PROP'D CCMBINATIONi BOARD OF APPFAIE/ PIANNING a:;w.uSSION Council was referred to a letter from Attorney Filla dated 1-26-90, relative to combining the duties of the Board of Appeals and Planning COmmission. Filla reported on a survey he conducted with surroW1ding communities to determine if they utilize a separate body to perfonn the duties of the Board of Appeals; White Bear Lake is the only city wtrich has a separate Board of Appeals, the majority of communities delegate the Board's statutory duties to the Planning Planning Commission. ~ '!he Attorney stated it may be more efficient to utilize the Planning COmmission for both functions, rather than separate bodies, based on: the number requests currently suhnitted, the number of meetings required to review applications in a tllnely rranner, staff support time required for Board agendas, and duplication of staff time when matters are presented to both bodies for review. Filla stated. the all member of the Plarming COmmission may serve as the Board or a subcammittee may be designated.
