use. Much of the format should remain the same when the new plan is adopted, but new data and statistics will be necessary. We also are considering hiring a planner specifically to plan the Hoffinan's Comers/Hansen parcels so we have a definite plan for those areas. Bill Short from the Township will find a list of potential planners. We briefly discussed where Hansens and Hartford are at in their development process. SEH needs to be working on those parts of the plan that do not require public review. There are data from the Census Bureau that can be incorporated. Other non -controversial items like projected population growth, and roads can be done before presenting them to the public. Kim Anderson inquired about the survey that our former city intern, Walter Powell, had been working on. She offered to pick up developing the survey. SEH is responsible for compiling all the data and organizing the final draft plan. Nuisance/Pawnbroker ordinances The mayor provided Lindner with draft copies of the Nuisance and Pawnbroker ordinances so he might add to them. Once finished, we can move ahead with scheduling public hearings. General discussion Mayor Emeott informed us the Ong/O'Phelan properties are again on our horizon. They are moving forward with a surveyor/engineer who will try to make their parcels sub - dividable. We will not allow spot zoning (R4 in this area to meet their wishes. Any subdivision must be logical and orderly and fit surrounding zoning requirements. They have two "chimney" lots behind R3 and R1 zoning areas. Their driveways must be able to become roads. Paul concluded the discussion by talking about an omnibus ordinance of administrative ordinances. This is sort of a precursor to a city code. Mr. Lindner adjourned the meeting at 8:45PM.
