Kate Aanenson advised the Planning Commission that the October 7, 2008 Planning
Commission meeting had two variance requests for review. Kurt Papke advised Debbie Larson
that he would not be available and that she would need to run the meeting.
Kate Aanenson advised the Planning Commission that the City was proposing a series of three
neighborhood meetings to discuss the area around Highways 212 and 101 and Lyman Boulevard.
The meetings were designed to first reiterate what developments have been approved in the area,
to ascertain what issues the residents may have regarding the development of the areas, and to
potentially address the changing economic conditions impacting development.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
