Remarks are generally limited to 3 minutes. 1. State your name and address. 2. Organization you represent, if any. 3. State whether for or against the proposal. 4. Your statement should include all pertinent facts within your knowledge; avoid gossip, emotion and repetition. It is important to discuss only those matters relating to the hearing and to tie your discussion of the facts directly to the decision you wish the Commission to reach. A clear, concise and non-repetitive argument is impressive. In order to have written material included in the Cultural Heritage Commissioner’s mailed Agenda Packet, twelve (12) copies of the material must be delivered to the Department of Development Services, Planning Bureau, no later than ten (10) calendar days before the date of the Cultural Heritage Commission Hearing. Written material that is presented to the Cultural Heritage Commission after this date and up to 1:00 p.m. the day of the Planning Commission Hearing, will be included in the Commissioners’ Agenda folder, but may not be reviewed by the individual Commissioners due to the amount of material that the Commissioners have to review for the Agenda. Material presented to the Commission at the Hearing will be part of the record but also may not be reviewed by individual Commissioners. Page 4 of 4
