<br />Motion: Member Peper moved, seconded by Member Stone to approve the amendments to City Code Title <br />11, Chapter 11, Sections 1102 E through G, eliminating the second hearing during Final Plat reviews. <br /> <br />Member Bakeman said she is concerned about reducing required Council hearings. Reducing hearings reduces <br />citizen input. <br /> <br />Member Stone said a final plat hearing is not required and is redundant. <br /> <br />Chair Mulder said that there should only be one public hearing, to focus input at the hearing with the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Member Bakeman said the public should be able to comment on changes in the final plat. This could be <br />disenfranchisement of the voter. Could the terminology be changed, not calling it a hearing, but allowing for public <br />comment? <br /> <br />Thomas Paschke explained that he knows of only Roseville that requires a second hearing for a final plat. <br /> <br />Member Traynor asked if the Council could change their procedure for hearings or make a decision to allow for <br />comment. <br /> <br />Ayes: 3, Stone, Peper, Mulder <br />Nays: 3, Traynor, Ipsen, Bakeman <br />Motion fails <br /> <br />7.
