• • • COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2002 City Planner Smyser stated that in regard to the staged growth areas, they are about when we would allow utilities to be extended into that area. This project is not contingent upon utilities, it does not need City sewer and water. Councilmember Carlson stated that was a little bit different understanding than she would have of this because she was reading it as two separate statements. This was a surprise. Zoning had already been covered. She referenced page 35, number 29, regarding the need to identify any past, present or reasonably foreseable future projects that may interact with the project described in this EAW. Such as the way accumulative impacts are caused. Now it references that there is no signficant proposed development identified near the area that will compound the impacts. But referring back to page 36 and her concerns about other development. Many times throughout this document it was being stated that this is the development that is proposed. She questioned whether or not she could vote on this, believing this is the development, that we are not going to be lookip at something else a couple of years down the line that is going to move the development to the 1 d closer to the Indian mound, more into our shoreland ordinance and so forth. City Planner Smyser stated if they do that, then this EAW would become moot and they would have to do another one so, we can only plan what we know about.As an analogy, he stated that a person does not necessarily know if in ten years they would want to.. add on to their garage. At this time they have no plans to do anything other than what is in there. CouncilMember Carlson did not necessarily feel the garage analogy was pertinent, but that essentail y the answer is no, but they would have to go through the EAW process again. City Planner Smyser stated this was correct, Councilmember Carlson stated this summarized her concerns. Councilmember O'Donnell inquired about the process and where the City needs to go from here. He stated his understanding of the agenda item tonight was merely to distribute the EAW. There have been a number of proposed modif cations rtlade to the EAW, and now his question was which one is the City distributing? Are they distributing the one that was handed out at the work session, the one the Council had in front of them, or are we distributing the one with the additions Councilmember Carlson suggested? And a related` question would be how to go about putting these and agreeing to the changes that have been proposed' He questioned whether or not the Council would need motions on each of those points or whether the Council would vote only on whether to distribute it or not and let staff work with Councilmember Carlson and other appropriate parties on modifying this? He felt the procedure as to this was unclear. City Administrator Waite Smith suggested that Councilmember Carlson's comments could be brought up at the time when the City receives the other public comments. Mayor Bergeson stated the consultant might wish to address this. Ms. Hopkins stated she had only noted two specific changes that were requested. 19
