In the meantime, I want to keep you as fully <br /> informed as possible on developments in this area. <br /> <br /> First, members of our staff have been meeting on a weekly basis with an ad <br />hoc group of local planners. A number of new approaches have been discussed <br />and are under serious consideration. The next meeting of this group will be <br />held at 9:30 a.m. on August 19 in the Council offices. A planner from your <br />community is cordially invited to attend. Please give Jim Barton, our local <br />planning assistance director, a call at 291-6417 if you need more information. <br /> <br /> It should be noted that if substantial changes are made in the draft <br />guidelines that were circulated in advance of the July 25 public hearing, the <br />Council will schedule a new public hearing. Notification of any such hearing, <br /> course, will be mailed to you. <br /> <br /> I might also point out that, at the request of local government officials, <br />the Council's Physical Development Committee is reserving time at each of its <br />meetings this month for additional comment on the guidelines. The committee's <br />remaining August meetings are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on the 21st and 28th. <br />Comment on the guidelines will be heard at 2 p.m. each of those days. You are <br />also invited to forward written comments to the Council. As I mentioned <br />earlier, the hearing record will close on September 2. <br /> <br /> If there is additional information I can supply on this important matter, <br />please don't hesitate to contact me personally at the Council. The number is <br />291-6453. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />Charles Weaver, Chairman <br /> <br />cw/cy <br /> <br />Ail A~,n(;y (;r~$.~,~l to Coor~]inate the planning and I)~veloprnent of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area.
