Re: Applications of Porto~no Entities - Scheduling of Hearings
Dear Mr. Pedrosa:
In our prior letter dated August 19, 1997, we indicated our intent to seek a continuation of
the Portofino matters scheduled for first reading on September 10, 1997. At the time of
our request it was not known when the Alternative DRI application would be statutorily
permitted to be scheduled for public hearing and be heard.
Based upon the realistic schedule and timing anticipated, the first reading of the pending
matters and the Alternative DRI cannot be statutorily permitted before the Board's
meeting on December 17, 1997 with second reading on January 21, 1997.
As a result, we respectfully request that first reading of the pending Portofino
applications be continued to December 17, 1997, and second reading on January 21,
1997.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours very truly,
