VIii-B-2 <br /> <br />Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Mayor Werner and City Council <br /> <br />John Hinzman, Planning Director <br /> <br />January 20, 2004 <br /> <br />Resolution - Freitag Property Development Planning <br /> <br />REQUEST <br /> <br />The City Council is asked to take the following actions: <br /> <br />1) Adopt the attached resolution reaffirming support of preservation of the Raymond <br /> Freitag property in East Hastings. . <br /> <br />2) Forward the resolution to the owners and developers in lieu of City participation in <br /> planning for the development. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The City has been approached by individuals proposing development on 300 acres <br />owned by Raymond Freitag, east of the Vermilli.on Slough. The property is designated <br />as Open Space in the Greenway Plan and is not, within the 2020 Urban Service <br />Boundary. Staff has on at least tw° occaissions stated that the property is not within <br />our current plans for development, nor do we anticipate a desire to amend our plans to <br />accommodate development. <br /> <br />Despite our tepid response, development planning continues to move forward. Staff <br />was recently invited to a full day planning and design meeting along with other <br />governmental, regulatory, and stakeholder groups (see attachment). It does not appear <br />to be in the City's interest to be involved in the project if preservation is still planned and <br />development is not desired. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />· Resolution <br />· Memo to City Council by Marty McNamara - May 29, 2003 <br />· Development Invitation. <br /> <br /> <br />
