Excerpt of Minutes 33 <br />Apprnved 10/1108 <br />101 private party but if we've got the review within the County before doing this, we'll have represent who can get allowed <br />102 if they don't do the job right. f'm convinced by what Geoff said that you can't have an SUP because you can't get the <br />103 quasi-judicial deiberation when it's your Duet project at stake. This may be a pdicy review issue. It seems to me it <br />104 would be appropriate for the Board of County Commissioners m have an irrtemai review. ft seems there are other <br />105 ways tp do this. <br />106 <br />107 Brian Crawford: ti creates the appem~arroe by the citizens that Orange County has not Played by the same toles. <br />108 Government changes and raw we have a government that is friendly towards ernironmer>Eai issues and that may not <br />1.09 always be the same. i parr image one day that we could have a Board of County Commissioners that would be <br />110 arbitrary about how we select a site so ff there is any appearance that the county has two sets of rules; I could see <br />111 that as a problem. <br />112 <br />113 Judith Wegner. If it is in the ordinance, l don't understand who will enforce it <br />114 <br />115 Brian Crawford: At least the atizens will be able th hold them accounta~e. The way it is now, the citizens have to <br />116 say now you get m ~ what you want because you are the Board of County Commissioners. <br />117 <br />118 Bernadette Pelissier: The whole issue of environments responsibaities goals, part of the whole thrust behind that <br />119 was that the county should be a model. If you want the cit¢er~ fio do things that are energy efficiency, water <br />120 efficient, etc. The county should be the first one to model this behavior. <br />121 <br />122 Mici~! Harvey: Unto the Comprehensive Plan is adopted and the Board of County Commissioners direct staff on <br />123 how to implement these goes, we are rat suns how that is going to be addressed. We have recommended adoption <br />124 of goals and objectives and we have existing goals and objectives but from an implementation standpoint, there have <br />125 been no direction from the Board of County Commissioners an how fio address this issue. <br />126 <br />127 Bernadette Pelissier. f was taikkrg about the environmental resporrsi~~fies and goad. <br />128 <br />129 Michael Harvey: 1 have no clue from an implementation standpoint because we have not been given direction. <br />130 <br />131 Bernadette Pelissier. That answers that question. <br />132 <br />133 Michael Harvey: The reason I brought up the Article 8 sue was because the question posed to me at the last <br />134 meeting, could we require the county to adhere to the submittal requirements, as part of the normal site plan review. <br />135 My comment was that would at least address some of the concerns about the inconsistency of a submittal .process <br />136 and that would address that point. These projects still have th go through. <br />137 <br />138 Larry Wright: I agree that the county should set the standard of the way this should be handfed. Who is the ors that <br />139 checks ilia checker? <br />140 <br />141 l.atry Wright: Right now, if is Environmental 'Health and the state tp ensure the systems is instaAed adequately. ff <br />142 you have a getup of Board of County Commissoners that is not conducting themselves in acoorclance with the <br />143 wishes of the community, they are voted out of office. <br />144 <br />145 Craufurd Goodwin: ti seems we ~ recommend to the Board of County Commissioners and the County Manager <br />146 that the process be devised to replicate the process required of the public. How that is imp{emenbed, I don't think we <br />147 can deade around this table but we slauld recommend it <br />148 <br />
