Mayor Williams co~.mended Steve Carr and the Planning Commis-
sion for the time they spent on the proposed plan. He further
commented that he does not agree with everything in the plan
but on a whole he is very pleased with it.
Mr. Carr stated the population figures utilized are from the
Corp of Engineers, which were in agreement with the figures
from INCOG.
:fir. Carr also stated the Comprehensive Plan would be updated
every three years.
Areas of the Comprehensive Plan discussed were:
Flooding of Creeks (Ranch, Llm and Bird)
Water and Sewer Distribution
Community Surveys
Don Thompson told Council that the major theme at the Seventh
Annual Short Course for Planning Commissioners and Elected
Officers, which he recently attended, was the need for a major
implemented plan for the City. When a~Ctity has this plan and
is faced with any type of litigation, the implemented plan of
that City will stand in a court of law. mr. Thompson also
said another area which was discussed that needs some consid-
eration by the Council in the future is the responsibility
for open areas--should the responsiblity be with the developer
or should the responsibility o:~- the open area be with a home-
owners association. Due to the cost of maintaining these open
areas, he cautioned the City Council on this matter. He said
at the conference it was felt that the most effective plan was
with a homeowners association accepting the responsibility.
He also warned about planning and providing in the comprehen-
sive plan for every type of undesirable activity; such as,
mobile homes, low income housing and undesirable types of com-
mercial businesses.
