COUNCIL MINUTES APPROVED 76 Councilmember Lyden said he has read the report. He isn't making a recommendation. He asked 77 staff for a scaled down version of how this would rank for an EIS requirement. Staff responded that, 78 based on the study,there is not a need to do an EIS. 79 Randy Rennaker, 379 Carl Street,recommended that the council actually review the Environmental 80 Board meeting recording. He suggests that it was a difficult decision for that group. He is 81 concerned as a resident: that there are chemicals that have been used on the land for years and for the 82 Carl Street connection(please keep the neighborhood the way it is). 83 Carol Featherstone, 631 Andall Street, mentioned that the council wants good communities in the 84 City. The people who moved to the Carl Street area moved there for its rural nature. She feels the 85 council supports the developers more than the residents. She thinks an environmental review is 86 necessary. Listen to the people please. 87 Councilmember Lyden said he knows there is great concern about Carl Street. In his mind,there 88 isn't a right to destroy one neighborhood to develop another. 89 Councilmember Stoesz moved to approve Resolution No. 22-125 as presented. Councilmember 90 Ruhland seconded the motion.
