II.        OLD BUSINESS

            The meeting was a continuation of the April 26, 2007 discussion of the Erosion                                Control ordinance adding Chapter 141.  This meeting consisted of motions for                                 changes to        the ordinance

 

            Bill Tizzard submitted a new document to go through with definitions.

           

            The Planning Commission decided to just go through the document that Councilor                            Peter Howison provided the Commission to use and not consider Commissioner                                       Tizzard’s submittal.

 

            The Planning Commission discussed the document submitted by Councilor Peter                              Howison and made the following motions:

 

 

Commissioner Lee Riechel move, seconded by Commissioner Darlene Beckman, that when the ordinance reaches the point of sending to the City Council, that it be included as 154.05.  The Motion was adopted unanimously 4-0.

            There was a lot of discussion in section 1.114 and the three levels of Erosion Control Plans, that the way it was written was very confusing.  For the sake of time being spent on this one issue and not re-writing the whole section the Commission decided to make the following motion:

Commissioner Dick Anderson moved, seconded by Ron Shearer to add “by inspectors defined in 1.115 above” in 117(A) after “Plan approval”.  The motion was adopted unanimously 4-0.

 

Commissioner George Burke moved, seconded by Lee Riechel, that anywhere in the document where it says “owner, or owner or his designee” should read “owner and/or designee” .  The motion was adopted unanimously 4-0.

III.       UNSCHEDULED BUSINESS

 

            George Burke asked the Planning Commission thoughts on having the Planning Commis-                                   sion meetings filmed.  Burke noted that he thought a group paid for the meeting that have                   been filmed and that they are only filed at their discretion and waned to know how the                              Commission feels about requiring the City to pay for filming.

 

            Lee Riechel said that due to the fact that the Commission is the deciding body, it would                          probably be a good idea, especially for the appeal process.

 

            George said he would look into getting the meetings filmed.

 

           

 

 

      The meeting adjourned at 11:00 p.m.
