(01-086 10 CHAD NABITY - DISCUSSION ON COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Regional Planning Director Chad Nabity was present and he stated that Hall County needs to update the comprehensive development plan. The original plan was from 1970 and was projected to 1990. Hall County needs to look at the new plan and decide where we want to be in 20 years. He stated that there are legal reasons to have an updated plan, in order to do zoning it is necessary to have an updated plan. If Hall County was challenged in a zoning case they may not win with an outdated comprehensive plan. All of the communities including Grand Island, Aida, Doniphan and Wood River need to update their plans. Amick Acres Development was planned in 1970 and this development has most of the lots developed. The county needs to look at the development and where do we want development in the county. People are buying 40 acres and building homes and residential building may not be appropriate in some areas. This cost will need to be addressed at budget time. By having the City of Grand Island, Hall County and the other communities doing the update at the same time it would result in cost savings for everyone involved. John Amick stated that the Doniphan Village supports updating the plan and it would make perfect sense to do it at the same time. Mr. Nabity stated that a consultant would need to be hired and the cost of the plan would need to be included in the 2001-2002 budget. This cost would be in addition to the 50/50 cost share for the regional planning budget. They will need people from all of the communities to participate. There would be a total of six plans.
