Hi Rob,
Please see the request below from Randi Rivera – it’s a bit of an unusual situation in that the
developer has two projects (one in SPIN #1 and one in SPIN #5) that they have indicated they want
considered as one project. My advice to them in the email below was that they speak with you, give
you the specifics of both cases and then with that information, you would make a determination on
whether the projects should be considered at one or two separate meetings.
Once you have spoken with Ms. Rivera, please email me your meeting recommendation.
SPIN EC – you are copied as an FYI per the SPIN meeting guidelines.
Thanks,
Alison Ortowski

Hi Randi,
Thank you for your email. As you mentioned, the first step in the SPIN Meeting process is to speak
with the SPIN Representative who will then make a recommendation on whether or not a meeting is
needed. I understand that you would like to consider both of your projects as one; however, if they
1
will be going forward through the development process as separate cases, we will need to hold
separate meetings. If, however, at the end of the Council meeting process it will be considered as
one development, then one meeting would fit.
Your indicated that your projects are located in SPINs 1 and 5. The SPIN #1 Representative is Rob
Baker. The representative for SPIN #5 is currently vacant. Since this is a unique situation, I would
recommend contacting Mr. Baker and let him make the determination as to whether or not one
meeting or separate meetings would best fit the SPIN meeting criteria.
Following Mr. Baker’s recommendation, if you wish to schedule a meeting, please fill out and return
the attached SPIN meeting request form prior to the submittal deadline for your desired SPIN meeting
date. Please note that I cannot schedule a meeting without a recommendation from the SPIN
Representative.
The next available SPIN Meeting dates and corresponding submittal deadlines are:

Alison:
I would like to request a SPIN meeting with representatives from areas #1 and #5 for two proposed residential
subdivisions. The proposed developments are located just across 114 from each other and we would like to consider
them as one project. The eastern most subdivision (33 lots) is located along Kirkwood Blvd, directly north of the Verizon
campus and west of Kirkwood Hollow. The western most subdivision (113 lots) is just across the highway located north
of Dove Road and along Sam School.
We have not yet filed an initial application with the City but we wish to meet with the neighbors as soon as we can. We
anticipate submitting a zoning change request for both properties to do a Residential PUD within the next few
weeks. Will you please let me know when the next available meeting dates are? On a previous SPIN request I did with
nd
you, you mentioned that the 2 step is to get in touch with the representatives to see if a SPIN meeting is even
necessary, which I will do, but I wanted to let you know that we definitely want to do conduct the meeting and present
our project.
Thank you,
Randi L. Rivera, AICP
