Old Business

Chairman Martinek: For the Old Business we have the Kaw Valley Industrial Park. Preliminary Plat. Philip & Suzan Reed, Owners. Item continued 4/18/2007 for correspondence from applicant. Do we have a staff report on that Dan?

Dan Van Patten: Actually the staff report consists of a couple of emails. Please refer to Attachment A. There hasn’t been any action on it or anything submitted to meet the deadline of May 8 in order to make it on to the agenda. Now if we go back to the previous meeting, we had a recommendation from the City Engineer to either table it or deny it and we tabled it. If we can table it again, we can let them have until the next meeting to get their information in. In fact they have an engineer working on it now. If it is turned-in in a timely manner and the City Engineer has time to review it.
