not come before the City Council for one year. Mayor Kant also stated that Mr.
Corte could withdraw the request, and could be reconsidered by the City Council.

plan. Councilmember Quinn expressed concerns that originally five buildings

meeting:
• No parking spaces facing Hwy 98
• Imperious landscaping along Hwy 98
• Traffic light at the entrance of Rock Creek
• A second entrance at the North of the commercial project
After further discussion, Councilmember Ford expressed that it would be
wise for Mr. Corte to withdraw his request, and schedule another work session so
all details could be worked out. Mayor Kant stated that a work session will be

Corte eventually withdrew his request.
