The City Council approved that request. Also discussed <br />at the September 9 meeting was the City’s preliminary budget and levy for 2014.

OTHER ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Curtis asked whether the Planning Commission would be able to go on the boat tour of Lake Minnetonka <br />and Big Island on September 30. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to meet on September 30 for the boat tour at 3:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Daniel Schultz, 4325 Chippewa Lane, stated he is attempting to obtain a variance for a deck and that he <br />was supposed to be on tonight’s agenda. Schultz stated he changed his vacation plans so he could attend <br />tonight’s meeting because he was told he would be on tonight’s agenda. <br /> <br />Schultz indicated he initially was told that he met all the requirements and then received a letter on <br />Wednesday of last week regarding his application. Schultz stated he would like to get his permit and <br />have the matter resolved. <br /> <br />Leskinen noted this item is not on the Planning Commission’s agenda for this evening and that because <br />there is not a formal application before the Planning Commission, they are not able to act on it. Leskinen <br />asked if there was a reason given for the application not moving forward. <br /> <br />Schultz stated he was informed that he needed an updated survey which is different than what he was <br />initially told. Schultz stated he received the letter on Wednesday and was planning to leave town on <br />Thursday. Schultz stated he is not happy with the way things are going and that he is very upset. <br /> <br />Leskinen stated without an application before the Planning Commission, there is nothing they can do <br />tonight. <br /> <br />Item #01 - PC Agenda - 10/21/2013 <br />Approval of PC Minutes 09/16/2013 [Page 33 of 34]
