Good afternoon Kerry,
Thank you for your quick response. Apologies for a follow-up request, but I have realized that with
the City only having one City Council meeting in December, our first meeting in January is heavily
impacted with items. Can you confirm that your team would be comfortable waiving the appeal
timeline of 60 days to the end of January 2025 to allow us to schedule your appeal for either January
CC meeting (the 14th or the 28th)?
Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Kerry,
The City is ready to hear the appeal at its upcoming November 26, 2024 meeting, for which the City
published public hearing notice. However, as a courtesy to the appellant, the City is willing to
continue the appeal hearing to January 14, 2025, so long as you agree to waive any appeal timelines
under the Subdivision Map Act, to the extent applicable, to allow you more time to prepare. Can
you please confirm in writing? The City’s agenda is published today.
Sincerely,
Brian

Hi Patrick – we would like to request a continuance of the Appeal hearing to the first meeting in
January. The 2 week turn around does not give us enough time to prepare properly, and there are
some pior commitments that interfere with the Dec. 10th meeting. So I believe that would take us to
January 14th, 2025, correct?
Would you please let me know what I need to do to request the continuance?
