COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.01: Adopt Resolution #19-085 Authorizing Submission of the City's 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation to <br />adopt Resolution #19-085 authorizing submission of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan to the <br />Metropolitan Council. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City <br />Council adopt Resolution #19-085. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this is not the final document, as additional revisions are <br />necessary and therefore, he does not want to approve this for submittal until it is finalized. He <br />stated that he does have some formatting and typographic suggestions to provide to staff. He <br />referenced the first priority listed of balancing the suburban and rural characters. He stated that <br />he would not necessarily identify that as the highest priority. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that change could be made. <br />Councilmember Riley referenced page 22, the line item that refers to public art and noted that he <br />does not recall a discussion on public art or funding that type of activity. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that these are higher aspirational elements. <br />He noted that this does not authorize a project but simply helps the City to think about possible <br />opportunities to capitalize on that idea. He noted that it could even involve an outside group that <br />is not requesting City funding. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood confirmed that this comment was <br />made at a number of public workshops. He explained that public art can be interpreted in a <br />number of ways and provided different examples which span from architectural treatments, sign <br />facades, and public art elements. <br />Councilmember Riley suggested that the statement be removed, noting that the City could <br />always consider public art without it being included in the plan. He referenced page 34, noting <br />that it appears the graphic has not been updated from previous years. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that this graphic looks at acreage of each land <br />use type. He stated that a clean version will go forward, noting that this was a track changes <br />format. He clarified that this is not a growth trend but simply shows acreage related to land use. <br />City Council / June 11, 2019 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />
