ANDREWS: The Applicant I’d have to look that up I don’t have that. VITOUSEK: Was that you Mr. Metzler? METZLER: No, I can give you a little bit of background. Earlier I mentioned an unscrupulous purchaser tied up the property, he is the person who instituted that ordinance and when we purchased the property, we I think petitioned to and received one of them were the call voiding that ordinance. VITOUSEK: So, it was that previous owner, or the interim “- - -“. METZLER: Yeah, he was the owner of record of the property, yes. VITOUSEK: Okay. So, he received the Neighborhood Commercial zoning which only applied to the portion of the property that is under the State Land Use urban district. Is that correct? ANDREWS: Correct. VITOUSEK: Okay, and then so Mr. Metzler after you purchased it you initiated the rezone back to Ag zoning? METZLER: Yes. VITOUSEK: And what year was that? METZLER: Well, I don’t know must have been in the late 90’s, I really don’t know. ANDREWS: Oh, I can jump in because the official record is September 12, 2012 is the effective date of the Change of Zone Ordinance Number 02 10 which was initiated by the Planning Director. VITOUSEK: Our background report indicates that was initiated by the Planning Director for lack of compliance. ANDREWS: And it reverted the previously zoned the CN zone area back to the original A-5a zoning. VITOUSEK: And so that that is sort of a discrepancy there, whether it was initiated by the applicant in the late 90’s or whether it was a result of noncompliance by the applicant. Maija? JACKSON: Yeah, Chair Vitousek I think our background report has an error, because it says September 2012, but the ordinance is a 02 ordinance. So, I believe what probably happened was the owner at the time I’m not sure if Mr. Metzler owned the property at the time but back in 2002 the owner probably wrote in requesting that the ordinance be repealed and then the Planning Director initiated that action. 15 EXHIBIT C
