He further stated that on April 19th a letter also was sent by Planning to Vista Properties notifying them of the public hearing and transmitting to them a copy of the agenda item before the Board. Chairman Scurlock asked if we have any kind of receipt indicating the letter was received, and Planner Nearing stated the letter they sent did not normally call for a return receipt. The Chairman asked Attorney Vitunac if it would be reasonable to assume that knowledge of the public hearing is evidenced by the fact that Mr. O'Haire and his people are here. Attorney Vitunac confirmed that it would to a point. He would have had to have reasonable notice; in other words, a 30 day notice so that he would have had time to prepare. Attorney Vitunac asked the Clerk to the Board if their office actually did mail that letter. Deputy Clerk Hargreaves confirmed that the required letter of notice was put in the mail by the staff of the Office of Clerk to the Board, and Attorney Vitunac noted that the law says that once we put it in the mail, we have effected our notice and the publication in the paper is the additional back-up notice. Attorney O'Haire submitted for the record an affidavit to the Clerk bearing a copy of the letter dated April 19th and a copy of the envelope which was mailed bearing postmark of April 21st, and he asked that the record show that today is the 26th. The letter was received according to the affidavit on the 22nd. The 23rd was a Saturday - the 24th was a Sunday; so, there has been only one working day of notice. Said affidavit is as follows: 38 APR 261988 BOOK 72 u u 197
