Approved 3113117 <br />1 that may come up. So at this time if the Board would like to have a quick discussion on the need <br />2 to move or change the meeting venue to a larger facility, preferably the Whitted meeting facility, <br />3 where the County Commissioners meet. Do you think it's necessary? <br />4 <br />5 Barry Katz: Well remember last time. It was packed. People were standing. Do you anticipate the <br />6 same kind of crowd? <br />7 <br />8 Michael Harvey: I do. <br />9 <br />10 Barry Katz: Did you get a request for a larger room? <br />11 <br />12 Michael Harvey: No, but the rules and procedure give the Chair... Yeah, and we wanted to bring it <br />13 up now since we can actually get ahead of the game. <br />14 <br />15 Matt Hughes: Is the facility available that day? <br />16 <br />17 Michael Harvey: We believe it is. <br />18 <br />19 Matt Hughes: I see no reason not to. <br />20 <br />21 Barry Katz: Yeah, sure. <br />22 <br />23 Matt Hughes: Only because it got quite hot the last two times. <br />24 <br />25 Barry Katz: I remember the facility. Acoustically it's as good or better than here? <br />26 <br />27 Michael Harvey: I'm not going to say that, but there is an audio system that we'll be taking <br />28 advantage of. It's a larger space so obviously acoustically... <br />29 <br />30 Barry Katz: I can remember attending meetings there and having a little challenge. <br />31 <br />32 Samantha Cabe: I would just suggest if everyone wants to do that we make sure they can actually <br />33 sit in the actual chairs. The last meeting we had there we were sitting down with sort of, not <br />34 functional where the screens were. <br />35 <br />36 Michael Harvey: I agree totally. <br />37 <br />38 Samantha Cabe: Ok. <br />39 <br />40 Michael Harvey: So if it's, Ms. Barrows, if you're amendable to it... <br />41 <br />42 Karen Barrows: Mm -Hmm. <br />43 <br />44 Michael Harvey: Ok. Then we will work to facilitate that and keep Board members apprised of <br />45 where we are. The only other item before we reconvene is I have placed an item at your desk. It is <br />46 a set of three emails that the Planning Staff received on Sunday January the 22nd from Ms. Amber <br />47 Corbin concerning this project. We will address them at the appropriate time. Madame Chair, <br />48 thank you. <br />49 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 79 of 156 <br />
