The audience was polled with the following individuals addressing the variances as requested: Donn Anderson Terry McDevitt Mark Steuart Tim Sullivan Phyllis Freemann Cheryl Harris Gary Johnson The public hearing has been recorded, is available to the public and has been incorporated as an official part of the minutes; therefore, the secretary has chosen not to summarize each person’s specific comments in the written minutes.

A letter signed by Duane Rolings (question spelling), Neal and Shirley Ramberg, Charles and Kathleen Brasel and Betty Seiple in support of the proposed development was read for the record. Letters from Gary Johnson, The Barnick's (Pocahontas Resort) and Michael Weismiller in opposition to the variances as requested were read for the record.

Mike Harris, former owner of Northern Lights Resort and a current member of the Board of Adjustment addressed each variance requested before excusing himself from the balance of this hearing. Because this public hearing has been recorded, is available to the public and has been incorporated as an official part of the minutes, the secretary has chosen not to summarize Mr. Harris’s remarks in the written minutes.
