Chair Lillehei asked for any questions or comments.
• Commissioner Grenz asked if the Planning Commission would be scheduling
any work sessions to discuss their recommendations. Mr. Kuennen
recommended that the Planning Commission hold a work session to review
the Envision Lakeville report in depth, similar to the other City boards and
Commissions that are working their way through the Envision Lakeville report.
• Commissioner Grenz asked if there was a timeline for forwarding the
Planning Commission's recommendations to the City Council. Mr. Kuennen
stated that the City Council will initiate the strategic planning process in the
first quarter of 2014.
• Commissioner Drotning asked how much time was spent on outside
influences that may have an impact on the plan, such as the Metropolitan
Council. Mr. Kuennen indicated that the task force did not get into that level
of detail. Mr. Kuennen stated that it will be up to each of the boards and
commissions, as well as the Planning Commission, as to how much detail
they want to get into when they begin their in -depth review of the report.
• Commissioner Drotning felt that the City Council will need to provide more
input and direction to the Planning Commission regarding specific areas they
want the Planning Commission to focus on. Mr. Kuennen stated that the City
Council has asked him to present the Envision Lakeville plan to the
Commissions /Committees and ask for items they would like the City Council
to consider.
• Commissioner Drotning suggested joint work sessions with the City Council
and the other Committees /Commissions.
• Commissioner Drotning stated that this is a wonderful report but it is very
broad and it will be challenging to nail down the specific things that need to be
done to achieve the goals identified in the plan.
Chair Lillehei thanked Mr. Kuennen and indicated that the Planning Commission will
be prepared to work on implementation of the Envision Lakeville plan.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
