Welcome!  Your attendance and participation in tonight’s hearing is important and ensures a comprehensive scope of review.  It is because of the significance of this proceeding that everyone understands the hearing procedure.

 

Each item appearing on the agenda will be considered by the Shawnee County Planning Commission in the following manner:

2.      Chairperson will then call for presentation by applicant followed by questions from the Commission.

 

3.      Chairperson will then call for public comments in the following order:

q      Comments of those speaking in favor

      Each speaker must come to the podium and state your name and address for the record.  The Chairperson reserves the right to establish a time limit for all speakers to afford everyone the opportunity to speak and in consideration of other items appearing on the agenda.  At the conclusion of each speaker’s comments, the Commission will have the opportunity to ask questions. The applicant will be given the opportunity for rebuttal and make concluding comments.  The Chairperson reserves the right to allow additional testimony from proponents and opponents after all initial comments are made.

Each item appearing on the agenda represents a potential change in the manner in which land may be used or developed.  Significant to this process is public comment, which affords the Commission with information essential for making a determination.  Your cooperation and attention to the above noted hearing procedure will ensure an orderly meeting and afford an opportunity for all to participate.  Please Be Respectful!  Each person’s testimony is important regardless of his or her position.  All questions and comments shall be directed to the Chairperson from the podium and not to the applicant, staff or audience.
