20 <br /> 712 plan on 15, 25,45 minutes an hour and 25 minutes,whatever you all decide.We need a limit that we can communicate <br /> 713 to the applicant whether it's their engineer, their attorney,to say this is how much time you have. Plan accordingly. <br /> 714 <br /> 715 Adam Beeman: This isn't limiting the debate;this is just limiting the amount of time that they come and give us the"this <br /> 716 is what we want to do."We can debate for 3 hours if we choose. <br /> 717 <br /> 718 Melissa Poole: If you tell them up front"you have 30 minutes for presentation"and they tell us up front that they need <br /> 719 more time,would we have to make a motion to give them that additional time right off the bat? <br /> 720 <br /> 721 Cy Stober:Yes, I would advise you to do that in increments of time. <br /> 722 <br /> 723 Delores Bailey: Can we say 30 with a limit of 45? <br /> 724 <br /> 725 Beth Bronson: I don't think we can do a maximum. <br /> 726 <br /> 727 Charity Kirk: You all have sat through a lot of presentations.What do you feel like is an adequate time limit? <br /> 728 <br /> 729 Cy Stober: I would say anywhere from 30-45 minutes is completely reasonable. <br /> 730 <br /> 731 Melissa Poole: I think 45. <br /> 732 <br /> 733 Conversation about past presentations. <br /> 734 <br /> 735 Delores Bailey:We can't talk in between their presentations, right? <br /> 736 <br /> 737 Adam Beeman: Moving forward, my plan is to go one by one and let everyone ask their questions at once. I don't want to <br /> 738 bounce around. <br /> 739 <br /> 740 Delores Bailey:We have to agree as a board that we will not ask them questions while they are talking. <br /> 741 <br /> 742 Melissa Poole: So are we all good with the 45 minutes? <br /> 743 <br /> 744 Overlapping conversation about time limit. <br /> 745 <br /> 746 Beth Bronson:All applicants are allotted 30 minutes for their presentation however if they believe their presentation will <br /> 747 extend past 30 minutes,they need to provide that estimation for additional time at the start of the presentation.We have <br /> 748 to make a motion on approving or denying it? <br /> 749 <br /> 750 Adam Beeman:Yes. If you say it's going to take you 50 minutes,we are going to have to vote whether to give you that <br /> 751 extra 20.We have to vote that in as a majority. <br /> 752 <br /> 753 Overlapping conversation <br /> 754 <br /> 755 Lamar Proctor: If I'm an applicant working with the planning department and I say"This is very complicated and it's <br /> 756 probably going to take us an hour" I would think that if you tell them, our rules are 30 minutes but on motion it can be <br /> 757 extended so my recommendation to you applicant, is that you make that motion at the beginning of your presentation <br /> 758 otherwise it's 30 minutes. <br /> 759 <br /> 760 Adam Beeman: It's not guaranteed that we agree to extend it. <br /> 761 <br /> 762 Perdita Holtz: If you look at number 3 in what I provided the planning board can vote for more time, it could be at the end <br /> 763 of 30 minutes if they are still going.The chair says"you are at your 30:minute limit, and they can say"can I have more <br /> 764 time"then you guys... <br /> 765 <br /> 766 Charity Kirk: So no more than 30 minutes... <br />
