Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 24, 2007 Minutes Page 2& Cindy Cooke, 3070 Shorewood Lane Ms. Cook spoke in opposition to this plan, opining that it was too ambitious of a plan for the available space, and would ruin the aesthetics of the campus. Ms. Cook noted changes she'd observed on campus; additional traffic and safety con- cerns; and expressed frustration that the neighborhood had not received notice of tonight's meeting. Dan Cooke, 3070 Shorewood Lane, also speaking by proxy for Tim Cal- laghan, area resident Mr. Cooke spoke in opposition to the proposal, opining that noise of outdoor speakers at the athletic field, as well as staggering times from an administrative standpoint to alleviate traffic impacts, as addressed during the Planning commis- sion process, and conditioned in their approval, had yet to be addressed. Mr. Cooke expressed his disappointment that no neighborhood notice had been pro- vided, when additional signal installations were being considered without public comments. Tim Callaghan Comments (provided by proxy, Dan Cooke) Mr. Cooke provided Mr. Callaghan's ongoing concerns regarding the location of the fieldhouse on drawings, based on language of the proposed P1JD Agreement; safety issues on Lydia Avenue based on proposed relocation of ball fields; exces- sive height of the proposed parking structure, further degrading the community and campus; and potential City liability for potential construction not specifically defined in the PUD Agreement, but based on a general concept plan. There were no further public comments at this time. Councilmember Pust thanked each one who spoke, whether in opposition or sup- port; and thanked the college and city staff for their work on language and other issues. Councilmember Pust opined that many of the questions raised tonight were already sufficiently answered during the Environmental Assessment Work- sheet (EAW) process, providing sufficient information for the Council to make a decision. However, Councilmember Pust opined that one outstanding issue remained, based on comments made earlier this evening, regarding potentially conflicting maps, and noted that, since this issue had not been flagged for staff to research and pro- vide an informed response prior to tonight's meeting, and out of respect for those members of the public who weren't noticed and may want to attend and/or make comment, she was prepared to make the following motion. Councilmember Pust clarified that the motion was not a result of her lack of support for the PUD Agreement.
