I too thought we had made progress with our back to back meetings two weeks ago, but when I received your January 25th letter, I realized I was wrong.
I have highlighted the clues to this truth:

" We SEEM to agree on Items #1 and #2." "There MAY not be a problem with Item #3."

It looks to me as if you are not certain that we actually agreed upon anything.

With respect to Item #4, I do not agree that further discussion of this item needs to further delay consideration of the rest of the changes recommended to Council by the Planning Commission over a year ago.

I understand that you need to represent your boss's viewpoint, but don't pretend to yourself that his viewpoint is in the best long term interests of your neighborhood.
