This matter is currently scheduled for a hearing on Thursday, January 15, 2026. Due to the present agenda and anticipated testimony and/or comments that remain, Applicant does not expect to be able to complete their case within the amount of time available. Accordingly, we respectfully request that the application be adjourned to the Board’s February 19, 2026 meeting and that it be placed first on the agenda. The Applicant further requests that the matter be carried without the need for additional public notice. Given the extensive and controversial nature of this application, it is important that adequate time be allotted for a complete presentation and for members of the public to ask questions and provide comment. Accordingly, placement first on the agenda is requested to ensure that all comments may be addressed.
