The only constants that are the same are the piece of land being developed and that the Orchidland community will be impacted by the development. Thus, we request that this Commission either require the project to apply for a new permit with up-to-date traffic counts and studies and full community input during the planning process or at least incorporate the fulfillment of our stated concerns, and I have given other testimony which I believe you all have a copy of, or at least incorporate the fulfillment of our stated concerns as a condition of the renewal We have limited opportunities, ladies and gentlemen, to give community input, and we do, are going to be affected substantially by the project. If these solutions are not acceptable to the Applicant or the Commission, we request permission, even though it is statutorily different in time, to have a contested case hearing, even though it would be a hardship financially and time on our community-based volunteer-run non-profit association operating on a shoestring budget.

PAW`U:I would like to do that, if you grant me the time. GALDONES:You may proceed. PAW`U:Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And pay us in lieu of the promised square footage, 350 square foot 10
