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.

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. The Board and Mr. Conner
removed themselves from the public meeting.
Following a brief pause, the Board re-entered and resumed the public meeting.
