set date, does that prevent you from continuing the criminal case if compliance actually
isn't due until then? I don't want to cut -- I don't want to mess up your process.
Overton: No. His compliance does not stop our going forward with the criminal
prosecution.
Borton: Okay.
Overton: We will continue -- we were, basically, waiting for the decision tonight to go
forward with that case. We will go forward, because, as we all know, the criminal
process is extremely slow and so it's going to be a few months before that would even
get in front of a courtroom. So, I'm not worried about allowing a degree of time. It's not
going to slow us down at all.
Borton: Okay. Madam Mayor, if there is no further discussion, I would float a motion
that -- that we deny Item 14, VAR 08-003, the variance for the Silman setback and as
part of that motion require compliance and the remedy to be completed on or before
June 30th, 2008.
Bird: Is that it?
Borton: That's it.
Bird: Second.
De Weerd: Okay. I have a motion and a second to deny Item 14. Any discussion?
Rountree: I have none.
Bird: I have none.
De Weerd: Okay. Madam Clerk, will you, please, call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Zaremba, yea; Borton, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES.
Item 15: Public Hearing: VAR 08-004 Request for a Variance to UDC 11-3H-
4B.2.a, which prohibits new approaches directly accessing a state
highway to allow a temporary access to SH 55/Eagle Road for Great Wall
