firm believer in the concept of a "drop dead" date for PDP's. <br>
<br>
I believe that we need to insure against "perpetuity" by providing in
the process a "reasonable" time period <br>
for completion.. If the time period is not met then that specific PDP would
expire and an entirely new PDP would have to be initiated.<br>
<br>
I do not think it is a good idea to allow for council votes for "time
extensions" for a specific PDP as this <br>
would circumvent the concept of a "timely " process..<br>
