has come out of the meetings that they had and that was one of the points that <br />was made in some of the meetings was that they just wanted rather than to say they wanted to <br />have one type of housing unit. He thought the consensus was that they wanted to have a broader <br />spectrum of homes to where they have the option of having starter homes in Ramsey or very <br />high-end homes and when development happens there are opportunities for both ends. <br /> <br />Planning Commission I March 6, 2008 <br />Page 17 of21 <br /> <br />P17 <br />
