v~ she feels they fell short of what they committed in interviews and through their proposal <br />submitted. However, theix mapping does meet what she expected from them and she could <br />not have generated the maps without their assistance. Mr. Spalding who served on the <br />corrumittee believed that the Planning Director as well as the committee did an outstanding <br />job through various meetings taking questions and thorough discussions. <br />Mr. Burns with Chamber of Cammerce felt that the master plan for the chamber addressed <br />two major important issues first the plan addresses the development of vacant or un-used <br />parcels and second the redevelopment of existing parcels which is very important. The City <br />needs something in place that will not just sit on a shelf and collect dust. He believes that it <br />is imperative that the City adopt the update and use it as a starting point and continue to <br />move the City forward. The outstanding issues of vacant buildings and unsightly parcels can <br />not be addressed until the City and Business commuauty has something in place to follow to <br />make sure everyone is moving in the right direction at the same time. He urged Planning <br />Commission to pass the update to Council and hoped that Council would pass the update as <br />is. Mr. Koeth voiced that it was important to remember that the Master Plan is a living <br />document that should direct not only Planning Commission but Council as well. It should be <br />looked at many times not only by the Planning Director but by everyone continuously and <br />not just sit on a shelf. Mr. Bohlmann believes that the submitted updates look good and <br />needs to be followed. He urges Council to approve the plan as is. <br />W. Spalding motioned to approve the proposed 1Vlaster Plan that has been worked on for <br />rnany months in the condition that what is being presented to Council as is, in the strongest <br />possible manor as it is a document that will guide not only Planning Commission but the City <br />as a whole into the future. S. Hoff-Smith seconded the motion which was unanimously <br />approved. <br />Mr. Koeth welcomed Mr. Bohlmann to the Planning Commission and advised him that the <br />newest member of the Planning Commission is assigned the task of serving as Planning <br />Commissions representa.tive on the Landmarks Commission. <br />VIIe ADJOURNMENT: <br />R.
