PlanningBoard | 2009-01-12 | 6 | Director Woodbury stated that this item is already on the work program for 2009/2010 and will be given priority. Board member McNamara stated that at previous meetings when the Board discussed the work program, legal responsibilities were identified and given high priority. She asked beyond legal obligations what were other driving forces for identifying priorities. Director Woodbury stated that projects where the City was not in compliance with state law were given priority. Projects related to sustainability, for example the green ordinance, were given priority. Waterfront and commercial design guidelines were considered important. She stated that when the economy turns around and development projects increase Staff wants to be prepared. If the Board has certain items that are perceived as a high priority Staff would appreciate receiving this information. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft stated she would like the Bay Friendly Ordinance expanded to include elements of green infrastructure. She asked if the historic preservation ordinance amendment would be presented to the Board. Directory Woodbury stated that the historic preservation ordinance is in a different section of the code and the ordinance will be presented to the Historical Advisory Board (HAB) then to Council. Staff could organize a workshop for the Board or members can attend the HAB workshop as private citizens. Board member Lynch suggested the Board consider sending a representative to the HAB workshop. A Board discussion ensued on a public art ordinance. Board member Cook asked who in the City was responsible for fee policy and when did the last update occur. Directory Woodbury stated that a nexus study was done a few years ago for Planning and Building, Fire, and Public Works that led to an overhaul of the master fee schedule. A Consumer Price Index (CPI) escalator was also put in place. Every year in June the City Council adopts a resolution that includes the CPI increase. Board member Cook asked if the school district was handled separately. Director Woodbury stated she was not aware of the process for the school board. President Kohlstrand stated that the last item on the work program has to do with the North of Lincoln strategic plan. She stated that Directory Woodbury had mentioned looking at form based code amendments for this project but is not stated in the work program. She asked if it was an ongoing project listed elsewhere.
