Mr. Brixius explained the process which is generally taken in planning for a community's future. The Planning Tactics document which committee members received is part of Phase One of the Comprehensive Plan update review. This first phase began with the interview process where contacts were made with agencies, groups, property owners, city staff and officials, and representatives of neighboring communities. The planning history of Lakeville has always included a regional perspective. Most of the city of Lakeville is planned to be within the MUSA by the year 2020. Lakeville has gone through rapid growth in the past several years but has experienced positive results from the adopted Strategic Growth Management Plan. As the City grows, more concerns are raised about in-filling and .land use. In response to interview questions, people were generally in favor of lower density development for the City. Residents gave the City high marks for development of community facilities, especially the park areas. In discussions with adjoining communities, it was noted that there is generally good cooperation between cities. Residents and school district .officials continue to be concerned about the pace of development. Mr. • Brixius asked committee members to direct any comments concerning this report to Ron Mullenbach at Ciry Hall.
