Re: Phil Skinner's request for rezoning from C3 to R3.
Dear Nancy:
Due to the inability of Herman and Associates to receive a sewer connection until the fall of
2002, their proposed apartment complex for the south side has been placed on hold until the
spring of 2001.
Inasmuch as the rezoning of the Skinner property was requested solely to facilitate Herman and
Associates development, Mr. Skinner has elected not to pursue the rezoning at this time. We
would like to request that the issue be tabled until April 2001 rather that terminates the process.
Since there is a reasonable chance that the entire project will resume its active process next
spring we hope to avoid repeating the costs associated with the appearance before the Zoning
Board.
Thank you for your consideration.
Robert W. Evans
Agent for Phil and Sharon Skinner
