Mr. Speake stated that Mr. Walters would be paid for his services in reviewing the draft ordinance. He stated that the major differences with the ordinance were relocating certain items such as calling the Subdivision Ordinance a Development Ordinance, incorporating a site plan review process along with several other concerns. Chairman Latimer stated that Item 2.22 was of concern to him. City Engineer Speake explained the PICM, Chapter 2 text was on platting procedures and mainly speaks to public improvements. He hoped the Commission would be ready to vote on the ordinance on March 21 including recommendations from Randy Walters and himself. Chairman Latimer discussed the land use maps and asked Mr. Blackwell for his comment on the project. Mr. Blackwell stated that the Commission had spent the last four to five years working this same project and had paid the consultants over $250,000. who were to set up the thoroughfare plan, etc. and that he hated to see major changes being made. He stated that this would take another • z .~ • • Minutes, Regular Meeting La Porte Planning & Zoning Commission • March 7, 1985, Page 4 six to eight months for each section covered in the master plan information. He stated that we should listen to what the consultants recommended because they were professionals in this line of work. He mentioned that if we try to rennovate what has already been done, we will most assuredly become bogged down on the project and it would take an unnessarily long period of time to complete the project. Chairman Latimer stated that he completely agreed with Mr. Blackwell's opinion and said only minor changes would be made to the map. Mrs. Graves stated that she also agreed with these thoughts and had herself considered making changes to some of the wording, but did not want to change any of the information drastically. With those comments from the Commission, it was decided that the Ordinance would be discussed and voted on at the next meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission on March 21, 1985. 6.
