<br />Commissionet Brauer recited a portion of the plan which states, in part, that residents must hook <br />up to City sewer only if a pollution problem exists. <br /> <br />Mr. Hendrickson reiterated his concern that at some point there might be an effort to force <br />hookups or in the event that a system is deemed to be in a failed condition and stated he would <br />like to have homeowners be able to make the choice of hooking up or fixing their system. <br /> <br />Community Developmen! Director Miller stated the Comprehensive Plan has to be consistent <br />with the current City Charter and agreed the City could review the issue further to determine if <br />the City Charter should be amended. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlson stated one issue to consider is whether an enforcement of a potential health problem <br />is going to trigger the hook up requirement, e.g., if a routine inspection finds some sort of failure. <br /> <br />Eric Zaetsch, 6521 154th Lane NW, stated that Natalie Hass Steffen attended the October 18th <br />meeting and the projected population number was discussed; he asked her if the 13,650 units <br />represented units that were "connected" or "not connected" and Ms. Haas Steffen replied that the <br />Met Council is not concerned with connectivity and only wants the City to plan for 13,650 units. <br />He stated he felt this statement should be contained in the plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Zaetsch also expressed concern that neither the plan nor the Met Council gives any <br />consideration to the issue of water conservation. He stated the City's neighboring communities <br />draw from the same aquifer and asked that the neighboring communities be asked to review the <br />optimistic numbers contained in the plan and to consider the water availability based on those <br />numbers. <br /> <br />Chris Nelson, 760 166th Avenue NW, requested clarification regarding the transportation section <br />on page 54 of the plan as it relates to the 16ih Avenue extension. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated this is an error and staff had intended on removing it. He <br />indicated the map for the planned transportation shows it has been removed and the section of <br />text related to 167th Avenue was erroneously not removed. He added there are currently no plans <br />for 167th Avenue. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski noted that as it stands now, the City has declared its intention to take <br />the east-west connector over to Variolite Street and there are a number of other elements that <br />need review before this is final. <br /> <br />Keith Simonet, 7131 166th Avenue stated he sent an email to Associate Planner Gladhill today <br />indicating his request to have his property included on the Low Density Residential list for future <br />development of his property. <br /> <br />Erica Sitz, 6521 154th Lane asked if there will be an opportunity to submit written comments to <br />staff. <br /> <br />Planning CommissionlNovember 6, 2008 <br />Page 15 of 18 <br />
