consider a request for waiver of the City Code for the proposed Rieske
Subdivision located on the east side of S.E. 7th Avenue between S.E. 3rd
and S.E. 4th Streets. This waiver request includes waiver of the
sidewalk requirement, waiver of requirement for water main extension and
waiver of additional right-of-way requirement. Approval is recommended.
David Reiske, applicant and owner of the property, stated the
Unity of Title came about because he is creating this plat for sub-
division for future sale and development.

Reiske to market the property as three lots without having to come
before the Commission in the future. It will be an administrative
action by the Chief Building Official to release the Unity of Title to
allow the construction to take place. This does not waive his having to
go before the Historic Preservation Board for demolishment of the
structure.

9.L. Settlement Offer. The Commission is to consider terminating
negotiations with H. Kurt Kettlehut and Associates and payment in the
amount of $11,781.81 to settle a contract dispute, contingent upon
receipt of all drawings and other documentation relating to work for
which the City contracted. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Andrews returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
Nancy Davila, City Horticulturist, stated this is not so much a
settlement offer as it is payment due for receipt of the drawings. The
money owed Mr. Kettlehut has no relationship to the fact that the
drawings are being held. The money the City feels is due him is for
services that were rendered for things that have been used, and some of
it for reimbursables for various items that were paid out of pocket.
Mr. Andrews stated he feels problems created by consultants
should be borne by the consultants.
Mr. Andrews moved approval of the settlement offer conditioned
on the receipt of the documents, drawings and the release within two
weeks; if not, this issue should be brought back to the Commission for
consideration, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission

Mr. Andrews. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr.
Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Randolph - No; Mayor Lynch - Yes;

shopped.
