Council Minutes of 5/17/2005 and understands the fiustration of trying to deal with the problems. He thinks we ought to be able to do things a little bit better. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, commented again that he believed the Parcel E developer had a contractual relationship with the city. He continues to believe that the developer made a contract with the city when he presented his original plan. By no stretch of the imagination has anybody denied this man his rights. The developer had a chance to present a plan that was more restrictive, but he didn't. So he is using the land exactly the way he wanted to use it.

He cannot debate with the Law Director the risks of going into court on these issues as he is the expert. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2005-36 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading.
