<br />Davidson opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Howard asked staff if there were any limits to how many times an item can be continued. <br /> <br />Sam Light, City Attorney, stated there are no written limits to how many times an item can be <br />continued; however, an item is typically not continued more than twice. <br /> <br />Howard felt that the applicant has received too many continuances and needs to resolve the issues <br />and move forward or start over. <br /> <br />Sisk agreed with Howard. He felt this ordinance should be denied and the applicant should start <br />again if no resolution could be met. <br /> <br />Levihn proposed setting a deadline for the applicant to resolve the issues and if they could not meet <br />the deadline, they would be required to start over. <br /> <br />Lathrop moved that Council continue this ordinance to the May 5, 1998 Council Meeting and if a <br />resolution has not been reached, the item would not be placed on the City Council Meeting Agenda, <br />seconded by Howard. <br /> <br />Howard stated that although he supports this Ordinance, if the applicant does not show any <br />willingness to resolve the issues, then he did not feel Council should be willing to grant further <br />continuances. <br /> <br />Davidson stated he felt there has been sufficient time to reach a resolution and that Council should <br />hold the public hearing and vote on the issue. <br /> <br />Mayer agreed with Davidson. <br /> <br />Howard stated the applicant should have a final opportunity to resolve this Issue with the <br />understanding that this is the final continuance. <br /> <br />Keany stated that by Council's approval of the Consent Agenda tonight, a landscape bid was <br />awarded for this parcel. If the Ordinance is subsequently continued and denied, then the landscape <br />plan awarded tonight would not be accurate. <br /> <br />Simmons replied that the approval was for authorization to place the plan up for bids. The plan is <br />designed in such a manner that it could be completed in phases, or all at once. <br /> <br />Keany asked Light if Council took action on this tonight and denied the ordinance due to lack of <br />action on the applicant's part, would the PUD become invalid, requiring the applicant to go back <br />through the process again. <br /> <br />3 <br />
