Mr. Start stated that while the various documents (Comorehe.nsive Sewer Plan, Comorehensive Park & Recreation Plan, act.) went a long way in meeting the requirements~ certain greas still needed attention. The first area discussed was the revision by the Metro Council as to population projections, and staging of population, growth in the Urban District. Mr. Start stated that the Plan needed better elaboration as to how we are ?oin~ to apply these projections. Mr. Start explained that in re~grds to the Gateway h~orth Industrial Airoort, the Plan needs more specific information regarding adjacant land ~ses, approach patterns, height hazards, an5 air sp~ce. ~.',~hen Brad Bodle comr,~.ented that he thought this had all been covered by the Airport Co~mission, Mayor cox exo!ained that there was a report before the State Aeronautical Commission with the possibility of re- locating the airport. Mayor Co>: then asked in re~ards to the areas of the Plan which accordin? to the ¥...~tro Council are incomplete, when does the City address these problems; ~.:~e can't bring everythin? to a standstill. Mr. Start stated that they had not been aware of situation ~:~ith the A~roort; but that also needed was ~ basic plan showing staging of the se~,~ered population. Councilman C:a~ec stated that they did not want to base development on projections, and if so, we would have had a mess; ','.~e need some- thing more definite on the interceptor. Kathy Schneider as~ed Mr. Starr ho1.¥ vague they would allow us to be in the wor~t!'n~ on the o!an since we did not have anything definite to base it on.~. Mr. Start stated that they think the City is anticipating more cap~city then they are ~,.~illing to orovide~ and that the Metro planned for one souare ~i!e urbanized area between now and 1990. Mayor Coz and Council- man Gamec both e×olained that they hsd originally received Euidance indicating that a three to four square, mile area ~.'.~ould be sppropriate~ but that they decided to cut back the size themselves~ and ~n regards to orojections~ they change ;"ith each Metro delay. Mr. Start r~plied that he did not realize that such a large area had been approved at one time, an~ that he realized, that defining a par~ ticular area would drive up ].and values.
