(1971,c.698,s.1.) The Chairman referred the Board to Item 8 of the Agenda: (Dissuasion and F;hactment of policy towards requests to withdraw rezoning application after they have been advertised.) Chairman Walker reoueated Mark Burnham to comment on the matter. Mr. Burnham stated that he was of the ppinion that after the County had advertised the duly called Public Hearing then the applicant should not be allowed to withdraw the request or if a request for re-zoning was withdrawn then the applicant could be charged a fee for the expenses that had been incurred by the County. The County Administrator suggested that the Board not permit any withdrawal of re-zoning requests once the reoueat had been advertised. It was suggested that a written reoueat must be filed by the appliaant one week prior to the scheduled Public Hearing, and that a poster type notice should be placed on the property. Further discussion ensued. The Board requested the County Administrator and Mark Burnham to write a Policy statement as they felt a policy would allow flexability and accomplish the purpose rather than placing the item into the Zoning Ordinance. The Chairman referred the Board to Item 2 of the Agenda: (Northern Orange Medical Foundation represented by Mr. Raymond Montgomery: Presenting a petition concerning acouisition of a parcel of property on Cameron Street from Orange County.) Chairman Walker recognized Raymond Montgomery, Mr. Montgomery made the Following statements; "Due to having been given the incorrect date of the meeting as the 8th when 1 ask Mr. Gattia to be put on the docket I was unable to oollect all the petitions to be presented today since I only learned of this Monday meeting yesterday and had not planned to pink up the petiticns until today, but wa feel we have gotten enough support throughout the county to warrant continuing this petition. Due to haveing been given the incorrect date 2 would like to now that this be put on the docket for your next meeting at which time this petition will be presented. Since this petition was drawn up 2 have learned that a donation would be eligible, however, we feel the $15,000 per acre which you are asking is much to high. On behalf of the people of Orangge County I am asking for a complete breakdown of this property giving in writing cost of this property, a complete breakdown of each investment and how this 1.s acre portion of land was prorated from this expenditure. I am &aking that the Orange Count' Commisaioriera have this information in writing at the next meeting.'
