Excerpt of [3raft Minutes 13 <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />Commissioner Yuhasz asked for clarity on whether major projects would have to come back <br />every 12 months to show that they were proceeding. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked Michael Harvey to check and see how Chapel Hill and <br />Carrboro do extensions and for the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning Board to <br />see. He thinks that when there is an extension, then the applicant could stipulate how many <br />months the extension should be. He thinks that the staff should monitor progress. <br />Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the first page and that the applicant can only <br />request an extension from the Board of County Commissioners upon the favorable <br />recommendation of the Planning Board. He thinks that this is wrong, and he would like to <br />change this. He respects the Planning Board, but there might be other interests of the Board of <br />County Commissioners that would make it important to have an extension. <br />Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the statement, "It should be noted that no <br />extension request shall be approved if such request represents an alteration." He asked for a <br />definition of an alteration. Michael Harvey pointed this definition out in the article. <br />There was no public comment. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to refer <br />the matter to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned in time for the August 18, <br />2009 BOCC meeting. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
