The GC:DA Board thanked the CCAC members for all their hard work and efforts and encouraged them to
continue looking at projects that will enhance walkability and downtown livability.
Discussions commenced on CCAC"s desire to query the community about downtown issues in the next
community survey and the consideration of holding joint executive sessions to ensure all board and CCAC
members are kept up to date on downtown projects.
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly reviewed the GCAC work plan and provided an update on projects
(the work plan was entered into the record).
4. REVIEW THE CCDA BOARD'S 2015 CALENDAR
Redevelopment Project Manager Sean Farrelly reviewed the 2015 calendar and asked if there were any other
topics the board would like to see included.
Discussion commenced on future meeting subjects being:
1. CCAC returning in September to provide an update on their goals and future projects and staff
provided reports on design suggestions for the Tigard Trail's Tiedemann entrance.
2. Suggestions for conceptual ideas of an on buildings along the Tigard Trail,buildings in downtown
and under the Pacific Highway overpass.
3. Concepts attracting visitors to Main Street with things like art,gardens or lighting that may be placed
on downtown building's roofs.
4. Suggestions for possible amendments to the sign ordinance.
5. PRESENTATION ON THE URBAN RENEWAL TAX INCREMENT REVENUE FORECAST
Redevelopment Project Manager Farrelly and ECONorthwest Consultant Nick Popenuk presented the staff
report accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation with highlights:
1. More than a three percent per year growth occurred showing a slow and steady long term growth
trend.
2. There was a four percent growth in real property value.2012-2013 assumptions were at one percent
growth reflecting only one development project.
3. Assumptions for the next fifteen years are at 4.3 percent growth with the development of a 150 unit
mixed use building.
4. Suggested refinancing an existing loan that has almost$1 million in a balloon payment and
borrowing at least$2 million in order for the city to have at least$200,000 to fund ongoing projects.
Chair Cook thanked Mr.Popenuk and Mr.Farrelly for their time and the presentation as it was timely since
the budget year is about to begin.

Opening Public Hearing-Mayor Cook opened the public hearing announcing this item as a Quasi-Judicial
Public Hearing of the City Council which had been continued from the January 13,2015 Council Meeting.
Attorney Dan Olsen stated this is a continuation of the public hearing for the purpose of hearing oral
responses from the applicant,staff and the city attorney to the council's questions presented at the January 13
public hearing.The council may ask additional follow up questions or may have questions based on any
written submittals received since January 13.At the conclusion of the oral presentations,it is the intent of
council to close the oral portion of the hearing.Should the council do that,it is recommended to allow seven

days for any person to submit written comments on any material relevant to the application by February 10.
Then there will be one week for any person to respond to the evidence in the record submitted leading up to
February 10.The applicant has requested his statutory right to rebuttal and it is understood the applicant
thinks three days would be sufficient.Assuming that is true,that would be February 20.There is time on the
March 3 agenda designated solely for the purpose of deliberation and reaching a decision to adopt findings or
asking staff to prepare findings.At the conclusion of tonight's testimony the council is free to continue the
hearing for further testimony or revise the schedule.
Mayor Cook called for any declarations of ex-parte contact,bias or conflicts of interest since the January 13
hearing.Councilor Goodhouse declared he ran through the neighborhood after the last meeting.There were
no other declarations and no challenges from the community.
Staff report—Associate Planner Gary Pagenstecher submitted additional written testimony received since the
January 13,2015 public hearing into the record and explained from the last hearing council requested 27
questions be addressed.Mr.Pagenstecher stated the applicant addressed most of those questions and
requested the applicant present their responses.
Applicant's Presentation—OTAK Planner Don Hanson,OTAK Planner Jerry Offer,OTAK Engineer
Mike Peebles and Pacific Habitat Services Representative John VanStavem submitted a new site plan into the
record and addressed questions from the January 13,2015 public hearing as provided in their memo
presented in the record.
Pacific Habitat Services Professional Wetland Scientist VanStavem reported with the new site plan OTAK
attempted to reduce the impact on the wetlands as much as possible with only a six percent impact preserving
94 percent.The applicant met with the Army Corps of Engineers,Department of State Lands,Department of
Fish and Wildlife,National Fishery and Wildlife and Department of Environmental Quality to address the
wetland issues.Approvals have been received from the Corps of Engineers and OTAK is working on
obtaining permits from the Department of State Lands which is awaiting payment of the fee before issuing
the permit.The Corps of Engineers has a strong preference for using a wetland mitigation bank and that is
proposed in the application.Mr.VanStavem stated possible wetland mitigation for the area was suggested
and the first thing he did was contact Tualatin Riverkeepers,city of Tigard,and Tualatin Hills Park and
Recreation District to look for possible mitigation.None was found so focus was on the onsite area with the
planting of 15,788 native plants.
