the enable satisfactory completion of the document elements

the program, that the State provided funding for professional
planning service assistance for preparation of the Comprehensive
Plan. The Village has received its funding allocation and the
State has not provided any additional funding for completion of
the Comprehensive Plan, accordingly, any additional cost for
completion of the Comprehensive Plan must be borne by the
municipality.
Mr. Horniman noted that numerous additions have been incorporated
into the 1988 Comprehensive Plan which were not contained in the
previously recently completed Comprehensive Plan dated 1986. He
suggested that the Village Council sitting as the "Local Planning
Agency" review the 1988 plan to ensure they are comfortable with
the contents of the document as prepared.
Mr. Horniman noted that upon receipt of the Village Comprehensive
Plan a review of the plan will be performed and Department of

recommendations, suggestions, and official objections, and
return the plan to the Village within ninety (90) days. He noted

received from Department of Community Affairs and adopt the final
Comprehensive Plan. Essentially, the Comprehensive Plan must be
formally adopted five months after the April 1 transmittal date
or approximately by October 1, 1989. He further stated that
after the plan is adopted by Council, it is returned to
Department of Community Affairs for a compliance review, and
within forty-five (45) days, DCA will complete its compliance
review to determine if the plan is acceptable in accordance with
the provisions of State Statutes and Administrative Rule 9-J-5,
including their comments on the actions taken regarding previous
noted objections to the plan..
Mr. Horniman suggested that Council schedule Workshops to review
and determine if the plan as prepared is satisfactory to the

changes are necessary for completion of the plan.

Plan supporting documentation from Mr. Caputo.

completion of the Village Comprehensive Plan, following several
comments from Mr. Scott Ladd, the Village Building Official? Mr.
Bradford replied as Village Manager he is ultimately responsible
for the completion of the plan; however, he indicated Mr. Ladd
was assigned responsibility of coordinating the Village
Comprehensive Plan with Village consultants.
Mayor Mackail asked Mr. Horniman if he was comfortable with the
plan draft. Mr. Horniman replied that he has not reviewed the
1988 Comprehensive Plan Draft for legal sufficiency required by
DCA. He noted that the laws applicable to completion of the
Comprehensive Plan provides for two (2) documents, a Plan
Document and a Support Document. Both documents may be combined
into one document or they may be prepared as individual separate
documents. He further stated that the proposed 1988 Plan contains
goals, objectives, policies, and other Elements not contained
in the 1986 document. He suggested that Council schedule
additional Workshops and Public Hearings necessary for meeting
the State requirements for completion of the plan.
He further stated what constitutes the "Comprehensive Development
Plan" are goals, policies and objectives relative to all the plan
elements including monitoring and evaluation procedures
consistent with the "Local Government Comprehensive Planning and
Land Development Act" of 1985.
Councilmember Capretta suggested that Council consider alternate
methods available for completion of the plan and determine the
most efficient and workable proposal and immediately provide for
completion of the plan utilizing the procedure selected.
Three proposals were considered:
1 ) Submit the plan as is to DCA
2) Incorporate Council and staff comments and changes and submit
best possible plan to DCA for review
3 ) Review the plan and make minor changes as necessitated to
accommodate specific desires, goals and objectives of the
Local Planning Agency
