PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS t APPEARANCES Dean Johnson - Resource Strategies, Comprehensive Plan - Johnson explained the Comprehensive Plan document is meant to be taken in general use but the city should stick to the plan or may be subject to a lawsuit. Resource Strategies can not get into great detail but has provided a single source document to allow persons and committees to know where to go for further information. Johnson explained the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) has determined 2020 MUSA growth. Met Council has began to concentrate on 2040 MUSA growth, which will effect the service boundaries on the water shed districts. Met Council is close on predicting the 2 to 4 year possible growth. Met Council would like the traffic forecast within 5 years. Met Council will look hard to find anything that would be in conflict in their growth trends. Johnson felt Centerville's growth is within line of the metropolitan forecast, so if the City sticks to the plan, no alterations will be required. Although if someone stops in and wants to change the plan with hard facts the City can address Met Council for a change. Johnson explained laws have changed and the zoning ordinance must stay consistent with the subdivision ordinance. Johnson addressed the mixed-use districts and suggested the City look at the downtown area with some creative options such as, smaller lots. Although the city is limited to their options as far as growth. Further, the City's ordinances should be consistent and comply with Met Councils requirements. Such as, ordinance provision requiring sewer connections to be on record, providing incentives that would affect present or future business. Johnson 2
