Council Member Wilson called the meeting to order and 5:05p.m. The meeting began with introductions of committee members and staff. CM Wilson read the rules governing the meeting. Ex Parte declarations were provided by Council Members Boyer, Becton, Love, Bowman, Morgan, Crescimbeni, Schellenberg, Wilson, Ferraro, and K. Brown.

 

All speakers and witnesses were sworn in by the court reporter. CM Wilson explained witnesses were required to remain throughout the meeting. Ms. Susan Grandin reviewed the memorandum regarding the rezoning criteria for PUD’s in Riverside/Avondale.

 

Each party provided an opening statement. Mr. Steve Diebenow (representing applicant) was first to present his case. He called three witnesses: Courtland Eyrick, Austin Chapman, and Michael Saylor.  Mr. Bobeck (opposing council) called seven witnesses: Thad Crowe, Fred Pope, Jr., Stephen Tocknell, Jack Shad, Kevin Petway, Kay Ehas, and Mark Shafer.  After each party presented its witnesses, the committee asked additional questions.

 

Both parties objected to the introduction of evidence which was not included in the spiral bound notebook provided to committee members. It was determined that the information may be included in the staff report, application, and/or Planning Commission transcript. Therefore, it was allowable with the objection acknowledged for the record.

 

CM Crescimbeni requested a copy of the spiral bound notebook. In addition, he requested staff to provide an explanation about how licenses were issued for the business with the administrative deviation and the conditions were not upheld.

 

Due to the time restraint, the committee agreed to hear all public comments prior to recessing the hearing to another date.  The public was sworn in by the court reporter. There were approximately 60 speakers: 20 proponents and 40 opponents. In addition, there were numerous cards submitted from individuals that did not wish to speak; however, wanted opinions acknowledged.

 

Each party will have their remaining time from the original presentation added to their closing arguments.

 

There being no further business, the meeting was recessed at 12:27a.m., and will reconvene on Monday, May 9, 2016. Meeting will be held in Council Chamber.
