FACTS <br /> <br /> In October 2.001, Tollefson entered into an a~eement with Gerald and Mary <br />Becker to purchase 103 acres of farmland located in the city. The land was zoned single- <br />family residential, but Tollefson intended to build a mixed development on the land <br />consisting of 283 single-family and townhouse units.

Tollefson agreed and sent a letter to the city, dated May <br />15, stating: "This letter is to confirm our request to amend our application for rezoning <br />on the property referred to as Twin Lakes Crossing from PUD to R-3, as we discussed <br />when we met last week." <br /> <br /> The rezoning was scheduled to be heard at the city council's June 17, 2002 <br />meeting. Prior to the meeting, Harlicker and Bohlman spoke by telephone. According to <br />Bohlman's notes of the conversation, he told Harlicker that revisions to the plat were not <br /> <br /> <br />
