OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br /> Hawn inquired whether Gaffron thought the Planning Commission should attend the session entitled <br /> Comprehensive Plan Review- Do You Know Everything You Need to Know. <br /> Gaffron encouraged the members to attend if possible. <br /> Gaffron stated with the staffing shortage being experienced at the present time he will not be able to <br /> complete work on the City's comprehensive plan by the end of June as had been hoped. The City has <br /> hired an interim who is expected to start work the beginning of May, which will provide some relief until <br /> a second assistant zoning administrator is hired. <br /> In response to Planning Commission queries as to how they might help with the Comprehensive Plan, <br /> Gaffron remarked that it would be helpful if the Planning Commission members would <br /> comment on issues they would like to see addressed or revised in the comprehensive plan. Moorse is <br /> preparing a list of questions for discussion. Gaffron also suggested that a Planning Commission <br /> subcommittee be formed to review this issue. Gaffron noted this would be the first major revision to <br /> the City's comprehensive plan since 1980. <br /> Schroeder inquired how this revision might affect Orono. <br /> • <br /> Page 20 <br />
