• backup. On July 11, 2001 the City approved the land use change but some difficulty subsequently arose with a school co -location which was not approved by the Department of Community Affairs. He then had another hearing on September 12, 2001 and would have received his approval had Mr. Barczyk of the City Council not been stranded in New York by the September 11th tragedy. He received a 2-2 vote at that time and appeared again on October 24th, 2001 at which time the project was rejected. On October 31, 2001 he approached County Attorney Paul Bangel with a proposed access. Staff subsequently requested that he talk with Mr Mensing relative to the title problems which he did. He has met many times with staff and will continue to work with anyone who can assist him in resolving this issue. Commissioner Ginn commented that she had met several times with Mr. Kirrie and with Mr Mensing and did go out and walk the property. She believed that if Mr. Sembler had been accessing the property through 129th Street that would set a precedent but there would need to be restrictions and Mr. Kirrie would still have to go to all the involved agencies for their approval. Commissioner Adams expressed her frustration with the "tangled mess" of problems involved and questioned the purchase by Mr. Kirrie of the Knights of Columbus property. Mr. Kirrie explained that he had purchased that property as a backup and currently has some interest in that property from a church. Commissioner Macht referred to staff's recommendations at the conclusion of their Memorandum and asked Mr Kirrie to respond to each condition as to whether or not he would be willing to have that condition apply. Mr. Kirrie, referring to installation of water and sewer lines at his expense, replied that he would not be willing to do that. It is not a city or state regulation and would be prohibitively expensive. He felt the lines should come down 129th Street. FEBRUARY 5, 2002 • BK 2 PG h.II -71-
