Mr. Chromey explained Highway I0 is considered a principal arterial with the primary purpose <br />to connect large urbanized areas. He reviewed the other arterial roadways shown in the plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Van Scoy expressed concern with the concept of going towards smaller lots in <br />order to get the greenspace the City wants. He stated there could be less housing and the <br />greenspace could still be achieved. ~ <br /> <br />Councihnember Strommen noted there may already be room for the greenspace without changing <br />the density. <br /> <br />Councihnember Elvig commented the developer has to pay for the land and the infrastructure and <br />what thc developer can do needs to be considered. There are other tools available, and one <br />option could be to purchase conservation easements. All of the tools should be available to the <br />City when talking to the developer. <br /> <br />Councihnember Cook stated some of these things might be worked out with a development <br />agreement or an ordinance that dictates not onlY park dedication but greenspace dedication as <br />well. In some situations the City might want to take cash in lieu of land, which is currently done <br />with parks. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council and the Planning Commission was to schedule another joint <br />meeting to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />1) City Council Meetings <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec reviewed the following feedback he received from council members in regard to <br />City Council meetings: <br /> <br />· Be recognized before speaking <br />· Stay away from philosophy statements <br />· Attire should be professional <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman indicated he will include all of the comments in the weekly update. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec indicated he will be setting a tentative list of committee structures.
