Do not click links, reply or open attachments unless you know the content is safe. 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.

Two months is an abundant amount of time to prepare for an appeal issue of such modest scale.

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.

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.

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.
