Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 08, 2007 Page 17 Mayor Klausing introduced this item and asked staff to provide an update since the September 24, 2007 meeting and resolution of outstanding issues. Interim Community Development Director Mike Darrow advised that those out- standing items for staff had included: 1) Public Notice of the Meeting, with staff providing post card notice to 430 property owners approximately ten (10) days in advance of tonight's meeting; 2) LEED Certification language of the proposed PUD Agreement, Section 10.e; 3) An alleged map discrepancy between the Environmental Assessment Work- sheet and Planned Unit Development Agreement; and 4) Language in Condition 10.9.d of the proposed PUD Agreement concerning fu- ture transportation improvements at the intersection of Lydia and Fairview Avenues. (2) Mr. Darrow noted that the City and College were in agreement with LEED standard to be reviewed by both parties; however, apologized that this language did not get inserted in the DRAFT proposed PUD Agreement presented in the Council packet for tonight's meeting. Mr. Darrow assured, and college represen- tatives indicated their concurrence, that this language revision to insert "[and the CITYJ" were agreeable. (3) Related to the alleged map discrepancy between attachments or exhibits at- tached to the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and the PUD Agree- ment, Mr. Darrow referenced a letter from Jay Lindgren, attorney for Northwest- ern College, addressing this issue. Mr. Darrow further noted that the exhibits to the PUD do not constitute project specific approval by the City, but that each pro- ject would be required to formally apply for a permit consistent with the City Code. Mr. Darrow further advised that staff had reviewed previous meeting min- utes, Council packet, and EAW submittals, and had determined that the map showing the correct location (of the field house) was a part of the record and cir- culated to the required agencies and interested parties, and included on a CD. Councilmember Ihla~i referenced her copy of what went out on May 11, 2007 to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) distribution list as having been received from TKDA, not the City; and asked staff to explain the relationship of TKDA to the project. Mr. Darrow advised that TKDA was the engineering consulting firm hired by the college; and that it was standard industry practice in preparation for an EAW for an agent of the applicant to compile and distribute the necessary documents. Councilmember lhlan questioned the clarity of the information provided to the public, as well as the reviewing agencies; and further questioned if the City had made any inquiries to determine the actual maps provided to the reviewing agen- cies.
