I don’t think I can, in all fairness, ask the members to stay until <br />2:00 am. That is not fair to anyone. We have some options. We can present the applicant’s case and adjourn. At the <br />next regularly scheduled meeting we can hear the case from those who had properties around where the applicant lives. <br />A second option is that we could adjourn this hearing tonight and reconstitute it at an earlier hour during a weekday <br />hoping we could get through. Even if we started at 5:00 P.M. it could be 11:00 P.M. before we finish. Another option <br />would be to reconvene the board on a Saturday; sometime in the afternoon so there will be plenty of time for the case to <br />be presented by both sides and so the members of the board has all the issues from both sides. The applicant would like <br />to see it brought to a conclusion as soon as possible. I have to solicit from my board members what would be there <br />pleasure. <br /> <br />Mr. Herman: Our preference is that we try and find time when we can do it all together. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: I understand that and I agree with that but in all fairness I want to make sure that everyone has the <br />options available to them. <br /> <br />John Roberts. I would say that if we start at 4:30 P.M. or 5:00 P.M. that we could be done at a reasonable hour. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: Does everybody think they could make a 4:00 P.M. on a Monday? The next Monday is the 15th or the <br />22nd. Is the 22nd President’s day? <br /> <br />Mr. Maitland: We need as much time as you are able to give us to get our impact study completed. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: Two weeks? <br /> <br />Mr. Maitland : At least two weeks. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: The 22nd or the 1st? I would vote for the 22nd. All the kids are in Orange County Schools. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: The 22nd is the Quarterly Public Hearing of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners and Mr. <br />Roberts cannot attend. There are members of the Board of the Adjustment that will be obligated to be at the Public <br />Hearing. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: I can miss that. <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Our staff may not be able to attend either, specifically me. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: Have you got a presentation that night? <br /> <br />Michael Harvey: Yes. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: Mr. Lonsway, if we went another month, what happens? <br /> <br />Gene Lonsway: We just went another month but we have to do what we have to do. If that date is the earliest date that <br />works for everyone it is acceptable. If we can do it sooner, I would love that. <br /> <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: I hope you have the second Monday’s on your calendar. Now, we just move this from 7:30 to 4:00 P.M. <br />on the 8th of March. Because of the nature of this and trying to accommodate this with all it happening in one day, we <br />are going to adjourn this meeting, which we have not called to order, and continue this case until the next regularly <br />scheduled meeting date of the Board of Adjustments in March which is March 8th at 4:00 P.M. in this room. Tina, would <br />you reserve this at 4:00 P.M.? <br /> <br />Tina Love: Yes. <br />
