TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
NOVEMBER 23, 1982
Regular Meeting Minutes
1. President Tepedino called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. The meeting
was held at Fowler Junior High School - Lecture Room, 10865 S.W. Walnut
Street, Tigard, Oregon.
2. ROLL CALL: Present: President Tepedino; Commissioners Clifford Speaker,
Don Moen, Bonnie Owens, and Roy Bonn. Excused absence: Phil
Edin, Mark Christen, Deane Leverett and Richard Helmer.
STAFF: William Monahan, Director of Planning and Development; Jeremy
Coursolle, Associate Planner; and Diane Jelderks, Clerk Typist.
3. The minutes from November 9, 1982 were considered. President Tepedino
stated that minor corrections had been made to staff prior to the
meeting. Commissioner Owens noted that on page 4, second paragraph that
she was concerned that the number of units per acre was correct not the
size of the lot. Commissioner Donn moved and Commissioner Moen seconded
to approved minutes as corrected and amended. The motion carried
unanimously by members of the Commission present.
4. COMMISSION COMMUNICATION
o NPO #3 submitted a memorandum regarding the Energy Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
41 President Tepedino opened the Public Hearing by reading the usual
statement of authority for the procedure to be followed in the meeting.
• President Tepedino wanted to publicly congratulate Bonnie Owens as he
had heard a number of comments on how well she had handled the CCI
meeting in his absence. She has been doing a fine job for the City,
Planning Commission and staff.
• President Tepedino provided his personal thought from his perspective
as Chairman of the Planning Commission. He emphasized the urgency of
the timing of this effort. There is a lot of pressure both externally
and internally. We have a responsibility to the growth of the City
with the planning that is being done. We have the responsibility as
Planning Commissioners to the City, the public, ourselves and the
NPO's. The NPO's will gain from a Comprehensive Plan. For too many
years we've been fighting the difficulty of the various Neighborhood
Planning Organizations diverting from what was the main thrust of the
plan or disagreeing with Neighborhood Plans on the other side of the
street.
•
He feels it is necessary to adopt a Comprehensive Plan at this time.
He also wanted to emphasize that life is a compromise and those who
will not compromise are like trees which refuse to bend in the wind,
and we all will suffer from those who refuse to compromise. The staff
is doing its utmost to provide the 'NPO's, the CCI, Planning Commission
and City Council with the best information they have been able to
develop. However, he would submit today that the Comprehensive Plan
will not be perfect. He would suggest that we take a long range,
philosophical view, and try to get something in place, because the
right to amend is theirs, the NPO's, CCI and City Council, to modify
and correct as needed. In his estimation it would be worse to leave
the City without a plan than to have a plan that is not totally
adequate. He felt to drop the ball now would be a terrible disservice
to the City of Tigard.
5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: ENERGY
Jeremy Coursolle, Associate Planner explained how this is the second
element of the Comprehensive Plan. The first element, Citizen
Involvement, was adopted by the City Council, November 22, 1982. The
second element deals with energy and conservation, the City's role and
the energy sources that are economically feasible to any structure
within the City of Tigard. (Staff has attempted to set some direction
rather than placing mandates.) That way when information is available
to us, the economy turns around, and interest is there within the
community, we then will start looking at some means to help to
conserve the energy that we do have. The NPO's have all had an
opportunity to look at this document. Unfortunately, the CCI did not
reach a total consensus. Staff has requested that each NPO
chairperson have comments submitted prior to the public hearing.
Mr. Coursolle, reminded the Commission that this is a legislative
hearing requiring a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the
City Council.
Staff is proposing one change, adding policy 9.1.3. THE CITY SHALL
ENCOURAGE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT WHICH EMPHASIZES SOUND ENERGY
CONSERVATION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. (This was a suggestion from a
member in NPO #4.)
Associate Planner Coursolle reviewed the energy document which
includes Energy Conservation and Local Governments' Role, Alternative
Energy Sources, Findings, Policies and Implementation Strategies.
