Board Agenda Item on 11/4/97
Dear Chair DeSaulnier:
At our request, previously this matter was continued to the
November 4, 1997 Board meeting in order to allow Herb Volin at
Diablo Soils Engineers to complete some additional soils analysis
requested by the County's Planning Geologist, Darwin Myers.
Although not technically necessary, staff and the Raymonds agreed
that it would be best to complete that review prior to
consideration of this rezoning by the Board.
The additional analysis will not be available to Darwin. Myers in
sufficient time to review it prior to the Board meeting on November
4th. Therefore, we request that this rezoning matter be continued
to the Board meeting on December 2, 1997.
I reviewed the matter of a continuance with the Community
Development Department staff, who have indicated to me that a
continuance at this time is reasonable and appropriate. By copy of
this letter to Karen McPherson's attention, I am informing
Supervisor Gerber' s office of this request for a continuance. As
before, I would ask Karen to contact the AIA representatives to
inform them of this requested continuance.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
ark L. Armstrong
