Ib.f.S
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Establish Workshop Date(s) - NAC Comprehensive Plan Update
DATE: March 12, 2003
INTRODUCTION:
The Council is asked to establish two dates in which to hold workshops to discuss the
comprehensive plan update, as presented by Northwest Associated Consultants.
BACKGROUND:
At a workshop held March 10,2003, the City Council reviewed the second draft of the
comprehensive plan update that was authored by Northwest Associated Consultants
(NAC). The NAC made recommendations regarding a citywide land use plan, four
historic commercial districts, the transportation plan, and natural resource plan.
Because of the amount of material contained in the plan, the time available at the March
10th workshop was insufficient to allow for complete review of the contents. While
members of the City Council were asked to submit comments in writing, Mayor Mars
suggested later that at least one workshop would be needed to completely review the
content of the NAC study, and subsequent suggestions and recommendations.
Attached is a calendar showing the months of March and April. Available dates for
workshops are shown.
Because of the nature of the discussions, it is recommended that members of the Planning
Commission, Economic Development Advisory Committee, and Environmental
Advisory Committee should also be invited.
Two workshop dates should be scheduled. That way, if a single workshop does not
provide sufficient time to review the entire document, it maybe continued at the second.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend Monday April 14th as the first meeting. A recommendation for a second
meeting will be made at the March 18th meeting.
ACTION REQUIRED:
The Council should, by motion, establish two workshop dates for review of the NAC
comprehensive plan update.
