Speaker 1

5:01

And with that in mind, I would like to remind that for this evening, all agenda items will be two minutes for every agenda item.

5:07

And if you have written copies of testimony, you can submit it to staff for the record as well.

5:12

All comments made under this item for specific action items will be cross-referenced to those items.

5:17

Are there any members of the public who wish to speak under this portion of the agenda?

5:21

Please come up if so.

5:22

And I do know that there is potentially one agenda item of interest that has been obeyed.

5:28

And so I just want to say that for the record that the blue heron item is not being heard tonight.

Unassigned speaker

5:33

Is

Speaker 1

5:34

it

Speaker 4

5:34

not been obeyed?

Speaker 1

5:35

Housekeeping item, BS.

Speaker 5

5:36

Thank you, Madam Chair.

5:37

My name's John O'Reilly.

5:39

I reside at 3013 Pinna Lane.

5:41

I also own the property at 619 Campbell, both of which are uh immediately uh south of the property that's included in item number 39.

5:50

I'm here along with several neighbors who are here.

5:53

There are many other neighbors on interested in this item who are not here, who have been told one that uh it's continued.

6:00

Uh two that it can't be continued except uh this evening uh by this body.

6:05

So we are here to make sure that we don't have the issues we had with the last blue heron matter, where many were told it was continued or obeyed, uh, when in fact it wasn't.

6:15

So I would respectfully request that this public comment period be held open until you finalize your agenda, unless you've already done that and held in abeyance item number 39.

6:28

If item number 39 is not held in abeyance, we have a lot more public comment.

6:32

If it is held in abeyance, uh so be it it's consistent with what we've heard.

Speaker 1

6:37

I'll just say on agenda item six is our housekeeping, and that is where we will announce the abeyances.

6:43

But we are obeying certain items tonight.

Speaker 5

6:45

Okay, again, I would respectfully request if 39 is not obeyed, you keep this public comment hearing open so I can provide more clarity in terms of why it uh the people are here that are opposed to it.

Speaker 1

6:57

I will say that if it is not obeyed, it will still be a public hearing item, and at that time, then all people will be allowed to give comment on agenda item 39.

7:05

Um, but in the interest of time, I would recommend that we be able to move to agenda item six for our housekeeping, and that is where we're able to formally say what agenda items are obeyed.

Speaker 5

7:15

Well, apparently I've not made myself clear.

7:17

I'll try to clarify.

7:19

The vast vast, vast majority of people who are not here are here, are not the ones that are opposed.

7:26

There are many, many people who are not here that are opposed that we're told they don't need to be here tonight because it's gonna be continued.

7:33

So if it's not going to be continued, uh we need to be heard so you can understand why it should be continued.

Speaker 1

7:39

Sir, you will be heard, but this item according to open meeting law on agenda item six for housekeeping is when we are able to say what items are formally obeyed.

7:49

If the agenda item is not obeyed, it will have the proper public hearing um protocol, and everyone will be able to come down and give their opinion at that time.

7:59

But the item is being obeyed.

Speaker 5

8:01

So you're suggesting we have to wait till 39 comes on

Speaker 1

8:04

to

Speaker 5

8:04

do as to why it shouldn't be heard if it's not obeyed.

8:07

Is that what you're suggesting?

Speaker 1

8:08

Nope, it is one of the next agenda items.

Speaker 5

8:11

I tell you what, I will keep my uh request that the public uh comment period be open.

8:16

When do you get to item number six of the problem?

8:18

I'm gonna stand up again and be suburbed while you should tell me I can't be.

8:21

Thank you.

Speaker 1

8:22

Absolutely.

8:25

Seeing no other comment, I close this item.

8:29

Agenda item five is may we have a motion to approve the minutes of the planning commission meeting of September 8th, 2026.

8:35

Vice Chair.