• The document was reviewed page by page with staff and Planning
Commissioners making changes and corrections as necessary.
• NPO #3's submission was read into the record by Associate Planner
Coursolle. Discussion followed between Commissioners and staff as to
the intent of this recommendation.
• Associate Planner Coursolle explained locational criteria. He stated ,
that established and developing areas should be compatible and that
locational criteria would insure this would happen.
PAGE 2 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 23, 1982
• Commissioner Speaker suggested that instead of replacing strategy #3
with the NPO #3 recommendation that instead it should be added as
number 4 under implementation strategies, then renumber the following
strategies.
• President Tepedino suggested that this might be folded into
Implementation Strategy number eight. Commissioner Speaker did not
feel this would be appropriate. Further discussion followed.
• Commissioner Moen felt it was inappropriate to either stick it in or
tear it apart and put it in here and there. He was not sure what the
intent of NPO #3 was. Commissioner Speaker was not sure it mattered
what the intent was, only that in the future the document would be
read and followed.
• It was determined to add NPO #3 recommendation as follows:
9. Locational criteria shall be established to minimize travel in
order to conserve energy.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY - No one appeared to speak
CROSS EXAMINATION AND REBUTTAL - No one appeared to speak
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION
• Commissioner Owens moved and Commissioner Speaker seconded to forward
the Energy Document to the City Council with corrections and
amendments with recommendation of approval. The motion carried by
unanimous vote of Commissioners present.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
General Information on Comprehensive Plan
• Director of Planning explained that staff had reserved the school
facilities for December 7 through December 11th for public hearings on
the Comprehensive Plan.
• Discussion followed between Staff and Commissioners regarding the time
schedule. It was decided that the Commission would hold public
hearings on Tuesday, December 7 at 7:30 P.M.; Thursday, December 9 at
7:30 P.M.; and Saturday, December 11, starting at 1:30 P.M. , if
necessary.
• Commissioner Owens suggested Commissioner Speaker be responsible for
all typo-errors to minimize time.
• President Tepedino asked if the NPO's and CCI had received all the
documents. Staff stated that the Transportation document was to be
completed and distributed by Tuesday, November 30th. All other
documents have been available and will be provided to the NPO's by
that date.
PAGE 3 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 23, 1982
• Commissioner Bonn questioned the status of the floodplain issue.
Director of Planning and Development Monahan stated the City Council
had decided to wait until after the first of the year to deal with the
apparent discrepancy and clean up the code.
• Commissioner Owens reported on the results of the CCI meeting which
she had been presiding over. She stated the committee had come a long
way from the first meeting. There had been a lot of hostility and not
much working together. The full number of potential members has not
always been present. First the documents are reviewed by the NPO
groups then the Chairperson would bring their suggestions to the CCI
meeting. The Energy and, the Citizen Involvement document were dealt
with quite easily. They are presently working on the Findings,
Policies and Implementation Strategies. NPO #3 has rewritten a
portion of the Housing document and brought it to the CCI.
• Associate Planner Coursolle stated that the Housing document was the
first document distributed and was prepared prior to involvement of
the Word Processing Staff. He also requested each NPO submit written
comments so they could provide the Planning Commission with input. He
is now in the process of reviewing and responding to these comments.
• Commissioner Owens continued that everyone is under a time pressure.
They are continually hearing that there is not enough time to
accomplish everything, especially from one person. There has been a
tremendous amount of effort and energy from Bill and Jeremy providing
teem with information while also accepting all the input from the
NPO's. At times it seemed the input was grinding the wheels to a
halt. She felt the committee had come a long ways but she was still
concerned about keeping the meeting going especially when they deal
with the Housing and Transportation elements.
• President Tepedino questioned if NPO #7 is still active. Associate
Planner Coursolle stated the NPO #7 has been meeting, however they
have not had a consistent membership. They only have six people on
their NPO, but they do not appear consistently. They are committed to
the task.

