During the meeting, Neil Jackson from LJ Development requested a continuance for the Gravel Pit hearing. He cited significant health issues among the owners, including a heart attack, and the unavailability of their legal team due to COVID-19.

The decision to postpone led to a discussion about possible new dates. The board considered late September and early October but ultimately decided to finalize the date at their next meeting on September 9th. This approach ensures that all parties, including the applicants and their legal counsel, can attend. Additionally, it was noted that noise testing and a detailed title report, which should have been submitted by the current meeting, were still outstanding. This lack of documentation was acknowledged but did not affect the decision to grant the continuance.

The board emphasized the importance of having a written request for the continuance to maintain a clear record. The next steps include confirming availability with the applicants’ legal counsel and setting a firm date for the rescheduled hearing.
