[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
THE FIRST IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST OF DUNCAN AND SUZANNE FUNG TO OPERATE A PLANNING IN THE ASSEMBLY HALL WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURE ZONING DISTRICT.>> GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIRMAN AGAIN.
MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, MR. WINTON.
MR. ANDRE GREENE IS ILL TODAY SO I WILL BE PRESENTING FOR HIM.
THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS BEHIND TAB 5 IN YOUR BOOK.
AS YOU MAY RECALL, THIS SPECIAL EXCEPTION WAS HEARD AT YOUR MEETING LAST MONTH, SO WE WILL DO A REVIEW OF THE CASE.
THERE WERE SEVERAL QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP AND THEY HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE APPLICANT FOR YOUR REVIEW AND WANTED TO GO THROUGH A FEW OF THOSE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE AND GO THROUGH THE CASE BRIEFLY AGAIN FOR YOU FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING.
AGAIN, THIS IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR AN ASSEMBLY HALL OR WEDDING VENUE WITHIN THE RA RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT.
THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THE 9501 LAKE FUNGS ROAD ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY.
[NOISE] AGAIN, THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF OUR GIS MAPS WITH LAKE FUNGS ROAD SHOWN IN THE PARCEL HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.
THIS IS THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP THAT SHOWS THAT IT IS IN THE RA DISTRICT AND AGAIN, THE PARCEL WAS HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE BLUE LINE.
THIS IS THE AERIAL VIEW SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF THE BUFFERING AND THE TREES AND THE PASTURE LAND IN THE AREA.
THE BACKGROUND, THE APPLICANTS BUILT A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING ON THEIR PROPERTY AND HAVE APPROXIMATELY 5,700 SQUARE FEET THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO USE THIS STRUCTURE AS THE WEDDING VENUE.
[00:10:04]
THIS IS THE REQUEST SUMMARY YOU CAN FIND IN YOUR PACKET.SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS CHANGING THE VENUE ENTRANCE FROM THE PRIVATE ROAD OFF OF GOLF COURSE DRIVE TO THE LAKE FUNGS PRIVATE ROAD, WHICH IS LOCATED OFF OF ROBIN ROAD, AND THE APPLICANT HAS MADE THAT CHANGE.
THESE ARE SOME PHOTOS, AGAIN, OF THE STRUCTURE IN THE AREA AND SOME OF THE INTERIOR FINISHES THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
WE WENT THROUGH ALL THE COMMENTS FROM ALL THE AGENCIES AT YOUR LAST PUBLIC HEARING.
THEY'RE SUMMARIZED FOR YOU HERE AGAIN.
AGAIN, THE INSPECTIONS DIVISION'S COMMENTS AS WELL AS VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.
THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT THIS TIME BUT ALSO AS THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, THEY'LL HAVE TO GET THE OTHER APPROVALS OF ALL AGENCIES AS WELL AS THERE WILL BE A REVIEW OF THE CHANGE OF USE PLANS.
THIS SLIDE HERE SHOWS SOME OF THE CHANGES THE APPLICANT MADE TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF NOISE AND THE ACCESS.
AS WE MENTIONED, THE ACCESS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THE ROBIN ROAD ENTRANCE AND DOWN THE APPLICANT'S PRIVATE ROAD, LAKE FUNGS DRIVE.
ALSO, THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED THAT HE WILL GATE AND PUT SIGNAGE AT THE GOLF COURSE DRIVE AREA OF ACCESS TO HIS PROPERTY.
THEY ARE ALSO LIMITING THE EVENTS TO NO MORE THAN FOUR EVENTS HELD PER MONTH.
AS WELL OF PROVIDING OFF-STREET PARKING TO LOOK AT ANY DISTURBANCE IN THE AREA AS WELL AS SAFETY ON THE ROAD.
AGAIN, THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WITH THE CONDITIONS IS APPROVAL GIVEN THAT THE CONCERNS RAISED HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH THE ACCESS FROM THE NEW SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS THE REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF EVENTS AND THE FACT THAT HE IS GOING TO GATE AND SIGNAGE THE GOLF ROAD ACCESS DURING EVENTS.
I'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE REVISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE APPLICANT'S CASE.
THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL AND AGAIN, TONIGHT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IF IT PLEASES THE COMMISSION, WE CAN HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF OR THE APPLICANT, WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE EITHER BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING OR AFTER.
I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME BEFORE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
YOU'VE MENTIONED FOUR EVENTS PER?
>> IS THERE ANY TIME INTERVAL OR ANY INTERVAL BETWEEN THE AFFAIRS TO BE HELD OR THEY-ALL CAN BE HELD IN ONE WEEK? THIS IS A WILD QUESTION.
>> I THINK THE WAY THE WEDDING VENUE IS GEARED IS FOR WEEKEND ACTIVITIES BUT HE IS BOUND BY THE NOISE ORDINANCE AS WELL.
SO THERE IS A TIME IN THE EVENING THAT HE STOPS BY 10:00 PM ON THE NIGHT OF EVENT, NO NOISE AFTER THAT.
BUT I BELIEVE THEIR BUSINESS PLAN IS TYPICALLY ON WEEKENDS.
BUT YES, IT IS OPEN, IT COULD BE FOUR IN A WEEK BUT IT MUST BE FOUR IN A MONTH.
>> THIS CONDITION NUMBER 1 ON THOSE EIGHT HOURS OF OPERATION AT THE ASSEMBLY HALL SHALL BE MONDAY THROUGH [OVERLAPPING] SATURDAY FROM NOON UNTIL 10:00 PM?
[00:15:01]
>> IT COULD BE ANY OF THOSE DAYS.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW.
>> GO FROM THERE. THIS BEING A PUBLIC HEARING, I HEREBY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS, AND LIMIT YOUR TIME TO THREE MINUTES.
>> BRIAN HAYES. LIVE AT 9005 GOLF COURSE DRIVE.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME THIS EVENING.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THERE.
WHAT IS THE RULE AND AS FAR AS ANY VENUES COMING DOWN THAT DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE? HAS THAT BEEN RULED LAST TIME THAT THEY CAN'T USE THAT DRIVEWAY FOR VENUE FOR GUESTS?
>> IT HAS BEEN CHANGED THAT HE'S GOING TO GATE THAT OFF AND IF ANYBODY TRIES TO COME THROUGH THERE, HE'S GOING TO HAVE A SIGN TELLING HIM TO GO TO ROBIN ROAD.
>> OKAY. SO THERE'S STILL A POTENTIAL FOR TRAFFIC BECAUSE I GOT TO GO 500 YARDS TO GET TO THAT GATE, 500, 600 YARDS BACK ON THE PROPERTY.
SO THEY'D ALREADY PASSED ALL OF US TO GET BACK TO SEE THE GATE CLOSED.
ANOTHER QUESTION I GOT, I READ AROUND THERE, LOOKED AT HIS MAILBOX AT LAKE FUNGS ROAD, EVERYTHING SAYS 9501. I TOOK PICTURES OF IT.
HE'S PUTTING 9099 ON THAT MAILBOX, WHICH IS THE SAME ADDRESS ON THE MAILBOX IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
SO WHICH IS IT? DOES 9099 GOLF COURSE DRIVE NO LONGER EXIST AT THE POST OFFICE?
>> MR. FUNG, YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THAT ONE.
>> I GOOGLE BOTH ADDRESSES AND IF YOU DO A MAP OF IT, IT SHOWS THE LAKE, IT SHOWS HIS HOUSE IN THE FIELD, AND THAT'S WHERE THE FLAGS LAND ON HIS HOUSE.
THE VENUES AT THE OTHER END OF THE LAKE RIGHT ADJACENT TO READ DRIVE, NOTHING ADDS UP.
IT JUST DOESN'T ADD UP, THE ADDRESSES DON'T ADD UP.
WHAT IS THE PENALTY IF 300 CARS DO COME PAST THE DRIVEWAY TO GO TO THE VENUE? IS THERE ANY REPERCUSSIONS FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES OR NOT DOING WHICH YOU ALL TELL THEM TO DO OR WHERE'S THE TEETH IN IT? IS IT A $100 FINE OR WHAT'S THE RULE FOR BREAKING THE RULE? THAT'S ALL. I DON'T CARE THAT IT HAS A VENUE, THAT'S FINE.
