This is done to insure the safety of the aquifer. The project involves two areas at Redmond Elementary School: the parking lot and a loading area at the rear of the site. Since the work cannot be completed prior to school starting in a few weeks, staff is asking for an approval of the project but to hold off on issuing the permit until June 2018 which will allow the needed time to complete the work. By delaying the permit issuance, the project will meet the intent of the program and allow the District to qualify for the 75% reimbursement. The Technical Committee approved the staff recommendation.

All divisions have multiple correction items which prompted the question from the Committee on whether or not the site was buildable. Mr. Fischer noted that the site was approved for a subdivision a few years ago; however, a new owner wishes to go forward with cottages. So the site is buildable. What the Committee is seeing is the first round under the formal process where there are many issues that need to be corrected. The Technical Committee approved the issuance of the Additional Information Letter. Karen also asked that she be briefed on the project by the planner before the Additional Information is sent out to the applicant.

It appears that the work was completed as part of a 1979 short plat by another property owner. Staff has been working with the property owner and a permit was issued last October 2016 to complete the work. Staff has given the property owner until August 28 or the City will begin the Notice of Order process with Code Enforcement. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 ADD-ON Topic: Emergency Exception Staff: Lisa Rigg Action Item: Yes or No Slides Follow-up Items: Project Comments: Lisa noted that a homeowner within the Sunrise Vue subdivision in Rose Hill has requested an emergency exemption to the Critical Areas code as their home is sliding.

Lisa noted that this work will require a building permit as well as a Clear and Grade permit. The Technical Committee approved the emergency work
