ADJOURNMENT � • PLANNING COMMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC INPUT The Planning Commission is an advisory body, created to advise the City Council • on land use. The Commission will recommend Council approval or denial of a land use proposal based upon the Commission's determination of whether the pro- posed use is permitted under the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan, and whether the proposed use will , or will not, adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood. The Commission holds informal public hearings on land use proposals to enable you to learn, first-hand, what such proposals are, and to permit you to ask questions and offer comments. Your questions and comments become part of the record and will be used by the Council , along with the Commission' s recommenda- tion, in reaching its decision. To aid in your understanding and to facilitate your comments and questions, the Commission will utilize the following procedure: 1. The Commission Chair will introduce the proposal and the recommenda- tion from staff. Commission members may ask questions of staff. 2. The proponent will describe the proposal and answer any questions from the Commission. 3. The Chair will open the public hearing, asking first for those who wish to speak to so indicate by raising their hands. The Chair may set a time limit for individual questions/comments if a large number • of persons have indicated a desire to speak. Spokespersons for groups will have a longer period of time for questions/comments. � 4. Please give your full name and address clearly when recognized by the Chair. Remember, your questions/comments are for the record. 5. Direct your questions/comments to the Chair. The Chair will deter- mine who will answer your questions. 6. No one will be given the opportunity to speak a second time until everyone has had the opportunity to speak initially. Please limit your second presentation to new information, not rebuttal . 7. At the close of the public hearing, the Commission will discuss the proposal and take appropriate action. • . .

Review of Capital Improvement Pro ram (CIP) by Don Taylor, Finance Director Chair Prazak introduced this item and asked Mr. Taylor, Finance Director, for an • overview of the C.I.P. Mr. Taylor stated that the C.I.P. was prepared in about the same format as in previous years except they tried to describe changes in the programs from last year, as the Commission had requested. Mark Grimes, Director of Planning and Development stated that Mr. Taylor was presenting the C.I.P. much earlier than last year because the City Council wanted the Planning Commission to review the Program before it was brought before the City Council . Mr. Taylor stated that a brief summary is now included at the beginning of each section which should make reading the G.I.P. much easier. The Commissioners agreed that this summary was very helpful . The Commissioners had questions concerning various parts of the program. Mr. Taylor, along with Mr. Lowell Odland, Director of Engineering, responded to the Commissioners questions. It was asked of Mr. Grimes to talk with Rick Jacobson, Director of Park and Recreation about the rational and timing regarding Golden Valley trails and sidewalk construction. There were concerns brought forward regarding some the proposed architectural improvements for Brookview Park. Mr. Grimes will talk with Mr. Jacobson about the Commissioners concerns. III . Review of Winnetka Avenue Plans with City Engineer, Lowell Odland Mr. Odland discussed with the Commissioners the Winnetka widening that is being • proposed.
