57 <br /> 365 Brian Crawford: What do we do about the dispute on 2.6? How do we plan to send that to the Board of Counry Commissioners? <br /> 366 <br /> 367 Craig Benedict: We are planning to send it with these comments. <br /> 368 <br /> 369 Brian Crawford: I don't know if I am comfortable with a 9:00 hour change of the definitions. I think when we did our straw vote;it <br /> 370 seems the majority of the Planning Board is in favor of including this. I think we just send it along like that with the same type of <br /> 371 concerns expressed by the other Planning Board members and let the public deal with it and I would say in addition that if we <br /> 372 send it along that way, if we could send some sort of special notice out to those three property owners and let them come and <br /> 373 make comments on them. I prefer to do that. <br /> 374 <br /> 375 Samantha Cabe: I agree. <br /> 376 <br /> 377 May Becker: It seems like at the beginning of the hour, there was an interpretation.that the reason those were excluded was <br /> 378 because of the definitions and I think Craig clarified and developed a more full definition or illustration of what is happening so <br /> 379 what Craig just described makes sense to include. I don't think the first part of our discussion was showing us everything that <br /> 380 should be considered. <br /> 381 <br /> 382 Brian Crawford: I don't deny that but I don't think it changes the opinion of those who voted against it. <br /> 383 <br /> 384 May Becker: I think Samantha pointed out that she was concerned for a particular reason and I think that addresses that <br /> 385 concern to a certain extent. <br /> 386 <br /> 387 Samantha Cabe: It does to an extent but I would agree with Brian to send it with our comments because while I appreciate what <br />' 388 Mr.Benedict is saying,we still have these maps that were created and are public record and I would feel more comfortable with <br /> 389 the Board of County Commissioners reconciling it than us. <br /> 390 <br /> 391 May Becker: The maps are like definitions with pictures but what we discussed was more than that,it tells you how the system <br /> 392 works. <br /> 393 <br /> 394 Brian Crawford: I think that is a good idea. I think we send it along with the comments and include that idea. <br /> 395 <br /> 396 Mark Marcoplos: Notifying landowners is great; everyone should be informed and kept in the loop. We also need to notify the <br /> 397 Town of Hillsborough and the water utility department and the Hillsborough Board since this is their water. <br /> 398 <br /> 399 Craig Benedict: We have done those two things <br /> 400 . <br /> 401 Pete Hallenbeck: I am nervous about this it is sort of like spreadsheet gymnastics,a very complex spreadsheet,we don't get the <br /> 402 result we want so we tweak a few things so it's right and I think while on the surface, I agree with the rationale behind the <br /> 403 change,we have to be careful here that we don't tweak criteria to get some subjective result that we want and in that regard, I <br /> 404 think your recommendation is the best way out. That is part of why this group exists is to put discretion into this process and not <br /> 405 play bureaucratic games of defining rules and changing the rules to get some nebulous outcome. <br /> 406 <br /> 407 Craig Benedict: We have had a series of straw votes,I would like to wrap it into a more formal vote and if the board,as it exists <br /> 408 tonight can say that we are comfortable with what occurred last meeting and this meeting and that really in summary is an <br /> 409 approval of 2.1-2.7 noting the comments on 2.4, 2.6 and 2.7. I would need more of a formal vote for the zoning text change, <br /> 410 zoning map change and land use text change and land use map change. That would be the formal part of your <br /> 411 recommendation. <br /> 412 <br /> 413 Samantha Cabe: Do we vote for each map? <br /> 414 <br /> 415 Craig Benedict: If you want to put this all together and say we agree what it says here in addition to 2.7 where we had a 4-3 vote <br /> 416 to include the comments we had tonight. <br /> 417 <br /> 418 Brian Crawford: Is anyone opposed to voting on this as a whole. <br /> 419 <br /> 420 Samantha Cabe: When you say voting on it as a whole? <br /> 421 <br /> 422 Brian Crawford: As we have made the recommendation,I guess he is asking for a formal approval to submit this to the Board of <br /> 423 County Commissioners as designated here to include 2.7 so we did a straw vote but he wants something more formal to sent to <br /> 424 the Board of County Commissioners and as it is written,I think we approve them although in some instance not unanimously with <br /> 425 the comments. <br />
