Motion was withdraWn. Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Anderson, to forward to the Met. Council for its review and approval the attached language relating to the proposed central rural preserve area intended to amend the City's draft Comprehensive Plan, which is presently under review by the City Council and approved contingently by the Met Council. Further discussion: Councilmember Anderson stated that she had supported Mr. Hendriksen several weeks ago when he wanted something placed on the agenda and, therefore, she supported Ms. Kurak with placing this item on the agenda. She stated that forwarding this document was a sign of getting something done with the City's Comprehensive Plan. It does not complete the Comprehensive Plan process, but it does show some good faith. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he did not have a strong objection to the language proposed, though it may be incomplete. His main objection is that they should not be procedural in sending different pieces down to the Met Council. While he supports the concept, recognizing it may be incomplete, he felt it was the wrong way to proceed. Councilmember Zimmerman stated that this action is a departure to what the Council previously agreed to. They had not addressed the four in forty requirement. The other option would be to take the central planning area out completely. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he had been told that the central planning area was added to allow for 2.5-acre development in some other area of the City and that was the trade-off. Now they will have 2.5-acre development to the north, but still require four in forty to the south. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Kurak and Anderson. Voting No: Councilmember Zimmerman. Abstained: Councilmember Hendriksen. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he abstained because he agreed with the concept, but disagreed with what was being proposed.
