Discussion Summary 

1.	MAPD staff reviewed the four major elements of the January 2002 Wichita Land 
Use Guide Map and Sedgwick County Development Guide that need to be 
modified.  Project time frames and methodologies were reviewed and discussed 
for each element. Frequency and dates of future Committee meetings were also 
reviewed.

2.	The Committee suggested the following:
?	The Advanced Plans Committee should meet once a week in order to stay 
current with the work done by staff. Thursday mornings at 7:30 a.m. were 
suggested as a good meeting time, dependent upon Planning Director 
availability.
?	Regarding the functional land use classification element, staff will mail 
out on a weekly basis (as completed), the sector map sheets showing the 
"existing" and "staff proposed" land use classifications.  This will allow 
the Committee a few days to review the proposed changes prior to the 
weekly Committee meetings.
?	Regarding the small city growth area element, the Committee suggested 
that the Advanced Plans Committee sponsor meetings held in each of the 
four quadrants of Sedgwick County to receive input and comments from 
local stakeholders (in addition to the meetings planned by MAPD staff 
with small city officials).

3.	The Committee wondered whether the MPO can designate or specify minimum 
design standards pertaining to urban arterials that cross several different 
municipal jurisdictions. Staff will enquire and report back on this matter.


Meeting adjourned at 8:50am. Next meeting set for Thursday, July 3, 2003 at 7:30 am, 
Planning Director's Conference Room, 10th Floor City Hall.
