32:28 Again, I'm Keith Jones. I'm a senior planner and work in development review with the city of Vancouver. I think I'll just, Mr. Odron prepared a good presentation covering most of the aspects. I'll just talk more about the procedure. So the application was accepted in November, November 5th of last year. We went through a completeness review and that was deemed fully complete December 9th of last year, following that, we did a notice of application and a notice of public hearing as required by the code and state law. And we allowed for a 30 day comment period, which is also part of our code procedures. We noticed 500 feet from the outer boundaries of the development based on a mailing provided by the applicant. We posted the site and we also put it in the Colombian newspaper.

33:27 During that 30 day comment period, we did not receive any public comments. I'll also note that the project is categorically exempt from SEPA, so there was no SEPA notice prepared. Following that, we took internal staff comments due to our own deadline and as Mr. Odron indicated, they also submitted for a civil engineering review. And that's also why there are a lot of sheets in the drawing set, just because of the amount of detail that was provided. Then two weeks before this hearing on March 3rd, we issued the staff report. That staff report recommends approval with the conditions as stated in the staff report and that's staff's recommendation as of tonight. Other than that, I don't really have any other specific things. Up until the issuance of the staff report, we will mark the staff report as exhibit one

34:25 to the eventual hearings examiner decision. All of the exhibits submitted with that report are lettered and those are as stated in the staff report, that anything that we receive after the issuance of the staff report two weeks before the hearing, we will then letter those. And I think the only thing that we've received is Mr. Odron's presentation, which I believe will be submitted as exhibit two. And then I guess if Mr. Odron also has some additional email correspondence to enter into the record, then we will enter those as the subsequent numbers. So no public comments received during the 30-day comment period. And I don't really have anything else to add at this time. - Okay, thank you very much. I had a question that I wrote down

35:20 looking at the review clock, 170 days after the date the application was complete. So do you have a date or an estimate as to where we are in that timeline? - Yeah, so when we, well, for a couple of points, so yes, it was deemed complete on 12/9, but we also, when the applicant elects to submit civil engineering drawings, they also agree to waive their time period for doing that additional process and for us accelerating the process for them. So there isn't, they do, 'cause they don't have to do the combined process. They can do what we call the standard process and go through a land use review with preliminary plans and then come back for engineering.

36:17 So that's just a point of order there, so. - Excellent, okay, thank you. I don't have any other questions for you, Mr. Jones. Is there anyone else from the city that is going to be providing any testimony? I hadn't requested anybody else to be present, but. - There's no one else here from the city tonight except for that's prepared for testimony. Of course, Ms. Bowen is here as our admin staff. - Great, okay, thank you. All right, well, we will now turn it over, open it up for any public testimony. Is there anyone that wishes to provide testimony on this application this evening? And I'll wait for a moment.

37:12 Ms. Bowen, can you see whether there's anyone online that perhaps you don't recognize their name and maybe they wish to testify? I think that you said that Furcrest had submitted something. - Furcrest had said that they were going to attend and may provide public testimony during the public comment, but they definitely gave us notice that they wanted to attend the hearing. - Okay. - So Margaret Milam is here and I believe Martha, I'm sorry, Martha, I forgot your last name and I don't want to guess, but I'm not seeing them raise their hands, but they may want to provide. - Okay. - Here's Margaret Milam with Furcrest. - Hi, good evening. I'm going to swear you in real quick, Ms. Milam. Do you swear or affirm the testimony you give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? - I do. - Great, okay, can you state your name and spell your last name for the record?

38:09 - Sure, Margaret Milam, spelled M as in Mary, I-L-E-M as in Mary. - Okay, great, go ahead. - Yeah, so our intention really was just to listen, but whenever our neighbor's association is brought up, I go ahead and jump in and in the case of developments by this particular developer, the comment is always, we just appreciate how much they have worked at keeping our neighborhood association informed about the process, the progress and the specifics to the developments. So that is the end of my public comment. - Wonderful, I appreciate it, thank you very much. Martha, it looks like you have turned on your camera. No, you have nothing else to add. All right, well, thank you. Is there anyone else online that wishes to provide testimony this evening? Please raise your hand if you do.

39:05 - I'm not seeing anyone else, examiner Marshall. - All right, excellent. Okay, well, then now is the time for me to turn it back to... Oh, go ahead. - I'm sorry, Mike Oden, I think has something to offer. - Yes. - Just a clarification, which I failed to mention during my testimony. I did present this project to the Furcrest Neighborhood Association several months ago. And they were happy to hear that we presented it, first of all, went into great detail, indicated that we were keeping all of the street trees, adding additional ones, and that it's been a pleasure to have met with the Furcrest Neighborhood Association on not only this project, but I also presented another project to them that we had a hearing on a few weeks back.

40:04 So it was kind of double duty. So I failed to mention that to you previously, and just want to let you know that that is what we did. - Well, thank you. I think it's very nice when applicants communicate with surrounding neighbors that might be impacted by development. So thank you for that. Did you have anything else that you wanted to add before we go ahead and close the public hearing, Mr. Oden? - No, nothing further, thank you though. - Okay, Mr. Jones, did you have anything else that you wish to add? - I don't have anything else to add, thank you. - All right, thank you. Other than the slides and any revisions to the site plan and perhaps some of the email correspondence, is there any need to keep the written record open at the close of this public hearing? - No. - Okay. - I don't see any. - All right, well, thank you all. I will go ahead and close the public hearing now.

41:03 It is 6.40 p.m. on Tuesday, the 17th. I want to thank everyone for your professional testimony. And I appreciate the time that you spent this evening explaining this project. Any questions for me before we all log off? - No. - All right. Well, thank you. - Thank you, examiner Marshall. - Thank you examiner Marshall. - Thank you all. - Nice to meet you, bye-bye. - Thank you, examiner Marshall. - Thanks. - Good night. - Good night, everyone. - Good night. - Thank you.
