AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT Planning and Development Committee Thursday, March 4,201 0 Page 2 PUBLIC STATEMENTS None NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion Regarding the Status of the Habitat Conservation
Plan and the New Permit Process -Tandy /Eggert City Manager Alan Tandy stated the difficulties with creating a new Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) are the lack of resources to fund the
process, and acquiring the development community's cooperation to impose a new fee. Mr. Tandy concluded that George Martin sponsored a Private Sector Breakfast in an attempt to inform
the development community on the importance of having an HCP, and to create an advocacy group to consider finance options. Planning Director Jim Eggert stated the Department of Fish
and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would not support extending the current HCP because of new regulations. Mr. Eggert provided a brief summary of possible Federal Funding
options which would cover a small portion of the cost to prepare the plan. Mr. Eggert advised that staff met with the Private Sector Advocacy Group and shared additional information
on the current plan and suggestions for the new plan. The group is currently exploring financial options through the private sector. No financial commitment has been made at this time.
Dave Dmohowski with Premier Planning Group stated he was asked to be the Finance Chairman of the advocacy group and reported that there is no financing available at the moment. Mr. Dmohowski
is looking into private sources for more funding. B. Discussion and Committee Review of the Requirements for Walls on Side Street Yards with Corner Lots in Residential Subdivisions -Eggert
