the Council did support the additional density transitioning. She stated that the Council also <br /> discussed the pathway between the cul-de-sac and Highway 10 but believed that there is adequate <br /> space for that to provide additional emergency only access. She stated that the Council supports <br /> this project moving forward and felt comfortable with the comments recommended in the staff <br /> review letter. <br /> Chairperson Valentine commented that this is a complex and challenging site that will bring in <br /> additional regulatory programs. <br /> City Planner Anderson agreed that there are multiple complex sets of rules for this development <br /> request that must be considered. <br /> Board Member Hiatt asked if there was discussion on reexamining the shoreland rules to bring <br /> those into compliance with the State or DNR. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that at the time the Council reviewed the request that information <br /> was not yet available. She noted that staff is reviewing the information. She stated that the <br /> applicant has been working to apply for grant funds to remove the debris and clean-up the site. <br /> She stated that in the end, this development would be a benefit to the neighborhood once all the <br /> work onsite is completed. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated typically a sketch plan review provides general information, but this <br /> applicant had provided additional information in attempt to get ahead of some of the issues on the <br /> site. He stated that the tree preservation and landscaping plans were not included and the shoreland <br /> regulations were also not taken into account during the sketch plan review and just came to light <br /> within the past few days while preparing the case for tonight's meeting. He stated that a review <br /> letter was included in the Board packet that addressed the concerns identified by staff. <br /> Motion by Board Member Hiatt and seconded by Board Member Bernard to recommend approval <br /> contingent upon compliance with the staff review letter. <br /> Motion carried.

The EPB has a City Council approved Work <br /> Plan for 2017-2019. As the City Council is beginning to wrap up their strategic planning for 2019, <br /> staff thought it would be a good time to briefly review the current plan and begin brainstorming <br /> topics for future consideration. The intention is not to develop a new work plan this evening, but <br /> rather to initiate some discussion on possible topics of interest or importance to the EPB. <br /> Chairperson Valentine welcomed some brainstorming ideas to consider further. He stated that he <br /> is satisfied with the level of effort that the Board has received from City Planner Anderson. He <br /> acknowledged the high amount of work that is placed on staff for some of the Board projects and <br /> actions. <br /> Environmental Policy Board/April 15, 2019 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
