A public hearing on the appeal by Apollo Land Holdings of the Hood River County Planning Commission’s denial of an application to construct a 50 room hotel on the former Dee Mill site as part of the DeeTour project has been continued to December 19.  The County Commission hearing was scheduled for Monday evening, but with Commission Chair Ron Rivers on vacation and Bob Benton recusing himself due to a conflict of interest, there were only three remaining members of the Commission to hear testimony, and that’s the number of votes required by the County Charter to make any decision.  County Counsel emeritus Will Carey said traditionally the Commission has allowed a request for a continuance if the appellant desired.  And attorney Mike Robinson, representing Apollo, made the request, noting they had submitted an extension of the 150 day clock that would give the Commission until the end of the year to render a decision.  Commissioners Les Perkins, Maui Meyer, and Karen Joplin voted unanimously to grant the continuance.
