HARDCOVER ORDINANCE REVISION AND CONSULTANT PLANNER UPDATE, <br />Continued) <br /> <br />date for the joint Council and Planning Commission work session tentatively scheduled for March 2nd or <br />March 14th. <br /> <br />Franchot stated in his view this is a good idea and suggested that it be called a citizen task force. <br /> <br />McMillan asked whether any parameters have been set for the task group. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated it is Staff’s recommendation that one or two city council members be on the task force as <br />well as some lakeshore property owners and representatives from different types of local businesses. <br /> <br />Printup asked what amount of interest the City has received on this initiative thus far. <br /> <br />Curtis stated there was good interest displayed when this was first placed on the City’s web site, which <br />has since slowed down. It is the intention of Staff to send out some e-mail notices and other things to <br />help generate more interest and participation in the task force. Informational meetings will also be held. <br /> <br />Franchot asked at what point in the process the LMCD and the MCWD would become involved. <br /> <br />Curtis indicated Staff has already contacted both organizations and was told that they would be <br />participating in the process. <br /> <br />McMillan recommended that pervious pavers and other new technology be looked at. McMillan also <br />suggested that the City should promote to a greater degree good environmental behavior by the local <br />residents. <br /> <br />Curtis stated they would like to get industry leaders and builders involved on the task force as well to get <br />their input. <br /> <br />McMillan stated as it relates to the joint work session with the Planning Commission, she would prefer to <br />schedule it for March 2nd and to leave the 14th open to discuss goal setting. <br /> <br />Curtis noted the Planning Commission’s work session is scheduled for March 2nd from 5:30 to 7:00. <br /> <br />Bremer moved, Printup seconded, to schedule a joint work session with the Planning Commission <br />for March 2, 2011, from 5:30 to 7:00, and to direct Staff to proceed with the hardcover ordinance <br />update in accordance with the draft timeline and to authorize the planning consultant to head the <br />project.
