Minutes of April 4, 1992
Page 2
City Attorney Dennis McLerran discussed the "regulatory taking" of
property and substantive due process. He discussed the test for
substantive due process includes three questions. First, is there
a valid public purpose? Second, were the means used reasonably
necessary? And third, are the regulations unduly oppressive on the
land owner? A brief discussion followed.
McLerran went on to discuss the scope of his review of the
ordinance thus far and what he intends to review and revise with
Robison in the coming weeks.
McLerran briefly reviewed the Reasonable Use section of the
ordinance. A discussion of the commission ensued.
The commission also discussed some of the enforcement and legal
defense issues of the ordinance.
citizen Bernie Arthur proposed that this ordinance be tied to
funding sources to purchase some properties that the city may
designate as not developable under this ordinance. Robison said
-4IÞ the city is looking into alternatives.
Mr. Hildt noted that some properties have in the past and may in
the future be purchased with city storm water funds due to the
areas storm water value.
A brief discussion ensued regarding the determination of a species
of local significance. Citizen Kate Jenks stated that she thinks
the determination should be based in science and not merely on what
the community finds popular. Mr. McLerran said that more work will
have to be done in outlining this process.