OTAK Planner Jerry Offer testified the neighbor's and council's comments and concerns regarding the
parking standards were heard so the plan was changed to remove parking from under Building D and placed
under Building G This changed gained more than 50 spaces which now meets the city's onsite parking
standards;therefore,the request for a parking exemption is no longer needed.The application does still
propose parking on Oak Street.The second concern was the wetland and Mr.VanStavern spoke about those.
Addressing the third question about providing access to transit stops and the school,Mr.Offer stated
attempts were made to obtain an easement with Moreland Limited.They are willing to grant an easement
across what will be the future right of way on Lincoln Street.This will allow DBG Limited the ability to
provide a pathway connection between Oak Street and the end of Lincoln Street for connection to the
school.Council shared concern regarding the lack of sidewalks or pathways along Oak Street.Mr.Offer
stated OTAK will commit to providing a connection between the SW 90th Avenue and Oak Street
intersection to connect to the existing sidewalk at Lincoln Center.The existing public sidewalk leads to the
transit stops on either side of Greenburg Road across from the Lincoln Center.Mr.Offer said discussions
with the Lincoln Center property managers and representatives from TnMet were in progress to work
through an agreement by which the owners of Lincoln Center will provide an easement,DBG Limited will
provide the site grading and concrete pad for a bus shelter and TriMet will provide the shelter.All three
parties are in agreement to this,but a formal agreement has not been signed yet.

City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 3 of 10
OTAK Engineer Mike Peebles addressed the storm drainage downstream effects testifying there was an
existing drainage ditch on Oak Street into the wetlands and OTAK is looking to remove that and replace it
with a public storm drain pipe that will route water through the site and out of the wetland area to convey
water from the upstream basin.For the actual site development,OTAK is meeting the Clean Water Services
(GWS),Tigard's and Corps of Engineers requirements for the detention,water quantity and water quality.To
mitigate an increase in impervious surfaces,a detention is being provided onsite so the existing run off will
remain the same after construction;therefore,the flood plain in the Ash Creek area shows no impact to the
flood plain.The rest of the downstream bottleneck cannot be controlled or should not be modified because
of the unintended consequences so maintaining the existing conditions is a better approach to managing the
flow models in the area.
Council President Snider asked how accurate the model and no rise analysis was.Mr.Peebles replied it is the
standard model using standard engineering practices.FEMA and CWS use a hydraulic flow(IEGRAS)
model for the area to set up existing conditions which is the accepted engineering practices.Council President
Snider asked how often per year those models were wrong.Mr.Peebles replied he did not know,but there is
some calibration within FEMA and the HEGRAS model for the jurisdictions that use them.
Council President Snider stated he was not hearing a level of precision that goes along with this model.Mr.
Peebles said he could not say the model is 100 percent accurate as there are too many variables based on the
requirements in the code for having to model and check the flood plain in order to meet the no rise analysis,
so we followed those.
Mayor Cook stated the water rises either upstream or downstream because the water has to go somewhere.
Mr.Peebles explained it is not a bathtub model where the tub is filled with water and when something is put
in it the water overflows.Instead look at the flow of water because during a flood the water is still flowing
downstream conveying through a floodwayor flood channel.What would make the flood plain rise would be
encroachment or obstruction;especially in the high velocity areas.This is why upstream and downstream are
checked to ensure a 0.00 effect is seen.Council President Snider summarized stating the velocity of the water
and speed of movement is more important than the dropping something in the bathtub effect.Mr.Peebles
answered yes,it is the velocity times the area so if changes are made then the same flow can go by.
