ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES COUNCIL ITEMS PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUATION HB 1041 - MATTERS OF STATE INTEREST Mayor Waschak and Council approved the minutes as read. Mr. Wurl stated that resolutions and ord- inances were prepared that directly relate to Matters of State Interest along with overlay maps that relate to HB 1041. Mr. Wurl stated that Planning Commission has considered all the items and have passed resolutions submitting recommendations to Council. Mayor Waschak opened the continued public hearing on HB 1041 - Matters of State Interest. Mr. Dennis Drumm, City Planning Consultant read the comprehensive development plan amend- ments, as prepared for the Planning Com- mission, on Geologic Hazard Areas. (See attached Resolution #2 & Geologic Hazard Amendment.) Mr. Drumm then referred to the overlay map stating that the Planning Commission did pass a resolution identifying the specified areas on the map as matters of state interest. Mr. Drumm stated that the staff modified the state map to exclude the Sproul property be- cause Robingson & Assoc. completed detailed studies on that development which concluded that the sources and point sources and the natural area sources are the only areas of concern. MR. Drumm stated that the state requirements for determining subsidence may be so strict that no developer can afford to do them. He stated that the staff thought that general accepted standards as proposed by consultanting firms would be adequate. Mr. Wurl stated that the concern should be if the states requirements are so strict there is a possibility that the area proposed for development could be affected and may never be developed due to the high cost of tests and FHA and VA probably will not accept any proposed development in the area proposed if it does not meet the state standards. If his happens the City may approve a plan update that will have very little room for development.
