DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 76 of 156 <br /> <br />Susan Halkiotis: I’d just make a couple of comments about that. First of all, I probably won’t 1 <br />support extending this meeting. If you do consider extending this meeting I would highly 2 <br />recommend, having served on other Boards that went late into the evening, putting a deadline on 3 <br />what your extension is so that it’s not overended. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Matt Hughes: Actually, my comment was that I was going to make a motion that the meeting could 6 <br />extend by no more than 45 minutes, and would give us ample time to hear from the next two 7 <br />witnesses and possibly citizens, if we are efficient and if our Chair intends to keep people on task. 8 <br /> 9 <br />James Bryan: If I could chime in that you can’t put a hard deadline for time. You can’t say you’ve 10 <br />only got ten minutes but it could be a strong advisory… 11 <br /> 12 <br />Samantha Cabe: We will vote again in 45 minutes, can we say that? 13 <br /> 14 <br />James Bryan: You can do that. You can also say that we’ve granted everybody extreme 15 <br />leniencies thus far, we will not in the future. That sort of thing. And come down on relevancy, 16 <br />repetitous, materiality, things like that. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Samantha Cabe: Does anyone else on the Board have an alternate proposal to Matt? Are you 19 <br />making that as a motion Mr. Hughes? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Matt Hughes: Yes. I move that we extend our meeting 45 minutes and we can revisit that at the 22 <br />end of that period and that we remind our folks to be efficient in their testimony. 23 <br /> 24 <br />MOTION made by Matt Hughes to extend meeting 45 minutes and then decide at that time to 25 <br />continue or reconvene. Seconded by Barry Katz. 26 <br />VOTE: 2-3 (Susan Halkiotis, Karen Barrows, and Samantha Cabe opposed) 27 <br /> 28 <br />Samantha Cabe: So we’ll adjorn this meeting, do we need to set a new time? 29 <br /> 30 <br />James Bryan: The default would be to the next meeting but it’s the Boards’ preogative if they want 31 <br />to set something else. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Michael Harvey: Given the holiday schedule there is no way to call a special meeting in my 34 <br />opinion. Your next scheduled meeting is on January the 9th. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Barry Katz: Do we have any applications for the January 9th meeting? 37 <br /> 38 <br />Michael Harvey: There is an application that has been submitted but it is not technically slated for 39 <br />presentation at that hearing. That is something the Board would have to determine. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Matt Hughes: Really? 42 <br />78
