City Council Regular Meeting - 01/30/06 Minutes - Page 13 received additional e-mail and phone contact from other residents expressing confusion that it was being considered for final approval without additional public hearing. Community Development Director Welsch advised that, when a property owner came into compliance, an additional hearing was not held, and no additional notice, outside the Planning Commission, was given. City Attorney Squires addressed Mr. LeTendre's January 24, 2006 letter; noted that initial notice was provided, after which followed an alteration of an interior lot line by the property owner, and would not require the City to provide additional notification. Further discussion included the original notice; specific City Code references and Minor Subdivision language; policy discussion regarding the 350' notice requirement and potential for expansion of the notice area; and timing requirements. Ihlan again moved to table action on this request in order to provide notice of the Subdivision Code. Mayor Klausing ruled the motion out of order as it had already been voted down. Following further discussion and the suggestion of City Attorney Squires in recent consultation with the applicant and the applicant's attorney, it was Council consensus to continue action on this item until the February 27, 2006 meeting. Applicant's attorney advised that, while disappointed in the continuing delays, the applicant was willing to follow the process outlined by City Attorney Squires. Mayor Klausing, Councilmembers and staff continued discussion on the uniqueness of the request; the administrative function of the revised request; the applicant's code compliance; and the potential ambiguity of the situation. City Manager Beets questioned whether such action would discourage applicants from modifying their requests to comply with City Code, if notification was again required.
