Councilmember Ihlan requested <br />City Council discussion at a future Study Session. <br />Councilmember Ihlan noted that she had previously <br />provided a copy of a related sample ordinance from the <br />City of Shoreview. <br />Mayor Klausing supported discussion; and questioned <br />whether the Community Visioning process should review <br />the proposed ordinances in that context or whether staff <br />should be directed to review them further. <br />Councilmember Ihlan opined that the Community <br />Visioning process was not an appropriate place for review; <br />and renewed her intent to move that the City Council <br />consider a moratorium on subdivisions before additional <br />issues became apparent. <br />Mayor Klausing expressed concern that the election <br />season may not be an appropriate time for new initiatives. <br />Councilmember Ihlan opined that the Council needed to <br />discuss this issue immediately. <br />Cauncilmember- <br />Initiated Items <br />from Council <br />
