1(30 The fifth priority is work on the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Officer stated that the Land Classification System still needed to be developed. Much of this work will be that of the Planning Board, and the Advisory Councils, as well as the amended Zoning Ordinance. The last priority is the identification of environmentally critical areas in the County. Discussion ensued concerning the establishing of the Advisory Councils in the townships. Some questions asked were (1) how many people should serve from each township? The answer was that the representatives may vary. The number of members should be a recommendation from the Planning Board. (2) Are those appointed to the Advisory Countils to be experts or general representatives of the population? The answer was that the representatives should be those who will provide input and who are aware of the problems in their specific area. Col. Breeze asked how the composition of the Planning Board was decided upon. The Chairman replied that a representative was appointed from each township, and more were appointed from the two townships where zoning already exist. Pat Crawford asked about the terms of the members to the Planning Board. The Chairman stated that the members of the Planning Board would draw for the terms at their first meeting. Chris Edwards, Planning Assistant, stated that the new Planning Board would want to create Bylaws and elect officers. Commissioner Gustaveson stated that the six objectives, which the Planning Director had pointed out, involved a major task which would require an enormous amount of work. He stated that when zoning is extended to Bingham, Cheeks and Hillsborough Townships, this would bring about a larger amount of plats to be approved. The Board of Commissioners hoped that some of the administrative procedures, which took up time at the Commissioners' meetings, would be worked out at the Planning Board level. Commissioner Gustaveson briefly reviewed a draft of the amended Sub- division Regulations, pointing out specific areas which had been changed or added. The Chairman again express his appreciation to the Planning Board for attending this meeting and for their willingness to serve,rthe County in this capacity. ~ ;? ~ ,~~ ~ q/y~J. . ,• . l Richer E.
