Open Mike Nate and Debbie Hildenbrand stated that they believed there was to be a Public Hearing for their Administrative Subdivision request (Item 3.7.) at this meeting. The Hildenbrands believed they submitted everything requested by staff. They questioned why their request had been postponed to May 19, 2003. Director of Planning Michele McPherson stated that the Hildenbrand's were informed that their application was incomplete. Mayor Kdinzing suggested that the Subdivision request be moved to May 12, 2003. Councilmember Motin stated that he is concerned about setting a precedent by allowing planning items to be moved to non-planning dates and therefore opening the city up for possible lawsuits. City Attorney Peter Beck stated that in the recent Tollefson case, the Judge did state that the City Council could vary from its normal procedure. He indicated that Council could make the exception of changing a planning item to a non-planning date if the situation was warranted. He indicated that the city would not want to change the date unless there were unusual circumstances. Councilmember Kuester state that this case was different and does meet the exception rule.
