Devin will have the discussion with Public Works department regarding snow plowing and
stormwater flooding concerns
The proposed lake is in phase 1 and will be turned over to the city for a park area so the city will
maintain. Investigation is under way to determine what the cost to maintain a lake is.
Water rights will be taken over by the city.
Devin commented that this is the first of three applications for zone change to Creative
Community that will be an Commission's agenda item in the next few months.
2. City Staff will seek guidance from the Commission on the upcoming downtown subarea
planning process.
Don Matson shared what some cities have done to have a successful downtown or
redevelopment an existing downtown.
Common process has 7 steps before implementing a plan:
Startup
Outreach
Vision
Share the vision
Prepare a draft plan
Share the draft plan
Refine the plan with the public
City staff asked that if the Commission has members of the community that they feel would be
valuable as downtown planning committee members, to please pass on their info. A concern
was raised about pushing out existing property owners and uses and the commission and staff
discussed future property values in the downtown, how the change in zoning in the area last
year created legal nonconforming uses, and creating a plan that recognizes existing uses and
works with existing owners.
After discussion, questions and suggestions by the board Mendenhall entertained a motion to
adjourn. Schwartz moved to adjourn. Holm seconded. The study session adjourned at 7:25 pm.
