Councilmember Ihlan further opined that, until such public <br />comment was heard, the AUAR was a waste of public dollars; and <br />strongly encouraged the City Council to engage in public input as <br />soon as possible and then consider what scenarios should be incorpo- <br />rated in the AUAR. <br />� Mr. Stark recommended that the City look at as many permutations as <br />!� possible; emphasizing that this is not a consultant-driven recommen- <br />1� dation, but recommended by staff in the City's best interests, in order <br />1� to be proactive rather than reactive. <br />1� <br />�� <br />14 <br />l� <br />1� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�Q <br />F�] <br />j <br />�� <br />23 <br />Additional discussion was held regarding types of scenarios for con- <br />sideration and staff rationale for including them in the AUAR. <br />Councilmember Roe opined that the AUAR was a development tool <br />for planning and environmental concerns; and could be used as a <br />valuable tool for the Council to know if a future development project <br />was viable and how it would impact the area. <br />Councilmember Pust concurred with Councilmember Roe's observa- <br />tions. <br />�� Mayor Klausing observed that the City didn't own the land in ques- <br />�,� tion, and that while the public input was used to formulate the Com- <br />�r� prehensive Plan, when that plan was in place, there were certain per- <br />�� mitted uses within that framework; and the AUAR could ensure the <br />�8 existing Comprehensive Plan and future developer proposals allowed <br />�� for appropriate mitigation efforts. <br />3+J <br />31 <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�'r <br />�� <br />�� <br />Mr. Phil Carlson, representative of DSU, commented on the impor- <br />tance of noting that the AUAR was a review and analysis of informa- <br />tion, not an automatic development approval, but gauging affects for <br />potential development scenarios within the context of the Comprehen- <br />sive Plan; with provisions and Council discretion in allowing or disal- <br />lowing specific development scenarios. <br />Klausing moved, Roe seconded, to approve an amendment to the ex- <br />isting contract with DSU and provide additional funding in order to <br />
