Mrs Howard Dahlgren of "Midwest Planning & Research Inc" — Tel. Federal 9-8953 (Home Franklin 7-6316) was introduced and explained to us that his firm had been retained as consultants by some 25 comm— unities in the Twin Cities# and in particular Sunfish Lake and Mendota Heights,: whose problems were somewhat similar to ours.He not only works out the original problems but in many cases is retained afterwards for continuous consulation and/or occasional help on a per diem basis... 2, Oahlgren pointed out that there were four important steps in the process of working out a plan,,, as follows;— a. Prepare a basic map showing exactly what the village has at the moment.It is from this background that reasonable objectives and standards can be set for the future. bb Work up a Zoning plan which points up the objectives which the village has in mind for the future, In short - in what Find of community do we wish to lave in the future ? The planner suggests the ideas from his experience, ,.but in the final analysis;,; the planning committee and the opuneil have to make the decisions'' c# Work up the subdivision regulations,, because these are the controls which enable the village to aim development in the desired direction, d, Prepare building cedes and other details which help to snake the above controls reasonable and workable.He pointed out that if b,, cg, and d are reasonable they will not likely be upset by the courts, because the law is intended to give a village adequate protection in planning its future. 2. Oahlgren talked for nearly two hours so it is not possible to cover all the matters which he mentioned. His procedure would be to make up a proposal outlining the things that should be done and how they would help us to get them done and the approximate cost of the various steps in the procedurepThe most time sonsuming part of the job is,, of course, meetings with the planning committee and the council to secure final decisions on details, Sunfish Lake took about 8 months with about ten meetings. ThEn the plan has to be sold to the residents of the village through the process of open hearings and discussions which he handless 3 Oahlgren pointed out that we could hold up building permits or sub— division approval for a reasonable time if we are actively engaged in preparing a plan#He also pointed out that both private individuals and dvelopers tend to want a good plan because it protects them t000,, against a bad development which would damage their values. 4. Dahlgren recommended that the planning committee be composed of from five to seven people - that it work with the council members — that it can be informal until the point at which the finished productz is submitted to the council for actiods- that the members be intelligent, ` opera minded,, and if possible have no axes to grind, Lake Village — special meeting — Aug. 22nd — page 20 he possible Costs.
