Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to the regulations that are being changed for mobile homes on page 5-22. He said that in many mobile home parks, there is no right-of-way, but only the asphalt strip. He asked how the setback would be measured. The same thing occurs on page 5-24 when it refers to right-of-way. Also, on page 5-26, number 12-a, he read, "each applicant shall submit to the Orange County Planning Department rules and regulations governing the operation of the mobile home park." He is not sure what this has to do with the County's approving the mobile home park. Commissioner Jacobs said that this was more protective than anything else. He said that the idea is that there are no protections for people who live in mobile home parks, so they were trying to have established rules. Commissioner Yuhasz said that this is not enforceable. Commissioner Jacobs suggested looking at these older minutes when these rules were established. Craig Benedict said that if something cannot be enforced, there should be a footnote. Commissioner Jacobs said that abandoned mobile homes are a huge problem in Orange County. He said that there should be some requirement in a mobile home park when it is owned by one entity that the owner should have to dispose of it. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to 5.6.5, riding stables and kennels, and said that it is an ongoing problem to have those two connected because they are different entities. It was answered that there will be a recommendation from the Board of Adjustment that these two uses be split. Commissioner Jacobs said that he was going to flag this about being a Class B Special Use Permit. Craig Benedict said that more work is needed on kennels. Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to Section 5.7.1 and made some spelling corrections, which were noted by staff. Commissioner Jacobs asked if golf courses count as open space in a subdivision and Michael Harvey said that he does not have an answer for that. Commissioner Jacobs said that it ought to be articulated how golf courses are designated. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Section 5.95 and asked why there is a strike-through there. It was answered that this was a formatting problem. Commissioner Jacobs said that he believes the County has very little authority to regulate liquid fuel and electric transmission lines. He said that this should come to the County Commissioners because these things could have a great impact on neighborhoods. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Section 5.10.3, the Annual Telecommunications Project meeting, and asked if there was any public participation in these. It was answered that the normal course of action is to notify staff of any changes with telecommunications towers, etc. Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Section 5.12.2-c on page 5-122, Rehabilitation Plan for Extraction of Earth Product, and said that there is a no-fault well repair for American Stone. He asked why this would not be included. He would like to make it standard practice to have this fund. Commissioner Jacobs asked about Section 5.14.2 and a community center. He said that in previous discussions, it came up about listing the hours of operation, specifically with church recreation. The Board agreed to look into this further and perhaps require a listing of the hours of operation for those uses where it makes sense to do so.
