Amstrup (excused)
Councilman Amstrup \^ras delayed. He attended the SMCTDP Citizens Advisory
Committee meeting, prior to appearing at thj-s meeting at approximately 8:40 p.m.
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
Mayor Mangini announced that the Council wilt continue its discussion on
legislation prepared by the City Attorney having to do with Environmental
Impact Report procedures.
The City Attorney, invited by the Chair to initiate the discussion, reported
there was not time to make all of the changes that Councilman Martin commented
on at the April 2 meeting, but those that were made will be reviewed, as the
meeting progresses.
Upon determination that the Council had received copies of the guidelines sent
down by the State, the City Attorney reported that the guidelines are as much
statute for the cityrs purposes as is the Environmental Quality Act. He
referred to page 18, section 4.5 "Categorical Exemptionsl and advised that
the language in the first paragraph is his but the language which follows,
starting with Class 1 through Class L2, are the Categorical Exemptions as they
appear in the State guidelines, without any alternatives.
He recalled that there were couunents at the last meeting concerning items
"e" and "k", page 19 and advised that all of page 19 is merely a copy of the
guidelines, which the city has no authority to change; whiJ-e these need, not
be included in the resolution, they would be law and it would be misleading
to anyone if they were deleted; they should remain in the resolution.
He advised that the resolution will not conflict with any of the cityts
ordinances now in effect, or that may be enacted in the future. E.I.R.
processes should be looked upon as an overlay, over and above any zoning or
other procedure that the city may care to take, that is permitted within
the State Planning Law and its own ordinances.
He advised that the following amendments have been completed thus far:
Page 8, "as" substituted for "anr " Page 11, "license" added to last line in
group 1, and, on the same page, "Minor'r inserted before "excavation',, second
line, second group.
concerning "tree removal" (b), page 21; because thj-s item is a part of the
Categorical Exemptions classificati-ons, it cannot be deleted from the
Resol-ution. It may be that a Negative Declaration will be required and if the
Councj-I is concerned that the fee involved here may create problems, this
should be approached in the section concerning fees.
On Pages 24 and 25, the following amendments will be made, if acceptable tothe council: class 7 and class 8 -- responsible city officer to be ,'city
Engineer or city Pranner" in both casesr'crass 11, "Building rnspector,' to
be substituted for "City Planner."

Page 25, paragraph 5.3: Appeal "45" substituted for "30." The paragraph will
remain as is, with the above correction and with the addition of the following
language "except that decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the
City Council in a time and manner provided in Article IX- "
Page 28, paragraph 7.1 Developnent of pr ocedure by City Planner:The paragraph
wilt remain as is and the following sentence added "Such procedures and amendments
shall be effective upon approval of the City Council."
The City Attorney reported that in making the requested changes having to do with
"appeals" ultjmately being possible clear to the City Council, it will be necessary
to substantialty rewrite some of the material. He stated he is aware of the
Councilrs desires and wiII proceed, but there was not time to complete the work
by the time of this present meeting.
