applicant/representative to summarize the extensive packet of material they had submitted, and the Board has received. Per the City’s Ordinance, this is an opportunity for the appellant and the applicant to identify what they assert to have been mistakes or errors on the part of the Board in reaching its prior decision. He explained that it is not the purpose of going back to square one, but that the question before them is their assertion that the Board had made an error - a question of the process on rather it was appropriately carried out. Prior to the beginning of tonight’s meeting he spoke with the applicant’s attorney who will make a summary to the Board. The issue is whether they can persuade the Board that a mistake in the process was made. He noted that at the conclusion of the presentation the Board will take the matter under submission and they will rule on it in writing at a later date. Mr. Dan Peters, Attorney, SmithAmundsen, addressed the Board, he echoes Mr. O’Keefe’s comments, they are not here to re-present their application. This is a step that is required and that they have a right of judicial review of the decision as discussed with Mr. O’Keefe. He is here tonight to ask the Board to reconsider its decision, they have set forth the reasons extensively in their letter of appeal, but he wanted to emphasize a couple of points.
