To the DRC:
The Lake Forest Neighborhood Association would like to request a continuance on the matter of LU 23 -
0002 while the matter of Charter Chapter X is being further investigated. Per the email from the City
Manager (attached), it seems prudent that the result of the suggest ed investigation would have impact
on the matters being discussed in this current appeal process.
Thank you,
Kate Myers, Chair
Lake Forest Neighborhood Association

Hello Scott and All,
I certainly understand your position after reading this memo, and I am sorry that we didn't give you
a heads up about it.
I think those of us on City staff believe that litigation over this matter is inevitable, whether it comes
from an appeal of a decision or from the applicant seeking a writ of mandamus. This traditional
form of appeals imposes a significant cost on the party bringing the appeal. Given the near
certainty of litigation, Ms. Osoinach and I wanted to propose a process to you called a validation
proceeding. In essence, the City would ask a judge for an interpretation of whether Chapter X
applies to temporary roads used for construction. This process would impose the majority of the
costs on the City, while still enabling Love LO Parks to fully participate and oppose the City's
position.
As I am sure you can understand, the City has utilities that currently run through existing nature
parks, and it would be important for us to have clarity on how Chapter X applies.
This is not a very thorough explanation, which is why we hoped for a meeting for a fuller
discussion. If you're interested at all, I'd suggest that it might be good for the attorneys that are
involved with LO Parks, perhaps Ms. Wasko and Mr. Kohlhoff, to talk with Ms. Osoinach.
All of the best.
Martha
