Trudi Ryan, Planning Officer, reported that staff received a letter from one of the owners of the Town Center requesting a continuance for failure to receive a notice of the public hearings.  She stated that staff reviewed the records and determined that it is appropriate to continue Item #2001-0612 to a special Planning Commission meeting of October 6, 2003.  She also noted that there were 2,300 notices mailed and it was unfortunate that one of the owners did not receive the public hearing notice.  Staff recommended a continuance to meet the legal noticing requirement.
