He noted the previous agreement remains in place but <br />unsigned, and any revision would replace it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht asked about progress toward compliance. Planning Manager Larson <br />reported that site maintenance has improved following staff follow-up, but construction has not <br />begun due to outstanding requirements, including financial sureties and final approvals. <br /> <br />Councilmember Buscher asked whether delays were related to City processes. Planning Manager <br />Larson clarified that delays were not due to the City and were primarily related to revisions, <br />coordination with agencies, and applicant-side processes. <br /> <br />The applicant explained that delays were due to seasonal construction limitations, financing <br />challenges, and navigating the development process, noting the project is now nearing readiness <br />to proceed and requesting the extension. The applicant’s attorney stated steps have been taken to <br />address prior issues and requested consideration of both the extension and reduced financial surety <br />amounts. <br /> <br />City Council /April 14, 2026 <br />Page 8 of 12 <br /> <br />
