2005 YEAR END REVIEW/ ANNUAL REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Discussed the significant projects that were completed in 2005, issues that arose and mitigation
strategies. Staff will be developing a retaining wall policy and ordinance, follow up with
neighbors to measure perceived impacts prior to development; and work and creating a site on
the city home page where information on any going project can be found.
FUTURE SUBMITTALS
Reviewed the possible development projected for 2006 and the beginning work for the
comprehensive plan, especially the Storm Water Management Plan and the Transportation
element with the 101 Study. The Commission viewed the Met Council wet site regarding the
Comprehensive Plan Update Process.
RETAIL STUDY (MCCOMB GROUP, LTD.)
The commission reviewed the marketing study with McComb Group. It was discussed that any
changes in the land use or zoning would require a public hearing. Ultimately the
recommendation of the study will be brought into the update of the comprehensive plan.
DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
The year end summary of all applications (planning cases) was reviewed. The numbers of cases
was about average except for signs which was significantly higher. The number and types of
permits was also reviewed in context of annual summary. The data on building permits was also
shown in type of housing products approved and the projected population based on these new
units.
