170 <br /> Quasi-judicial hearings, and decisions, require a 'fair trial standard' including accepting <br /> only competent, material and substantial evidence. Public comments in the form of sworn <br /> testimony meeting evidentiary standards can be accepted. Personal, anecdotal, or hearsay <br /> comments, however, shall not be accepted as they do not represent 'competent, material, and <br /> substantial evidence'. <br /> While County regulations and State law do not require that parties be represented by an <br /> attorney, it may be in your best interests to secure legal counsel to represent your interests at <br /> the hearing. <br /> Further, the applicant has the burden of establishing, by the submission of competent <br /> material and substantial evidence, the existence of facts and conditions that demonstrate the <br /> projects compliance with the various requirements and standards detailed within the UDO. <br /> Those opposing approval of the application shall have the burden of establishing, also through <br /> the submission of competent material and substantial evidence, the specific manner in which <br /> the proposal does not satisfy the requirements for approval of the application. <br /> Planning staff will provide additional information on the review of SUP applications at the <br /> NIM meeting. <br /> The NIM has been scheduled as follows: <br /> Date: Friday, April 10, 2015 <br /> Time: 12:00- 1:30 p.m. <br /> Location: Lower Level —Conference Room Number 4 <br /> West Campus Office Building (W.C.O.B.) <br /> 131 West Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> A Vicinity Map has been attached denoting the location of the West Campus Office <br /> Building. <br /> If you require additional assistance, please contact a Department staff member at (919) <br /> 245-2575.
