3) Consider Amendments to the Development Review Process <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill reviewed the staff report and staff's recommendation. <br /> Councilmember Elvig stated his support to embrace development and suggested another city <br /> may have a template of similar information. <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill stated the information is based on a Metropolitan Council handbook, an <br /> award - winning document, but staff can look at what other communities are using in terms of <br /> content. He displayed a flow chart used by the City of Plymouth relating to permit process. <br /> Councilmember Elvig commented on the benefit to the Planning Commission if it were able to <br /> view the development agreement prior to formulating a recommendation. <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill advised there will be an electronic link to a "boiler plate" development <br /> agreement contract, which will be provided to the developer and Planning Commission. <br /> Councilmember Strommen suggested creating a built in review process so it can be determined if <br /> the process is working, once implemented. <br /> Senior Planner Gladhill stated staff has received comments from developers relating to the <br /> number of times they have to revise plans. He indicated staff will research the option of creating <br /> a follow -up survey into the application. <br /> Councilmember Strommen supported this suggestion, noting it will be good to assure the City is <br /> achieving its objectives and the process really works. <br /> The Council supported moving forward with amendments to the Development Review Process, <br /> as presented. <br /> 4) Discuss Meeting Schedule for December <br /> Following discussion, consensus was reached to cancel the December 27, 2011, Work Session <br /> meeting. <br /> FUTURE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br /> City Administrator Ulrich reported on the November 16, 2011, Northstar Station Kickoff <br /> Celebration. <br /> MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br /> None. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> City Council Work Session / November 15, 2011 <br /> Page 8 of 9 <br />
