Summary

Staff and the applicant agreed the Holiday House historic lodging site plan needs more back‑and‑forth with consultants; the board granted a 30‑day extension and said the applicant is expected to appear at the Jan. 12 meeting.

Staff reminded the board that the Holiday House site plan, last considered on Oct. 20, is intended to address necessary notes for an historic lodging facility. Staff said Jeff Leiva at Veil Consultants asked for additional time for revisions and preferred additional back‑and‑forth before formal presentation. Board members discussed whether new ordinance rules require applicants to be present for extensions; because this is a site plan rather than a subdivision, the board made a one‑time exception and moved to grant a 30‑day extension to allow the applicant and consultant to prepare materials for the Jan. 12 meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Board members emphasized future applicants should be aware of the updated ordinance requirements for extension requests.
