CaII to Order:
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was held

Planner Zweber, Planner Lindahl, and Recording Secretary Hanson.

Additions to Agenda: Senior Planner Zweber stated a few modifications to the agenda. The
Mayor could not be present to swear in Commissioner Kolodziejski and that will have to be done at
a later time. Commissioner Powell was sworn in at an earlier meeting.
Also, with respect to Item 5.a. Approval of the March 23, 2010 Regular Meeting Minutes, Mr.
Zweber stated there was no quorum present of Commissioners from that meeting and therefore the
item should be tabled until such time a quorum is present.

Public Hearings:
5.a. Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance Amending Sections 11 -10 -9 and 11 -1-4 with
respect to the Flood Plain Ordinance (10 09 TA). Planner Lindahl stated that this item was placed
on the agenda to amend the Zoning Ordinance to comply with changes required by FEMA and the
Minnesota DNR resulting from a new Dakota County -wide flood insurance study. However, a
portion of the review process at the county level was overlooked and it could take up to 14 months
to get the item back to this stage. Mr. Lindahl stated that staff recommends the Commission take
any public comments there may be and then table the public hearing until further direction.
Commissioner Irving asked why the item would be tabled and not continued. Mr. Lindahl replied
that FEMA has not given direction as to a specific date when everything will be complete so staff
will have to table the item and re -notice for the public hearing.
The public hearing was opened at 6:35p.m.
There were no public comments.
MOTION by Ege to table the public hearing until further notice. Second by Irving.
Ayes: 4. Nays: None. Motion approved. The public hearing was tabled until further
