Hi Dan,

Thanks for getting in touch and congrats on passing through the first gauntlet.

A zoning checklist would be the best way to ensure that we have the correct process. You can submit a consolidated app for subdivision and SDR. The ($150) checklist fee will be rolled into the application fees and/or a second pre-app that is more site and process oriented. Regarding the items below – there are a number of response points but those will be fleshed out in the checklist process. The latest and greatest site plan we had been working from would be an appropriate submission for that application.

Generally, coming out of Wednesday’s meeting, our read is that it would be very beneficial to engage the community in the design process as there seems to be significant local interest and some confusion over the project. While our neighborhood meeting process in 17-4.1.070 Neighborhood Contact is “recommended” and not required, based on that initial feedback Staff reiterates a strong recommendation for neighborhood engagement. At this time, a virtual setting may be most appropriate, if possible. One thought - It seems that the existing row of trees separating the properties would be wise to incorporate into the design.

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Dan Zinder

Mr. Corthell, Mr. Zinder, and Mr. Fisher:

Thanks to all of you for the near heroic efforts to get the administrative annexation process processed by City Council Wednesday evening. Even though development specific details weren’t officially on the table at this stage we were present and we listened.

Since the ordinance was adopted I am assuming we are clear to move forward with a Preliminary Subdivision application, do you need another Zoning Checklist for this Type III application?

I am trying to dial down through the LU Application Checklist and confirm everything we’ll need to be deemed complete:

Is there anything I’ve overlooked?

At the pre-app in June it was stated that a Neighborhood Meeting wasn’t required but recommended. Given the level of concerned testimony I agree that we should try to have a NH Meeting sometime after being deemed complete but before a Staff Report is finalized. Is that proper timing?

Thanks again for your assistance.
