After discussing this conflict with Planner Pam Ricci, she suggested we attempt to re-schedule for the City Council docket of December 4 , 1990. That date would be agreeable with the applicant . We would appreciate consideration of this request for placement on the December 4 , 1990 City Council docket. Please inform me of confirmation of this request.
