25 Draft <br /> 1 you to hear our case before even deciding if you want to give them any continuance. Because he's <br /> 2 also a realtor, so he can also talk to what they have spoken about. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: I'm not sure I understood you. You do not object to the notion of a continuance. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Vinitha Cardoza: We object. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Leon Meyers: You do object? <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Vinitha Cardoza: Yeah, we do. <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Leon Meyers: Okay. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Vinitha Cardoza: Because we want to present our case today and we would be grateful if you can make a decision <br /> 15 about continuing both because we have already gone to a lot of pain to get this SUP. This is just <br /> 16 where we present the case for changes we're doing, and it is not a permit as people are talking. <br /> 17 So, if you could hear us and then say okay, what we are presenting is valid or invalid, we'll let you <br /> 18 decide, but we really object to this continuance, and we would like to get a decision and end the <br /> 19 case today. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Leon Meyers: Thank you. <br /> 22 <br /> 23 Vinitha Cardoza: Thank you very much. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Leon Meyers: Can I ask the staff to talk to us about the notion of a continuance before the board moves forward <br /> 26 here? <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Patrick Mallett: All I can really say is that we have had continuances in the past.
