Trout Lake council reviews county comprehensive-plan materials; septic policy questioned
Summary
Council members reviewed park/open-space existing-conditions materials and heard that the county aims to submit a draft comprehensive plan to the state by the end of June; resident concerns about septic policy were raised and planning commissioner Rick Graves said the comp plan may not be the place to address septic systems.
At the June 3 meeting, Pat Arnold led a learning-session review of comprehensive land-use planning materials focused on park existing conditions and open space. The minutes state the county is drafting a comprehensive plan to submit to the state by the end of June and is using chapters from the previous plan.
Council members and attendees raised community septic as a concern; the minutes record that Rick Graves said the comprehensive plan 'isn't the place to say anything about it.' The council updated the existing conditions list during the meeting and discussed the limited formal obligation of volunteer planning commissioners to consult community councils. The council also noted the prevalence of open-space zoning and park/recreation designations in local mapping materials.
Council members expressed an interest in inviting planning commissioners to a future meeting for further discussion.
