He stated he had been retained by Pers. Riley to obtain financing for the project. Financing, in the amount of $500,000 is now on deposit, bids have been let and the contractor is ready to start. All that is needed is a permit. He suggested that the subdivision be accomplished subject to the stipulation that the easement problem be worked out. He noted that when he appeared before BCDC on this project he stated that they had a permit. Commissioner Cistulli commented that most of the Conunissi.on was in favor of this project, but he doubted that the City Council would buy stipulations. The City Attorney commented that this must go before the Council, the City must be made a party to the easements, and provisions for public improvements must be made. Since the action of the Planning Commission in this instance is only advisory, he recommended that all problems be resolved and the entire package go to the City Council. He suggested that all parties return to a public meeting when they had straightened out their differences. Chairman Sine asked the participants if they could continue this to another meeting, reminding them that the Commission would not agree to stipulations. Commissioner PAinY. moved that this subdivision be continued to the next regular meeting. Commissioner Jacobs seconded the motion. Attorney Hall protested that a delay of two weeks might endanger the financing. He was reminded by Chairman Sine that the matter had been continued to this meeting so that participants could bring a solution of their problems to the Commission, and that this had not been accomplished. The motion carried by voice vote.
