18 <br /> 602 Beth Bronson:To my point of there are just 2 people left to hear from or we think we can come to an agreement by <br /> 603 10:30, that would be a reason to make a motion to extend the meeting? <br /> 604 <br /> 605 Charity Kirk: This is called a special session, there is a question about a special session. <br /> 606 <br /> 607 Adam Beeman: I think what Beth was saying is if we thought that we would be able to clear it out quick enough that's <br /> 608 where she wanted to make the motion to say hey, 10:30... <br /> 609 <br /> 610 Beth Bronson:We can't make a motion to end the meeting without resolving the agenda item. It either gets continued, <br /> 611 resolved, or we stay. <br /> 612 <br /> 613 Perdita Holtz: Once there's no quorum,the meeting ends. <br /> 614 <br /> 615 Discussion ensued about the concept of resolving the agenda item before the meeting can end. Overlapping <br /> 616 conversations. <br /> 617 <br /> 618 Delores Bailey:When we say we are going to take it up later, do we determine when that will be? <br /> 619 <br /> 620 Adam Beeman:We determine that. <br /> 621 <br /> 622 Perdita Holtz: I believe if you are going to do a special meeting,you have to give 2 days' notice under open meetings <br /> 623 law. So, it could not be the next night. <br /> 624 <br /> 625 Delores Bailey: I understand wanting to get out of here at 10 o'clock, I totally get that.There's also the level of the public <br /> 626 is coming out,they've spent the time getting here. It takes time to come to these things and find day care and to have <br /> 627 them end at 10 o'clock and them be on the list and then have to do it all over again the following week. I am all for the 10 <br /> 628 o'clock and am going to vote for it but I'm just voicing a feeling of... <br /> 629 <br /> 630 Charity Kirk: I think Lawrence Road was incredibly rude from the applicants... <br /> 631 <br /> 632 Adam Beeman: From my years of experience,we don't typically push meetings. I think this next part of the conversation <br /> 633 where we determine how long the applicant is going to spend,will dictate .... <br /> 634 <br /> 635 Overlapping conversations. <br /> 636 <br /> 637 Adam Beeman: If that's the case,we won't stack two huge projects that same night and we can deal with one and get it <br /> 638 through.Just because you have the opportunity to speak to us,we are not the end all, be all. We are just making a <br /> 639 recommendation. They still have the opportunity to go sit in front of the people that actually make the final decision and <br /> 640 say their peace. The people you really want to speak to, are the other group, not us. The BOCC is the one that makes <br /> 641 the decision regardless.The planning board recommended Buc-ee's and as you see, there is no Buc-ee's in Orange <br /> 642 County. <br /> 643 <br /> 644 Delores Bailey: If we are going to limit the time that the applicant can do, can't the applicant tell us how much time they <br /> 645 are going to take? <br /> 646 <br /> 647 Charity Kirk: That was my suggestion that they need to inform staff if it is going to be longer than a certain amount of <br /> 648 time so that a special meeting can be devoted to them. <br /> 649 <br /> 650 Adam Beeman:That whole thing was way out of bounds. The developer and the lawyer were the only 2 people that <br /> 651 should have spoken.The tennis and HYAA should have signed up for their 3 minutes.They shouldn't have been part of <br /> 652 the presentation. I don't care about all that fluff. <br /> 653 <br /> 654 Delores Bailey:The thing that keeps coming to my mind was when the applicant was sitting in the audience, and he got <br /> 655 back up and spoke during public comment time. <br /> 656 <br />
