PLANNING COMMISSION INTERVIEWS
Interviewee:
UESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
Tell us about yourself.
2. Why are interested in serving on the Monticello Planning Commission? Describe your
experience or interest in land use planning.
3. In your opinion, what have been favorable and unfavorable ways the City has developed
in the past few years?
4. Do you think willingness to seek compromise is a good trait for a Planning
Commissioner? Why or why not?
5. What special opportunities and challenges do you see in Monticello's future in terms of
land use or development? Are you familiar with the Monticello 2040 Vision + Plan?
6. Are you able to regularly attend Planning Commission meetings on the 1st Tuesday of
each month at 6:00 pm? Special meetings at 4:30 or 5 pm?
7. How long do you see yourself serving on the Commission?
8. Scenario: A prospective business owner would like to start a business in a commercial
zone located on the edge of the downtown area and directly adjacent to a residential area.
Before he can start his business, he needs to get a conditional use permit from the City.
The business owner is able to meet all site plan requirements and it appears proper to
grant the permit. However, 10 irate property owners appear at the public hearing and
demand that the City deny the conditional use request because it may result in additional
traffic on a nearby highway. How would you vote on this matter and why?
