Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 15, 2008 Page 12 petition for environmental review; and the City Council's determination, based on a 4/1 vote to determine that the AUAR applied without further updating. Coun- cilmember Ihlan opined that there was, within that AUAR, discussion of a mitiga- tion plan that the City Council was committed to follow, in mitigating loss of woodland areas that would not be accommodated by having this right-of--way in place or with a potential turnaround in the park. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in opposition to the motion. Mayor Klausing opined that the AUAR was implemented through development of the area, and as projects came forward, mitigation strategies were enacted at that time, not during the platting process. Mr. Trudgeon concurred with Mayor Klausing's observations; opining that all right-of--way is impacted, and that the AUAR identified the area as low quality with undesirable trees; and further noting that there would also be replanting of trees and landscaping for mitigation purposes. Councilmember Ihlan, referencing page 20 of the AUAR, reviewed comments re- garding moderate wildlife value, specifically in the northern portion of the pro- posed development area and the need to preserve wildlife. Councilmember Ihlan opined that there was nothing in the AUAR regarding a road in that location, and that the area not be re-platted until there was a determination in how to make it work. Councilmember Roe sought clarification from staff that the original Preliminary Plat had been approved in June of 2007; and that the AUAR Update had been completed in the fall of 2007, and did include the proposed right-of--way. Mr. Trudgeon concurred with Councilmember Roe's review. Roll Call Ayes: Roe; Willmus; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: Ihlan. Motion carried. b.
