Mr. Carlson referred to his staff report of January 21, 1982, indicating that the applicant is requesting a use permit to allow recreational fac- ilities and renting out of tennis courts to citizens within the Town. Mr, Carlson noted there are some major problems before this matter can be heard, i.e.: The City Attorney prepared a memo to Commission, dated January 22, 1982 which indicates the owner must establish with the Town that he will be operating a non-profit organization, and also noted that items listed in the staff report must be met. Mr. Carlson noted that the applicant had prepared a report to the Commission,but it had been turned in to Town Hall Friday afternoon, which did not allow staff time to review and report. Staff recommended denial based upon inadequacy of the application. Mr. Carlson stated staff would consider continuing this item if the applicant provided the town with proof of a non-profit organi- zation, and an amended application, report and map to meet the deficiencies listed in the staff report of January 21, 1982. The Public Hearing was then opened. Mr. Bellucci, 26220 Moody Road, stated a report was prepared and turned in Friday the 22nd of January, and that it did cover all concerns pointed out in the staff report.

Commissioner Rydell referred to the City Attorney's memo of January 22, 1982 noting that the Attorney states the commission can not hear this matter until the applicant provides an amended application filed by the non-profit or- ganization and that the deficiencies as pointed out in the January 21, 1982 staff report be corrected. The Public Hearing was then closed.
