revised general plan gets council's OK
By Cody Gochnour
November 12, 2007 | MENDON -- The City Council approved
the most recent revision of the city's General Plan
with a few last-minute changes.
The Council had a goal to have the plan approved by
the end of the year and they met that goal Thursday
at the body's final meeting of the year. Based on research
conducted by Planning and Zoning Committee member Jason
Wooden, the maximum grade allowable for building lots
was set at 20 percent. The number of water tanks mentioned
in the plan was increased and the decision was made
to update the population estimate. A motion to approve
the plan with the changes stated passed unanimously.
The council also heard from Phil Coulter and Mike
Cox, who have applied for the vacancy left by Councilwoman
Julie Gwilliam's resignation. An executive session followed
the meeting for the council to discuss its recommendation.
Thursday night's meeting was the last for council
members Leslie Larson, Allen Gardner and RoseAnn Brandley.
Councilman Jon Hardman expressed thanks to them for
their service. Results from Tuesday's election are still
unofficial, as election officials are awaiting absentee
ballots to determine a close race among write-in candidates.
In other business, the youth council reported their
activities, including Christmas decoration, an upcoming
dance and the recent formation of a junior youth council.
