Chairperson Nixt stated that seemed reasonable; however he is not a builder and cannot evaluate <br />the logistics of major changes. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Geisler stated she talked to Eden Prairie, who said they get very little <br />opposition on seven units per acre or more, and they have a 75% masonry requirement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer suggested a minor wording change. Under Minor Changes it says siding <br />color, and he would suggest it be changed to texture. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt directed Staff to incorporate these discussion items and bring it back for the <br />next meeting. <br /> <br />Case #10 Appointment to Environmental Policy Task Force <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt stated they each have a finite amount of time to devote to their duties. He <br />asked what they are trying to accomplish by having a Planning Commission member on this Task <br />Force. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated originally it was to have someone <br />from each Commission that deals with these issues on the Task Force, but they do meet twice a <br />month. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if it was a requirement to have a Planning Commission representative. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated he did not believe so. He stated <br />it was set-up that way, but is not codified in writing. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt suggest they table this item and request Staff to notify the Planning <br />Commission when there is an item on the Environmental Policy Task Force agenda that would <br />require the Plmming Commission's expertise. He stated the Tree Preservation Task Force is an <br />excellent example of this working. He indicated they brought the ordinance to the Planning <br />Commission and the Planning Commission pared it down. He stated he does not have time to <br />attend two more meetings a month, and unless someone volunteers, he cannot make them. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated another suggestion was to remove <br />the Planning Commission member and appoint another person. <br /> <br />Commissioner Watson asked if having a Planning Commission spot holding up another member <br />of the community participating. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon stated that there are other interested <br />applicants. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/February 5, 2004 <br /> Page 17 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
