“I'm going to call this September 17th. Sub-Administrative Planning Commission meeting to order. 6.30 on the dot. First we'll do roll call. Here. Here. I'm Mike Bresco. I'm obviously here. And the agenda today, we've got two topics related to docket. I guess it's all sort of docket related. One is about docket requests that either have been or will be put forth. And then also the docket about Building 120. And we're asked to be discussing whether we have any questions about the docket process or information that would be needed to better inform decisions that will be made at the public hearing…”

“I've got a couple of quick comments. First off, on the docket review process, we went through a lot of it. And it's nice to see it working. And I think bringing up this TDR, the docket request from 2019 is really helpful for some of the reasons that you've mentioned. So that's awesome. So it's working. Um, hey, for the information, so you provided, like, a pretty nice list of things. We've talked to King County. You know, this was a requirement. The council did this. Um, so I think it would be helpful on the slides to include those things. And as, you know, some of the comments here, we've…”

“However, it's the same question. What information would be needed so that we can have a better informed commission in public when we do the public hearing in a couple weeks? So, yeah, thank you for that. So what additional, I guess, guidance would you have for staff in terms of what would strengthen the presentation so we'd be better able to make a wise decision about whether to move the application forward or not?”

“Actually, a quick follow-up, but not changing, would that limit it as a bonus parcel? No.”

“Let me just, just a quick, because that, so for the potential to lease the building, maybe make some minor modifications, but keep the building as opposed to potential additional residential. Does making this amendment to the future land use map make it easier to do these options with the Y or somebody else coming in, leasing the building? Does this help make that happen, in other words? And you don't necessarily have to answer that, but that would be helpful to have in the presentation for next time around. So in other words, what happens if we don't make the change? Is that limit the future…”

“Anybody else? I think as long as you're really clear about what happens if we don't make the change, because as far as I could tell, there's not a downside to making the change.”

“Yeah, it gives a lot of flexibility by making the change. It doesn't lock us into putting single family homes across all of those acres. Yeah. And, and then with the zoning chain, all of those other things, we'll be able to make some wise decisions. Council obviously weighing on that. But this is a first step that enables a lot of so if you make that clear in the presentation, which is fairly clear already, but it's it could be more like, hey,”

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. So agenda really... It was being too easy. So thank you, Jackie. Yeah. You have a gender-related public comment, Paul?
