Zaremba: Mr. Chairman, before I make that motion, I would ask that other
Commissioners -- I found a letter relating to this subdivision in the packet with Item 22.
And if other people found it, then, you don't need to look for it, but it's a letter from Mr.
Lowe, the president of Observation Homeowners Association, and needs to be pulled
out of 22 and put with this stack for us to read later.
Rohm: Good. Thank you. Appreciate you calling that to our attention.

Zaremba: In that case, Mr. Chairman, I move that we continue items AZ 06-015 and PP
06-013, both relating to Tanana Valley Subdivision to our regularly scheduled meeting
of May 4th, 2006.
Rohm: June 1 st?
Zaremba: Oh June 1 st? I'm sorry. Change the motion to our regularly scheduled
meeting of June 1 st, 2006.
Moe: Second.
Rohm: It's been moved and seconded that we continue AZ 06-015 and PP 06-013 to
the regularly scheduled meeting of June 1 st, 2006. All those in favor say aye. Opposed
same sign? Motion carried.
MOTION CARRIED: FOUR AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Rohm: Before we open up the regularly scheduled projects, I'd like to just talk to you
folks a little bit about the procedures that we have at the Planning and Zoning
Commission and how the process works. What we will do is we will open up a project
and we will ask the staff for their comments. Our staff tries to present the project to us
in terms of how it fits the Comprehensive Plan and how it fits ordinance. They're
basically neutral in the project and that's the presentation that we hear first. So,
basically, you, as the audience, will get a -- kind of a feel for what the project is without
any prejudice. After the staff has made their presentation, the applicant, then, has an
opportunity to speak to the project and it's at this time that they try to sell the project to
the Commission, try and speak to its strengths and the value to the community as a
whole. Once we have taken both the staff's presentation and the applicant's, then, at
that point in time we open it up to the public for their testimony. At sometimes there will
be an individual in the audience that will be the president of a homeowners association
or something to that effect that will be speaking for a whole group of people. That
individual will be afforded I believe ten minutes to speak. All those that are speaking
just individually are given three minutes to speak to the project. And once that portion
of the hearing has been completed, then, we ask the applicant to come back up and
respond to any questions that came up during testimony. After that's been completed,
then, hopefully, we will have enough information to be able to render a decision whether
or not we are going to forward an affirmative to City Councilor recommending denial.
So, that's, basically, the process from which we work here.
Rohm: And with that being said, I will open up the first -- yeah, there is more seats up
here in the front if anybody feels so compelled.
Moe: We do not bite.
