MEMORANDUM DATE: May 18, 1998 TO: Tom Hanka, Wirth Companies VIA FACSIMILE: 788-8855 FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant ITEM: Public Hearing for Subdivision of Property. In response to the memo from your office received this morning, I will reschedule the public hearing for the subdivision of the Wirth Companies' properties for June 16`' at 7;00 p.m. I fully understand of the need not to disclose any information about impending sales, but because the subdivision of this property or any property, is a public process, any sales transactions should have been concluded before the application for the subdivision of property was filed with the City. I cannot reschedule the May 19' public hearing because the agenda packets were sent to the Planning Commissioners last Friday afternoon and they do not have the information necessary.to hold the public hearing on this matter. When I pulled your matter from the agenda, I also removed your application and plat map from the agenda packet. State statutes allow us to request information pertinent to the consideration of any land use application. In this situation, it appeared that the City was going to proceed with the consideration of a subdivision of property application on property that, by the date of the public hearing, would not belong to the applicant. The City Attorney,advised me that holding the public hearing on this application would not be a legitimate process and would not give the Public the opportunity to respond to the appropriate owner of record. If the sale transaction occurs before the June Planning Commission meeting, I will need a copy of the closing documents, including the title insurance for the City Attorney's review. He will need time to review these documents before the Planning Commission meeting. Also, if you are proposing to represent the buyer in this subdivision process, I will need a letter from the buyer indicating that this is so. If you have additional questions or require more information, please call me at 612- 789-8881.
