Ms. Jarvis stated that she and her client felt that it was inappropriate for Commissioner Paulson to sit on this Board to review this appeal as they feel that Commissioner Paulson is biased in this matter and could not pass fair judgment on this case for the Parties involved. Commissioner Young made a motion that due to the irregular circumstances of this case he would move. acceptance of the appeal be denied, that the matter be dropped and the decision of the Planning Commission be sustained with their -findings of fact. The motion died for lack of"a second. After discussion, Cbmmissiouer Paulson stated that he would disqualify 'himself since the question -of his being able "to judge the case fairly came up, he felt sure that -any decision would be questioned.

Ms. Jarvis asked if she would be able to comment as Mr. Speck went along and was informed that she would get a chance to respond when Mr. Speck finished. Mr. Speck stated that it was his client's position that Mr. Pickett was not in compliance with Goals 11 and 14 as it is rural land that is being developed to urban density and urban use simply does not belong in that area or zone which is A-1. There was further argument by Mr. Speck. Ms. Jarvis responded to Mr. Speck's comments. As to the mention that Mr. Pickett was not in compliance with Goals 11 and 14, Ms. Jarvis stated that Mr. Pickett had applied for and been granted a conditional use permit in that zone and Ms. Jarvis did not feel thatdiscussion of the permit was relevant at this time. Ms. Jarvis had further comments regarding Mr. Speck's arguments. After both sides had been heard and there were no questions from Commissioner Young or Chairman Shepard, Chairman Shepard stated that he thought it was now appropriate to close the hearing and that he and Commissioner Young would draw up some findings of fact and give them to Lou Dvorak so that he could combine the two of them and come up with one document.
