Principal Planner Trudgeon replied that staff had not received that direction, but could do so if <br />they are directed by the Council. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen agreed that the Comprehensive Plan adopted in December 2001 <br />should be filed with the County. <br />Mr. Gordon noted that if there is any wording throughout the document that it is unclear it should <br />be pointed out because they do want the code to be understood if it read by residents, a <br />developer, etc. <br />Commissioner Sweet noted that the word easement vacation is a legal term and not a term that <br />most people would understand. In regards notifying the public for public hearings, she did not <br />feel that anyone should be given the option of using any other document than what is filed with <br />Anoka County. <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon noted that the reference that is made in the City Code refers to the <br />public hearing notice and where the City receives their lists for notification. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen felt that under Section 9.03.03 Zoning Amendments the requirement <br />for notification should include properties over five acres in size. <br />Mr. Gordon noted that the language pertaining to notification was taken from state statute. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen felt that individual notices should be sent out for all rezoning <br />requests. <br />Consensus of the Committee was to remove the language as proposed regarding notification and <br />require that notification be required for all rezoning requests. <br />Councilmember Hendriksen requested that the posting of signage notifying the public of the <br />possible rezoning be required as well. <br />Commissioner Sweet recommended that the Code indicate how long the sign should be posted, <br />but not simply state "reasonable notice" because it is to wide open. She felt that a time frame <br />should be determined and then complied with. <br />Principal Planner Trudgeon noted that current practice is to post the sign as soon as possible and <br />then taken down after Council has taken action, but a lot of times they do get a request from the <br />property owner to remove the sign after some time. <br />Commissioner Sweet did not feel that the City should remove the sign simply because the <br />property owner requested that it be removed. <br />Chapter 9 Committee/January 31, 2002 <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />
