notify surrounding property owners that the matter has been continued. They wouldn't do that, if <br /> they had to go before the commission to request the continuance because they wouldn't be sure if <br /> they were going to be granted a continuance. They would have to be ready to move forward on <br /> the matter, and so would all parties. At this point all parties have been notified that the issue has <br /> been continued. And so we have not had an opportunity to prepare for this matter today. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay—Commissioner Van Pernis. <br /> VAN PERNIS: Can you hear me? <br /> VITOUSEK: Yes. <br /> VAN PERNIS: I disagree with the Planning Department's analysis. I think(indiscernible) the <br /> language of the fee rule says the Planning Commission can decide, or implies that. But I'm <br /> concerned because the lateness of the application, whether or not there is public testimony, that <br /> should be taken. I also would like to hear from the Planning Department as to whether—two <br /> thingsa notice has been, they signed the notice, originally was presented or in place, and <br /> secondly, whether the application fee, the fee that has been referred to, has been paid. <br /> DARROW: I have received the filing fee for the continuance. Maija, if you could answer the <br /> other question. <br /> JACKSON: Yeah, I believe the sign is still posted on the property. And the applicant did <br /> provide notification to all owners within 300 feet of today's hearing. They did not send out a <br /> notice yet that the hearing was, that they requested to continue the hearing. However, the <br /> department did put on our website that the hearing was continued, so anybody that views our <br /> website and the background and recommendation reports would see that the hearing was <br /> continued. <br /> VITOUSEK: Commissioner Van Pernis. <br /> VAN PERNIS: In follow-up, you say, "believe"; are you certain or not certain that the notice <br /> including the sign that goes up on property was timely in place? <br /> SMITH: (Raises hand) <br /> VITOUSEK: I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, we are not taking public testimony at this point. <br /> SMITH: I just wanted to clarify that the sign is in place. <br /> VAN PERNIS: Well, it's in place now, but was it in place prior to the meeting? <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