INTRODUCTION
This report provides background information for Tigard in relation to LCDC
Statewide Planning Goal #13: Energy Conservation. In addition, it recommends
findings, policies and implementation strategies to meet the Goal #13
requirements.
The Statewide Planning Goal #13 reads: To conserve energy. Land and uses
developed on the land shall be managed and controlled so as to maximize the
conservation of all forms of energy, based upon sound economic principles."
Since the oil embargoes of the, 1970's, traditionally cheap and unlimited
petroleum energy sources have become .a thing of the past. This has caused all
levels of government, the private sector as well as individual households to
closely scrutinize energy usage and cost.
The rapidly changing energy situation is one of the foremost problem of our
time Energy prices and supplies have been directly related to inflation,
interest rates, and economic growth. Due to the past development of our
cities as high and inefficient energy users, local governments and communities
are becoming more involved in energy managment.
For example, the City of Portland instituted a mandatory weatherization
program requiring residents to meet insulation standards at the time of resale
or within five years.
ENERGY CONSERVATION AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' ROLE
The energy crisis and the adoption of the LCDC Goal and Guidelines #13:
Energy Conservation, have provided the impetus for local governments in Oregon
to seriously consider their role and the opportunities available to them to
influence a reduction in local energy usage.
Local government can influence energy conservation by two basic strategies:
1. Adoption of an energy efficient land use pattern which reduces the
consumption of non-renewable energy; for example by:
a. Stemming urban sprawl;
b. Ensuring that developments occur in a fashion which supports
public transit, bicycle and other alternative modes of
transportation;
c. Allowing higher densities and mixed uses in appropriate areas of
the community.
2. Through the adoption of ordinances which provide for energy
or or the use of alternative energy sources; for example
b y: CeM�ru.ra
a. Requiring mandatory weatherization of all structures, particularly
residential; and
Page 3
b. Adopting development standards which require the consideration of
solar design in any new development;
c. Adopting solar access ordinances; and
d. Providing information to the general public concerning the methods
and monetary benefits of alternative energy sources.
The role of local government can differ according to the type of strategy
being considered. On the supply side, or the development of alternative
resources, the local government's role is primarily permissive, allowing for
the experimentation and application of alternative energy sources. State and
federal government agencies have a more active role in increasing energy
supplies through tax incentives and basic research. However, it should be the
responsibility of the local jurisdiction to keep abreast of state and federal
programs and possible avenues for their assistance in local energy matters.
In addition, the local government is often given the opportunity to play a
more affirmative role regarding the reduction of consumption of energy, e.g. ,
Portland's Weatherization Program.
In the Portland Metropolitan Area, transportation and residential uses
together account for 50% of the energy consumption. Automobile use accounts
for 75% of all transportation energy, while mass transit uses. only 1%.
used for heating
residential energy is use �y. g
Approximately 70X of all reside gy '�sl
(Source: Portland Bureau of Planning, 1977). Energy usage is illustrated in
Figure I and II.
The events of the 1970's have underlined the reality of a fluxuating energy
supply and continually rising energy costs. As an attractive place to live
and work, the Portland Metropolitan Area will be adversely affected. This
effect can be reduced through the application of conservation measures.
According to the "Portland Energy Conservation Project" study, the
Metropolitan Area could save as much as 34% of its projected energy usage in
the mid-1990s with conservation programs. This possible savings is
illustrated in Figure III.
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES
Currently, the City of Tigard has not developed energy sources. All of the
City's energy supplies come from sources outside the City and from traditional
sources, including gas, oil and electricity. However, there are numerous
energy alternatives that can come from within the City. The problem with
suggesting a list of alternatives is that it is often difficult to distinguish
between those alternatives which have been proven cost effective by research
and practical application, and those ideas which are conceptual in nature and
require extensive engineering and economic feasibility studies to determine
their applicability to Tigard. The following is an identification of those
alternatives which may be readily applicable to all structures in the City
with a brief explanation of their merits.
