While this recodification approach is easier in some respects than adopting <br />an entirely new ordinance, certain aspects of the current Code may make the process more <br />difficult. . <br /> <br />We propose to establish a separate billing statement for the zoning code re-write at our <br />current hourly rate of $115.00 per hour. I propose to serve as the lead attorney for the project <br />with assistance to be drawn from my partners and associates as necessary. <br /> <br />Our proposed work plan is relatively staff oriented and would involve the Planning <br />Commission primarily in reviewing permitted conditional and non-permitted uses in existing <br />zoning districts and in any new zoning districts. In other respects, the Commission and <br />Council would be asked to review staff and attorney recommendations for changes. We <br />believe this more limited involvement is warranted given the focus on reorganizing and <br />clarifying existing provisions in the Code, carrying through on previous Council directions <br />such as the extension of the Shopping Center 24-hour performance standards to other Business <br />zones, and amending current ordinance provisions to conform to recent statutory and case law <br />developments. <br /> <br />I believe we can accomplish these tasks by the end of the year, barring any significant <br />intervening developments. The number of hours spent on the project by our office should be <br /> <br />Suite 317 · Eagandale Office Center · 1380 Corporate Center Curve · Eagan, MN 55121 <br />
