Diane and Meredith, Yes, there are public comments on the project made at the June 24 meeting, I’ve attached what I was given via a public info request (I combined 4 pdf’s into 1). I agree that these should be in the records section too. FYI, 1 of the pdf documents in that section now will not open. Diane, I certainly appreciate the process that you are now leading at the City related to designating this area as an Area of Critical Concern. I appreciate that the designation was made and that it’s the first time the City and Planning Office has done this. It’s a learning curve for all of us. My comments are intended to be supportive and made to support the process. In that context, I would like to make 2 suggestions (these will also be included in my public comments): 1. that the timeline at the bottom of the final page of the proposed Scope be removed from the Scope. It’s a timeline and may be appropriate for another entirely separate document for use, but it’s not appropriate to be in the Scope itself. 2. that the City plan on at least 30 days for review of the EA, then have a public hearing at an appropriate time thereafter. Typically, an EA has at least this time for review, and I have seen EIS and EA documents that have had much more time to review. Given that Pine Creek Ranch would be the largest development in the City’s history, and that this is the first area the City has designated an “Area of Critical Concern”, at least 30 days to review the EA is reasonable and appropriate. My neighbors and I will need time to review the many consultants’ reports that should accompany the EA, and our professional advisors will need time also. The Pine Creek Ranch proposal affects all McCall taxpayers and everyone needs time to become aware of the development proposal, digest all the information and provide useful and productive public comment. This is a “first” for all of us, and it will set precedent for the future, so I strongly feel it’s important to carefully and slowly go through this process together, publicizing it all as much as possible along the way. The end result will be smart and better decision making, at least that’s my hope.

I am sure the applicant and their consultants have generated engineering and traffic studies, but they have not shared them with the City. d.

Without an application filed the amount of information available to the City is limited to what is provided to us by the Pine Creek/Park Point group. If you have documents pertaining to the matter that you do not see in the web portal, I’m happy to add them to the files if you can provide them to me, which would make them part of the Public Record. I’ve included Diane Kushlan, the point contact on this for the city, in case there is any further insight than the information on the AOCC webpage that she can provide, as well as be made of aware of your concerns. We’ve added the correct date for public comment to the comment button on the webpage. Best, Meredith Todd, MNR | Assistant City Planner 216 E.

Thx and you do realize that the website page is incomplete, there is basically nothing under the category “public records search”? Perhaps this is all occurring in a bit of a haste??? Inaccurate dates, inaccurate publication info, background info, etc. Incomplete delivery of relevant documents?
