( 1 )
A comp. plan allows Developers to view the cities goals and
objectives in reference to zoning, traffic patterns, utilities,
green areas and public facilities.
The plan proposed a bypass to the west of the city between the
Government Center and Eldamian to divert traffic. Forecasting can
assist the city in obtaining easement and rite of ways to
accomplish our possible goals and objectives to control growth.
Questions were asked in reference about the utilities capacity and
how they could handle the growth. Don stated that our water system
is no problem. Our sewer system is the biggest hurdle and we should
be able to handle the growth but the system should all be gravity
fed.
Chris Lannert stated that we should hold workshops or hearings
approx. 3 -6 for public input to assist in the process and provide
input for the Lannert & City Council.

more input.

recordings whenever possible.
We can decide who will host the hearings such as the Planning
Commission, special interest groups or by wards or quadrants.
Chairman Jones asked the Lannert Group to recommend building sites
for our municipal facility.
