Councilmembers present: Jane Voltz, Bill Shelby, Mike McMaster Councilmembers absent: Shorty Valdez, Winfred Bonner, Bob Schrawger, Ferd Torn P&Z members present: John Kuhn, Susie Ramos, Robert Hoppe, Steve Bamsch, Jack Woods, Doris Curl Workshop Session - Call to Order 7:35 p.m. Mayor Connor expressed a concern regarding requirements for impervious coverage in areas designated for industrial -level development. The 50% requirement is seen as excessive by industrial prospects considering locating in Georgetown. The Subdivision Regulations Committee will be reviewing this. Ed Barry led off on a discussion regarding the proposed sign regulations. He and various P&Z members reviewed the nature of comments received thus far in the process. There have been generally positive, constructive remarks along with some complaints that didn't suggest any remedy. The Council agreed to ask the Chamber of Commerce's Retail Council to participate by aiding in the development of flow charts and educational materials which will accompany the ordinance and be distributed to all interested parties. Both P&Z and Council expressed a desire to include representation from all affected and interested groups, including the Heritage Society and sign "consumers" --those who will be reading the signs. The Retail Council will be asked to include members from these groups. Commissioner Hoppe asked about Council and/or P&Z norms regarding communication with applicants and individuals otherwise involved in P&Z actions. Informal communication outside a public forum is alright, as long as the applicant understands that there will be no personal preference given, and any comment made in private will be shared with the rest of the Commission. No action was taken. Mayor Connor adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:25 a.m. APPROVED: { FFESI S A Bill Connor, Mayor Elizabeth Gray, City; ecretary
