HomeMy WebLinkAbout1998-01-27-Planning and Zoning Commission MinutesDiscussion included comments from the park board members that they would like to see plats and
make their comments before the P &Z Commission accepted plats,and that they would be willing
to change their meeting time to a different night so that plats could stay on schedule for P&Z.
They also voiced the opinion that the city should accept the land as opposed to the money for
park land dedication,so that the City would have a reasonable amount of green space through the
developing neighborhoods.Representatives from both committees will meet for further
discussions and coordination.
