The Council held <br />the last meeting with the facilitator on November 26, 2001. At their November 27, 2001 meeting, <br />the City Council referred a revised Comprehensive Plan to the Planning commission for review <br />and requested that they hold a joint public hearing with the City Council. The preference is to <br />have a public hearing in January. <br /> <br />Commissioner Watson stated that he heard that the residents did not like the open house format. <br />They felt they got conflicted or biased information. He said people wanted to see a traditional <br />hearing format. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sweet said people felt they were denied their voice. <br /> <br />A discussion took place regarding the format of the meeting; length of presentation and public <br />hearing portion; start time; whether to accept written comments; where to advertise; and whether <br />maps should be sent to residents. <br /> <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon summarized the decision to hold a public hearing on January 24 at <br />6:00 p.m. Residents can view the information stations from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. and the formal <br />hearing will start at 7:00 p.m. The agenda will list clear steps. The February meeting of the <br />Planning Commission will include the results of the hearing as an agenda item and a <br />recommendation will then be made to the Council. The meeting will be publicized in two <br />publications (Anoka Union, Ramsey Resident), and a colored map will be sent to residents. <br /> <br />Case #12: Monthly Status Report <br /> <br />Noted. <br /> <br />Case #13: Zoning Bulletin <br /> <br />Noted. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 4, 2001 <br />Page 17 of 18 <br /> <br />
