2020-07-23 MP 2019-0004 Completeness Review1 From:Cheri Flores Sent:Thursday, July 23, 2020 8:33 AM To:Jon McMillen; Danny Castro Subject:RE: MP 2019-0004 Completeness Review [2553-MSA1.NRzf] Attachments:The Wave Timeline 7.16.20.docx Hello Jon, We have a timeline of the completeness review of the application, attached. Please note that we had initiated design review and tribal consultation prior to the application being complete as a courtesy and to help keep the project moving. Their current and previous documentation has had inconsistencies and needed augmentation to adequately address potential impacts. We haven’t asked them to do anything that we wouldn’t ask any other development to do. This is a sensitive area and a very large project so the reports and documentation need to be thorough and defensible. Even more so given the amount of potential opposition of the neighbors. If you have any other questions, please let me know. We are working with Teresa right now to schedule a meeting with Mr. Rowe, Garrett Simon, you, me and Danny to discuss the issues Mr. Rowe has brought forth. Cheri L.

We have responded to their October review in this submittal but had to redo the traffic and Green House Gasses because of a “preference” by Nichole to have the numbers run in another format, which took 6 months to complete. Though some of the time was due to the coronavirus. Can you see if all this additional time is really necessary? If there is really issues we should know but more nit picking is not useful for anybody. And is costing this project hundreds of thousands of additional dollars. Getting us to Planning Commission and City Council is really most important at this point will really help us all.
