question, Dave Uhrich stag Seant.
to start with design work rre °ard a -rebX•
of delay was costly to them. It was pointed out
that staff could not proceed with any kind of
development REVIEW until the Valley Studies
guidelines have been completed and reviewed.
Marshall noted that the studies should be com-
plete by mid-January with the exception of the
transportation study, which should be finished
by the end of January and which could be impor-
tant to this development. He noted that site
design would have to be tentative with the under-
standing that some changes might have to be made
when the reports were complete. Uhrich proposed
that as long as Sears was abiding by the rules
set down by the consultants , that the City could
issue the permits now. ^Mirk noted that the
approval of the rezone was based upon Uplands '
acceptance of the recommendations of the studies
and that Uplands was aware of the time span allowed
for the studies . It was determined that the City
would not PROCESS permits until the plans sub-
mitted by the consultants were adopted by the
Citv. "

KENT VALLEY (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM 5H)
STUDIES Upon the request of R. D . Uhrich of Uplands
PROGRAM Industries, this item was removed from the Con-
sent Calendar to permit discussion. The Consent
Calendar Item provided for passage of Ordinance
2206, imposing an assessment against certain
properties in the city for the purpose of defray-
ing the costs of the Kent Valley Studies program.
A letter was read from Mr . Uhrich, a copy of
which has been filed as a part of the record.
Mr. Uhrich objected to the proposed ordinance
which would impose a charge of not more than $130
per acre. He stated that it had been originally
agreed that the property owners would share the
costs of the studies with the city. Upon Mooney' s
question, Mirk stated that the IPP ordinance
stated that the owner would bear costs directly
relating to the owner ' s proposed development,
and that the city and the owner would jointly
share the costs of the studies relating to the
owner ' s proposed development as it relates to
other areas which may be affected or impacted
by the owner ' s development.
Mirk further noted that the easiest way to com-
pute the amounts was to divide the cost of the
studies by the areas which were the target of
the studies, and that the "not more than $130
per acre" was the city' s suggestion. In answer
to Mooney' s question, Mirk noted that it was the
city' s original intent to share jointly in the
costs and that the city could still elect to do
this. Moonev noted that an EIS would cost approxi-
mately $55, 000 additional . Mirk noted that this
should logically be a part of the cost of the
studies, except for those who had already signed
contracts.
