yet completed, but requested that the rezoning request be considered "tonight to get that <br />out of the way." Harlicker indicated that the city council "would be reluctant to approve <br />rezoning on a parcel for which they are not looking at the plat at the same time." <br />Harlicker recommended moving both the rezoning and preliminary plat applications to <br />the council's August meeting. Bohlman objected and explained to Harlicker that this <br />type of delay might jeopardize the project. Harlicker told Bohlman: "I'11 see what I can <br />do. Fax me a short letter with your request." Bohlman's letter, dated June 17, states: <br /> <br /> As we are in the process of finishing up the revisions <br /> to our plans for Twin Lakes Crossing, please continue <br /> consideration of our pending requests for rezoning and <br /> preliminary plat approval to the next earliest possible date <br /> with the city council. <br /> <br />No one from Tollefson attended the city council's June 17, 2002 meeting. At that <br />meeting, Harlicker informed the council that Tollefson had requested a continuance. <br />Harlicker did not, however, indicate that Tollefson wanted the matter heard as soon as <br />possible. The council continued Tollefson's rezoning request to July 15, 2002. <br /> <br /> At the July 15 meeting, Tollefson's attorney presented a letter to the city council <br />stating that "his firm believes that the 60 day period has expired on the zoning application <br />and the zoning application is approved by state statute, effective June 29, 2002." The city <br />council denied Tollefson's request to rezone from R1 to R3 based on the following <br /> <br />findings: <br /> <br /> 1. The current zoning is consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan land use designation of MR (Medium <br />Residential). <br /> 2. There is no compelling reason for the rezoning request. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
