. r Zoning and Annexation Committee July 9, 2001 Page 4 the matter be continued until October 8th and that the formation of a committee take place under the direction of the Zoning and Annexation Committee. He noted that a "turf war" between governmental entities has resulted in the City being the final decision maker. The Council Attorney noted that the current interim protection of HPC on the building is to expire on July 20th and they would have the authority to issue another interim protection thereafter. Debate on whether the thirty(30) day limit of the new state law applies or not may take place since HPC has stated that they may seek a Declaratory Judgment action on that issue. She suggested that if the matter is to be continued that a shorter period of time be considered. Dr. Varner suggested that if a report is to be developed by a special committee that it address such concerns as a review of viable proposed uses for the building; the funding sources for such proposals; the time tables needed and that Community and Economic Development review the data to see if they are feasible. Council Member Ujdak suggested that the matter be continued until August 27th with an interim report from the special committee being due two (2) weeks prior with a final report due on the 27th. Following further discussion, Council Member Ujdak made a motion, seconded by Dr. Varner that Bill No. 45-01 be continued at the request of the petitioner to August 27th subject to the Chairperson of the Zoning and Annexation Committee appointing a special committee to review and report back to the Z & A Committee. Council Member White could utilize the recommendations made by Mr. Oxian in his letter but would have the authority to expand the number of individuals. The special committee would be required to review all applicable data and provide an interim report to the Z&A Committee by August 13th and a final report by August 27th addressing the various issues highlighted by Dr. Varner earlier. The motion passed. There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member White adjourned the meeting at 4:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member Karen L.