Councilor Woodard expressed several concerns about impacts on the flood plain,the homeowners financial
respons ibility for damages due to flooding,the high density build in the Washington Square Regional Center
(WSRG),the up zone impacts to the neighborhoods and open spaces,the use of flood plain instead of
sensitive wetland,the 35%peak flow increase to date and how that will impact the area for the 25-year storm
Mr.Peebles explained when dealing with storm water different design stomas are considered which are two-
year,ten-year,25-year and 100-year stomps.This means there is a four percent chance there is going to be a
storm event in each of those years.As those different storm events happen the rainfall may vary so those are
modeled to see what the system impacts are.Those storms have to do with the amount of rainfall that is
landing in the area at that moment.Mr.Peebles said the 1996 storm was considered the 100-year storm and a
lot of things were modeled from that.These flood plain maps provided in the application show the 100-year
flood plain event.Tigard designed their conveyance system for a 25-year storm and conveys all the water
down.The rare 100-year storm is managed by these flood ways and plains.
Councilor Woodard stated he was concerned how the system is going to keep up with this development and
future developments.He suggested all the developers interested in the area get together to come up with a
solution to alleviate the flooding problems as building smartly in the area is really dependent on partnerships.
Mr.Peebles said additional flooding impacts are being mitigated with the construction of a large detention
facility detaining water under the parking lot and providing water quality treatment.In addition there is a
series of underground chambers under the detention area getting installed based on mitigating the impervious
areas.It is a large detention system meeting CWS standards of putting in gravel and arch culverts which
detain the water coming off the site and releasing it through a controlled manhole.The water will back up

under the parking area and release into the preexisting condition.The controlled manhole has an orphic at the
bottom allowing water to back up behind in the detention system to match the two year and ten-year storm
events.That will all be permitted and approved through the city of Tigard's permit review process.
Council President Snider asked what the reason was to encroach on wetlands versus building up.Mr.Offer
replied in addressing that and question number two posed on January 13,the neighbors are mostly one and
two story buildings with some recent three storytownhomes,so they thought there maybe political problems
if the proposal was for too tall of buildings.The team went to the site,looked at the quality of the wetlands
and Mr.VanStavern recommended this was potentially approvable by the Corps of Engineers,Division of
State Lands and other state agencies if the proper process and permitting requirements were followed.OTAK
looked at the cost of building taller buildings and the balance of the various interests;it was felt the best thing
was to come in with the four story buildings and to go through the wetland filling process.To avoid filling
the wetlands,multi-levels of parking and bringing the buildings up to seven or eight stories would have been
required.Councilor Goodhouse asked what the model and footprint would look like if the wetlands were not
encroached upon.Mr.Peebles said several alternatives were shown in appendix D Item V,but were pulled
after review from the Corps of Engineers and Division of State Lands.
Councilor Goodhouse asked for clarification on how the parking footprint got bigger without any changes to
the wetlands.Mr.Hanson said more parking was placed under a larger building which did not increase any of
the site area impact.Mr.Offer said in order to maintain the same amount of impervious surface and not lose
landscaping,the parking lot was refigured,the trash and recycling enclosure were moved and a few other
changes were made to the parking area.This also allowed no changes to the building elevations other than the
southern elevations of Building C and D as represented in the new site plan.
Mr.Offer drew attention to OTAK's memo where they addressed council's questions presented on January
13.He stated question three relating to parking numbers has been satisfied with the new parking plan.
Tigard's code requires 306 on-site parking spaces and they are providing that as well as the 14 spaces within
the Oak Street right of way.
Councilor Goodhouse asked for clarification on TVF&R's concern with no parking on Oak Street.Mr.Offer
said a plan was included in the original submittal showing the emergency vehicle routes through the site
which provided proper radius and access through the site.He indicated he was not sure what concerns there
were beyond that.Mr.Peebles clarified the parking and street widths will be reviewed by TVF&R as part of
the final permit process.
Mr.Offer said council requested a walking trail between the site and transit stops which is in the works with
the Lincoln Center and TnMet.It needs to be clear while the trail looks like a probability there are two
outside entities not party to this application.He asked the trail not be a condition of approval as there is no
guarantee to an agreement with them.Mr.Offer said OTAK is happy to do the pathways within the public
right of way,but cannot guarantee a private landowner will grant an easement over their property to allow a
pathway.We fully expect to have a condition of approval for an on street pathway connecting Oak Street to
the public sidewalk on Lincoln Center property.Mr.McCarthy stated in relation to requiring the applicant to
work with the property owner in order to put in a transit stop,it would be possible to add a clause to the
condition that they make that improvement or similar improvements as approved by the city engineer
providing contingency in case one of those entities refuses to cooperate.
