. '" - Village Council Minutes -3- July 29, 1974 R. Sheehy reported he has discussed the project with Mr. Ronald Imrnsck, DNR, who said he anticipated no problem in obtaining a permit from DNR. The matter was referred to Mr. Sheehy to pursue with Rice Creek Watershed District and DNR, submitting approval from both to the Arden Hills Council prior to proceeding with the project. Case No. 72-50, Comprehensive Development Plan The proposed Arden Hills Comprehensive Development Plan (Revised 1974) was reviewed by the Council and suggestions re wording changes, deletion of repetitive statements and correlation of maps and text were made. . Planner Schmid reminded the Council that a Comprehensive Development Plan must be a flexible document containing continually changing materials describing a program for the Village. It should not be confused with Zoning, which is the implementation of the Plan. Schmid explained that the Comprehensive Plan can be used as the basis for reaching determinations in the Village (i.e. zoning changes, etc.). If the change is in accordance with the policy statements of the Plan, it can be deemed ,"o.k. to proceed". Schmid said that the legal basis of the Plan comes mainly from the policies; a "policy statement" should back up each "goal". In discussion of ~h~ Park Plan, Schmid said this Plan should also include goals, policy standards statistcs, .etc.,indicating what the Village intends to do; without this, there would be no basis for implementation of the Park Plan. After discussion, the Council commended the Planning Commission for its untiring work and effort in the development of the Plan, and concurred that a con4ensus should be achieved by the Council re recommended changes to the Plan prior to its reconsidera- tion by the Planning Commission. (Council members agreed to convey proposed changes to each other in an effort to obtain a consensus.)
