Chairperson Fox noted that there had been several discussions addressing practices by other cities that had never been placed for follow-up. Commissioner Blank believed it was a good idea but that Chairperson Fox’s expectations of the follow-up was overblown; he cited the lack of follow-up on sprinklers as an examples and added that although it had been prioritized by the Planning Commission and the City Council, nothing had occurred. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner O’Connor regarding prioritizing of items, Mr. Iserson replied that the vast majority of items were developer applications, which were always the top priority. He noted that other items such as the building construction and developer ordinance had been on the list for years, although they had come from Council or the City Manager as a priority. He noted that staff had input from the Commission and City Council that had not been addressed, and he added that he apologized that the sprinkler ordinance was not on there. He agreed with Commissioner Blank that it should be and that he would follow up on that item. Chairperson Fox noted that she would like the ridgetop preservation item added as a priority. Mr. Iserson noted that the time to do that would be at the CIP priorities meeting with Steve Bocian. Chairperson Fox believed that having a meeting to order the miscellaneous priorities would keep items such as the sprinklers from falling through the cracks. Commissioner Olson noted that it was good for the Commission to have some input, but he realized that the priorities were ultimately driven by the City Council and the City Manager. Commissioner O’Connor noted that the City Council members stated that traffic congestion and flow were priorities for them. St. Elizabeth Seton Church Noticing Chairperson Fox understood that the noticing for this appeal did not include an email address to submit comments. Mr. Iserson noted that staff had a standard noticing format that included email input, and would follow-up on that item. He did not believe there was any reason to not include email. He added that everyone involved in the project knew Steve Otto's email address. Commissioner O’Connor noted that the newspaper had published various agendas, including the workshop for the Parks & Recreation Commission and Trails Ad Hoc Committee and that an agenda was not published at that time. He inquired whether that could be considered as proper notice. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 10, 2007 Page 25 of 27
