in the meeting as an accommodation to the public.
ITEMS
TO BE DECIDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY:
These
Items identified with a symbol (ž) on the agenda are regular
items which are recommended for approval or continuance by staff with the
applicant's consent concerning conditions of approval, when the applicant has

Commission or public indicates a desire to comment or ask questions about the
item. These items regardless of their
agenda assigned number will be acted upon by the Commission in one motion at
the beginning of the meeting.
Applicants having items so listed need not speak unless
they disagree with the staff recommendation or wish to comment. If an Item requires discussion, it will be
heard in the numerical order listed on the agenda.
