Hi Sonya,
Rick’s out of the office today, but asked that I forward you an updated response to the staff report for the proposed
conditional use permit for Elevate Franklin Storage. The response to Public Works item B3 was revised to indicate that
the tiling of the Kennedy lateral was not required. It is our understanding that the City Council waived this condition with
the previous subdivision approvals. Please review and let us know if there are any questions.
Thanks,
