Lyle, East Wenatchee, representing the Douglas County Citizens for Responsible Growth, said statistics given by Bob Larse at the March 18 Council Meeting were not correct and asked the Council to take exception to the following for the record: (A letter from Mayor Collings to Douglas County Commissioners) Our record of the March 13 hearing shows 10 speakers representing 80 persons who spoke in favor of the draft plan, and 22 persons representing 430 people who were in opposition to the draft plan as amended. Mr. Millett submitted a copy of a petition. 1 CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL I, 1996 (A letter from Mayor Collings to Douglas County Commissioners) The City has never proposed 200 acres of commercial on Grant Road, nor has there ever been a proposal for a mall on Grant Road; Mr. Millen submitted an application for comprehensive plan amendment, WL Partners, LTD., Sun Valley, ID, fifty-eight acres of agricultural, This is a phase development which we expect to include up to 500,000 square feet of retail commercial building space and associated parking. We expect the development to be surrounded by a landscaped and bermed buffer strip to insulate the site from agricultural areas ant to act as a spray easement area. (A letter from Jeffers, Danielson Sonn & Aylward, P.S. to Jerry Litt Douglas County Planning Department) regarding WL Partners application for rezone, WL Partners asks that you put their Application for Rezone and Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, Urban Growth Boundary and Resource Areas on hold pending the completion of the County's drafting of a new Comprehensive Plan and Urban Growth Boundary pursuant to the Growth Management Act. It is the opinion of WL Partners that continuing to proceed with an application which contains many parallel issues to the current GMA process will simply add confusion and cost to the process. WL Partners' immediate plans and goals for retail tenants at their site at Grant Road and Nile remain the same. PRESENTATIONS LINK - Eric Phillips - Transfer site study update Eric Phillips, LINK Transportation Coordinator, updated Council on the East Wenatchee Area Transfer Site Study.

Ms. Herres showed a video to Council of several business people in the Greater East Wenatchee area who wanted to express their opinions of growth in the current business core and support of the mall expansion. Councilmember Mikow said there had been rumors that the East Wenatchee Chamber of Commerce represented the Wenatchee Valley Mall.
