Subject: Participation in Meeting; Response
Dear Messrs. Scalf and Berteig:
I have received an electronic copy but not a hard copy of the staff report. I realize that it has been mailed and that
its timing falls to the moving date of DCD to other quarters. I also have been informed that several document
requests I have made with a view to their inclusion in the log for the Major Revision will not be addressed until
after the move. You have assured me of their inclusion. I have made other requests since then and wish,
likewise, that such documents be included in such log. I want to comment about the staff report. It is voluminous
and cites various authority that will take time for the interested parties, including me, to consider and develop
responses. Considering that the staff report is as comprehensive a change as the initial adoption of the MPR, I
believe that the public will not be served without additional time to analyze the report and develop a response.
That is particularly the case where there is a holiday in the period between the staff report and the hearing and
where DCD is unable to respond to document or log requests needed to analyze the report. I think a due process
issue is raised by the short hearing period.
I realize that the hearing has been called. I also realize that the proponent is urging that the hearing be held
promptly. However, under these unique circumstances, considering the scope of the issues, the amount of time
to respond, the length and complexity fo the staff report, and the logistics problems created by DCD's move, I
urge that the record be opened for a significant amount of time after the hearing for additional lot filings and
comment and that an additional day of hearings be scheduled thereafter to consider the proposal in light of those
filings.
Finally, I asked for confirmation that some of us who are away be permitted to participate by filing responses and
be included in those who have the right to pursue further appeal. I know I am not alone in this need. Previously I
have requested and have been granted this right. The issue now affects several others, including Messrs. Hale
and Jordshaugen. I respectfully request your confirmation that our submissions will be considered as direct
participation in the proceeding and that our names be added as interested parties thereto with appeal rights.
Your assistance on this matter is appreciated.
Les Powers
