Mayer 9,052.00 $16,855.85 The Council of the City of Medina and the Medina Planning Commission met in a special session on Tuesday, January 8, 1991 at 7 p.m. for the purpose of a joint discussion. Present: Mayor, Gary Acromite; Councilmembers, Ann Thies and Robert Mitchell; Planning commissioners,Jeff Pederson, Penny Elsenpeter, Dave Onan, Lenny Leuer, Phil Zietlow, Bruce Workman, Steve Leuer and Anne Heideman. Also present, Planning and Zoning Administrator, Loren Kohnen and secretary, Sandie Larson Gary Acromite said that he was enthused about this meeting and said that his personal feeling is that the planning commission is strong and an arm of the council in land application: There were three items he wanted to cover tonight: 1. Difference and criteria of CUP's vs PUD's 2. The format and form that planning commission recommendations go to the council and 3. City ordinances to review. He also said that we should consider joint sessions more frequently to keep strong communications between the planning commission and council. Robert Mitchell went over the differences between conditional use permits (CUPO and planned unit developments (PUD). He said that PUD's allow some custom zoning and also that PUD's are more legally binding and enforcement is easier. Phil Zietlow said why even use CUP's if the PUD is easier? Dave Onan said the the developer has to request a PUD, we can't make them do it. R.Mitchell said that in unique circumstances we want an applicant to do a PUD. There was more discussion about the differences and how to handle a PUD application. The second item for discussion was the format used to send the planning commission recommen- dations to the city council. Lenny Leuer said that by the time the planning commission reviews the minutes, the item has already gone to the city council. There was discussion of the process; planning commission to council and council again. It was explained how changes are made in resolutions, etc. if the planning commission makes correction: after the council has already acted on something. The suggestion was made that when an ordinance is changed or revised of if a new ordinance is approved, that after the attorney has drafted the new ordinance that it should come back to the planning commisiion for review before the council acts on it. Anne Heideman would like to see the comprehensive plan go back to 3 ring binders. G.Acromite said he would work with Donna on control procedures for comprehensive plan dis- tribution, R.Mitchell suggested a work session in the spring on the comprehensive plan. There was more discussion on what needs discussion and it was stated that a council priority was to help the businesses that have failing septic systems to get sewer. The planning commission agreed. G.Acromite asked what some other priorities were. A.Heideman sais she would like to think about it. D.Onan said he would like to see the ordinance book updated and also indexed. The third item for discussion was ordinances changes. L.Leuer questioned ordinances that maybe are no longer needed. G.Acromite said that after indexing maybe we can see if there are things that are not needed. A11 agreed that more meetings were needed to discuss things such as the comprehensive plan, the county's plan, Highway 12, the landfill, etc. It was suggested that a letter be sent to BFI about their closure plan.
