<br />Paradise Valley Town Council
<br />refuse to hear any evidence from
<br />developers that has not already
<br />heard by the Planning and Zoning
<br />Commission was unanimously ap·
<br />proved Tuesday by the commission.
<br />The suggestion came from Chair-
<br />man Richard Mybeck, who said he
<br />was tired of seeing presentations
<br />changed drastically before they
<br />went to the council for final ap-
<br />proval.
<br />"The basic evidence should be the
<br />same," Mybeck said, otherwise,
<br />"it's apples and oranges."
<br />Mybeck said applicants use the
<br />commission as a "minor league"
<br />presentation in preparation for the
<br />Town Council meeting.
<br />"We could do something else on
<br />Tuesdays," he said.
<br />Commission members take turns
<br />attending Town Council meetings,
<br />and Mybeck suggested that the
<br />representatives speak up whenever
<br />presentations have been changed.
<br />and developers should be allowed to
<br />make those changes before the coun-
<br />cil presentation, they said.
<br />But Paradise Valley Mayor Joan
<br />Lincoln said she does not like the
<br />sound of the resolution.
<br />"Our job is one step further than
<br />the commission's job," she said.
<br />She said the council is not limited
<br />to accepting just the presentation
<br />considered by the Planning and Zon-
<br />ing Commission. Staff reports and
<br />comments from neighbors as well as
<br />results from council members' own
<br />study of the issues must be con·
<br />sidered, she said.
<br />"If we only referred to the Plann-
<br />ing and Zoning presentation, we
<br />would just be hearing an applicatio~
<br />twice " she said, and the council
<br />' " f "would just be a rubber stamp or
<br />the commission.
