Ms. Philibert called the meeting to order at 12:03 p.m. 1. Emergency Evacuation Procedures Ms. Philibert did not provide emergency evacuation procedures as she stated only staff was present in person. 2. Additions, deletions, or changes in order of agenda items None. 3. Announcements None. 4. Comments and questions from the public not related to the agenda None. 5. Consideration of reopening preliminary and final plat application #SD-21-28 of Beta Air, LLC to consolidate five existing lots ranging from 1.53 to 736.2 acres into one lot of 747.92 acres and to construct the first phase of a new concurrent application for a master plan, to include a 344,000 sf manufacturing and office building, improving approximately 2,400 ft of private road, and constructing associated site improvements, 3070 Williston Road. Ms. Philibert noted that the Board previously closed the public hearings on Master Plan application (#MP-21-02) and Preliminary and Final Plat SD-21-28. In the Board’s deliberations on these two applications, the board identified a need for additional information may be needed to issue a decision on SD-21-28. The only order of business is to vote on and schedule a reopening of the hearing on SD-21-28. Ms. Philibert gave a procedural overview of how this item will be heard. Ms. Philibert made a motion that the Development Review Board reopen Preliminary Plat and Final Plat Application #SD-21-18 for a date to be determined by the Board today. Mr. Kochman noted that the application number stated in the motion was incorrect. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 29 MARCH 2022 PAGE 2 Ms. Philibert then revised her motion that the Development Review Board reopen Preliminary Plat and Final Plat application #SD-21-28 for a date to be determined by the Board today. Mr. Kochman seconded. Mr. Albrecht asked if Mr. Conner could provide any more information. Mr. Conner stated that the DRB issued an approval for MP-21-02 on 3/22/22. As part of the deliberations for that and the SD-21-28 application, the Board felt that there may be additional testimony that is needed to reach a conclusion on the project due to the determination based by the master plan on the arrangement of the site. Mr. Klugo, representing the applicant, thanked the DRB and Staff for the opportunity to reopen the application and work through the additional information the Board feels they need to make a decision on SD-21-28. Mr. Barnes spoke in favor of reopening the hearing and urged the Board to work with the applicant to find a path forward. Ms. Philibert made a motion to enter a Deliberative Session to discuss the application SD- 21-28. Mr. Kochman seconded. The motion was approved 5-0.
