'APR 2 3 1980 4i y door 396 MR. REVER STATED THAT HE WISHED TO UPGRADE OUR SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE AND SITE PLAN ELEMENT SO THAT WE HAVE THE BASIC TOOLS WHICH BRING ABOUT A GOOD LAND USE PLAN AND THEN USE THE PLAN AS THE LAW INTENDS IT TO BE USED, OR AS THE ZONING GUIDELINE. MR. REVER STATED THAT AS HE -UNDERSTANDS IT, IT WILL BE LAW, AND WE ARE FACED WITH THE FACT THAT WE MUST USE WHAT WE ADOPT AS OUR LAND USE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS CONTACTED SOME CONSULTANTS,AND ALL IV ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO RECEIVING A GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES AND SUBMITTING THEIR PROPOSALS. HE NOTED THAT FOR PLANNING PURPOSES, WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR COMPETITIVE BIDDING, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO PROCEED AND PREPARE THE SCOPE OF SERVICES. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD HAVE ONE WORKSHOP MEETING TO GO OVER THIS VERY BROADLY BEFORE WE AUTHORIZE GETTING CONSULTANTS AND BEFORE MR. REVER WRITES THE SCOPE OF SERVVCE,AND COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER WITH THE ZONING BOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SEE WHAT DIRECTION WE ARE GOING. MR. REVER STATED THAT THEIR NEXT REGULAR MEETING,, WHICH IS THE SECOND THURSDAY IN MAY, HAS A VERY LIGHT AGENDA, AND HE WOULD RECOMMEND, THEREFORE, THAT MOST OF THAT MEETING BE UTILIZED FOR A MAJOR WORKSHOP MEETING. POSSIBLY BOTH BODIES COULD MEET AT THAT TIME AND AT LEAST BE MADE AWARE OF THE BROAD BRUSH CONCEPT BEING PROPOSED. MR. REVER REPORTED THAT HE HAS DISCUSSED THE APPROACH BEING TAKEN WITH THE BOARD OF REALTORS, THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION, AND SOME CIVIC GROUPS, AND IN GENERAL, GOT A FAVORABLE RESPONSE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED THAT THE BOARD SHOULD ATTEND THE PLANNING & ZONING MEETING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 8TH IN ORDER TO OBTAIN AN OVERVIEW OF THE WHOLE APPROACH, AND STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME WRITTEN INFORMATION IN ADVANCE. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT REGARDLESS OF HOW THE BOARD DIRECTS THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO APPROACH THE LAND USE PLAN, THAT IT -WOULD NOT AFFECT THE GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES REQUIRED OF THE CONSULTANTS, AND HE WOULD HOPE MR. REVER COULD MOVE AHEAD WITH THIS IN THE MEANTIME.
