The Planning Commission will NOT be holding a public hearing on the proposed revisions to the City’s flood plain ordinance at their meeting tonight; the item has been pulled from the agenda due to some jurisdictional requirement that was not met. (Nothing to do with the City of Northfield, its ordinances, or procedures.)
When I asked City Planner Dan Olson for details, he responded,
Apparently FEMA did not give one community in Dakota County the “full right of notice and appeal” to according to the federal process. As such, FEMA is now ruling that all communities in Dakota County have to stop their adoption process while FEMA attends to the procedural oversight for the one community. This will take approximately 1 year.
Just in case anyone was going to attend tonight’s meeting just for the public hearing….
Griff, did you do the dual posting thing, or did I when I selected “Announcements” as the category?
Seems to be a glitch, Tracy… automatically posts duplicates when “Announcements” is selected. I’ve unticked it for now.
