want to bring the board together in person um at some point you know so we're putting it off maybe a month maybe a bit more but uh not not for good and if I can just add to that um you know a lot of things that we were going to cover uh if you still have questions about them you know please reach out I'm happy to set up a in-person meeting or a zoom meeting or anything like that if you want more information on you know how to access the case files online or a question about the municipal land use law or a board hearing um and you know I'd be I'm sure the chair would be happy to join any sort

Taylor raise his hand so I'll consider that a second um all uh all in favor please say I I I you oppose I assume the rest will abstain and [Music] um uh so the next uh the next item on the agenda is a matter uh from which I am recused so I will hand the virtual gavel over to Mr odonnal and wait to be punted to the attendees room along with a few other board members all right all right it was just Louise and Julie correct and PIV as well I don't believe there's anyone else but if you're conflicted with lwin uh I don't believe it's anyone else in attendance okay thank you all right this is a continuation of the application hearing for lwi development uh being carried from the meeting of December 6 2023 this is a preliminary and final major subdivision and site plan located at 725 and 823 hering toown Road and 9115 Mount Lucas Road that's blocks one1 Lots one 12 and 14 the file number is p1818 d648 SPF and our deadline for this is has been extended to March 30th there will be no hearing tonight uh Jerry first of all we have yeah we have jurisdiction we had taken jurisdiction quite some time ago and we've either had hearings or we've cared it to date certain which we did last time in December to this date um but there's an an issue uh that only de can resolve that hasn't been done yet we don't and we can't go ahead until it is we don't know when that's going to be so what I'm going to suggest is we now carry this I we had to assume jurisdic continue jurisdiction tonight because we had said we would at the December hearing but we're gonna I suggest we continue it without date and have lwin Reen notice when we finally do get a date all right so then uh as stated there will be no hearing on the landwin development tonight uh and uh if any of our professional staff have anything to add to that if you have any information we will uh close this portion of the meeting and ask Miss Wilson to come back okay seeing nothing uh Curry can you bring Louise pie and Julie back hello thank you hey Trav is yours Madam chair okay um next up we have um a um closed session or executive session um discussion on the agenda this is um really a a briefing um from our Council and for that we need to give an the topic of pending litigation um go into a private um meeting so with that um I'll ask the folks who are here as attendees who are um not members of the board or staff to please leave the meeting just uh you know click on leave and then click on leave again um and if you if you don't um one of our staff will terminate the connection in the next minute or two I still see two folks who are attending now just one and I'll wait for the person labeled Lewis to leave the meeting so that person oh there he goes he or she or they um okay so we are um just the board and staff right now all um still recording Madam chair I will stop the recording now I believe we need a vote thank you a vote as well to go into closed session then that's right I'm sorry and you know we probably should have done that before I asked everyone else to leave but um so is there a motion to convene an executive session discuss pending litigation so moved discuss litigation so moved uh moved by Mr Cohen seconded by Mr Taylor all in favor please say I I I any opposed okay at the outset I just want to say if there's anybody who sign this this is a
