21 <br /> 767 <br /> 768 Whitney Watson: Unless we vote on it. <br /> 769 <br /> 770 Melissa Poole: Where the 2 Xs are,we want 30 minutes. <br /> 771 <br /> 772 Chris Johnston: Do we want any staff recommendation that the presentation looks to be something....in the same way <br /> 773 that staff has the recommendation that this follows the planning board requirements and the LIDO and that sort of thing? <br /> 774 <br /> 775 Perdita Holtz: If we know in advance before abstracts are written and go out that this might be longer, it could be <br /> 776 something that we can add into the abstract. So that you would even know a week in advance that this might need more <br /> 777 time. <br /> 778 <br /> 779 Melissa Poole: I would like to recommend that we codify forever in time into the rules and procedures that planning <br /> 780 board members would be recognized by the chair for questions or comments. <br /> 781 I just want some formality because oftentimes things get lost with people speaking over one another. <br /> 782 <br /> 783 Discussion ensued about this topic. <br /> 784 1. 30-minute limit on applicant presentations <br /> 785 2. Want to codify into the procedures 10 pm stop time. <br /> 786 3. Codify ability to add more time to applicant presentations if voted on. <br /> 787 4. Planning board members will not ask questions during applicants 30 minutes. <br /> 788 5. 3 minutes per person per agenda item <br /> 789 <br /> 790 Discussion ensued about the question of having a lawyer speak for the public in some instances. <br /> 791 <br /> 792 Lamar Proctor: Several of the neighborhood information meetings I attended this spring were just over an hour in length, <br /> 793 is that a function of where they were held? It seems to me there ought to be some relationship between the presentation <br /> 794 here and the length of presentation at those information meetings.They only had an hour because of the library and <br /> 795 maybe that's a guideline that could be passed along to the applicant, you've got 30 minutes to do your presentation then <br /> 796 30 minutes for comment. <br /> 797 <br /> 798 Cy Stober: I really appreciate that feedback and I think as we move into the NIMs being hosted by the applicant,that <br /> 799 offers a much greater opportunity for that....those meetings are intended to be a deep dive for the community to give <br /> 800 feedback and for the applicant to pivot and amend their application accordingly,whether it's their site plan or adding <br /> 801 conditions, commitments, etc. It sounds like there's some lack of knowledge about all the efforts we are going to with <br /> 802 public engagement so what I would like to recommend is that perhaps later this summer,Ashley come back after we've <br /> 803 formalized our newsletter which will come out at the end of June.We are planning on an Economic Development <br /> 804 presentation to you all in July. <br /> 805 <br /> 806 <br /> 807 AGENDA ITEM 9: ADJOURNMENT <br /> 808 MOTION BY Melissa Poole to adjourn.
