compliance with and substantially conforms to the terms and conditions of
approval of the preliminary Woahink Ridge Estates PUD plan and plat, as set
out in the 9/14/09 settlement agreement between the City and developers, as
well as the applicable Dunes City Code provisions set out in the Planning
Department’s staff report and findings of fact, dated 6/08/10.
Chairman
Bellemore
said this agenda item is not a quasi-judicial procedure or a land use or
limited land use decision, as defined under statute, but rather more of a
non-discretionary decision.
Chairman

asked if any of the Commissioners have any questions about the scope of this
agenda item.

said that under the table of contents, the transmittal letter written by
Ronald

on

asked if the Commissioners have
any questions regarding the final PUD application and none of the

asked the City Planner,
Lisa
Ekelund
, to read the purpose, description, and recommendation from the staff report / findings of fact and also to read the final engineering report.

asked if any of the Commissioners have any additional questions.
Commissioner

said he is not sure if there is a requirement for a final plat and plan
approval to be open to public comment.
Commissioner
Riechel
said the public comment makes this quite close to being a public hearing
instead of a public meeting.
Chairman
Bellemore
said the agenda was revised because the City Attorney advised the
City Recorder
that the Commission should have a public comment period.
City Recorder
,
Fred
Hilden
said that is why the specific language was prepared at the opening of the
agenda item.

Hilden
said this is just an opportunity for people to comment.

said it makes the whole process transparent.

asked if anyone would like to entertain a motion.

Development application for Woahink Ridge Estates and direct the

Council for review and final approval.
Commissioner
Miller
seconded the motion.

the vacation of the road.

zone change.
