44 DRAFT 56 we will begin hosting initial outreach meetings and begin to identify, address, and analyze what inconsistencies and 57 provisions of the existing zoning subdivision, erosion control, flood damage preventions, amending storm water 58 regulations need to be modified. 59 60 We are drafting the proposed revised sections of the various land regulations for incorporation in the UDO. We are in 61 process of receivership proposals from consultants for the UDO. From January to March or April we will be producing 62 two drafts of the UDO for the general public, advisory board and Planning Board with final draft for review prior to the 63 August 2010 Quarterly Public Hearing. During Task 2 the consultant will be updating information. 64 65 It is through this process that I recommend we address the majority of the board's comments on lighting changes and 66 that we recommend the board moves forward with the proposed amendments as presented within the abstract minus 67 the proposed lumen cap. 68 69 Larry Wright: With the planning staff, I think there should be some accommodation because you are short staffed, what 70 is the pressure of having these time limits and you know your staff load but I think this is something that the BOCC 71 should step back and say that we want it but you have a lot on your plate. Going through the Comprehensive Plan and 72 Buckhorn Vllage at the same time, I felt like I could not really concentrate on the comprehensive Plan because there 73 was so much work. Are we doing this who thing for one meeting or a couple of meetings? 1 don't know what this 74 means for our schedule. 75 76 Michael Harvey: Our plan is that January through March to provide the various advisory boards with drafts of the 77 proposed modifications, public comments, etc. to give you that necessary time to review and offer comment. You will 78 basically be reviewing this document beginning at your January meeting through July. 79 80 We are not going to final press until after we get some comments from various advisory boards and you are key to 81 this. I understand what happened with the Comprehensive Plan and the Buckhom project and I would be lying if I said 82 this was not going to be major work and if a major project comes through we may have to reassess where we are in 83 this process. 84 85 We have set a goal for ourselves and so has the BOCC. Staff has been chomping at the bit to make some serious 86 changes to the existing ordinances and address some previously identified problems. The regulations are severely out 87 of date and there are so many contradictions that it makes it hard for staff to properly enforce. 88 89 I appreciate the fact that you see that the department is understaffed. Our goals and objectives, with respect to 90 completing the UDO project, are based on getting some of these vacant staff positions refilled The County 91 Commissioners know that. If it comes down to the fact that we cannot meet this goal based on curzent staff levels or 92 workloads then it will have to be a severe reassessment of where we are on this project. We have tried to articulate 93 that to the elected officials. 94 95 Larry Wright: You did articulate it and all they did was hand you more work. 96 97 Craig Benedict: We are going to have a calendar of events as to what it will take January through August to get this 98 single project done so you can see our project. What happened in the Comprehensive Plan process is the advisory 99 board input was coming late and so we need to coral that into an organized manner. We are being careful of what we 100 add to the UDO framework. I think there will be a tendency for some to want to change development processes. 101 Some things are not on the table. As we mentioned in the Monday night meeting was kind of a joint advisory board to 102 talk about the UDO so we can talk about the UDO. Based on that meeting we will say what this entails and what it 103 doesn't entail. 104 105 Judith Wegner: I wonder'rf it might be advisable to say at the beginning we have a Phase 1 that will do this and there 106 are other things that can be put into the bucket for Phase II. 107 108 Craig Benedict: The consultant will put in those placeholders and we will actually explain. 109 110 Judith Wegner: I am a bit confused about what we are being asked to do tonight. I have three questions on that; one 111 is that we have lingering issues and we need to move forward but it seems to be confusing to the public. Sounds like