Wood
An energy source that is already widely used in the Tigard area is wood. The
proper use of wood in conjunction with an efficient woodburning stove can be a
viable substitute to space heating rather than traditional energy sources.

The major problem with the use of wood is air pollution. The Oregon State
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) airshed studies have identified wood
heating as a significant source of uncontrolled pollutants and a major cause
of violations of the state and federal ambient air quality standards in the
Portland Metropolitan Area. Major metropolitan areas as well as a growing
number of smaller cities are experiencing pronounced degradation of wintertime
air quality, including low lying visibility impairment, soiling and odor
problems.
Certain airsheds are more susceptible to wood smoke impacts than others,
depending on local topography and meteorological conditions. Currently, more
than 50% of Oregon's households use wood for some space heating. Heating with
wood is expected to continue as more and more individuals try to offset
accelerating home heating costs of conventional sources of heat.
Unfortunately, a wood stove can emit 224 times more particulate than an oil
furnace and up to 457 times more than natural gas for the same heat value.
(Source: DEQ, 1981 Air Quality Annual Report)
The growing concern over air quality with the increasing use of wood can be
somewhat mitigated by the public becoming more educated on the proper and
least polluting means.
Solar
The potential use of solar as an energy source will be directly dependent upon
the community's willingness to protect solar access for the life of a
structure. Passive and active solar systems to augment space and water
heating have had substantial merit, especially in new constructions. Except
for the most obvious constraint, lack of access to the sun, many existing
buildings also readily lend themselves to retrofitting and remodeling
activities which would allow them to take advantage of solar radiation. Since
solar is becoming much more cost effective, is environmentally benign, is
reliable and is one of the few significant energy resources that can be
implemented by individuals and businesses, it's expected that solar energy
usage will grow in popularity.
The use of solar energy falls into two very broad categories, active and
passive. In very simple terms, active solar can be defined as any system
which uses mechanical equipment to take advantage of the energy from the sun.
Recent advancements in the design and manufacturing of active solar systems
have resulted in systems being available which, when installed properly, can
have an operating life of 20 to 30 years.
Passive solar systems rely totally upon the siting and design of a building to
extract benefit from the sun's energy without the assistance of any mechanical
equipment. Passive solar techniques were used by the oldest civilizations,
and the principles of solar design have remained virtually unchanged. It has
only been recently that these same principles have been accepted and made
marketable in the construction of contemporary buildings.
Most reliable sources state that a combination of active and passive solar
systems have the potential to "economically provide 50-80 percent of the
heating, cooling and hot water needs of many homes in Tigard."
Mi
Page 7
There are many areas within the community where both passive and active
systems could be used; but the availability of solar access cannot occur by
happenstance. If the community desires to make solar a viable energy source,
then regulatory measures which ensure rooftop, south wall, and south lot line
solar access must be adopted.
Wind*
A growing body of research indicates that the State of Oregon has considerable
wind power potential. Development of this resource over the next two decades
could provide a significant portion of needed electric energy, about 10% of
peak demand according to the latest forecast. Private and public utilities
are developing commercial-scale wind power farms' (or arrays of wind power
generators); the technology is available and the costs are favorable.
Authorities in the field expect wind power, given present trends, will begin
by the mid-1980s to be extensively developed as a cost-effective, conventional
source of electricity.

1 Mean wind speed is based on Rayleigh speed distribution of equivalent
mean wind P ower density.
2 Wind speed is for standard sea-level conditions. To maintain the same
power density, speed increases 5%/5000 feet (3%/100m) of elevation
(m/s = meters per second).
An average wind speed of 12.0 miles per hour or greater is required to make a
good potential wind power site. This corresponds to a wind power class of 3
or more. Washington County possesses areas having that wind power class.

The full potential for wind generation in the City cannot be generally
determined. Each geographic location would have to be individually reviewed.
