This letter is also intended to add to the record with a <br /> written document as was agreed to at said meeting. <br /> Mr. Couture's first reply is in regard to the staff report submitted for the June 15`h meeting. He <br /> was concerned that as part of the historical background there was no mention of his 2004 plat <br /> application and related August 16, 2004 PI nn Commission meeting and staff comments. <br /> This inconsistency was discussed at the June 15 meeting and the record should reflect that time <br /> period. <br /> Mr. Couture would also like the record to show that,although he is in front of the city for a <br /> rezoning of his property from Forest Management to Commercial,he believes he is doing so as a <br /> courtesy to the city at the request of the City Planner in efforts to clear up the record. Some of <br /> the questions and concerns mentioned in this letter will establish the confusion surrounding Mr. <br /> Couture's position. <br /> As the property owner of record,Mr. Couture questions why he was not notified when the city <br /> went through its 2005 city-wide rezoning. As Stellar Properties of Minnesota, LLC,Mr. Couture <br /> made a plat submission in 2004 and his contact information was on file at the city. However,the <br /> rezoning notification was evidently sent to Chris Swenson, a previous landowner and tax holder. <br /> Did the city use up-to-date information to contact the landowners affected by the city-wide <br /> rezoning? Why did the city not use the contact information provided in Mr. Couture's <br /> application? <br /> Page I of 2 <br />
