The Hearing Examiner outlined the rules for sworn public testimony during a hearing for two land use applications. While the first proposal received no public comments, three residents testified regarding the 132nd Avenue subdivision, raising concerns about traffic safety, parking, and the adequacy of the site's public notice signs. In response to the notification concerns, the applicant agreed to leave the written record open for an additional week to accept further public comments, followed by a one-week rebuttal period.
