OCT 2 41979 BOOK 1 Mr 1 ry 2 CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD THE APPLICANT BEAR THE COST OF PREPARING -THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT A FORM CAN BE PREPARED AND THEN HE CAN CHECK IT WHEN IT IS COMPLETED. COMMISSIONER.SIEBERT DISCUSSED THE LENGTH OF THE PROCESS AND ASKED IF IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THE INFORMATION 25 DAYS BEFORE IT CAN BE PUT ON THE -AGENDA. MR. MARSH NOTED THAT ALL THE DIFFERENT REVIEWING AGENCIES, SOUTHERN BELL, ETC,, NEED AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE 25 DAYS IS THE TIME FROM THE DATE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECEIVES -- THE PETITION, PUTS ITS THROUGH THE REVIEW AGENCIES, MAKES COMMENTS, AND.GETS IT TO. THE ADMINISTRATOR. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD ESTABLISH HOW LONG AFTER THAT IT GETS ON THE AGENDA. THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR WAS OF THE OPINION THAT.ONCE THE ADMINISTRATOR IS IN RECEIPT OF THIS MATERIAL, IT SHOULD BE PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING IF ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED WHETHER AN ABANDONMENT WILL BE AD- VERTISED FOR HEARING BEFORE IT COMES TO THE BOARD OR WHETHER IT WILL BE UP TO THE BOARD TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO ADVERTISE. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT IT IS UP TO THE BOARD TO SET A POLICY. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE ADMINISTRA- TOR SHOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO SAY WHEN IT IS READY FOR ADVERTISEMENT AND THAT WE WOULD WASTE TIME GOING THROUGH THESE MATTERS TWICE SINCE WE ALMOST ALWAYS GIVE PEOPLE A PUBLIC HEARING IN ANY EVENT. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE APPLICANT TO BE HEARD BY THE BOARD IF THE RECOMMENDATION IS AGAINST ABANDONMENT, AND MR. NELSON STATED THAT THEY CAN RECOMMEND AGAINST ABANDONMENT AND STILL GO TO A PUBLIC HEARING. HE DID NOT FEEL THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DENY A PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THE ADMINISTRATOR DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY RIGHT NOW TO SET UP PUBLIC HEARINGS, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IN THE PAST IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE BOARD FIRST, BUT HE WOULD FEEL IF EVERYTHING IS REVIEWED AS PROPOSED, THE ADMINISTRATOR COULD AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENTS AND JUST BRING THE MATTER BEFORE THE BOARD THE ONE TIME.
