Page 2 Joint Meeting Minutes March 28$ 1988 :. ----------------------------- The Administrator indicated that the City has always intended to "grow from the core village out" and that this continues to be a major factor in the proposed Growth Management Plan. This method of growth and development relates favorably to the Citys' desire to manage$ in a cost effective manner$ the expansion of municiple services. Significant factors leading to the development of the Growth Management Plan include the leap-frog residential development the City was experiencing; the lack of industrial property that has sewer and water and is along a highway; and the lack of available commercial properties that have municiple utilities. The Administrator indicated that the six major components of the Growth Management Plan are the residential$ commercial$ industrial$ utilities$ parks$ and transporation elements of the community. The plan also requires an implementation section which will guide the City staff in following the goals and objectives as listed in the plan. The Growth Management Plan is a city-wide comprehensive plan that is intended to guide the future development of the community according to the goals as approved by the City Council. Planning Consultant$ Bob Wuornos$ provided a general overview of the Growth Management Plan and the work that has been accomplished to this date. Mr. Wuornos indicated an essential element of the plan is the land use map and future reV1S10ns in the subdivision ordinance$ zoning ordinance$ and zoning map. Mr. Wuornos presented each section of the Growth Management Plan and received comments and input from the group on various desired changes. The following sections of GMP were reviewed: (. 1. Growth Management (Introduction) 2. Background Information 3. Utilities 4. Residential 5. Commercial The group indicated it's desire to have an appendix to the plan to list all of the City goals and policies in a composite form$ along with the goals and policies broken out by each aspect of the plan. Some amendments to the Utilities section were noted including the adjustment of some policies$ and the adding of comments relating to storm sewer. There was also a desire to state the immediate need for a comprehensive sewer and water feasibility study reviewing the possible extension of municipal utilities to the west side of the City. . Mayor Gunkel introduced into the record a letter received from Richard Fredrickson$ 13375 Ranch Road NW$ which indicated his concern over the one per ten acre residential development plan in the northern part of the community. The Growth Management Plan calls for three different residential development zones. One zone in the northern part of the City calls for development and density of one housing unit per ten acres. A second zone surrounding the core village$ but beyond the immediate vicinity of municiple sewer and water is a 2 1/2 acre housing development zone. The third residential zone requires connection to the municipal sewer and water system.
