RE: File No. CUE-3-03/VE-4-03,Request for Clarification or Reconsideration
of Hearing Examiner decision
Dear Mr. Montgomery:
My office received one response to my letter dated July 25,2003 regarding your
request for clarification/reconsideration of my decision dated July 8, 2003 in the
above matter. This was a short memorandum dated August 1, 2003 from John
Todd, in which Mr. Todd indicated that a practice match between competing
teams would be considered an acceptable use in the proposed new building,but a
soccer match between competing teams would not.
I conclude that the holding of league games or soccer matches between competing
teams in the new facility falls outside the scope of the original application and of
my approval. Practice matches are acceptable provided this does not increase the
maximum parking needs for the uses on the combined site.
This clarification does not rule out a later request by the applicant for a change of
conditions to the current approval,which would require a separate application and
new hearing.
I have deleted the 13 days elapsing from the date of issuance of my decision(July
11, 2003) and the date of receipt of your request for clarification/reconsideration
from the 21-day appeal period,to allow eight(8)days to appeal my decision as
clarified. The 8-day period will run from August 11,2003,to allow for a 3-day
mailing period(plus weekend) from the date of this letter.