I'M OKAY WITH THAT AND I WANT TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
MY CONCERN WAS LIKE LAST TIME BECAUSE, I DON'T WANT COMING BY MY HOUSE WITH 300 CARS A WEEK.
I GOT CHILDREN AND ANIMALS RUNNING AROUND AND WE MOVED TO THE COUNTRY FOR COUNTRY LIVING.
IF I WANTED TO LIVE IN HOPEWELL, I'D GO LIVE IN HOPEWELL AND LISTEN TO THE TRAFFIC.
BUT WE BOUGHT ALL THAT PROPERTY OUT THERE SO WE COULD HAVE A PEACEFUL COUNTRY LIVING AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A WHOLE LOT OF SHENANIGANS GOING ON HERE AND AS LONG AS 9099 GOLF COURSE DRIVE DOES NOT EXIST, I'M OKAY WITH IT.
HE CAN CALL IT WHATEVER HE WANTS HIS ROAD OVER THERE BUT IF MAILBOXES COMING TO HIS PLACE IS 9433, 9445, AND THEN 9099, DON'T ADD UP.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THAT BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU-ALL LOOKING INTO IT AND ONCE AGAIN, UNTIL THAT GETS RESOLVED, I WOULD ASK YOU TO VOTE NO AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> THANK YOU. WE'LL ADDRESS ALL OF YOUR CONCERNS.
DOES ANYONE ELSE WISH TO SPEAK? YES, MA'AM.
I LIVE AT 9380 ROBIN ROAD [NOISE] AND LAKE FUNGS ROAD RUNS THE DISTANCE OF MY PROPERTY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF TAX PARCEL NUMBER 5.
I WAS SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, AS THE GENTLEMAN JUST STATED.
I MOVED DOWN FOR PEACE AND QUIET TO GET AWAY FROM TRAFFIC.
THIS IS SOMEWHAT CONCERNING TO ME FOR THAT AMOUNT OF VEHICLES TO BE TRAVERSING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD THERE.
MY DOGS GET VERY UPSET AND EXCITED WHEN THERE WERE TRAFFIC DOES GO DOWN THAT ROAD.
I'M ALSO HAVING SOME CONCERNS ABOUT, IT'S A GRAVEL ROAD AND DURING THE DRY,
[00:20:01]
HOT SUMMER MONTHS IT WILL PRODUCE DIRT DUST.THAT'S A CONCERN OF MINE AS WELL.
>> YOU LIVE ON THE GOLF COURSE DRIVE ROAD, OR BESIDE THE LAKE FUNG ROAD?
>> BESIDE LAKE FUNGS ON ROBIN.
>> YES. IT GOES A 100 PLUS FEET ALONG THE SIDE OF MY, IT'S THE ENTIRE LINE.
>> YES, MA'AM. ANYBODY WANT TO ASK QUESTION? [NOISE] THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE? MR. FUNK, YOU CAN COME ON AND ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE.
YEAH. I ANSWERED THE FIRST QUESTION FIRST ABOUT THE ADDRESS.
THE ADDRESS HAVE BEEN CHANGED.
NO LONGER NICE NO 99, NO LONGER EXISTS.
ALL THE GOOGLE MAP, EVERYTHING ALSO BEING CHANGED.
THE P.O BOX, THEY PUT IT IN THERE, THAT WAS WAY WAY BEFORE THAT WINDOW CONSTRUCTION BEING DONE.
THERE'S A BOX ON THE STREET THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT A BOX, MAIL BOX ON THE STREET, THAT COULD BE REMOVED.
THAT WILL BE REMOVED, BUT AGAIN, GOOGLE MAP, EVERYTHING WILL GUIDE THROUGH LAKE FUNGS ROAD.
>> IS THAT MAILBOX, IT'S ON GOLF COURSE DRIVE.
IS NOT ON, THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE REMOVED IF THERE'S NO ADDRESS THERE, RIGHT?
>> CORRECT. YEAH. THAT BOX HAVE BEEN PUT IN THERE SINCE COMPLETION, BECAUSE THAT WAS BUILT FOR MY SON, BUT THAT WILL BE REMOVED, THE BOX.
>> THE GATE THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, PUTTING A GATE OFF A GOLF COURSE DRIVE, IT IS NOT, THE GATE CAN'T BE PUT RIGHT ON GOLF COURSE DRIVE, CORRECT?
