What was said

12:05 The sites also sloped away from Southeast 19th street. So there wasn't an ability to serve a majority of the site with gravity sanitary sewer. So a lot of the lots are served by grinder pump systems,

12:28 but the site is served by public water. There's a location to the south, or there are critical areas on site. The area on the south end of the site is proposed to be retained, which includes the larger wetland area that's located on site. There are three other small wetland areas on site, two and a half of them are proposed to be filled. And we are currently working with Department of Ecology to get the necessary permits to complete the fill of those wetlands. So I believe there's a letter from Department of Ecology in the record where they indicate that they don't have any, they generally don't have issues with the proposal

13:26 as it currently is shown. But there's a condition for us to get those permits prior to getting final engineering approval. This plan also shows the grading of the site. There's a wall on the south end, and you can see how there's a lot of grade from the north end to the south end of the site, and how it shows how the site will be graded out in its final configuration. In the end, we believe that all the application was complete and all of those requirements were met. We believe we meet the approval criteria and all the City of Vancouver development standards have been met with this proposal.

14:21 We're good with the findings and conditions that were written in the city staff report.
