The record was left open until June 15, 2016 for the submission of new evidence, until June 22, 2016 to respond to any new evidence, and until June 29, 2016 for the applicant's final legal argument. The applicant and opponent Valley River Inn submitted materials during this period. One of the applicant's submission was received by e-mail at 5:01 p.m. on June 15, 2016. Valley River Inn objects that the applicant's submission was due by 5:00 p.m. and therefore was late and should be rejected. I do not see that the one minute makes any difference, and the record is being further extended by this letter. Therefore, all of the materials submitted to date are accepted. On July 6, 2016, Valley River Inn submitted a letter objecting to the applicant's final legal argument on the ground that the final legal argument improperly contained additional evidence as well as requests for additional adjustments. Valley River Inn is correct that the applicant's final legal argument exceeded the scope of final legal argument. The applicant suggested allowing Valley River Inn additional time to review the additional information in its final legal argument and extending the open record period accordingly. Valley River Inn agreed to the applicant's suggestion. Therefore, the record is extended seven days from the date of this letter until July 21, 2016 for Valley River Inn to respond to the applicant's final legal argument. The record will be closed on July 21, 2016. Please advise the parties of this decision. 1 1 P a g e
