PUBUC COMMENTS Jenna Carlson and Philip Carlson, of Interspace Inc., P.O Box 184, Wayzata, were present to express their surprise and frustration to learn this afternoon that their item was not to be reviewed among the items on the agenda this evening. It was their opinion that they were given preliminary approval on April 26,2005, only to be in limbo regarding when they may begin construction, due to a proposed intersection change that they’ve learned they may be financially responsible to contribute to. Gaffron stated that, over the past two weeks, the applicants have delayed the process with incomplete documents. He acknowledged that the project appears to in limbo on both sides, as the City is in the decision nuddng phase regarding the intersection based on recommendations from the consultants and the ap|dicants are in limbo in other areas. Philip Carlson stated that he expected the application to be heard Jiis evening and that things were moving forward based on his most recent conversations with staff. Moorse stated that he had discussed with Philip Carlson on Friday that the application would not be on the agenda because several things were still up in the air, including information from a turnback meeting on Highway 12, which he had attended this morning and was scheduled to discuss with the Carlsons on Tuesday afternoon. Jenna Carlson insisted that the City provide them with an action plan that they could share with their potential lessees and point to as they proceed. She questioned whether the City intended that the applicants put in the fronuge road, and sUted that these additional costs would be a heavy btudm for them. PAGE 2 of 7 i
