Both of these items related to Sundial Subdivision and begin with the staff report. Lucas: Thank you, Chairman Rohm, Commissioners. I think before I begin on an official presentation I should describe a little bit of what happened today. After doing some research -- further search into the project it became clear that maybe some documents that should have been looked at early on in the process were not looked at and these documents -- usually staff will do a search of documents that relate to previously approved annexations, development agreements, and things like that, but early on in my search for those documents they weren't available and I wasn't able to find them, but today after doing a deeper search a couple things came up, including a development agreement that relates to the original Turtle Creek annexation that was back from 1994. One of the reasons I didn't find it was it was from 1994 and that's an older document that's, actually, in the basement of this building, but I did find it today. It contains some information that would affect staff's recommendation on this project. It talks about some things that relate to the project. I don't want to go into too much detail. One of the reasons is that the applicant has informed me after I told him about this today, they just found out tonight at the hearing. I gave them a copy of these documents and they would like some time to look at them, obviously, and process that information and staff would also like some time to process that information and include it in a more detailed staff report, so that all of the information in the staff report is clear and that any previous approvals or conditions that were placed upon that property are included in the staff report. I don't know how much -- basically, what I'm saying is the applicant is going to get up and request continuance, so I kind of want to let them have a chance to explain the situation also and make that request without doing a detailed presentation on the project.