>> WHAT HE WAS ADDRESSING, THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT'S WHAT? FIVE, 600 FEET OFF THE ROAD.
IF YOU PUT A SIGN THERE THAT SAYS, DO NOT ENTER, PEOPLE CAN STILL DRIVE IN THERE TO GET TO THE GATE.
>> THAT'S COUPLE OF SOLUTIONS.
FIRST, THE ADDRESS IS BEING CHANGED.
WHEREVER THEY'RE 10 FOR WEDDING, THEY HAVE TO PLAN AHEAD, I MEAN THE ADDRESS WILL BE STATED ON THE INVITATION, THEN ALL THE INVITATION WILL SHOW OUR NEW ADDRESS, OF COURSE TO THE LAKE FUNGS ROAD.
GOOGLE CANNOT BRING THEM TO THAT ROAD ANYWAY, BUT I CANNOT STOP ANY OTHER PEOPLE WITHOUT BEING INVITED TO GO THROUGH THAT ROAD.
I CANNOT CONTROL, BUT THE POINT IS, YOU ALREADY HAVE A GATE TO BLOCKING PEOPLE, BUT ALSO WE WILL PUT A SIGN, TEMPORARY SIGN, EVERY TIME HAVE ACTIVITY, WE'LL POSE A TEMPORARY SIGN RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE SO THAT WE'LL TELL THEM RIDE ON GOLF COURSE DRIVE.
A TEMPORARY PORTABLE TYPE OF VOTING, POLITICAL SIGNS, STUFF LIKE THAT FOR A TEMPORARY.
>> MR. FUNK, I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION, JUST FOR COMPLETION, ESPECIALLY ADDRESSED TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CITIZEN HAVE ASKED.
LAST TO MEET HIM. I KNOW THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR.
YOU ORIGINALLY HAD STATED THAT THE PLANS WERE TO CONTINUE USING THE KING DRIVE DURING THE WEEK, AND THAT GATE ON FUNG ROAD WOULD BE OPEN AND USED JUST WHEN THERE WAS AN ACTUAL EVENT.
>> NO. THE GATE WAS WAY BEYOND THE KING'S ROAD. I THINK THEY WOULD HAVE KING ROAD.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A GATE, THE GATE ALREADY EXIST, THERE'S A GATE ALREADY EXIST AND NEVER BLOCK OFF ANY OTHER PEOPLE FROM KING ROAD.
>> WHAT I WAS ADDRESSING [NOISE] TALKED ABOUT LAST MONTH, WAS LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PEOPLE COME DURING THE WEEK, THEY WANT TO COME AND DO A TOUR OR WHATEVER, ORIGINALLY, YOU HAD SAID THAT YOUR STAFF WOULD STILL USE KING DRIVE FOR JUST DAILY OPERATION, BUT THAT ANYTIME THERE WAS A LARGE EVENT, YOU WOULD USE THE LAKE FUNG ENTRANCE I JUST WASN'T CLEAR.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE THE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHANGED.
>> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.
I KNEW IT WAS STATED DIFFERENTLY LAST MONTH.
>> BECAUSE ADDRESS HAS BEEN CHANGED.
NEITHER 99 GOLF COURSE DRIVE NO LONGER EXIST.
WHOEVER COME IN, THEY HAVE TO GO TO THROUGH LAKE FUNGS ROAD.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO USE LAKE FUNG ROAD FOR A ZERO MAIN EVERYDAY ENTRANCE NOW?
[00:25:03]
>> YEAH. PRETTY MUCH FUN OF VENUE. FOR MYSELF?
I HAVE ANOTHER ROAD TO COME IN.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO STEAL OFF A GOLF COURSE ROAD? FOR YOUR EVERYDAY USE?
>> FOR MY PERSONAL USE? YES. SOMETIME I WOULD DO PERSONAL USE, YES.
BECAUSE I AM A LAWYER THAT I STILL HAVE RIGHT TO USE THAT ROAD IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
>> HE HAD EASEMENT TO GO THAT WAY.
>> THE SECOND QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC, LAKE FUNGS ROAD IS TO TWO-WAY ROAD.
PEOPLE WOULD COME IN AND TURN WITHOUT STOPPING BECAUSE IT IS A TWO-WAY ROAD.
