2. PZC 2017-12 Mark Southern will no longer pursue this project requiring rezoning and variance for setbacks. The Commission discussed this request and asked if the petitioner is seeking another location. Ms. Dubajic said he would only consider other river property at this time and that he would donate time for cleanup of the area for 1 year if a Friends of the Park group would organize. Mr. Olson was also concerned that angry citizens at the last meeting indicated the City was trying to “sneak” in the project Mr. Southern proposed. It was suggested that a very large sign regarding hearing dates would be beneficial to be more visible to the public. Commissioners also said there were too many uncertainties regarding the project as presented and their decision was based on the limited information.
