41 As the Chair has already alluded to, this is a Class A Special Use Permit and is held in a quasi- judicial format. Meaning those parties for and against the application have to provide sworn testimony, as well as competent material and substantial evidence on the merits of the proposal. The Applicant ultimately, by our Unified Development Ordinance, has the burden of demonstrating this project complies with the provisions of the UDO. Anyone opposing the application is required to demonstrate, also through sworn testimony and competent material and evidence, how it doesn't comply and how the Applicant has failed to meet their burden. As has already been alluded to, hearsay or unsubstantiated opinions are not sufficient testimony and are not admissible. If the applicant proves compliance with the Unified Development Ordinance, and there is no evidence in the record that the project does not, then we have an obligation to issue the permit. So with that brief synopsis, what I would like to do is turn this over to Mr. Patrick Mallet of my staff, and the Applicant, to present the actual components of the application package. Thank you. Patrick Mallet: Good Evening Commissioners. I'm Pat Mallet, and I've been duly sworn. I'm going to be fairly brief with my part of the presentation, because my understanding is that Emerson Waldorf has a presentation that they would like to make. So, for the sake of redundancy, I'll go quickly. The School was formed in 1984. That predates our requirements under the section 5.8 of the UDO, to require a Class A Special Use Permit. And basically, the way that the UDO is structured is any expansion of the School would treat it as if it was a new Class A Special Use Permit application. So that's why we're here tonight. Reviewing the case and the essence of, basically, the better part of a year's worth of work, has been the School's effort to develop a Master Plan, get all of their envisions — expansions for the next ten, fifteen, twenty years approved in one fell swoop, so they can not have to come back to you each and every time they do a building.
