Mr. Korasani,
Your clients have had two months to prepare for this hearing. The only reason I extended the hearing date an additional two weeks was so that the parties could benefit from the exchange
of witness and exhibit lists. In the face of objections from the Applicant, it would not be reasonable for me to extend the hearing date three weeks for such a limited appeal issue.
Delaying the review process almost three months to resolve a fence issue is not a burden I can reasonably place upon the Applicant. If the week of October 27 does not work for your
client then we'll do October 20, 2020.

Hello,
I serve as the Hearing Examiner on this appeal. Two months is an abundant amount of time to prepare for an appeal issue of such modest scale. However, in order to facllitate an
exchange of witness and exhibit lists I will authorize a two week continuance to 10/27/20 at 8:30 am. The Appellant should email it's list of witnesses and exhibits to all parties to
this email by 5:00 pm, 10/16/20. City and Applicant should email their lists by 5:00 pm , 10/21/20. Appellant's rebuttal list of witnesses and exhibits by 5:00 pm, 10/23/20. Any proposed
exhibits should be emailed to all parties at the same time as the exhibit lists that identifies them. Witness lists need to identify the witnesses that will be called to testify and
a brief summary of the subject matter. Except for good cause, only witnesses and exhibits identified in the witness and exhibit lists can be presented at the hearing. No special format
is necessary for the lists. You can just put that information in an email.
If the parties have any questions, feel free to email them to me, cc'd to all other parties to this email.
The format of the hearing will be as follows, as copied from the Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-8-110E:
1. Format of the Appeal Hearing: The appeal hearing will be of an informal nature, but organized so that testimony and other evidence can be presented efficiently. An appeal hearing
shall include at least the following:
a. An introductory outline of the procedure by the Hearing Examiner.
b. Presentation by the appellant, including any witnesses.
c. Cross-examination, if any, of appellant and appellant’s witnesses.
d. Presentation by City staff, summarizing the staff analysis and including any witnesses for the City.
e. Cross-examination, if any, of City staff and staff’s witnesses.
f. Presentation by the project applicant, if different from appellant, including any witnesses.
g. Cross-examination of any of the project applicant and applicant’s witnesses.
h. Rebuttal testimony and closing by City staff.
i. Rebuttal testimony and closing by applicant, if different from appellant.
j. Rebuttal testimony and closing by appellant.

Cindy: Please be advise the applicant, Robert P Wenzl, Tuscany Construction, LLC objects to the continuance of the Appeal Hearing. A continuance will further delay start of construction.
We are in the final review process for the civil construction permit and plan to start the frontage improvements as soon as the permit is issued. The requested continuance to Nov/Dec
will push start of construction into the spring increasing project costs.
We believe the City was justified in issuing the Amended Administrative Report and Decision dated July 20, 2020 by determining the previous Decision included a public safety hazard.
We believe the two month period given has been an adequate amount of time to prepare for the Appeal Hearing.
The applicant is presently out of town and may further to add to this objection upon his return. Thank you.

Jason,
The reasons for reschedule of the Hearing are that we need more time to prepare and for more assistance for legal aid.
Also the another reason for asking for continuance are matters of health.
