"I feel that the recommendations do not fully represent the large body of residents and people who work downtown," said Mary Ellen Jackman, s downtown resident and owner. "This is our chance to get it right," said Mark Ryan, a resident. Ryan and others spoke of future protests to the plan if the process is not done carefully. Mayor Michael W. Daniels and the City Council then revised the list of board members, removing two city commission members and one RUDAT ... Implementation Committee member from the list. Two more downtown residents who also own businesses downtown were added to the board. Mayor Daniels suggested that one representative living in close proximity to the downtown area be added from each of the three affected neighborhoods. Young will organize the first meeting of the board within three weeks. The board's duties will include giving the council a time frame needed to review the city's master plan, RUDAT plan and the Downtown 2020 plan and to make recommendations. The board's meetings will be open to the public. non-votin- Jewelers Square OnlyN. in CottonTree Mon Sat 10am 2230 - LLADRp- opment Department decided to hold off on enacting the plan temporarily in order to form the advisory board. This decision came after much public opposition to the plan was voiced at a Planning Commission meeting last month. "The board would be set up to review the draft plan. We took to them as being an advisory board to the city," said Ken Young, Community Development director. More opposition was heard at Tuesday's council meeting after downtown residents and business owners saw who was on the city's recommended board "We think the representation of the residents who live downtown is woefully inadequate," said Laurel Backman Riddle, downtown resident and business owner. More than 30 residents were in attendance, many agreeing with Backman Riddle. The city's recommended list included just one downtown resident out of 14 voting representatives. Additional downtown residents were listed g in positions. City attorney Tina Petersen said the advisory board will have the authority to vote about its recommendations, but those will still have to be approved by the Planning Commission and the by the restraining order obtained by Friends of Maple win," Gibby said. Although the restraining order case has been decided, Gibby was scheduled to re-- . open negotiations for 'a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at Wednesday night's city council meeting. By 9 p.m. Wednesday, that discussion had not begun. Mapleton city and Gibby previously had an MOU detailing several agreements between the parties, in which Gibby agreed to build only 47 homes on his tot instead of Mountain. Gibby said he initially agreed to the MOU because he thought the city might win if the issue was brought to court. However, different cases in the state since then have had rulings that may favor Gibby. "The landscape has changed in the last year, and I do believe we will prevail if it has to go to court," he said. Although Gibby has requested changes to the MOU, he said the mayor and city council have made a good effort to follow the MOU. Most city officials have worked with Gibby, but other elements in the city have worked against the MOU. ; 100. Gibby said Wednesday afternoon the agreement expired some time ago and the city has not kept up its side of the bargain, so a new deal needs to be set.
