City Council Meeting December 11, 2000 8. #2596 Brensh ell Homes, 1181 Wildhurst Trail — Citizen Petition for EAW- • Resolution No. 4578— Continued community, granting an opportunity for everyone to work together. Mayor Jabbour stated that the City has used many resources in pursuit of a fruitless effort. He supported staff's recommendation, and felt that staff and Council should spend energy on more relevant issues. Flint stated that he was against the EAW because he did not want to prolong the application process. Sansevere asked Gaffron about staff's decision. Gaffron assured him that the EAW was not even marginally required, and the only reason it was not exempt was because the development is in the shoreland. Peterson moved, and Mayor Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4578 determining that the development proposal by Brenshell Homes has no potential significant environmental effects and denying the citizens' petition for preparation of an environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
