Sara Irvine, City Administrator <br />December 4.2002 <br />Page 2 <br />The Metropolitan Council has scheduled the Minnetonka Ucacli comprehensive plan review for public <br />hearing before its Livable Communities Committee on Monday, January 6, 2003 and action by the full <br />Metropolitan Council on January 8, 2003. Both dates are within the 180-day extended review period <br />requested by the City. <br />The Metropolitan Council staff review report finds that the plan is generally acceptable, e.xcept with <br />respect to the proposed regional trail. We believe that the need for, and Minnetonka Beach ’s cooperation <br />in incorporating the regional trail into its plan, is a matter of regional importance. I would encourage the <br />current City Council to consider removing the proposed final adoption action from its December 9, 2002 <br />agenda to allow regional stakeholders the opportunity to express their comments and instead adopt a <br />resolution requesting a further 30 day extension of the review period. This also would allow the new ly <br />elected City Council the opportunity to consider the matter before the Metropolitan Council takes action <br />on the plan. <br />Staff will be forwarding a copy of the revised staff report by December 16. 2002. If you have any <br />questions concerning the above noted statutory citations, please contact David riicisen. Offue of General <br />Counsel at 651-602-1706. Ifyou have any questions about the plan review process and the staff review <br />report please contact Robin Caufman, AlCP, Senior Planner and Principal Reviewer, at 651-602-1457. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lee SHeehy, <br />Regional Adminis|fetor <br />Metropolitan Coum <br />CC:David Uergerson, Minnetonka Beach City Council <br />John Breon, Minnetonka Beach Citv’ Council <br />James Gasch, Minnetonka Beach City Council, M.iyor Plect <br />Nell E.
