I s�al1 b� providing copies af our o�gaing discussion regarding �he true nature of tf�e Twin Lakes Comprehensive Plan to the City Cour�cil, and to the attomeys involved. Thank ynu far i�is frank and ir�formative discussior�. Ai Sands Heilo Dan Roe: Yaur last set of aarr�ments tn me via e rnazl regardin�; the Appelate Co�art decisi�n are of s�zch rnagnitude tl�at I feel it necessary fQr me to share it with yoz�r fe�low eouncilpersons and t�e public, along with my assessmen� o�' wkzat s�c� a �onsiruciion of the T�win Lalces App�llate Co� Ruli�g means. If I understand you correctly, it is your pnsitinn that the appeals cv�rt ruling �erely ruled an the att�rnpt by t�e city to insert the Rottlund master p�an intn the City's Twin Lakes Mas�ez plan. Tha� was �led "ineffeciive". SUT #hat did nat decide whether ar nvt the i�ottlund pla�n was inconsistent wi�a tha Twrr� Lakes Master PIan. The City's attempt ta insert '�e Rottlund P1an into the Comprehez�sive Pia� was an. uz�:ecessary proceduxe---a �z�ista��, of no impartanca o� conseq�xence as to th� �bility o�the Rot�lurtd plan �a prncecd arryway, since fhe �rue natt�rs ofthe Twin �.akes Master Pian allows for a variety of possible irnplementation plans wit�ou� the obligatian ta znsert any such. plan into the Twin Lakes Master and Cnmprehensi�ve Plan. Th� Twi� Lak�s Master P�a�: is today same Pla� si�ee 6/26/01, sd what i� is c�eemed to be taciay, atso applies to a�y preeeding pla.n. Under that legal pasition, the city and t�.e developer shouid have proceeded to implarr�ent t�e Rottlund Master Ptan, withc�ut inserting it into the Cflrnprehensiv� Pla�, on the basis that th� Master Plan allaws a va.riety of plans, an� declaring the Rottl.und pian consisien� wzt.� wl�at eonstitutcs the Twi� La.�es Master P�an. Inserti�g t�e Rottlund P1a� into �he Twirz Lak�s Mas�er Plan and �h� Carr�p Plan is unr►ecessary, and t��refore the Appellaie Court ruling is rneaningless. So, i� as you say, your �osi�ion is t�e I�gally correct nne: _-T`he City has �z�ade a terrzble blunder by un.necessariiy stapping the Rottl�d Twin Laices pro�ect. --Tl�� developers also bli�ndered by stoppi�g �e projec�. --The attorney(s) representing the City in tl�is amatt�r gave serious�y flawed advice t� Council. I'li be v�ry curiaus �o see if yo�.u� fe�lc�w coune�l persons, and the city attorney, and Mr. Reuvers, the attorney representing the C�ty in this matter, concur with your view af the meaning of the Appellate Court Decision, and that the Rattlund plan is stiil a legal�y via6le p�an eonsistent wi�h the Twin Lakes Master Plan, as amendec� 6/26/4 �.
