so 547 May Becker: I just wanted to add that I agree with what Mark said as to whether one should include the comments of staff and 548 the discussion of the Planning Board. I don't see how in good conscience you can leave them(the comments)out. 549 550 Brian Crawford: The outstanding issue is to include Craig's potential fixes or suggestions on whether we want to send that along 551 with our comments on this section. 552 553 Larry Wright: We are saying, yes, send this along and we will tell the Board of County Commissioners we approve of Mr. 554 Benedict is saying knowing there will be adjustments and they can look at the adjustments we reaily didn't act on. 555 556 Samantha Cabe: What seems to be the concern is the board voted on accepting the 2.7 issue without considering Mr. 557 Benedict's comments so I think it would be appropriate if people want to include his comments stating that we didn't vote on that 558 because it was a 9�h hour suggestion,it was not fully flushed out but he is certainly obligated and free to investigate to see if this 559 is a good suggestion. He may change his mind once he thinks longer about it and rereads the definitions to see if it would really 560 work but the board did not vote on the 2.7 including his change so it shouldn't be presented to the Board of County 561 Commissioners as part of that but if he wants to include the fact that he made suggestions but we did not vote on the because 562 they were not fully flushed out. 563 564 Larry Wright: I support that. 565 566 Jeffrey Schmitt: That may be right,what Craig drew but I think a geologist needs to make some recommendations. That needs 567 to be brought up by someone in a professional capacity. 568 569 Brian Crawford: What do you need for us to vote on right now? 570 571 Craig Benedict: Pages 21 through 33 which is the text that describes all this and the map that is the culmination of graphing a 572 line around all these definitions. 573 574 Perdita Holtz: It is the red line they voted on. 575 576 Craig Benedict: Zoning text on ages 21 through 33 and the zoning map that was the compilation of all the line shown on maps 577 2.1 and 2.7. 578 579 Brian Crawford: Can I have someone put that forth in a motion? 580 581 Samantha Cabe: The zoning text, as it is currently printed,does that include that weak definition of the isolated area, it would 582 include the isolated area? 583 584 Craig Benedict: Yes. 585 586 Samantha Cabe: If you voted for approval on the text you would be voted for inclusion on the isolated area? 587 588 Craig Benedict: Yes but with the clause that we are going to include the minority opinions. 589 590 MorioN: Samantha Cabe made a motion to include that we vote on the text and the map but include as instruction to the Board 591 of Counry Commissioners that the concerns about the isolated area also apply to the text and not the maps because they need 592 to match. Seconded by Larry Wright. 593 594 Mark Marcoplos: Getting into these parliamentary tricks,one of the things that has concemed me is the original criteria which we 595 seem to now treat as if it was handed down to Moses from the mountain that these are scientifically fool proof, legally 596 unchallengeable,they are the final word and i find that hard to believe. I think we need to acknowledge that we couldn't get a 597 bunch of scientist to say these are the only complete criteria and these cover all we know about movement of water and pollution 598 and we know all we need to know now. There is something about this criterion that we've elevated it to the point that things will 599 live and die by this criterion. I guess I'm asking is this criterion the best, most fool proof,scientifically unchallengeable, legally 600 unchallengeable or is it a work in progress and.could we imagine better criteria because I think we could. I think we're trying to 601 handie all the stuff on this criteria as if we don't need any referees,just go with the criteria. Craig, is it the pinnacle of scientific 602 certitude. 603 604 Craig Benedict: In 2010, this is our best available technology and knowledge. Who would think 15 years ago we would be 605 buying bottled water. This is an upgrade to our 1994 to our technology and water quality consciousness so I think for 2010 this is 606 appropriate. I think all our zoning and environmental regulations are an evolution and we wiil amend them accordingly. 607