Small-scale wind power development - for residences, farms and small
commercial applications is not expected to provide a significant amount of
electricity by comparison with utility and heavy industry use By the year
2000 it will reduce only 7% of the capacity expected in 1985 for the
larger-scale wind power developments in Oregon. The wind power potential of
Oregon, and presumably the Washington County area also, will be developed for
the most part through large wind turbine "farms."
Large-scale wind power farms will not have major environmental impacts except
those related to timber production. One researcher with the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation concluded: "Environmental impacts of large windfarms are mild and
easily mitigated in comparison with those of conventional energy
alternatives." Such utility-scale farms are expected to require between 0.41
acre and 3.66 acres of land.
Wind turbine generators can interfere with television signals, but this is not
a major problem. Interference can arise with the receiving antenna within .
three miles (UHF) or one-fourth mile (VHF) of the rotating blades. The effect
is reduced by directional antenna, local television repeaters, circularly
polarized transmissions, or cable reception. In remote areas where wind power
farms are likely to locate, the population is sparse and residents typically
use directional antennas or have cable television; therefore the problems of
interference in UHF televisions reception are minimal.
The task force on wind of the Oregon Alternate Energy Development Commission
found little reason to be concerned about low frequency noise from wind power
generators. Calculations and field observations show insignificant noise
levels from most large wind turbines.
The aesthetic impact of wind power farms on the landscape should also be
insignificant in Washington County areas. Wide spacing of each individual
generator lessens the appearance of domination in an area. One nation-wide
attitude opinion survey, in which respondents assumed much closer spacing,
showed a definite aesthetic preference for wind turbines over power
transmission towers and lines.
At present there is no absolute right to wind access in Oregon. As with solar
energy access, the lack of such legal rights reflects an absence of interest
in the past. Treatment of this question of wind access may be required at
both the local and state level. For example, it is possible to create a local
wind access permit system to define the legal wind access of a property owner
and thereby prohibit owners of adjacent land from conflicting uses. Given the
general locat ion of the wind power resource in Washington on Count
Y areas,
it
seems unlikely that the absence of wind access legal definitions would impede
the location of wind power farms although the larger. "farms" may not be
appropriate uses in Tigard. For residential or small-scale uses elsewhere,
such legal definitions would be more important.

should address the usage and location of Wind Generation Energy Devices (WGED).
FINDINGS
o Transporation and residential uses account for approximately 'half of the .
total energy consumption in the Portland Metropolitan Area Industrial
and commercial uses comprise the other half of energy consumption. ,
o The City 'V no developed energy sources.
o Conservation of energy at the local level is best achieved through
programs aimed at energy efficient transporation modes and land use
patterns, reducing travel distances between residential and work areas,
infilling vacant land, increasing densities of land uses as a whole and
encouraging alternative energy uses.
o All forms of nonrenewable energy sources used today are finite and the
cost of these sources have increased as the supply has decreased.
o A reduction in the community-wide use of nonrenewable energy sources and
the development of renewable energy resources would have beneficial
impacts on both local and national economy.
o Mass transit systems can have a positive influence upon energy consumption
y
but require higher
density corridors and activity areas to be effective.
o The availability of cheap energy in the past has resulted in the
construction of residential and commercial buildings that are energy
inefficient. Weatherization and insulation of existing and new structures
would substantially reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling
these structures.
o Although it is a widely used substitute for traditional energy sources,
woodburning stoves can have adverse affects on air quality if improperly
used. J
o Alternative architecture and site design considerations can affect energy
consumption; such as structure orientation to the sun, landscaping,
topography and adjacent structures.
o Small scale wind generating devices may be a viable alternative energy
source for Tigard residences.
o The private automobile consumes about 75% of all petroleum used in
transporation in the Portland Area.

TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
NOVEMBER 23, 1982
Regular Meeting Minutes
1. President Tepedino called the meeting to order at 7:35 P.M. The meeting
was held at Fowler Jurior High School - Lecture Room, 10865 S.W. Walnut
Street, Tigard, Oregon.
