ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT--ARTICLE 20.7 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS TEXT AMENDMENT-. <br /> SECTION VII-D-4 <br /> This presentation was made by Mary Scearbo. The purpose of this item was to conside <br /> proposed amendments to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances establishing guidelines by whit <br /> information received after the advertised date of a public hearing may be considered by th <br /> Planning Board and the Board of Commissioners. Evidence received at a public hearing becomes par <br /> of the public record and is considered by the hearing body in rendering its decision. Unless <br /> hearing is specifically held open by the Board of Commissioners, new information or evident <br /> submitted by staff, other departments or agencies, or the public cannot be considered withou <br /> readvertising and conducting an additional hearing. The proposed amendment would allow fo <br /> information received after the public hearing date to be considered, if it is presented in writing <br /> and it is made available to the Planning Board prior to its recommendation to the Board o <br /> Commissioners. On October 16, 1989, the Planning Board recommended approval of the propose <br /> amendment, with provisions that testimony introduced after initial date of the public hearing b <br /> in written form. The amendment was further revised to specify that no new information will b <br /> considered by the Board of Commissioners in making its decision unless that information wa <br /> available to the Planing Board at the time of its recommendation. <br /> Commissioner Carey stated that this is a reasonable way to add some flexibility in what i <br /> considered after the Public Hearing but limits it to things that are submitted in writing to th <br /> Planning Board before they make their recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. <br /> A motion was made by Chairman Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis, to approve the propose <br /> amendment per the Planning Board recommendation. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
