Member items. Larry Crouse asked about the site plan review planning area discussed in the September 11, 2001 City Council minutes.  Les Mangus stated that the area is normally the 3 mile extraterritorial jurisdiction and in the case of Andover this is from Dry Creek, just north of 29^th Street south to ½ mile south of 31^st Street South and from the County line to Indianola Road.  Chairman Allison asked if the new site plan appointment still has the Mayor recommending a member and if the council rejects the member they can recommend a member.  Mr. Mangus stated that is correct.  Gary Israel asked how many members of the Committee this will affect.  Mr. Bridges stated that at this time there are 4 open seats with Doug Allison, Don Kimble, and Larry Crouse’s 3 year term seats waiting for a determination of this issue and Joe Freeman’s seat is vacant and his unexpired term must be fill.  Chairman Allison asked if one of the seven members of the Committee is to be a Council member.  Mr. Mangus and Mr. Bridges said yes.