2. ROLL CALL: Present: President Tepedino; Commissioners Clifford Speaker,
Don Moen, Bonnie Owens, and Roy Bonn. Excused absence: Phil
Edin, Mark Christen, Deane Leverett and Richard Helmer.
STAFF: William Monahan, Director of Planning and Development; Jeremy
Coursolle, Associate Planner; and Diane Jelderks, Clerk Typist.
3. The minutes from November 9, 1982 were considered. President Tepedino
stated that minor corrections had been made to staff prior to the
meeting. Commissioner Owens noted that on page 4, second paragraph that
she was concerned that the number of units per acre was correct not the
size of the lot. Commissioner Bonn moved and Commissioner Moen seconded
to approved minutes as corrected and amended. The motion carried
unanimously by members of the Commission present.
4. COMMISSION COMMUNICATION
o NPO #3 submitted a memorandum regarding the Energy Element of the
Comprehensive Plan.
5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
e President Tepedino opened the Public Hearing by reading the usual
statement of authority for the procedure to be followed in the meeting.
• President Tepedino wanted to publicly congratulate Bonnie Owens as he
had heard a number of comments on how well she had handled the CCI
meeting in his absence. She has been doing a fine job .for the City,
Planning Commission and staff.
• President Tepedino provided his personal thought from his perspective
as Chairman of the Planning Commission. He emphasized the urgency of
the timing of this effort. There is a lot of pressure both externally
and internally. We have a responsibility to the growth of the City
with the planning that is being done. We have the responsibility as
Planning Commissioners to the City, the public, ourselves and the
NPO's. The NPO's will gain from a Comprehensive Plan. For too many
years we've been fighting the difficulty of the various Neighborhood
Planning Organizations diverting from what was the main thrust of the
plan or disagreeing with Neighborhood Plans on the other side of the
street.
4110 1110
He feels it is necessary to adopt a Comprehensive Plan at this time.
He also wanted to emphasize that life is a compromise and those who
will not compromise are like trees which refuse to bend in the wind,
and we all will suffer from those who refuse to compromise. The staff
is doing its utmost to provide the 'NPO's, the CCI, Planning Commission
and City Council with the best information they have been able to
develop. However, he would submit today that the Comprehensive Plan
will not be perfect. He would suggest that we take a long range,
philosophical view, and try to get something in place, because the 10
right to amend is theirs, the NPO's, CCI and City Council, to modify
and correct as needed. In his estimation it would be worse to leave
the City without a plan than to have a plan that is not totally
adequate. He felt to drop the ball now would be a terrible disservice
to the City of Tigard.
5.1 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: ENERGY
Jeremy Coursolle, Associate Planner explained how this is the second
element of the Comprehensive Plan. The first element, Citizen
Involvement, was adopted by the City Council, November 22, 1982. The
second element deals with energy and conservation, the City's role and
the energy sources that are economically feasible to any structure
within the City of Tigard. (Staff has attempted to set some direction
rather than placing mandates.) That way when information is available
to us, the economy turns around, and interest is there within the
community, we then will start looking at some means to help to
conserve the energy that we do have. The NPO's have all had an
opportunity to look at this document. Unfortunately, the CCI did not
reach a total consensus. Staff has requested that each NPO
chairperson have comments submitted prior to the public hearing.
Mr. Coursolle, reminded the Commission that this is a legislative
hearing requiring a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the
City Council.
Staff is proposing one change, adding policy 9.1.3. THE CITY SHALL
ENCOURAGE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT WHICH EMPHASIZES SOUND ENERGY
CONSERVATION, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. (This was a suggestion from a
member in NPO #4.)
Associate Planner Coursolle reviewed the energy document which
includes Energy Conservation and Local Governments' Role, Alternative
Energy Sources, Findings, Policies and Implementation Strategies.