Councilor Woodard said he noted the lack of sidewalk gaps to the west but there is no connection in a
section heading east to Hall Boulevard and there is an existing bus stop on both ends.This is a huge
populous that needs the infrastructure and facilities in place to accommodate that type of use.If you are
going to develop an area with sensitivities it is beneficial to partner up with developers in the area to bring
resources together.Councilor Woodard recommended partnerships to find connectivity solutions.Mr.Offer
replied we are not proposing pathway connections to the east because after looking at transit schedules we
discovered there is one bus serving the transit stop at Locust Street and Hall Boulevard running Monday

through Friday from 6:00 am.to 7:00 p.m.The transit stops on Greenburg Road serve two bus lines that
provide seven days a week service from before 6:00 am.until Midnight.We found it was more important to
provide service to the west with seven days a week service.
Mr.Offer addressed question five regarding the traffic impacts around Metzger Elementary School.The
traffic study shows the traffic levels on SW 90th Avenue are consistent with the city's transportation plan and
should operate at an acceptable level of service.He noted Traffic Engineer Austin said the traffic levels only
warrant restriping and signing so traffic improvements to the SW 90th Avenue and Oak Street intersection are
not necessary.
Councilor Woodard expressed concern that there is not much room for a pedestrian to walk down 90th
Avenue.Mr.Hanson asked council for clarification if it is a safety impact versus a volume impact.Councilor
Woodard answered it is both as the development will add to the volume impact giving more opportunity for
things to go awry.Council President Snider asked staff what their perspective was on this issue.Mr.
Pagenstecher said he had a discussion with Ms.Austin and she clarified there is about a proposed 300 percent
increase on traffic on 90th Avenue,but even with that,the capacity on 90th Avenue is substantially greater.
Streets and Transportation Senior Project Engineer Mike McCarthy said with this proposal the traffic volume
on 90th Avenue would be higher,but would have adequate vehicle carrying capacity.As far as handling the
through put of vehicles necessary there would be plenty of access capacity,but it would be toward the higher
end of local street volumes,making it a little busier.Councilor Woodard asked if the street would meet the
standard Mr.McCarthy answered the city does not have a hard and fast standard,but it is in an allowable
range within a local street.
Councilor Woodard asked if it has a sidewalk on one side.Mr.McCarthy said it does have a sidewalk on one
side with parking allowed and some stretches with no sidewalk and no parking.
Councilor Woodard asked what the impact projection was for 87th Avenue.Mr.McCarthy said I do not
foresee a lot of traffic using 87th Avenue.
Mr.Offer said addressing question number ten regarding the prevention of head lights in the living rooms of
homes across the street;the central driveway was not directly into the windows of the structures across the
street.As far as the eastern driveway,the headlights would hit the buildings across the street and thought the
homes across the street are mostlytownhomes which have living space on the second floor.There is not
much landscaping in the front yards of those homes so OTAK offered to work with the property owners to
provide landscaping at the time the development is built.
Mr.Offer addressed question 14 regarding the site analysis requirement stating the code is very general about
the alternative analysis and does not give guidance as to what needs to be done;it is a pretty generic
statement.In preparing the application the development objectives were looked at for trying to develop a
moderate size multiple family development close to the Lincoln Center and Washington Square area.OTAK
looked at alternative sites existing within a two mile radius and considered a site on Hunziker Street in some
detail and smaller sites in the basic WSRC area that did not meet the size requirements.All the sites had some
degree of wetlands or flood plain requiring some son of ESEE analysis.
Council President Snider asked what the staff's perspective was on this.Mr.Pagenstecher answered the
development seemed to address the variety of circumstances and the ESEE analysis criteria are general in
nature and the ESEE analysis did nominally address each of those criteria so staff is satisfied the issues had
been considered.Council President Snider stated there were comments that this was not done in an
acceptable standard which is concerning,but there is still no concern from the applicant or staff.Mr.
Pagenstecher agreed there was no concern.
Mr.Offer addressed question 15 regarding water quality problems with sanitarysewage in the high water area
and treatment of storm water from hard surfaces stating for the sanitary sewage there is a trunk line that

MEETING MINUTES—FEBRUARY 3,2015

parallels Ash Creek that is not going to be connected to.This allows for no additional chance of sanitary
sewerage impacts upon the flood plain from that line due to the development.The sanitary sewage lines from
the development are going out to Oak Street.
