- 2 - ¢¢P&Z6/17/75 Mr. Steffen read a letter fromMr. Robertson. Mr. Reimann moved we pass this resolution to theEnvironment~l Qual- ity Council and send it to Mr. Christiansen. Seconded by Mrs. Oli- phant. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Steffen asked Mr. Fricke to put up the map showing the commer- cial area in yellow. They think an.interim shoreland~management ordinance should be enacted soon..They suggest a moratorium on any rezoning in this area. We should have a final, amendment of the comprehensive plan. If this work is done and the comprehensive plan is updated, it will possibly cost in the neighborhood of $10,000. The development process is too hot to have a long moratorium. If the Council will give direction to the staff, then they can come in a proposal. Mr. Cox feels we shouldlook into getting funds for this kind of work from the Metro Council. Mr. Steffen would like.the Council to review the shoreland ordi- nance. This proposed ordinance will be placed on the June 23rd agenda. Proposed moratorium, was discussed. There are now two families living in the house on Collins Drive. Attorney Goodrich will see Mr. Hutchinson of the County Health De- partment about this matter.

In an urban planning district certain uses :wouldbe defined for such a district. Performance standards would be set up. The Coun- cil is working on the roads right now. We can tellthemwhat we would like. The whole idea of an urban planning~district is so we can properly respond to the land.owners requirements. Mr. Fricke feels the three of them. can work together andwill do a capable Job. ~ith a regular planner we would have to hire the professional ser- vices to implement the planning while this way we would .already have this work done. Mr. Gamec feels it is a good thing to have th ese three staff people do this planning for the City. Attorney Goodrich suggested putting on the moratorium when-the planning has been determined. It was suggested we ask for bids from planners to get a comparative price. Mr. Cox doesn't want to spend $10,000 to do this but he said he knows we have to have this work done and we must face the problems we have. He feels we have the best pro- posal before us but he thinks we should get .bids. Mr. Reimann feels we should go with the three member staff group. Mr. Gorham would like to see the three staff members put down what they plan to do on this planning. However, he feels like the Mayor,
