It was their opinion that they were given preliminary <br />approval on April 26, 2005, only to be in limbo regarding when they may begin construction, due <br />to a proposed intersection change that they've learned they may be financially responsible to <br />contribute to. <br />Gaffron stated that, over the past two weeks, the applicants have delayed the process with <br />incomplete documents. He acknowledged that the project appears to be in limbo on both sides, as <br />the City is in the decision making phase regarding the intersection based on recommendations from <br />the consultants and the applicants are in limbo in other areas. <br />Philip Carlson stated that he expected the application to be heard this evening and that things were <br />moving forward based on his most recent conversations with staff. <br />Moorse stated that he had discussed with Philip Carlson on Friday that the application would not be <br />on the agenda because several things were still up in the air, including information from a turnback <br />meeting on Highway 12, which he had attended this morning and was scheduled to discuss with the <br />Carlsons on Tuesday afternoon. <br />Jenna Carlson insisted that the City provide them with an action plan that they could share with <br />their potential lessees and point to as they proceed. She questioned whether the City intended that <br />the applicants put in the frontage road, and stated that these additional costs would be a heavy <br />burden for them. <br />PAGE 2 of 7 <br />
