Finke provided background information on the discussion the Council and Planning
Commission have had recently regarding staging and growth plans related to the
Comprehensive Plan. He advised that the Planning Commission recommends removing
the ability for a property to "jump ahead" and to amend the staging and growth plan to
shift property into the staging period one staging period later, with the exception of
business, commercial and industrial properties. He stated that later discussion of the
Planning Commission recommended for a property to be allowed to "jump ahead" but
only by two years. He provided information displaying how the capacity for development
would be impacted by the proposed amendment, noting that the City would be able to
meet or exceed the Metropolitan (Met) Council requirements even with the proposed
amendment. He restated that the Planning Commission recommended reducing the
ability to "jump ahead" from five years to two years, noting that the incentive based
criteria would still apply. He stated that because of the incentive criteria necessary to
"jump ahead" staff did not believe that many developers would choose to utilize the
option with a period of two years because of the additional measures that are required.
He stated that the Council should consider the concentration of development within a
staging period, explaining that through this model there will still be large portions of
contiguous land that will be developed noting that the development would simply be
postponed five years. He stated that in order to avoid this a separate or different
amendment would be needed to break up the staging periods to avoid the large
contiguous areas.
Mitchell stated that he was on the Planning Commission the previous month and voted
in favor of this request. He stated that most of the Councilmembers ran their election
based on slowing growth.
Anderson stated that as he understands the plan it will simply slow down the growth
within a limited geographic area of the City and does not alleviate the concentration of
that growth. He noted that if that concern is to be addressed it would need to be done in
a different manner. He stated that this plan is not lacking but simply believed that
additional measures could be done through planning to break up that growth.
Cousineau agreed that this would simply be slowing the growth and noted that further
changes could be made when the Comprehensive Plan is amended in the next few
years.
Martin agreed that this plan follows the direction of the Council to slow the growth until
the time when the Comprehensive Plan is amended, which also allows additional time
for possible intersections to be upgraded. She commended staff for their efforts.
Johnson stated that this was the product of Finke's phenomenal work and he should
receive the credit.
Martin stated that this is also a result of public input and comment.
Anderson stated that this is a great first step.
Mitchell stated that his decision was based on the decrease in the forecast from the Met
Council as well as the public sentiment. He agreed that this is the first step in the
process in a better method of planning.

Cousineau referenced the language "and similar uses" and questioned if that language
is a bit broad.
Finke noted the language "and similar uses" could simply be removed. He stated that
Martin suggested the language "similarly licensed facilities".
Batty stated that there are other elements, such as independent living, and was unsure if
that use would be licensed. He stated that the Council may not want to inadvertently
exclude that use.
Finke noted that there is no timeline for this amendment and advised that additional staff
time could be used to gather additional information and definitions.
Moved by Anderson, seconded by Cousineau, to table the Ordinance Regarding Nursing
Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and Similar Uses; Amending Chapter 8 of the City
Code, directing staff to provide additional information including definition to bring the
matter back no later than the second Council meeting in February. Motion passed
unanimously.
Summary
C. Resolution No. 2015-10 Establishing 2015 Appointments and Designations
to Various City Services, Authorities, Commissions and Agencies (8:09
p.m.)
Johnson presented the annual action item to establish the appointment and designations
for 2015. He referenced page two and advised that South Crow River News is now titled
Crow River News and will be updated as such.
Mitchell stated that he was able to talk to the other members of the Council to ensure
that everyone was satisfied with their appointment and designations. He was pleased
that the liaison position has become more robust. He was also pleased with the
recruiting efforts and appointments to the Planning Commission.
Moved by Martin, seconded by Anderson, to approve Resolution No. 2015-10
Establishing 2015 Appointments and Designations to Various City Services, Authorities,
Commissions and Agencies. Motion passed unanimously.
D. Saturday City Council Office Hours Discussion (8:13 p.m.)
Johnson stated that in the past the Council has set Saturday City Council hours, which
have previously been held the third Saturday of each month. He stated that he has been
approached by members of the Council who questioned why the hours are still being
held. During the past three years there have only been one or two residents that have
taken advantage of the Saturday hours. He stated that residents are able to request
meetings with members of the Council as needed.
Pederson stated that in his experience he would plan to attend his Saturday hours and
would then not meet with anyone.
