Mr. DeAngelis, attorney for the Bowen’s Wharf application, noted that this date would not be good for him or his expert witness, Mr. Blake.

Representatives from Herreshoff Marine Museum noted that they wanted to move forward on their applications as time was of the essence. Chair Tikoian said he would try to roll this agenda, except for the Bowen’s Wharf application, over to Tuesday, March 2nd and roll the Bowen’s Wharf application over to March 9th. Chair Tikoian said if the conference room is not available for March 2nd, he would roll the entire agenda over to March 9th.
