IN OTHER WORDS, THEY LEFT THE DEADLINE AT THE ORIGINAL .JULY IST DATE AND WOULD TRY TO COMPLETE THE PLAN IN TIME TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY OPPORTUNITY FOR REVIEW AND PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE CHANGE THAT WOULD COME FROM THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT MR. REVER HAD ADVISED THAT THE LAND USE SECTION WOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER AND READY TO GO BEFORE THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION FOR REVIEW BY THE END OF OCTOBER IN DRAFT FORM. .JOHN MORRISON ASKED IN REGARD TO COMPLETION OF THE LAND USE PORTION, IF THEY ARE SAYING THAT THOSE DENSITIES WHICH ARE ON THE MAPS WHICH HAVE BEEN SHOWN AT THE WORKSHOP WILL BE ASSUMED TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AND FINAL AND THEN THEY WILL GO ON TO OTHER ASPECTS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT BELIEVED THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ABOUT THIS. COMMISSIONER LYONS EXPLAINED THAT IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE LAND USE PORTION, THERE ALSO HAS TO BE SOME WORDS ADDED TO THE ORDINANCES THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THE LAND USE PLAN BECAUSE JUST THE SO-CALLED DENSITY DESIGNATIONS DO NOT DEFINE EVERYTHING THAT THE PLANNERS HAD IN MIND. MR. MORRISON BELIEVED THE PROPOSED DENSITIES ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO WHAT MANY PEOPLE WANT, AND HE DID NOT BELIEVE THIS CAN BE NEGATED BY ORDINANCE. HE EMPHASIZED THAT THEY DO NOT WANT THAT PORTION OF THE LAND USE PLAN CLOSED OUT AND NOTED THAT IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE PLANNERS TO MAKE AN INTELLIGENT DECISION IN CERTAIN AREAS BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THERE IS A LACK OF UNDERLYING DATA. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF HE DID NOT FEEL THAT FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS WAS ENOUGH TIME FOR THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO COLLECT DATA. MR. MORRISON BELIEVED THAT ONE OF THE LESSER EFFORTS IN THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN THE EXTRAORDINARILY POOR PROCEDURE IN PLANNING AND THE REGRETTABLE EXPENDITURE OF SO MUCH MONEY AND TIME TO ACHIEVE SO LITTLE. 00 -I
