City Planner Anderson asked if there are any items that the Board feels have been left out of the <br /> planning cycle for the next 10 years. <br /> Board Member Valentine noted the changing retail market and stated that will continue to be a <br /> changing market that will have a huge effect on commercial development because of the <br /> continuing trend for buyers to purchase goods online. He noted that although it is hard to predict <br /> what will happen in that market, that has been a part of the discussions in updating the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 5.02: Review Draft Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area Chapter of Comprehensive <br /> Plan <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that the purpose of this case is to <br /> review a draft of the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> He advised that staff will continue to refine the chapter but wanted to provide the Board with an <br /> opportunity to review and comment prior to the public open house on April 9th <br /> Chairperson Stodola asked if this section would fall under the same recommendation as the <br /> previous chapter, regarding the possibility of adding language to require updating documents. <br /> City Planner Anderson commented that the natural resources inventory would include all parts of <br /> the City, including the corridor, and therefore he did not feel that the language would be necessary <br /> in this chapter. He stated that if it is the preference of the Board, the language could be added to <br /> this chapter. <br /> Chairperson Stodola agreed that the language to be included in the last chapter would be sufficient <br /> to address all applicable areas. <br /> Board Member Valentine stated that it could be helpful to have a brief statement to the same nature <br /> for this chapter. <br /> Board Member Hiatt commented that it could be helpful to have updated information for specific <br /> items that would apply to this area, such as soil erosion. He noted that there may be possibilities <br /> for adding funding partners for this area because of the shared resource. He explained that if the <br /> City can stress that they would like to have updated data, to the extent possible, it could help to <br /> possibly gain assistance from the other partners that have an interest in this corridor. <br /> City Planner Anderson agreed that perhaps that would open a door for potential grant funds to <br /> accomplish that data collection work in this specific corridor and perhaps adding that statement to <br /> this section would make more sense than he originally thought. <br /> Board Member Anderson referenced the statement regarding a positive learning environment and <br /> asked if there are methods that will be used to attempt to communicate this information and get <br /> people interested. <br /> City Planner Anderson replied that through the Resilient Communities Partnership, staff is <br /> working with an adult education course on organics recycling. He stated that group is helping to <br /> develop an outline on how best to communicate and educate the community on that topic.
