Dear Mayor Tedesco and Members of the City Council:
We represent Terra Firma, L.P., which owns properties at 221, 223, 229, and 301
Stanton Avenue. Terra Firma has been working on site plans and a minor subdivision
plat of these four parcels under existing zoning regulations toward constructing a new 18-
plex. My client and I have been very grateful for city staff support of this project.
Because a matter in litigation for another client required my immediate attention
most of the day, I was unable to deliver the completed minor subdivision platting docu-
ments to the Department of Planning and Housing on Monday, April 10 to meet the sub-
mission deadline fifteen days before the council meeting. I did, however, deliver them
Tuesday morning, April 11. This was my fault, and not my client's fault.
In order for this plat and this project to be successful, my client needs have this
plat considered and approved under existing zoning regulations. I respectfully request
that the Council consider a waiver of the fifteen-day requirement and consider this plat at
the April 25 council meeting or convene a special meeting on April 26 for the purpose of
approving this plat. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter.
Yours very truly,
S , JAHN, FEILMEYER&FEILMEYER, PLC
