225 <br /> Approved 7.10.24 <br /> 812 <br /> 813 Edwin Cox: I think we would like to be able to use a little bit more time to get the display of information that addresses <br /> 814 your questions up. <br /> 815 <br /> 816 Charity Kirk: So I think it's in your notes that you have to officially request it. <br /> 817 <br /> 818 Edwin Cox: We officially request it. <br /> 819 <br /> 820 Lamar Proctor: At the beginning of your presentation our Rule E sub a says should an applicant anticipate <br /> 821 needing more than 30 minutes to present their applicant's,the applicant shall state their requested time allocation at <br /> 822 the beginning of their presentation and the planning board shall determine by a majority vote whether additional time <br /> 823 be allocated. <br /> 824 <br /> 825 Charity Kirk: So how much time do you want? <br /> 826 <br /> 827 Edwin Cox: An additional 15 minutes,45 minutes. This is a very complicated proposal. <br /> 828 <br /> 829 Charity Kirk: Oh,we know,we've been through complicated proposals before, that's why we set these <br /> 830 rules. <br /> 831 <br /> 832 Chris Johnston: I make a motion to accept the additional 15 minutes. <br /> 833 <br /> 834 Beth Bronson: Second. <br /> 835 <br /> 836 Lamar Proctor: Any discussion? <br /> 837 <br /> 838 Dolores Bailey: I do want us to remember that we stop at 10 no matter what so we're cutting the public off if we <br /> 839 give them the extra 15 minutes. <br /> 840 <br /> 841 Lamar Proctor: Right, as we stated, I anticipate this will take multiple sessions so the public will get an <br /> 842 opportunity to speak if not tonight then at the next session. So, any other discussion about expanding the time from <br /> 843 30 to 45 minutes. <br /> 844 <br /> 845 Whitney Watson: Mr. Proctor, I think that since this information was available in advance that the applicant <br /> 846 should have known that they had 30 minutes. I am reluctant to shortchange the public, however,we may continue <br /> 847 this discussion to a future meeting.We have practical experience where the second and sometimes third meetings <br /> 848 are not as helpful as when we have everybody here, so I really advocate for holding to the 30-minute limit. <br /> 849 <br /> 850 Lamar Proctor: All right,any other discussion? <br /> 851 <br /> 852 Statler Gilfillen: I would respectfully differ with the gentleman. I spent 432 pages, I got this yesterday and 1 <br /> 853 spent most of today reading through this. It is very easy to miss a single detail like that. In all the documents, all the <br /> 854 proposals and all the legalese, I'd like to, even though it means extends, and I want to hear the public,don't get me <br /> 855 wrong, but I don't want to shut off this organization for 15 minutes or a half an hour longer so that they can make their <br /> 856 presentation fairly also. <br /> 857 <br /> 858 Beth Bronson: With that said,would you consider including your motion to extend the meeting until 10:15? <br /> 859 <br /> 860 Lamar Proctor: So we have a seconded motion to extend the applicant's time to 45 minutes, any further <br /> 861 discussion before I take a vote? I'm hearing none, all those in favor of extending the applicant's presentation to 45 <br /> 862 minutes raise your hand. All those opposed raise your hand. Okay, I believe it's opposed,you have 30 minutes. <br />
