During the public hearing for the Morgan Creek cluster subdivision, the examiner outlines the procedures for providing public testimony, requiring participants to limit oral remarks to three minutes and focus strictly on established land-use approval criteria. Several community members then offer public comment regarding the development's potential impacts on local rural character, wildlife, and the Morgan Creek riparian zone. To accommodate further input, the examiner announces that the record will remain open for an additional week to allow residents to submit written public comments before the applicant's final rebuttal.

What was said
43:00 And that's what makes these projects so I know so complicated to design and evaluate, but that's that has happened I see this as a very old application started it was first submitted in 2024 so it's been sitting on the shelf for quite a while. Correct. Yes, we, you know, I've been working with the applicant quite a while, getting this this mitigation plan approved, so it's, it has been going on quite a while. Okay. Yeah. All right, thank you. I think with that we're ready to go and hear the applicants primary presentation. So is Mr. Avery here for the is that he's the person on this one. Yeah, Chris Avery was. Okay, take it away Mr Avery when you're ready. Yeah, good evening Mr examiner, Chris Avery with Mr glacier serving here.
43:59 I'm going to interrupt you guys for a second I'm going to start the timer for 20 minutes. We do in post pandemic area we have timers, the applicant had their primary presentation we're going to limit it to 20 minutes. Usually I mean, that's, we don't come close to that, because the application is already documented in the record. And for public testimony, each person will get what is it Richard three minutes or five minutes three minutes, three minutes, which I would again reiterate, if you have, if you already have a letter if you're a member of the public and you submitted written comments, you can assume if I haven't already read it, I will. And so, I asked you not to read your, your comments you can hit the high points.
44:45 And if you don't have something submitted already submitted written comments are kind of a permanent record that I can then use when I sit down to write the opinion so 20 minutes for the applicant three minutes for each member of the public. Mr Avery, go ahead. I just verify that you guys can all hear me. Yes. Okay, good. Well, I'm not gonna take anywhere close to 20 minutes. verified that our most recent proposed development plan and mitigation plans are included as exhibits 32 and 62 in the record. I've got nothing further to add. We're satisfied with the staff report and the discussion that's gone on. And some side of the staff court as it has been modified by the subsequent exhibits that Marion mentioned in the exhibit 76 through 86 night. That's all I got.
45:44 I think the only change that I saw that you suggested was to the wildland urban interface issue otherwise you're satisfied with the findings. Correct. Yeah. And then also, we will modify the lot line on lot one around the northwest corner of the garage to meet the 30 foot set back there. Okay.
