Mr. Weinstein explained that there were a lot of very vocal people at the meeting and <br />not everybody got a chance to verbalize their thought. He added that it is possible there <br />were people who did not come across with their positive comments. <br />Commissioner Ritter stated that the developers also had their own meetings to educate <br />some people on the project. He pointed out that staff's job is to gather information on all <br />sides. <br />Chair Allen stated that the meeting was productive. She commented that as <br />challenging as the meeting was and as negative as the comments were, she felt that no <br />one was mad at anyone, that the people felt this was part of the public process and that <br />they were being heard by the members. She congratulated staff for presenting the <br />information objectively and for listening. <br />Mr. Weinstein made it clear that staff is not promoting the Plan one way or the other. <br />He noted that staff is at the meetings to get people's thought on the Plan. <br />Beekeeping <br />Commissioner Balch asked staff how many beekeeping applications have been filed. <br />Mr. Weinstein announced that staff has received two official beekeeping applications, <br />and the first application was submitted was by Mr. Jack Balch. He added that <br />Mr. Balch's application was very well put together. <br />Commissioner Balch noted that staff was excellent in helping with the application. He <br />complimented and thanked Ms. Natalie Amos, who gave him the list of what he needed <br />to do and go through, as she did with Mr. Brown, the second applicant. He indicated <br />that he should be receiving his approval within 15 days. <br />Chair Allen thanked staff for the update and congratulated Commissioner Balch. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Chair Allen adjourned the Planning Commission meeting at 7:24 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Adam Weinstein <br />Secretary <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 22, 2015 Page 8 of 8 <br />
