Mr. Dolan pointed out that it is not just the scheduling conflicts that prohibit staff from committing but also the quantity and complexity of information requested and the desire for internal review of how staff responds. Chair Blank stated that he would like the item to be heard before November. Mr. Dolan stated that all staff can commit to at this time is its best efforts to bring it back to the Commission and noted that he has told Mr. Pfund and Mr. Balch the same thing. Chair Blank expressed concern that if the perception is that this will not be heard until November, then everyone would shoot for that November date, as opposed to getting the information as rapidly as possible and then perhaps getting the opportunity to schedule a special hearing just for this item, given the appropriate notice. He indicated that he was looking for some way to show good faith effort on everyone's part. Mr. Dolan stated that he would be happy to explore interim special meeting dates when staff is ready with its responses. Commissioner Narum agreed with Chair Blank and expressed concern that this project does not experience anever-ending list of questions. She inquired if there is a cut-off date to ask questions so staff can get the answers to the questions and move forward. Mr. Dolan replied that he does not have the ability to stop accepting questions submitted to staff but that he could stop answering them. Commissioner Pearce stated that she is aware that staff is making its best efforts but that she finds it really disappointing that this item cannot come to a decision. She added that she has been on the Planning Commission for a few years now and that she has never heard an item, after having a hearing and then being rescheduled, to have over 100 supplemental questions. She indicated that she finds this punitive and that she hopes the Commission can get this heard as soon as possible and move it on its way. 5. CONSENT CALENDAR a.
