Hailey told the board that Our Favorite Things (applicants Ed and Jody Reback) had asked for added time while they pursue an SBA loan and finalize plans: "The applicant requested an extension… there is language in the agreement that says they're willing to they can ask for an extension." The applicant in the audience described financing delays and asked for six months; council moved to extend all benchmarks by six months and directed staff to prepare replacement agreements for formal approval.

On the Panacea Shipping item staff said the applicant had missed the 90‑day commencement requirement and resubmitted permits multiple times; the applicant (speaker 16) described confusion around a permitting portal and said he expected a permit by January. Council approved a six‑month extension and instructed staff to prepare an amended agreement to bring back next month for final approval.
