Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 09, 2020 <br />Page 16 of 17 <br /> <br />Moline discloses that he is an employee of Boulder County Parks and Open Space <br />Department. They provided referral comments but he was not involved in that. He does <br />not believe this will affect his voting. <br /> <br />Rice says that this agenda item will be a long discussion and believes that should be <br />continued to a later date in order to have fresh eyes on it after the many long meetings <br />the commissioners have had recently. From the earlier discussion on this subject, he <br />proposes that this agenda item be moved until city council has had a chance to review <br />the Redtail Ridge development and the GDP has been considered by city council. <br /> <br />Howe wants to make a motion to continue this agenda item. He is concerned that they <br />would be voting on something that is not in alignment with the comprehensive plan. <br /> <br />Jim Driessen, Vice President of Medtronic Global Facilities Organization, says that he <br />understands approval would be conditional upon the GDP but Medtronic is very anxious <br />to share their proposal and would like to have this reviewed as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that staff is prepared to move forward with this proposal tonight, but it is up <br />to the commissioner’s discretion. There are two agenda items that have been noticed <br />for the July 16, 2020 planning commission meeting. Staff does anticipate that the <br />agenda for the August 13, 2020 meeting will not be very full. <br /> <br />Howe moves and Williams seconds a motion to continue this agenda item until there is <br />a GDP that supports this proposal. <br /> <br />Motion passes 6-1 by a roll call vote. <br />Name Vote <br />Chair Steve Brauneis Yes <br />Vice Chair Tom Rice No <br />Keaton Howe Yes <br />Ben Diehl Yes <br />Jeff Moline Yes <br />Dietrich Hoefner Yes <br />Debra Williams Yes <br /> <br />Motion passed/failed: Passed <br /> <br />Rice asks for staff to estimate when planning commission could be reviewing this <br />agenda item. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that staff would notice this agenda item for the August 13, 2020 planning <br />commission meeting, but if the Redtail Ridge proposal is still under discussion for city <br />council, planning commission would continue this item for a later date. <br /> <br />Rice thanks Medtronic for their patience during this process. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />Howe mentions that it has been difficult to read public comment when it has been <br />submitted the same day as the planning commission meeting. He asks staff if it is <br />possible to adopt a policy that would allow a cut off time for receivable public comment. <br />
