Approved 7.10.24 812 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 813 your questions up. 814 815 Charity Kirk: So I think it's in your notes that you have to officially request it. 816 817 Edwin Cox: We officially request it. 818 819 Lamar Proctor: At the beginning of your presentation our Rule E sub a says should an applicant anticipate 820 needing more than 30 minutes to present their applicant's, the applicant shall state their requested time allocation at 821 the beginning of their presentation and the planning board shall determine by a majority vote whether additional time 822 be allocated. 823 824 Charity Kirk: So how much time do you want? 825 826 Edwin Cox: An additional 15 minutes, 45 minutes. This is a very complicated proposal. 827 828 Charity Kirk: Oh, we know, we've been through complicated proposals before, that's why we set these 829 rules. 830 831 Chris Johnston: I make a motion to accept the additional 15 minutes. 832 833 Beth Bronson: Second. 834 835 Lamar Proctor: Any discussion? 836 837 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 838 give them the extra 15 minutes. 839 840 Lamar Proctor: Right, as we stated, I anticipate this will take multiple sessions so the public will get an 841 opportunity to speak if not tonight then at the next session. So, any other discussion about expanding the time from 842 30 to 45 minutes. 843 844 Whitney Watson: Mr. Proctor, I think that since this information was available in advance that the applicant 845 should have known that they had 30 minutes. I am reluctant to shortchange the public , however, we may continue 846 this discussion to a future meeting. We have practical experience where the second and sometimes third meetings 847 are not as helpful as when we have everybody here, so I really advocate for holding to the 30-minute limit. 848 849 Lamar Proctor: All right, any other discussion? 850 851 Statler Gilfillen: I would respectfully differ with the gentleman. I spent 432 pages, I got this yesterday and I 852 spent most of today reading through this. It is very easy to miss a single detail like that. In all the documents, all the 853 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 854 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 855 presentation fairly also. 856 857 Beth Bronson: With that said, would you consider including your motion to extend the meeting until 10:15? 858 859 Lamar Proctor: So we have a seconded motion to extend the applicant's time to 45 minutes, any further 860 discussion before I take a vote? I'm hearing none, all those in favor of extending the applicant's presentation to 45 861 minutes raise your hand. All those opposed raise your hand. Okay, I believe it's opposed, you have 30 minutes. 862
