Subject: Reese Variance Hearing #PA2017-214
Dear Patrick,
Per our conversation this afternoon, we received the attached notice Tuesday, February 13`" for the hearing scheduled
next Thursday, February 22nd at 6:30pm. Next week we are out of town on plans made months ago to tour our daughter
to colleges in the pacific northwest over her "ski week" which all public schools have off next week.
We respectively request that the Planning Commission continue the proposed hearing to the next PC Hearing date on
3/8/18 as discussed. If you can, I would be interested to know when the Planning Commissioners will make the decision
on the continuance or not given that we are leaving town on Monday afternoon Presidents day, which is a holiday.
Also, I understand your staff report and related materials will be posted tomorrow. I assume you can assist in directing
me where I might go to start looking at those materials.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Bob Birmingham
