MEMORANDUM
July 25, 2000
To: Chris Kukulski, City Manager
From: Jim Hansz, Director of Public W
Subject: Pack & Co. / MDT Land Exch
I have tried to review this document with respect to the finished product that would result
from development of the property in accordance with the approved PUD. The proposed land
exchange is a critical component to allow the further development of the property as detailed in
the PUD agreement. In this regard:
1. Section 2.01 (A) of the PUD agreement (attached to the EA as appendix D) specifies
that development will conform to the provisions of the PUD agreement and the
documents and drawings annexed to the agreement. In this connection, Figure 4 of the
EA is not in conformance with the PUD agreement. It is not the approved layout for
development. The approved layout, drawing C 1.2 attached to the PUD agreement,
details a significantly higher density development.
2. Following on 1, above, if the parcel(s) are developed as outlined in the PUD then the
anticipated air and water pollution impacts, and drainage impacts will actually be
greater than implied by the incorrect information presented on Figure 4. The amount
of this difference may be significant.
3. The document incorrectly states that there is no timetable for development. Section
2.01 (F) 1) specifies that all the infrastructure improvements specified in the PUD
agreement shall be compete by July 1, 2006. Further, Section 2.01 (C) specifies that
the concrete batch plant shall be operated during the site development construction
period but in no case for a term greater than five years after which it shall be removed.
