He said he wanted to give guidelines to staff and applicants on length of presentations in order to prevent extended meetings which he said is not in keeping with public participation and the Sunshine Ordinance. Board Member Zuppan pointed out several areas for emphasis, clarification, or correction. There were no public speakers. Board Member Zuppan said she is supportive of the three minute limit for speakers. She said the ten minute limit for staff presentations should be aspirational, but be able to go beyond for large, important projects. Board Member Mitchell said he is in favor of the change to three minutes per speaker. Board Member Köster said there was confusion about how the dialogue works for items labeled public workshops. President Knox White explained that going forward items would be specified as "Planning Board Workshops" and that traditional public workshops are not held in Council Chambers during a Planning Board meeting. Board Member Burton said he was comfortable with the ten minute presentation limit. Board Member Henneberry said he supports the three minute limit for public comment and making the presentation limit of ten minutes aspirational. No action was taken.
