103 <br />Lydia Wegman: To me, this is an information meeting. 104 <br /> 105 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: When the neighborhood meeting happens, it quasi-judicial in play? 106 <br /> 107 <br />Perdita Holtz: The Planning Board meeting is not quasi-judicial. From an ideal legal standpoint, the attorneys would 108 <br />like the Planning Board to not be involved. 109 <br /> 110 <br />Tony Blake: The neighbors are looking to us and if we don’t have any information, what is the point of us at all. 111 <br /> 112 <br />Craig Benedict: We are trying to make that meeting more process oriented with information about the process. 113 <br /> 114 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: When does the quasi-judicial process start? 115 <br /> 116 <br />Michael Harvey: I would argue it starts the day the application is accepted to review by the Planning Department and 117 <br />all subsequent meetings that occur as a result are part of the quasi-judicial process. 118 <br /> 119 <br />Paul Guthrie: I agree with all that has been said, but be careful because you are about to go past an advisory board 120 <br />and cut off input that can make wiser decisions. At what point, what do I stop thinking about what I know and have to 121 <br />stop and say what I hear. You need to be careful about how you define that if you want true, good, long term advisory 122 <br />committee members. 123 <br /> 124 <br />Lydia Wegman: If the neighborhood information doesn’t include a presentation by the applicant then it would not be 125 <br />helpful. 126 <br /> 127 <br />Craig Benedict: It includes a review of the project. 128 <br /> 129 <br />Lydia Wegman: There will be time for questions? 130 <br /> 131 <br />Craig Benedict: There may be. The information will be available. This is a dry run so everyone will know what is 132 <br />proposed. 133 <br /> 134 <br />Perdita Holtz: Continued presentation. 135 <br /> 136 <br />Paul Guthrie: How long after the hearing do we have a record so there is a good reference to what is acceptable as 137 <br />evidence and what isn’t? 138 <br /> 139 <br />Perdita Holtz: All evidence is going to have to be made at the hearing. 140 <br /> 141 <br />Paul Guthrie: How long does it take to get that record and will the 60 days be adequate? 142 <br /> 143 <br />Perdita Holtz: You generally make a recommendation in less than 60 days. 144 <br /> 145 <br />Paul Guthrie: Be sure that works within your process. 146 <br /> 147 <br />Perdita Holtz: Continued presentation. 148 <br /> 149 <br />Paul Guthrie: Question on specific language, Section 1B(c) on page 71. 150 <br /> 151 <br />Perdita Holtz: That is not the part being changed. 152 <br /> 153 <br />Paul Guthrie: May need to think about the language in the policy saying basically this document overrules the 154 <br />advisory committee structure set up by the BOCC. 155 <br /> 156 <br />7
