AUTHORITY BUSINESS Development Review: Peregrine Point, 221 Big Horn Drive, Portion of Lots 22 and 12, Block 10, 2nd lUnended Plat: Director Anderson noted the legal requirements of this Pviblic Hearing were pxablished. Chairman Pauley opened the Public Hearing. No one was present to speak. The Public Hearing was closed. The property is located on the southwest corner of Spruce and Big Horn Drives. The planned residential/apartment units are compatible with the R-M Residential Multi-Family zoning of the property. Drainage, landscaping, and infrastructure improvements were approved by the Planning Commission on March 15, 1994. This property was included in the Downtown Redevelopment Program (Plan) because it was owned by the Town at the time the Plan was prepared. The Plan's Urban Design Guidelines are directed towards downtown/commercial development and are not applicable to this location. The addition of a new residential space within walking distance of downtown adds to the viability of downtown. The Board found a similar project for this site in compliance with the Plan at the September 5, 1991 meeting. It was moved and seconded (Putney-Martin) that the proposed Development Plan for Peregrine Point, 221 Big Horn Drive be found in compliance with the Downtown Redevelopment Program (Plan), and it passed unanimously. 1993 Audit Presentation: Steve Jackson, Boudreaux & Jackson Auditors, presented a detailed summary of the audit, concluding that the finances of EPURA are fairly presented with no problems for the year. Mr. Jackson explained that the term "component unit", as stated in the audit, is used only for auditing purposes and has no other connotation. Although EPURA is legally a separate unit, there is a financial operational relationship with the Town that is significant because the Commissioners are appointed by the Town Board and there is a flow of money between the Authority and the Town under the intergovernmental transfer. There are no implied relationships from a legal standpoint. A memo was distributed by Director Anderson to the Commissioners to explain this further. The Board commended Mr. Jackson for his efforts in presenting a timely report. It was moved and seconded (Henderson-Putney) that the 1993 audit be accepted into the record as presented, and it passed unanimously.
