D R A F T Hunter Spitzer: Seconded.1559 1560 Adam Beeman: I vote going ahead and solving the problem tonight if anybody else is ready to vote. I’m ready to 1561 vote. I’m got my choices made so if everybody else wants to shelve it that’s fine but I’m ready to move forward 1562 tonight.1563 1564 Kim Piracci: I would like to postpone voting but to me it doesn’t make sense to meet in two weeks if we haven’t 1565 heard from the DOT though it could be a conditional two weeks from tonight sort of thing.1566 1567 Michael Harvey: Kim, let me just interject that it unfortunately can’t be conditional you are going to be adjourning to a 1568 date and time certain so there will be a meeting if you all elect to do it this way on the 19th and if we don’t have the 1569 response unfortunately we don’t have the response and I hate to say it that way but it’s the truth. The two options 1570 you have are to adjourn this meeting matter or table this matter until the September meeting which obviously the 1571 applicant I know has a concern with or to say you’re going to attempt to do a special meeting on the 19th. If there’s 1572 Board consensus to try that and we don’t have answers, we don’t have answers. That’s the unfortunately blunt way 1573 I’m going to have to put it to you.1574 1575 Randy Marshall: Part of my thinking was that we still have a number of people who wanted to address this some of 1576 them we may have already have heard from and understand what their positions are but there may be others that 1577 we’ve not heard from at all and I’m not sure we want to start listening to them at this late time. The other things is 1578 we’ve not been able to address the DOT issues and nothing may change as Michael suggests in two weeks but at 1579 least in two weeks we will have a little bit more information and can get a little bit more input from the public and 1580 make an informed decision at that time. I can vote tonight, I know where I stand but I just want to make sure that 1581 everybody feels like they’ve had enough opportunity to get all the information they need or to provide all the 1582 information they need.1583 1584 David Blankfard: I think that we should postpone it to the 19th. I guess we’ll have to have a motion again. But we’ll 1585 wait and until the 19th we can listen to more of the constituents, the public right because they were saying they were 1586 not notified this will give them more time to rally their forces and then if the DOT isn’t there, we’ll just listen to the 1587 public and if the DOT we can finish it then and there. 1588 1589 Craig Benedict: Perdita how many people do you have still want to speak tonight?1590 1591 Perdita Holtz: There are 14 people that have their hands raised.1592 1593 Adam Beeman: I have a question if we come back on the 19th and we don’t have the information from DOT are we 1594 going to push it out again.1595 1596 David Blankfard: We’ll just listen to the public.1597 1598 Adam Beeman: I understand that but are we going to push the vote out again or are we going to vote on the 19th? 1599 1600 Randy Marshall: I suggest that we have a vote on the 19th we’ll have all the information available and I think we 1601 should go ahead and vote then and I would also recommend for people who want to speak, to try not to continue to 1602 repeat yourselves and to provide us with new information or insight which will help us get closer to making a decision.1603 1604 Michael Harvey: Chair Blankfard, just to remind the Board that if you adjourn the meeting to a date and time certain 1605 and adjourn to a specific format, we will not be resending out notifications because this is a continuation of the 1606 meeting. We will not be sending out new notices, we’re not obligated to send out new notices because you are 1607 adjourning to a date time certain. We will post it on the website as we have done with tonight’s meeting but we will 1608 not be sending out notices to everyone within 1000 feet.1609 1610 MOTION by Randy Marshall to adjourn the Planning Board meeting to August 19, 2020 at 7:00 PM via Zoom. 1611 Seconded by Hunter Spitzer.1612 VOTE:9-2 (Adam Beeman and Kim Piracci opposed)1613 1614 31
