Flag the incomplete voting record before City Council acts on the Marsh Lane permit

Context: The February 20, 2025 vote record explicitly asterisks Rubin's participation with '*Rubin out of room, shown voting in favor,' a documented irregularity in the approval record.

Recommended: If you represent a party with standing to challenge the approval, the CPC minutes document that Commissioner Rubin was out of the room but recorded as voting in favor — raising a procedural question about whether the 14-0 count is legally valid before City Council takes final action on Z245-109.

Request voting records from the Marsh Lane recreation center approval

Context: The CPC minutes for Z245-109 (February 20, 2025) contain the notation '*Rubin out of room, shown voting in favor,' a documented discrepancy in the recorded unanimous vote.

Recommended: The official City Plan Commission vote on the Marsh Lane private recreation center permit lists Commissioner Rubin as voting in favor, but the minutes note Rubin was out of the room — request the audio recording, attendance log, and voting documentation from the February 20 hearing to verify whether the 14-0 count is accurate.

Comment at City Council before the Marsh Lane recreation center permit is finalized for four years

Context: The CPC voted 14-0 on February 20, 2025 to approve Z245-109, with Commissioner Wheeler-Reagan's amendment doubling the permit period from two to four years before it advances to City Council.

Recommended: City Plan Commission approved a Special Use Permit for a private recreation center on the west side of Marsh Lane — the permit duration was extended to four years (up from the originally proposed two years) and now goes to City Council for a final vote where public comment is accepted.
