Presenter.� Michael Harvey,Planner 111 Mor�oN: Mark Marcoplos made a motion to recommend approval of the proposed zoning atlas amendment and make a recommendation for the approval of Attachment(s)Two,Statement of Consistency, and Three, Resolution of Rezoning Petition approval,for the item. Seconded by Rachel Hawkins. VOTE:Unanimous Mark Marcoplos: We discussed for another lot 200 yards up the road from this one about a storage facility. It was apparent there was no problem among the Planning Board members and we didn't need to take another month to look at it so I made a proposal to the Board of County Commissioners that if it was a no brainer,IeYs save the time and paper and tum it right back to them. Alice Gordon,with her focus on due process said she was uncomfortable with that kind of quick turn around. Bernadette Pelissier came to me after the meeting and gave me an idea,why don't you tum it back to us if there are no questions and you feel there are no problems and we can approve it at the next meeting which means it may be a week or two rather than months. That would be my motion. We need to be on the same page and have read the informabon and even if we have to take a few minutes at the public hearing to confirm we are okay. We don't want an issue to move ahead if there is a legitimate reason discuss it further so if we can be prepared to take an action on these issues and send it back to the Board of County Commissioners then at their next meeting that gives the public that little extra 6me. Brian Crawford: I think I heard from Alice that she was also concerned about the public's opportunity to make additional comments. This proceeding is the public's opportunity to make additional comments before it goes back to the Board. Mark Marcoplos: It was unclear what she really wanted because the Public Hearing is the opportunity to make their comments. Brian Crawford: Technically this is a public hearing. Mark Marcoplos: It is a judgment call. They could come back to the Board of County Commissioners meeting and ask a question. Larry Wright: You two have had experience on this Board and there are things that come before us that people do come and this current Board, the new members, have not really seen much of this but there are issues that come before us that people do come in and make comments and comments to us as well as to the Board of County Commissioners. Brian Crawford: Comments that have also swayed some of the Board members decisions in here. 1
