MSPAC schedules Sept. 12 PowerPoint to council, flags wastewater and regulatory issues
Summary
MSPAC agreed Aug. 21 to present a PowerPoint at the council meeting on Sept. 12 and set a Sept. 6 deadline to deliver materials to Lynette or Suzanne. Members flagged Section 402 (p.43) of the regulations, comp-plan alignment (pp. 1, 5, 17), and wastewater treatment as key constraints.
Committee members Julie Warren (committee member), Wendy Ward (committee member), Tim Casey (committee member) and Curt Moe (committee member) agreed Aug. 21 to present a PowerPoint to the council at its Sept. 12 meeting. The group set a Sept. 6 deadline for sending the presentation to Lynette or Suzanne so staff can prepare materials for the council meeting.
The committee identified regulatory and planning references the presentation should address, singling out Section 402, page 43 of the regulations regarding permitted uses and zoning ordinances. Tim Casey noted that the regulations and zoning language on Section 402 should be included when explaining how proposed options align with the comprehensive plan, specifically pages 1, 5 and 17 called out by the group.
Members also flagged wastewater treatment as a likely technical limiter that could constrain feasible options; the committee directed that wastewater treatment considerations be incorporated into the timeline and options analysis. The group agreed regulatory issues and a recommended timeline should be developed for the council presentation.
The committee asked that Bill Miller be pulled into a prereview of the presentation before it is finalized and submitted to staff. No formal vote tally or motions were recorded in the minutes; the record states the group "decided to present" the PowerPoint, indicating committee consensus to proceed.
Next steps: prepare the presentation for staff handoff by Sept. 6, incorporate the referenced regulatory citations and comp-plan pages, evaluate wastewater-treatment constraints, and arrange a prereview with Bill Miller ahead of the Sept. 12 council meeting.
