Besides Lindner, <br />Commission Rafferty was present. Also present were Dan Jochum, city planner, Councilwoman -elect Gretchen <br />Artig-Swomley, Bob Upzen, Walter Powell, Councilman Tom Rasmussen, and Mayor Paul Emeott. <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />Interim chair Lindner introduced the comprehensive plan process. City Planner Dan Jochum then reviewed his intent <br />and agenda for the public input meeting scheduled for January 9, 2007. He introduced the "SWOT" (strengths, <br />weaknesses, opportunities, threats) model he intends to use throughout the plan update process. The meeting will <br />consist of large group presentations and small breakout group discussions to engage the community in the vision <br />process and the overall plan development process. <br />Ordinance Updates <br />Mayor Emeott shared three draft ordinances he's received from the city attorney's office. The PUD ordinance is the <br />most relevant as the council is prepared to enact it. Paul advised the Planning Commission to draft a list of people <br />who will serve as resources for the PUD implementation process (city planer, city attorney, landscape architect, <br />others as we see fit). He discussed how the city will likely adjust its fee schedule to cover the cost of plan review. <br />Hoffman Corner redevelopment <br />Paul handed out copies of the Beard Group's presentation materials from their presentation to the city several months <br />ago. Solomon has withdrawn its intent to redevelop Hoffman's Corners and Beard has stepped up their efforts. <br />General information <br />Paul handed out copies of Judge Raymond Krause's June 14, 2006 decision in the matter of Bryan Hansen's <br />detachment -annexation effort. The intent was to educate people as to exactly what Judge Krause included in his <br />decision. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:40PM. Interim chair invited all to next Tuesday's city-wide meeting at the White Bear <br />Town Hall. <br />Jim Lindner <br />Planning Commission interim chair <br />
