The parties have not been reached consensus on a hearing schedule; thus a schedule must be set in the absence of consensus. Order 1. The hearing will convene on August 2, 2017 at 12:30 pm and go until completion or until 9:00 pm, whichever is first. The hearing shall reconvene on August 4th at 10:00 am if not completed. 2. Any witnesses who are unavailable on August 2nd may have testimony presented through declaration submitted as an exhibit. 3. If a party feels they have not made their case adequately with written testimony only of their witness(es), the party may move to reconvene the hearing at a later date in August, which motion may be granted at the examiner’s discretion provided 1) that a mutually agreed date can be found and 2) that all parties agree to extend the 90 day decision deadline established in the RZC to allow for post-hearing briefing and adequate deliberation time (at least the full 10 business days from the close of the record).