ALSO WE PUT A SIGN FOR LIMITED SPEED FOR TEN MILE PER HOUR.
THAT WOULD NOT BACKUP ANY GRAVEL, BECAUSE THE SIGNS ARE UP 10 MILES PER HOUR LIMITED.
I GUESS THAT WILL ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT THE DIRT AND ALSO THE TRAFFIC JAM ISSUE BECAUSE ONLY ONCE A WEEK WHEN THEY STARTED, MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE WHO HAD COME IN AFTER LUNCH OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, FOR CEREMONY AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THEN WE'LL BE LEAVING AFTER THEY'VE BEEN BANNED.
WE'RE TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE CAR, NUMBER OF CARS.
MOST OF THE TIME THAT WE EVEN A PACKING LIMITED 75 CARS, THE MOST, AVERAGE ABOUT 50 CARS.
WE GOT A RULE ABOUT HALF MILE FROM ROBBINS ROAD TO THE VENUE, AND AS TO RAILROAD.
ALL THE CAR SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE ROAD WITHOUT BLOCKING ANYTHING.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTION? THANK YOU.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I MAY TO ADDRESS ONE LAST QUESTION.
CONDITION NUMBER 13, IN YOUR PACKET ON PAGE 4, ADDRESSES A NORMAL CONDITION THAT ANY VIOLATION OF THESE CONDITIONS BY THE APPLICANT.
THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION MAY BE REVOKED.
IF THERE ARE INSTANCES OF NOT COMPLYING BY ANY OF THESE CONDITIONS, WE CAN TAKE ACTION, AND THE ACTION IS THAT THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS REVOKED BY THE COUNTY.
[NOISE] I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
>> THERE BEING NO ONE ELSE, I HEREBY CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMISSIONERS.
[NOISE] HOMEPAGE 2 OF THIS HEARING.
THERE ARE RECOMMENDED MOTIONS, AND WE'LL ACCEPT A MOTION WHEN YOU ALL ARE READY TO HAVE ONE [NOISE].
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I'M MOVING TO FORWARD REQUEST SE22-01 TO THE BOARD WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] RECOMMENDATIONS AND STAFF REPORT, AND REASONS FOR THIS RECORD.
>> JUST DO ONE OF THEM. [LAUGHTER]
>> LAY YOUR DISCRETION WHICH ONE IF YOU WANT. BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THEM OFF.
>> THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING CURRENT SURROUNDED USES.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. AQUOL. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND. MAY I MISS YOUR ORDER. CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU. THIS WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR THEIR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL.
[00:30:15]

>> GETTING IT AGAIN. CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, MR. WINTON, BEHIND TAB D, IN YOUR BOOK, AS WELL AS ACTUAL CHAIR, THIS EVENING IS A COPY OF THE CITING POLICY FOR SOLAR FACILITIES WAS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD LAST YEAR.
IN REVIEWING SOME SOLAR APPLICATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AND GOING THROUGH THE POLICY AND SPEAKING WITH THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE PLANNERS, IT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED IN ORDER FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD TO DO A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THESE APPLICATIONS THAT THE SOURCE CITING POLICY INCORPORATED INTO THE COMP PLAN? [NOISE] EXCUSE ME, THERE'S BEEN NO CHANGES MADE TO THE POLICY.
WE ARE REFERENCING THE POLICY THROUGH A NEW APPENDIX, APPENDIX D, SO THAT IT WILL BE INCORPORATED IN THE COMP PLAN.
IF WE RECALL WITH SOME OF THE SOLAR PROJECTS, THERE'S A COMPANION RESOLUTION THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON.
IT'S CALLED SUBSTANTIAL COURT.
HAVING THE SOLAR SITING POLICY IN YOUR COMP PLAN WILL ASSIST YOU IN MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.
IT ALSO ASSISTS THE APPLICANTS HAVING A CLEAR GUIDE ON WHAT'S EXPECTED OF THEIR APPLICATIONS AND WHAT'S NEEDED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
AT THIS TIME, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THE ENTIRE POLICY WAS PROVIDED TONIGHT AT YOUR CHAIRS.
I APOLOGIZE, WE DID NOT HAVE THAT AT THE WORK SESSION ON MONDAY FOR YOU, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHANGE.
