193 <br />Approved 2/2/11 <br />717 Shannon Berry: We can add language to B1 along those lines that says basically this shall be reviewed in accordance with state <br />718 requirements and must be approved by the Erosion Control supervisor. We can change the language so it doesn't imply that is a <br />719 done deal. <br />720 <br />721 Alan Campbell: Make it active. <br />722 <br />723 Brian Crawford: I like that. May, do you want to look at that change. <br />724 <br />725 Shannon Berry: We can come up with a couple of options for that. <br />726 <br />727 Brian Crawford: After tonight we will reword that and shoot it out. <br />728 <br />729 Alan Campbell: That will cover everything, not just 13, everything in D. <br />730 <br />731 Brian Crawford: We are back to "permitted by right ". <br />732 <br />733 May Becker: It is a concern. You are putting up a list of Things people aie allowed to do with a stream buffer and I think we <br />734 should know what they are. <br />735 <br />736 Brian Crawford: What would your suggestion be about this permitted by right? What would you like to see? <br />737 <br />738 May Becker: Something along the lines, I would take right out and say something along the lines of, permitted if special use or <br />739 some kind of permitting is approved. <br />740 <br />741 Brian Crawford: Staff? <br />742 <br />743 Perdita Holtz: I think we could change it to uses permitted without mitigation and change the sentence that's right behind that <br />744 says the following uses are allowed as a matter of right and then make sure when you look at A3 it says structure are approved, <br />745 approval of a site plan and all that but add a 4 that says if structures are not proposed that they still have to ... we need to <br />746 determine what the permit would be called but a type of permit shall be required to be approved prior to commencement of the <br />747 activity. <br />748 <br />749 Shannon Berry: If you are not happy with the word "permitted or permit ", the state uses the term "allowable" which is a little more <br />750 open ended. We could change permitted by right to uses allowable with mitigation. We could change the topic of the whole <br />751 section, the whole title that says allowable in the stream buffers. Does that help? <br />752 <br />753 Craig Benedict: It is more requested than permitted. <br />754 <br />755 Shannon Berry: We can change all the "permitted" to "allowable ". <br />756 <br />757 Pete Hallenbeck: May, on item 8 is there some specific scenario you are thinking of? You have to let people go to their land, it's <br />758 25 feet, the streams are big, what exactly are you going to do? What's worrying you? <br />759 <br />760 May Becker: What's worrying me is the developers. In places like Florida, they have very lax laws where they build shoddy <br />761 buildings, they pave over things. <br />762 <br />763 Pete Hallenbeck: Is your concern, for example, you go down the stream and they are putting in a driveway and they are going to <br />764 pave it and put in ditches and let it run right into the stream? Is this gravel versus asphalt? <br />765 <br />766 May Becker: My concern is just thoughts it could potentially change one particular landscape to something else. For example, if <br />767 you have a lot with a lot of trees or fairly rural and then you allow, you don't have a lot of rules, and a developer comes in form <br />768 you know where and doesn't know the community well and decides to subdivide that land into very small lots close to the stream <br />769 with a lot of driveways and not much vegetation is around there anymore. The other question, can people just fertilize lawns <br />770 without any regulations, I think the answer was not it was a one time application that was allowed but for me it's not clear. <br />771 <br />772 Pete Hallenbeck: So a lot of what you're wrestling with is big picture stuff. <br />773 <br />774 May Becker: It is but it also not completely unrealistic. We are welcoming development which, there are different ways to <br />775 approach development. <br />776 <br />13 <br />