• The document was reviewed page by page with staff and Planning
Commissioners making changes and corrections as necessary.
• NPO #3's submission was read into the record by Associate Planner
•
Coursolle. Discussion followed between Commissioners and staff as to
the intent of this recommendation.
o Associate Planner Coursolle explained locational criteria. He stated
that established and developing areas should be compatible and that
locational criteria would insure this would happen.
PAGE 2 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 23, 1982
III/ 4110
• Commissioner Speaker suggested that instead of replacing strategy #3
with the NPO #3 recommendation that instead it should be added as
number 4 under implementation strategies, then renumber the following
strategies.
• President Tepedino suggested that this might be folded into
Implementation Strategy number eight. Commissioner Speaker did not
feel this would be appropriate. Further discussion followed.
•`, Commissioner Moen felt it was inappropriate to either stick it in or
tear it apart and put it in here and there. He was not sure what the
intent of NPO #3 was. Commissioner Speaker was not sure it mattered
what the intent was, only that in the future the document would be
read and followed.
• It was determined to add NPO #3 recommendation as follows:
9. Locational criteria shall be established to minimize travel in
order to conserve energy.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY - No one appeared to speak
CROSS EXAMINATION AND REBUTTAL - No one appeared to speak
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION
• Commissioner Owens moved and Commissioner Speaker seconded to forward
the Energy Document to the City Council with corrections and
amendments with recommendation of approvl. The motion carried by
unanimous vote of Commissioners present.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
General Information on Comprehensive Plan
• Director of Planning explained that staff had reserved the school
facilities for December 7 through December 11th for public hearings on
the Comprehensive Plan.
• Discussion followed between Staff and Commissioners regarding the time
schedule. It was decided that the Commission would hold public
hearings on Tuesday, December 7 at 7:30 P.M. ; Thursday, December 9 at
7:30 P.M.; and Saturday, December 11, starting at 1:30 P.M. , if
necessary.
• Commissioner Owens suggested Commissioner Speaker be responsible for
all typo-errors to minimize time.
• President Tepedino asked if the NPO's and CCI had received all the
documents. Staff stated that the Transportation document was to be
completed and distributed by Tuesday, November 30th. All other
documents have been available and will be provided to the NPO's by
that date.
PAGE 3 - PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 23, 1982
4110 4110
• Commissioner Bonn questioned the status of the floodplain issue.
Director of Planning and Development Monahan stated the City Council
had decided to wait until after the first of the year to deal with the
apparent discrepancy and clean up the code.
• Commissioner Owens reported on the results of the CCI meeting which
she had been presiding over. She stated the committee had come a long
way from the first meeting. There had been a lot of hostility and not
much working together. The full number of potential members has not
always been present. First the documents are reviewed by the NPO
groups then the Chairperson would bring their suggestions to the CCI
meeting. The Energy and the Citizen Involvement document were dealt
with quite easily. They are presently working on the Findings,
Policies and Implementation Strategies. NPO #3 has rewritten a
portion of the Housing document and brought it to the CCI.
o
• Associate Planner Coursolle stated that the Housing document was the
first document distributed and was prepared prior to involvement of
the Word Processing Staff. He also requested each NPO submit written
comments so they could provide the Planning Commission with input. He
is now in the process of reviewing and responding to these comments.
• Commissioner Owens continued that everyone is under a time pressure.
They are continually hearing that there is not enough time to
accomplish everything, especially from one person. There has been a
tremendous amount of effort and energy from Bill and Jeremy providing
them with information while also accepting all the input from the
NPO's. At times it seemed the input was grinding the wheels to a
halt. She felt the committee had come a long ways but she was still
concerned about keeping the meeting going especially when they deal
with the Housing and Transportation elements.
• President Tepedino questioned if NPO #7 is still active. Associate
Planner Coursolle stated the NPO #7 has been meeting, however they
have not had a consistent membership. They only have six people on
their NPO, but they do not appear consistently. They are committed to
the task.
