whereby there would be a requirement that would go forth, that would carry over to do another <br /> round of community outreach and conversation? Is that possible? <br /> JACKSON: Typically, when we forward a letter up to Council, we forward what the vote was. <br /> So, if the vote was 4-0 for a favorable recommendation, that's what the Council would see. We <br /> could put something in the letter saying that the commission has requested that the applicant do <br /> another round of collaboration and consultation with the community. But there's nothing, really <br /> hooking the applicant into doing that, that I'm aware of. <br /> KANUHA: Yeah, but Maija <br /> VITOUSEK: Deputy Director. Deputy Director Darrow, go ahead. <br /> DARROW: I'm sorry, Commissioner Kanuha. Just, I just wanted to offer this suggestion. We <br /> only have four commissioners today. It doesn't look like we're going to get, or we may not get a <br /> vote one way or another. It hasn't been voted on at this time. If the applicant is amenable to defer <br /> this application to allow more time to speak with members of the community that Commissioner <br /> Paishon-Duarte is asking, for that communication to be done before feeling comfortable making <br /> a decision, the Planning Director and, or the Planning Department is amenable to defer. And we <br /> can, there can be a request from the commission specifically as to what type of reach out there <br /> should be before they come back. Then from that point, we would be able to consider it again <br /> and there would be also the possibility of having, a good chance of having additional <br /> commissioners on the commission as well. So, that's a thought that can be considered. <br /> VITOUSEK: So, my understanding is that because this was deferred by the Planning <br /> Commission the last time, the obligation to notify the interested parties falls to the Planning <br /> Department? <br /> JACKSON: That's correct. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. So <br /> DARROW: Again, it, the applicant can request a deferral as well. So <br /> VITOUSEK: Well, I'm just speak—talking about the last round when, were we able to notify <br /> the interested parties about the date of today's hearing? <br /> JACKSON: Yes. Yes. <br /> VITOUSEK: Was there any indication from them about whether their concerns had been <br /> resolved? Just given the fact that there was so much public testimony last meeting, and then <br /> there's been some pretty substantial changes to the project and now there's no public testimony <br /> at this meeting. So, do we have any indication whether maybe they liked the changes and that's <br /> why they're not here today? We didn't get any letters, we didn't get any <br /> JACKSON: Tracie, do you want to respond to that? <br /> 9 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
