Gaffrorf^^^^O <br />Title: Senior Planning Coordinator <br />Agenda Sectioi.: <br />Zoning <br />item Description: Resolution - Extension of Due Date for Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Attachments <br />A - Resolution <br />B - June 10,1999 Met Council Letter <br />C - Completed Extesion Request Worksheet <br />The City is mandated to complete an update of its Coiiiprehensive Plan. The due date was <br />established as the end of 1998 for all cities. At O. no's request in January 1999, Metropolitan <br />Council granted an extension of the due date to June 30, 1999 <br />As Council is aware, in order to complete the Comprehensive Plan Update 'in-house', it is imperative <br />that we have a full complement of Planning/Zoning staff to free the Senior Planning Coordinator <br />from the day-to-day planning/zoning duties. The abrupt res nation of the Planner/Zoning <br />Administrator in early April occurred at an inopporPine time, ana nve just within the last month <br />returned to 'full strength* in the planning/zoning area. However, : are .still 4-6 months from <br />completion of the Update if no further setbacks occur. <br />At this time staff is suggesting an additional 6-month extension to December 31, 1999. This <br />coincides with the extension period which Met Council staff is authorized to approve without formal <br />Met Council action, per the attached letter from Craig Rapp. <br />The completed Extension Request Worksheet is also attached for your review. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Adopt the attached resolution requesting an extension of the due date for completion of Orono's <br />Comprehensive Plan update to December 31, 1999. <br />« I
