Town's ongoing discussions regarding the view analysis methodology. Due to the anticipated length of time this issue
will take to resolve, please continue these hearings to a date uncertain .
Also, I will not be able to attend the upcoming hearing to confirm that PC grants the continuance. Please notify the
