METROPOLITAN COUNCIL COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING BILL RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: The City of Chanhassen is fully aware of its
responsibilities for planning and the interdependence of
Chanhassen to other levels of government.
WHEREAS: The City of Chanhassen has and will fulfill its
responsibilities by updating our existing comprehensive,
utility, transportation and parks plans and will continue to
coordinate these plans with the necessary units of government.
WHEREAS: The City of Chanhassen strongly believes that local
representative government and planning is the most effective
way to improve the quality of life. Proof of this is reflected
in the Twin Cities area achieving a number one ranking in a
recent study of quality of life indicators in 18 major
American metropolitan areas.
WHEREAS: The City_of Chanhassen firmly believes that the
proposed legislation designated as the Comprehensive Planning
Bill and proposed legislation implementing the Rules and
Regulations of Metropolitan Significance will irrevocably
abrogate the local planning process as it now exists.
BE IT RESOLVED: That the pending legislation granting the
Metropolitan Council broad new powers be defeated by the
Minnesota State Legislature.
That additional tax levies allowing increased appropriations to
the Metropolitan Council be denied at this time.
That if the Legislature in its wisdom deems legislation is
necessary to require mandatory controls implemented by a
new level of government, that a study be undertaken at this
time to measure the impact of the Development Framework and
Regulations for Matters of Metropolitan Significance. Further,
that the results of this study and proposed legislation be
disseminated to all levels of government, affected industries,
trade unions, and agricultural interests for comment within a
realistic time frame.
A motion was made by Councilman Shulstad and seconded by Councilman
Kurvers to adopt the Comprehensive Planning Bill. The following
voted in favor thereof: Mayor Klingelhutz, Councilmen Kurvers,
Neveaux and Shulstad. No negative votes. Motion carried.
