Chairperson Walker moved that Mr. Sorenson draft a letter to the Commission on the need for the DRB. In response to Mr. Sorenson's request for ideas, Mr. Glenn suggested listing the positives moves the Board has made and what would have happened if the Board hadn't reviewed certain projects. Other ideas were the improvements to the corridors brought about by DRB review, a professional Board that gives advice that would have to be paid for if done by consultants, the education of the public, and larger projects are so big that consultants may not have a handle on the design issues. Planner Skelton noted the DRB also is a protection for the established neighborhoods. Mr. Sorenson noted that the Board is a help to architects who have been bullied by a developer into presenting a bad design. Chairperson Walker noted there are better open space and trails through projects than what were proposed. Discussion followed on the loopholes in the code and the City's PUD guidelines. ITEM 5.