Questions to Staff:
Mr.Pagenstecher said all questions brought up at the January 13th Public Hearing,as noted in the document
titled Response to Council Questions,have been addressed except questions four,five and 24 and three was
partially answered.
Assistant Community Development Director McGuire addressed question three stating there have been
presentations about federal and CWS permits and alternative analysis which are usually how local jurisdictions
deal with wetlands regulations.The alternatives analysis takes place onsite to review alternative ways to build
in order to avoid wetlands,minimizes the impact on the wetlands and then mitigates.Significant wetland
inventory is done under the State Planning Goal 5 which has a very specific set of procedures for jurisdictions
to follow in creating wetland inventory.To protect the wetlands that are identified as significant,the state
gives jurisdictions two options.Tigard chose to take the safe harbor option which is the simplest for the local
jurisdiction to comply with but leaves less flexibility on the regulatory end when looking at development on
specific sites.That is a situation where the safe harbor was used and essentially the city's regulations say no
development in significant wetlands.The Comprehensive Plan Amendment option is the only way to impact
wetlands at all.A comprehensive plan amendment process has to be done to remove the significant
designation.That puts it in the ESEE analysis which is something the state developed primarily when
developing a Goal 5 program for a very large area.It is very difficult to work with on a site bysite case.
Mr.Pagenstecher addressed question four reporting there is one comprehensive plan amendment decision
before the council affording council the most discretion in deciding this question which is a gut decision
made by weighing the two goods of keeping wetlands or the benefits of a development.It is a balancing
exercise between the impacts of the wetlands and the aggregate economic values.
Mr.Pagenstecher stated council asked in question five when the WSRC Plan was adopted and are there any
other applicable plans.The WSRC Plan which was adopted by Council on July 25,2001 and is not subject to
periodic review.The WSRC Plan has not been reviewed at and has been dormant since adoption.Other
applicable plans would be the city's Park System and the Trail System Master Plans.
Mr.Pagenstecher said concerns brought up on question 24 are a moot point since the applicant removed the
parking exception.
Council President Snider asked if council has any abilityto require the right of way dedication on Lincoln
Street.Mr.Pagenstecher answered the city's engineer said based on the traffic impact analysis it was not
warranted and council could not require dedication or improvement to Lincoln Street.
Councilor Woodard asked for clarification on the traffic impact on 90th Avenue and whose responsibility it
would be to improve that street.Mr.McCarthy said according to the applicant's traffic study the proposed
trip generation would be 1,430 trips per day which is in accordance with the standards used by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers.Of that,because Oak Street at Greenburg Road is restricted to right in and right
out,more of the outbound traffic would use 90th Avenue to get to Locust Street than the inbound traffic.
Figuring 75 percent of the outbound traffic and 25 percent inbound traffic would use 90th Avenue calculates
to 715 vehicles per day added to 90th Avenue.Our current traffic volume estimates are 600 vehicles per day as
of today.Add those together we go from 600 to 1315 on 90th Avenue.Current city design standards on 90th
Avenue are to accommodate less than 1500 average daily traffic volume,which this development meets that
threshold;although this development is pushing it right to the upper end.A couple hundred more vehicles
beyond this would push the volume into a higher level classification.

Councilor Woodard expressed concern there may be a requirement of that development to pay for it as they
participated in the increased need with this development.Council needs to think about what potential
development may occur,the impact created and the need to mediate those impacts.As land inventory is used
up it really gets important so council should tread lightly and make the best decision possible.Mr.McCarthy
said there was a provision in the WSRC Plan that developments need to do their part to work toward the
infrastructure plan in that code.Dedication of Lincoln Street could be considered as the developer doing their
part,but that is more of a judgment call.
Mayor Cook stated if the plan says everyone should paytheir fair share and if they are using up almost all the
capacity on the street that is already there,then the next small development bringing the street to capacity,by
adding 150 cars,would find it financially overwhelming and not cost effective.Council President Snider
added it would not meet an equity standard and sounds wholly different than the previous response about it
being under capacity therefore we reallycannot require it,but this equity thing seems to disagree with this
statement.Mr.McCarthy said that sort of dedication would help transportation in the entire area and what is
their fair share is a judgment call.
