Changes made to the <br />draft Plan since that date are noted in the attached document. <br /> <br />Back2ronnd <br /> <br />Although there are a number of important projects currently nnderway at the City, work on the 2008 <br />Comprehensive Plan update has continued to move forward. The information collected at the <br />commnnity meetings; City Conncil, Planning Commission, PTRC, and EDC work sessions; <br />previous City plans; and requirements set by the Metropolitan Conncil and State Statutes have <br />formed the basis of the draft document. Since much ofthe 1998 Comprehensive Plan is still <br />applicable today, portions of that Plan have been reformatted and included in the draft 2008 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />In order to keep the process moving forward in a productive manner, Staff is requesting that the <br />City Council review and provide feedback on the draft vision, goals, policies, and content for each <br />chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The work session is meant to focus on providing feedback on <br />the overall substance in the draft Plan. This is a working draft, and Staff recognizes the language <br />will need to be reviewed and revised as the process continues to ensure that it is meeting the full <br />intent and goals ofthe City. If you do notice grammar or punctuation errors, please mark them in <br />your copy ofthe document and provide your copy to Staff for review. This will help us be more <br />efficient with our time so we can focus on the content of the document. Your copy can be returned <br />to you upon request. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council WorkSessionfor April 21, 2008 <br /> <br />\\Metro~inet.us'ardenhills\Planning\Comprehensive PlanIMemosl042108 - CC Report - Camp Plan - Vision, Policies, and Strategies.doc <br /> <br />Page 1 of4 <br />
