59 486 by all these definitions so if you want to vote on the zoning map and the zoning text,that would be a good place to go now and I 487 will go over the land use after. 488 489 Brian Crawford: Does anyone have any comments or concerns? 490 491 Samantha Cabe: Whatever the vote is, I think it important to pass onto the Board of County Commissioners that these 492 definitions as applied create that donut hole so if they decide they want to include the isolated area in the critical watershed,they 493 need to make this match and that wili be their job to do that or direct you to fix it. 494 495 Craig Benedict: The definition we have now is any isolated areas created by this map that are surrounded by critical areas which 496 probably doesn't hold as much water as saying that are within a half mile of the Class 2 reservoir that are hydrologically 497 connected by a ridge line. That is probably the definition we will offer to the Board of County Commissioners. 498 499 Jeffrey Schmitt: I think this needs to go forward the way we vote on it and if there are questions that come up while the Board of 500 County Commissioners review it,then they ask for an alternative to this, I think Mr.Benedict can offer an alternative but I don't 501 think an alternative needs to be offered as it goes forward. 502 503 Brian Crawford: You would not be in favor of? 504 505 Jeffrey Schmitt: Of what Craig just said. He said he would offer an alternative of the text that goes forward. I don't think we 506 should to that. 507 508 Brian Crawford: You are still agreeing with Samantha? 509 510 Jeffrey Schmitt: Yes. , 511 512 Pete Hallenbeck: On page 22,the criteria that was applied to the GIS data to create these maps,the very last item regarding 513 eliminating the area on West Ten Road. If you think about it,that criteria is the same sort of spreadsheet gymnastics that we're 514 talking about if you think about it in much the same way that a homeowner could sue regarding the donut hole saying the 515 property rights are being taken away on this last one. Someone could sue. Aiso, on page 29, I have gotten feedback from a 516 couple of citizens regarding the impervious surface ratio and lot size. They were concerned about that there are some lots 517 because of how the lot is laid out has an extremely long driveway. You may have a farm person who has a 10 acre lot cut out in 518 the middle surrounded by 80 acres for agricultural use with a 1,200 foot driveway that would use a lot of the impervious surface 519 so those people are wondering if there could be any square foot limits to allocate a certain percentage otherwise you are 520 penalized. You could pass that on for part of citizen feedback. 521 522 Craig Benedict: Public comments that come to the board before your vote tonight are part of the records so we will include that. 523 For small lots,we try to get the little better ratio but for the bigger lots 6%has to be 6%. 524 525 Pete Hailenbeck: The diagram is great but they are all square lots on roads and this is just a particular type of lot that is common 526 in rural areas. 527 528 Mark Marcoplos: My understanding is that it is the staff's job to work with these issues that involve an understanding and gather 529 new information and present it to the Board of County Commissioners. I don't see how we can say to the staff you came up with 530 an idea that may have merit but we don't want you to tell that to the Board of County Commissioners. These issues evolved,if 531 the rules were always right,we wou�d not be revisiting rules made in 1994. Government is a process of understanding, learning 532 more, a consciousness of land and how we live on it. I think it is essential that the staff's ideas on how these issues can be 533 viewed is communicated to the Board of County Commissioners so I don't think we should muzzle the staff on this. 534 535 Jeffrey Schmitt: My comment on Craig's is that it not be included in the written record. If Craig wants to say this is what the 536 Planning Board said,this is some alternatives you can have. What practically happens if you have the house way at the end, 537 you can't put rock on your driveway that you have drive over the dirt. 538 539 Craig Benedict: I don't think we have run into any stream cases like that. They may be asked not to put the house there but 540 closer to the road. 541 542 Jeffrey Schmitt: We are going to ask these people to put their house somewhere else? 543 544 Craig Benedict: If it is an existing house,there are more houses with more impervious than our standards apply and they are 545 grandfathered in with that standard. 546