Attorney Dan Olsen said it is important to remember there are code and plan standards that sound as though
they rely heavily on equity among the various property owners.There are constitutional requirements
stipulating a jurisdiction's ability in conditioning a development.Fust,there must be a nexus where the
condition actually addresses a problem created by the development.Second,cost of the condition to
developer must be proportional to that impact.So,if an early development comes in and adds to a future
problem,but not creating an impact at that particular time,it is hard to condition because they are creating a
long term impact.Therefore,the immediate impact does not support a condition.Ultimatelythe later
development creates the street to be out of standard and if fixing the street is onerous the council may be in a
position to approve the development regardless.Mr.Olsen added in order to require improvements now
there would have to be a careful analysis by staff as to the nexus between this development and Lincoln Street
and the cost or feasibility of that dedication in proportion to this development as opposed to another
development.Council President Snider requested the analysis be done.
Public Testimony:
Ms.Jill Warren,9280 SW 80th Avenue,Metzger,97223,submitted and read a letter from her attorney into the
record.
Mr.Steve Nys declined to speak
Mr.Stephen Bintliff, 13520 SW 122nd Avenue,Tigard,97223,testified in order to make the Goal 5
amendment the ESEE is the rationale for approval but it says almost nothing as to why this is a good deal for
the community.He expressed concern about the vague references to some economic benefit and requested
they be spelled out if a decision is based on that.Mr.Bintliff requested the applicant list the alternate sites
considered and make it part of the record if that is going to be deliberated on.He stated there is a need for
sidewalks on both sides on Lincoln Street,curbs on 90th Avenue,sidewalk all the way through from
Greenburg Road to Hall Boulevard and improvements to drainage and should all happen before a big
development like this is allowed.He said one thing he was glad to see brought up was the WSRP has not
been visited in 14 years and should not be considered as so much has changed in the area.
Mr.Jim Long, 1070 SW 72nd Avenue,Tigard,97223,chair of the CP04-M,testified the committee is
unanimously opposing this application and want to see it denied due to some ambiguity in the application.
Ms.Nancy Tracy,7310 SW Pine Street,Portland,97223,submitted her testimony into the record.
Ms.Penny Nash, 10231 SW Jefferson Avenue,Tigard,97223,expressed concern for the 100-year flood plain
being altered,the increasing amount of water going into the area,increased traffic to congestive proportions,

lack of sidewalks on the Metzger streets,the increased burden on the Metzger schools and the damage to the
grounds from the combination of the liquefication and amplification as indicated on the map she submitted
into the record.
Ms.Allison Wyatt,8820 SW Thom Street,Tigard,97223 testified she agreed with all the questions presented
and is concerned with the traffic on the streets,that there are no sidewalks and there is no access to the bus
shelter on Hall Boulevard
Ms.Trudy Knowles, 10430 SW 82nd,Tigard,97281,requested the city consider doing another traffic study in
the area as there is concern for the level of increased traffic on Greenburg Road,Hall Boulevard,87th Avenue
and 90th Avenue.She submitted a flood plain map into the record showing the flood plain area for the
proposed development.
Mr.Ryan OBrien, 1862 NE Estate Drive,Hillsboro,97123,representing Gene Davis,testified about the
desire for Lincoln Street to be dedicated and concern with a possible condemnation to secure the right of
way.He requested the right of way be secured before any planning or development occurs.
Mr.Todd Kinsley,8840 SW Spruce Street,Tigard,97223 testified a five house development is underway near
his home in which the contractors ignored building standards and the building department did not catch
certain things during the building process.The neighbors and developers entered into mediation to resolve
the issues.Mr.Kinsley expressed concern that the city's building division be well enough staffed to handle a
development of this size and ensure compliance.
Closing of Public Hearing-Mayor Cook closed the public hearing.
Mr.Olsen stated the recommendation to council is to keep the record open for anyone who wants to submit
written material on any matter related to the application,including argument or new evidence,to be received
by 5:00 p.m.on February 10th.The record will be held over for one more week for anyone to respond to the
evidence in the record,including the material that came in during the week leading up to February 10,until
February 17 at 5:00 p.rTL Anyperson can read the material submitted in the week up to February 10th and can
respond There will not be new evidence allowed.Finally,the applicant felt three days would be sufficient to
submit rebuttal which would allow the applicant to submit rebuttal until 5:00 p.m.on February 23rd.This
would be an argument and no new evidence is allowed.The question is what date the council wishes to
continue this matter for deliberation and decision.
