ITEM NO. 1-Presentation by Mr. Dan Boutwell of Municipal Planning Resources Group,
Inc. regarding update of City Master Land Use Plan.
Mr. Dan Boutwell of Municipal Planning Resources Group made a presentation. During his
presentation, councilmembers were presented a proposal for the preparation of a Comprehensive
Land Use Plan.
Mr. Boutwell spoke briefly about his firm and the planning services they offer exclusively to
municipalities, which includes comprehensive planning, code preparation, land use planning,
professional staff extension, community surveys, annexation plans and planning training
seminars.
Next, Mr. Boutwell addressed planning philosophy. He said this could be broken down into four
steps by asking four questions of comprehensive planning: Where are we now? Existing
conditions...demographics...Land Use; Where do we want to be? Goals and objectives; What do
we want? Plans...Thoroughfares...Parks...Land Uses; and How do we get there?
Implementation...Ordinances. Mr. Boutwell went on to say that a map would be provided and
should be readily available for public view.
In closure, Mr. Boutwell said his firm would review the city's ordinances, zoning, and
subdivision regulations for conflicts and make an evaluation to the city. He also recommended an
annual review of the comprehensive plan.
