I have been instructed to ask Madison Equities “to retract (its) application” to ensure a modified proposal or forthcoming application accompanied with building plans will go before the Skyway Governance Advisory Committee for a recommendation before presentation to the City Council for a public hearing. If not retracted, the City intends proceed through the Council process to deny to ensure the community input process starts anew when wish to move forward with the request. I expect that an email to me requesting to retract the application and copying DSI- InformationAndComplaints@ci.stpaul.mn.us would suffice to do so.

Appreciate your promptly informing Council President Brendmoen and Councilmember Noecker to better assure they are aware of status in advance. I took the liberty to note that I spoke with Jim Crockarell regarding the hours exception processes prior to receiving the written request and that Jim indicated he intends to submit building plans for the property’s renovation before the Council reviews the matter. Let me know if any questions.
