rea so n. again. that 1hc1 arc placed m pnva1c casements, is !hat 1hcrc would be no purpose se rved for a

simplific:uion for the pmpeny owner . She pointed out that it is :1 much si mpler process 10 quit claim the

conducted n Public He:mng on January 8th
, and all adJacent propeny owners, as required by the Title IJ,
La ·1d S~bdiv1s 1011 ordim,n cc were notific:d via ceruf:ed mail and we did receive ccnfintlillion from the "osl

and Zoning Co mmis sio n reviewed the preliminary plat and directed the applicant to prepare the Final Plat
for prc se ntauon to Cit y Co uncil .:md the Planning and Zoning Co mmi ss ion does recommend approval.
That's where we are thi s evening, she sa id. and for just a quick revie w, their request is to divide a si ngle
industrial parcel into two lots , the subdivision requesl is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it meets
all development requiremer.ts. all dcpunmcnt iss ue s ha ve been re so lved and the Planning and Zo ning
Commi ss ion recommends approval, therefore the Community Development Department also recommends
approval of the Fina l Plat of the S1a nford Cen ter Subdivision .

the time we are done with the aqua:1cs center we will nee d all the money th e bonds will generate. We are
very cog niza nt that th3t could. in fact, be the big-ticket item as we go forwa rd. So, he staled. we arc going
