Plan Commission postpones action on sale of city-owned parcel adjacent to 655 N Bond to seek legal counsel
Summary
A request by Dennis Meadows to buy a city-owned parcel adjacent to 655 N Bond was postponed to the June 4 Planning Commission meeting so the commission could obtain legal counsel; commissioners and public commenters cited concerns about selling public land and setting precedent.
Petitioner Dennis Meadows asked the Plan Commission May 7 to purchase a city-owned parcel adjacent to 655 N Bond. Commissioners and members of the public raised concerns about selling public land, long-term public access and setting a precedent for future disposals.
Given those concerns the commission voted to postpone the item to its June 4 meeting so it could obtain legal counsel and review potential implications. The motion to postpone was made by Commissioner Mary Horant, seconded by Commissioner Alex Forer, and carried on a roll call vote recorded in the transcript as "all."
