O � 2008. The minutes of the December 12, 2007, regular meeting were approved

� ��
�1ii '� 1. That the record plat for The Lochs at Dalhousie — Phase N, located
� � on the south side of Langhold Road and Dalhousie Drive, within the
O � R-2, Single-Family Residential District, be recommended for
No� approval. No citizens appeared regarding the request. The vote on
Vthe motion to approve was 7 in favor, 0 in opposition, and 0

2. There was discussion regarding extraterritorial zoning. Charlie
� � Haubold noted that the City of Jackson was aware of discussion—
` _ � Ken Eftink had been in contact with city staff.
v� �
� � Ken Eftink gave an overview of peripheral zoning. It is designed to
�� assure orderly growth in areas just outside city boundaries. He gave
examples of subdivisions that were not built to city standards,then
� were annexed into the city and the City had to spend money to
� upgrade the infrastructure. The City wants to avoid that situation in
�v the future. To a large extent, it will protect future homeowners from
� problems and additional costs. The City is starting discussions about
peripheral zoning now that we have a new comprehensive plan that
provides guidelines on how areas surrounding the city limits should
develop. He noted that the County Commission must have a public
hearing and approve peripheral zoning before it could be adopted by
the City. The area cannot be more than two miles beyond the existing
city limits. One of the issues that will be discussed is where
peripheral zoning would take place and how that area would change
over time. Another issue is how to inform property owners that are
within that area. The enforcement of this tool and the budgetary
impacts on the city would also have to be considered.
Charlie Haubold asked the interested persons in the audience to
� provide their names and mailing addresses, so that the city can send
� them information on this issue in the future,to make sure they stay
� informed.
�
C� 3. Charlie Haubold noted that the original committee of City Council
� � members and Planning Commissioners that was established at the
V beginning of the comprehensive plan process would be getting
� together in the next two weeks to discuss strategies far the

•�y M the plan that were not planning and zoning issues, so those would

�� �y.. The Commission had a brief discussion of the transportation section
� n of the draft Capital Improvements Program (CIP). Charlie Haubold
� 0 noted that staff would be preparing articles for the monthly newsletter
o "Cape Chronicles"regarding aspects of and implementation of the
O � comprehensive plan. He noted that this publication was e-mailed to
� � any City resident that signed up and was also available on the City's
� website.
