Chair Jacobs: It would seem to me that it might take more than one Planning Board meeting, <br /> so I think you have to give the Planning Board time for two meetings prior to the public hearing. <br /> Judith Wegner: What's the rush. I mean, this is an important set of deliberations for meeting <br /> multiple times a week on the Comprehensive Plan. I would think we'd want to bring it closure <br /> before you take your break, if that's appropriate. You've seen us die off one at a time here from <br /> sickness or exhaustion or whatever, and we really want to do justice by the Comp Plan material <br /> for you too, so if you want us to proceed, you've got to cut us a little bit of slack, please. <br /> Sam Lasris: I want to give the public the opportunity to receive the material if there is an open <br /> house, but is there going to be some time allowed for that? <br /> Chair Jacobs: We need to work back from the fact that in June, we're going to be pretty <br /> involved in the budget, and we're going to adjourn at the end of June. So, somewhere in <br /> between there, we're going to need a recommendation from you, and we may need a fair <br /> amount of time to discuss this as well, especially considering how difficult it's going to be for us <br /> to even schedule an extra meeting, so we'll have to do this as part of one of our regularly <br /> scheduled meetings and we probably won't get much else done. I'm still looking for something <br /> that's a compromise, preferably before the public hearing on the 19th of May, but if not, certainly <br /> before the end of June, I mean before the start of June. <br /> Jay Bryan: What about after the public hearing on May 19th <br /> Jeffrey Schmitt: One option to throw on the table in addition to this is that if we wanted to <br /> defer the completion of the Comprehensive Plan three months. <br /> Jay Bryan: Craig, do you have the Planning Board's meeting schedule regarding the updated <br /> Comprehensive Plan? <br /> Craig Benedict: Actually, there is roughly a ten-day, it's called a hiatus, after we prepare the <br /> agenda for May 19th, roughly May 9th to the 19th, there is nothing. The documents would have <br /> been prepared by that time. No special joint meetings occur from roughly May 9th to the 19th <br /> So, there is some time prior to that quarterly public hearing. Maybe May 7th and May 14th, like <br /> two Wednesdays in a row. <br /> Chair Jacobs: Why don't we refer to the Planning Board for May 7th, and then you can decide <br /> when you want to meet a second time to get it to us by the beginning of June. Maybe that will <br /> work. <br /> Geof Gledhill: Let me suggest that another way of saying that would be to refer it to the <br /> Planning Board for a recommendation back to you no later than, pick some date and let them <br /> decide on the meeting. <br /> Chair Jacobs: No later than June 3rd, which is our regularly scheduled meeting. <br /> Geof Gledhill: And then you would continue this public hearing until June 3`d <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br /> refer the Buckhorn Road Associates LLC Rezoning and Class A Special Use Permit <br />
