Approved August 2 , 2023 712 plan on 15 , 25 , 45 minutes an hour and 25 minutes , whatever you all decide . We need a limit that we can communicate 713 to the applicant whether it' s their engineer, their attorney , to say this is how much time you have . Plan accordingly . 714 715 Adam Beeman : This isn ' t limiting the debate ; this is just limiting the amount of time that they come and give us the "this 716 is what we want to do . " We can debate for 3 hours if we choose . 717 718 Melissa Poole : If you tell them up front "you have 30 minutes for presentation " and they tell us up front that they need 719 more time , would we have to make a motion to give them that additional time right off the bat? 720 721 Cy Stober: Yes , I would advise you to do that in increments of time . 722 723 Delores Bailey : Can we say 30 with a limit of 45 ? 724 725 Beth Bronson : I don ' t think we can do a maximum . 726 727 Charity Kirk : You all have sat through a lot of presentations . What do you feel like is an adequate time limit? 728 729 Cy Stober: I would say anywhere from 3045 minutes is completely reasonable . 730 731 Melissa Poole : I think 45 . 732 733 Conversation about past presentations. 734 735 Delores Bailey : We can ' t talk in between their presentations , right? 736 737 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 738 bounce around . 739 740 Delores Bailey : We have to agree as a board that we will not ask them questions while they are talking . 741 742 Melissa Poole : So are we all good with the 45 minutes ? 743 744 Overlapping conversation about time limit. 745 746 Beth Bronson : All applicants are allotted 30 minutes for their presentation however if they believe their presentation will 747 extend past 30 minutes , they need to provide that estimation for additional time at the start of the presentation . We have 748 to make a motion on approving or denying it? 749 750 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 751 extra 20 . We have to vote that in as a majority . 752 753 Overlapping conversation 754 755 Lamar Proctor: If I ' m an applicant working with the planning department and I say " This is very complicated and it' s 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 757 extended so my recommendation to you applicant, is that you make that motion at the beginning of your presentation 758 otherwise it' s 30 minutes . 759 760 Adam Beeman : It' s not guaranteed that we agree to extend it. 761 762 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 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 764 time" then you guys . . . 765 766 Charity Kirk : So no more than 30 minutes . . .
