Staff, any comments? I don't think we have anybody here for Packard Subdivision. Stiles: Mr. Mayor and Council, just to tell you what it is. Thjs is the property that's all west of Wingate Lane.

Corrie: Okay. Discussion? Excuse me. Council? Bird: I have none, Mayor. Corrie: I'll entertain a motion on the request for time extension. McCandless: Mr. Mayor? Corrie: Mrs. McCandless.
