Re: Response to your letter dated April 9, 2015 and attached
Dear Jeff,
Allow me to respond to your letter with the following underlined text:
You stated, "The Applicant and Jefferson County have agreed to the engagement for services
that require certainty to this lengthy process and procedures as follows:" I assume vou are
referrinq to the contract with EA Enoineerinq for consultinq services reoardinq the SEIS.
". Repetitive lssues raised that have been previously addressed, will not require additional
explanations by the applicant."We aoreed that issues in the FEIS or the Jt/larina
would not require further analvsis under the SEIS. The Final SEIS responses would include
references to the applicable discussion in the Draft SEIS with clarifyino discussion where
appropriate; these responses would be prepared bv EA.
". Positive lssues are to be acknowledged without further comments." Comments from the Draft
the or were not substantive would n
ea to each commen in
the Draft SEIS comments.
". New lssues raised that have yet to be addressed will require a written description from EA
Engineering to the Applicant's Consultant for a written response." Correct, for issues that were
received throuqh comments SEIS that require further analvsis. For new ues raised
that require input from the Pleasant Harbor technical team (for the areas of transportation,
qroundwater/aquifers, surface water/critical areas, and fiscal as listed in the EA Final EIS
proposal dated Februarv 5.2015), the comments requirino team inputwill initiallv be identified bv
EA with concurrence by Jefferson Countv and Craio Peck. Concurrence has been received and
EA is preparino a memo listino the applicable comments related to the technical areas which will
be provide to Craiq Peck for distribution to the appropriate Pleasant Harbor team member.
"Could you please confirm the date for the Final Public Hearing as either May 6's or June 3'd,
2015?" Because of the nature of the work we are now engaoed in, it is lmpossible to confirm the
date of the "Final Public Hearino," because the results of further analLsis could reouire revisions
to the proiect or SEIS that cannot now be anticipated. See the attached timeline schedule for
this process and understand well that these are tentative tarqet dates only.
"Could you please confirm the date for the Development Agreement and the detail required for
this application and the anticipated date for another public hearing?" See my response above.
l'm not sure what vou mean bv "the detail for this application." Results of further analysis of the
SEIS comments could cause revisions to the Development Aqreement (DA). Also, there could be
chanoes to the DA as a result of the the final public hearing_bv the Board of Countv
Commissions. conclusions of the FSEIS, recommendations by Staff or chanoes proposed by the
Board,
"Could you please provide the date for the resolution for the release of the Development
Agreement, and whether this is by phase or for the full development?" See my response above.
The Development Aoreement will cover all phases of the resort build-out, but there mav be
specific requirements for each phase within the DA.
"Could you further advise if a non- residenVnon- tax -payer of Jefferson County has Standing that
would be considered by Jefferson County should they vocalize for or against a proposed
development within the County." All persons or entities that submit comments have standinq as
far as DCD is concerned. lf the FSEIS ts aopealed to Superior Court, then the Court would
determine standinq.
Let me if you have further questions
