The only change that I might be inclined to make would be to flip-flop University Place and Aura.
In theory Aura will most likely have more public input and is directly adjacent to other housing. The first two or three items appear to be quite straight forward, one of which we have already recommended prior to this requested Adjustment/addition.
Given the agenda in front of us, we should strive for efficiency at our upcoming meeting.

Dear MIchael,
We know this is a very busy time of year, particularly for the Planning Commission. Nonetheless it’s essential for the Planning Commission to give each project the attention and careful review it deserves.
We see a serious timing problem for the Aura proposal on your April 6th Planning Commission agenda for Tuesday. We just learned that Aura is last on a full agenda! Aura follows 2200 Homestead Road and University Place, among other important projects. Both Planning Commission members and the public need adequate time for review and comment. A project of this consequence should not to be squeezed in at the end of a long meeting.
Given the great public interest in the Aura proposal, and the lnumber of concerned residents who may wish to speak, we request that Aura be moved to first or second place on the agenda.
Recently the Environmental Stewardship Board had a packed agenda and the meeting went very late with still more projects. The Board agreed to establish a special meeting to review the University Place project in order to ensure a careful review. This is accepted practice as long as due notice is given.
FYI attaching a link to the letter we are sending TCAB about our traffic concerns with Aura.
Thank you for considering this request! Kindly forward this letter to your board.
