City Council Committee of the Whole

CITY OF DUVALL CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MINUTES February 2, 2016 – 5:30 p.m. Riverview Educational Service Center – 15510 – 1st Ave NE Mayor Pro Tem Brudnicki called the meeting to order at 5:31 p.m. Council present: Becky Nixon, Amy Ockerlander, Dianne Brudnicki, Leroy Collinwood, Gary Gill, Jason Walker (absent: Scott Thomas) Staff present: Matthew Morton, Lara Thomas, Dean Rohla, Steve Leniszewski, Jodi Wycoff a. 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update Lara Thomas, Planning Director, reviewed updates to the Land Use Element of the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update. Ms. Thomas reviewed the goals and policies in the Land Use Element and will make changes after tonight’s discussion based on Council feedback. The Land Use Element includes goals and policies and an analysis of Duvall’s demographics, affordable housing, housing cost and targets, and housing capacity information. Ms. Thomas answered questions from Council and took their feedback on potential changes to this element. b. Riverview School District Annexation Lara Thomas, Planning Director, gave a presentation outlining this potential annexation including an aerial map of the annexation area. This annexation is for a single parcel currently owned by Riverview School District. Ms. Thomas explained that the public hearings for this annexation must be completed in the next 60 days and because this is a single parcel owned by one property owner, staff is considering a basic environmental review to show buildable area versus a conceptual site plan. There will also be an Economic Impact Statement for service needs including police, fire, water, sewer and storm. Ms. Thomas said the public hearing and resolution for this annexation will be on the next Council agenda. c. Good of the Order Lara Thomas, Planning Director, gave the Growth Management Act (GMA) Compliance Update that was on the regular Council agenda under Scheduled Items. Ms. Thomas said that in September 2015, staff realized that the Comprehensive Plan Update would not be completed by the end of the year and due to that, the City would be GMA non-compliant and possibly not eligible for certain grants because of that. Staff recently received notice that there is one grant that the City will not be able to expend any funds from the grant until we are compliant. Ms. Thomas said that the Comprehensive Plan Update is on schedule to pass by the end of April and the City will then be GMA compliant until June when we will be out of compliance once again, because we need to complete the Critical Areas Update. Ms. Thomas said the goal is to complete the Critical Areas Update in six months. Councilmember Becky Nixon asked if there would be discussions and decisions coming forward regarding the Fireworks Policy. Mayor Ibershof said that this item will be added to the Council agenda for discussion.
