4. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA Ms. Decker noted that very late in the day, staff received two emails regarding Item 6.a., PUD-74, Ponderosa Homes, requesting that the item be continued to a future date. She stated that due to short notice, staff was unable to convey this request to the applicant prior to the hearing. She noted that one email was from Ms. Nancy Allen and the other was from Ms. Jereen Gilbert. Ms. Decker added that the Commissioner’s Handbook stated that a vote of a majority of the Commission would be required to consider the request. Chair Blank noted that although a majority is required to continue a request by a member of the community, the Planning Commission has had a tradition of granting a request of continuance by a member of the public. He noted that while this has been the Commission’s practice, it was not required that the request be granted. He requested comments from the Commissioners as to their pleasure. Commissioner Fox noted that she believed some of the neighborhood had not been noticed. She added that she had been contacted by a resident of the Ironwood development with questions about the development. She noted that she had tried to obtain information from the Ponderosa sales office, only to discover that it was closed for the weekend. Commissioner Fox moved to continue Item 6.a. to the next available date and that the neighbors along Santa Rita and Valley Avenue be notified of the hearing. Chair Blank seconded the motion in order to enter discussion. Commissioner Narum noted that she would support the motion as long as this item would be continued to the July 16, 2008 Planning Commission meeting. She stated that she did not believe it was fair to the applicant and that the applicant had followed the process and gone through a workshop so the item could be heard. In response to an inquiry by Chair Blank regarding whether there was any issue affecting the hearing on July 16, Ms. Decker replied that the Planning Commission meeting dates were July 9 and July 23, 2008. Commissioner Narum stated that she would like the item heard on July 9, 2008. Commissioner Narum amended the motion to state that the continued item be heard on July 9, 2008. The amendment was acceptable to Commissioner Fox and Chair Blank. Commissioner Pearce noted that according to the emails, one of the people in question could not attend the meeting on the second week of July. She noted that if this item were to be continued based on these concerns, it would be an empty continuance because it did not mollify the concerns.
