~~13-2 subsequent exchange of written correspondence between the property owner and the City, which is provided in Attachment 1. The property owner believes that his property, which fronts on the paved, but significantly substandard, portion of Laurel Way, should not be subject to the EIR requirement. Staff believes that 3730 Laurel Way is located on the EIR side of the line as indicated in the map below. Staff determined that this matter should be brought back to Council for confirmation of the location of the EIR - No EIR Line as shown on the map. 3730 Laurel Way is a steeply sloped property (approximate average slope is 36% with portions greater than 45% slope in the proposed building pad area); covered with native vegetation; and subject to other potential development challenges that should be fully assessed in context with the build-out of Laurel Way as required by Council policy: Parcels west of the line require an EIR " "EIR - No EIR Line" ø , ~ 3eö2 3641 Parcels east of the line do not require an EIR ~ i2 ~ ~ (0) iö ~ 0 I') ~ M ~$ Ii aved : ~ Ki ~ .

The first page of the staff report states that "development may occur on these two parcels without preparation of an EIR and related studies, and not on any vacant parcels along Laurel Way beyond the improved lot at 3726 Laurel Way." The staff report repeats this determination several more times, for example, this statement is included on page 2: "All other vacant parcels along Laurel Way that are located westerly of 3726 Laurel Way would have to comply with the requirement that an EIR and technical studies (geographical, engineering, etc.) covering the entire undeveloped area be prepared prior to any development..." It is important to note that this description positions the line at the transition between the City standard and substandard paved portions as shown on the above map. . Resolution 14111: The resolution does not specify the location of the EIR - No EIR Line based on addresses or parcels numbers for any of the properties. Rather, it refers generally to pavement condition. In language for establishing the line, the resolution
