210 DRAFT 793 ended up focusing on these issues. I just want to point out there were other issues and that's how the Board decided to proceed. 794 795 Craig Benedict: I'll go back to August 24, 2009. The Commissioners told us to not open up every chapter of this book. There 796 are sections in here that we know need work but that wasn't our charge so we've limited this charge over the last 15 months or 797 so to handle some of these organizational issues. Maybe we do need to look at storm water but we didn't change one part of 798 storm water from the previous code. There are other areas we did not change at all as well, so had a focused effort here. I would 799 say out of my staff, I'm not the best expert on this and I don't know 100% of this. I don't expect the Planning Board to know 800 100% either. That is not your complete role. I'd like the Board to feel comfortable with it but knowing that they're probably not 801 the practitioner of it in their entirety as we implement this one as a development issue comes forward that's when we get your 802 read on specific issues and things like that. I think the Board has done a excellent job trying to get their arms around this but if 803 Board members sleep on this, that's probably more than you have to do. You have to feel comfortable with it. 804 805 Larry Wright: I would like to move this document forward right in the hands of the Commissioners. There are problems with this 806 that I can see. For example, 2.8.6 to me reads like it removes the Board of County Commissioners from the process before the 807 Quarterly Public Hearing, 2.9.1 to me ambiguous from reading through the telecommunications towers sections, it looks like 808 public notice putting up the balloon and notification of neighborhoods seems to be diminished or decreased. This is the way 1 809 read it. I have sign ordinances, I really would have to have a lot of study on the previous, l just don't know what has changed in 810 sign ordinances. Ok, so the Commissioner have said and mandated to us that we are to push forward and we're not to look for a 811 perfect document. I say then they can have it in its imperfections we have three to five meetings to hand them the best that we 812 can give it with our time. I think we have spent ample time and energy and anxiety over this. I say I am willing to move this 813 forward back to the hands of the Commissioners and if they don't like the job that we have done then they can give us some 814 more consul and advice and tell us what they want with the document that they have. They are the ones that ultimately have to 815 answer to the public we are an advisory board. That the discussion, does staff have anything else to say? 816 817 Perdita Holtz: I have something that I need to say because you are about to vote on the full document with the revisions that are 818 in attachment two and I want to fully disclose that there are some minor things that have happened that is in your attachment two 819 that we did not talk about and I want to take five minutes and go through this so you are fully aware. In trying to make a perfect 820 document we did a recheck and if you look on page 45 of your packet, we discovered that there were seven definitions in the 821 body of the Zoning Ordinance that need to be added to the definitions section. Those are existing definitions. On the EDD 822 Permitted Use table which is on page 57 to 65 we made a modification to make it clear that projects that had needed a PD 823 designation would now require a Conditional Use designation. That is just a clarifying thing we wanted to make it clear. The 824 UDO graphics on page 67 through 77 in this packet are graphics that were noted in the November 2010 draft as being subject to 825 revision or are suggested by staff for minor revisions and these graphics that are on 67 to 77 will replace the graphics in the 826 printed UDO document. The last thing on page 79, there are seven minor text modifications that there is an explanation for each 827 of those text modifications to make it clear on why we were suggesting these modifications. We believe that all these 828 modifications make it more clear on what is expected as people would read and go what about this and we want to be clear on 829 what is expected in the Economic Development District there are specific uses that require a Conditional Use Permit for instance. 830 There is now text to say that so it is very clear that it is required. I just wanted to bring this to your attention that there are some 831 staff recommended clarifying text amendments that are not in the November 2010 draft that were going to bring forward at public 832 hearing and you should be aware. 833 834 Alan Campbell: Let the record reflect that my motion was intended to cover everything that was presented in our packet which 1 835 did review before the meeting. 836 837 MOTION: Alan Campbell made a motion to approve the UDO with all the changes presented to the Planning Board through 838 tonight meeting as is to be presented to the Board of County Commissioners as an official approval from the Planning Board. 839 Seconded by Tommy McNeill. 840 VOTE: 7 -1 (Becker opposed) 841 842 May Becker: I feel there are fundamental sections that we haven't had a chance to discuss and I would feel more comfortable 843 knowing what is in them. Again, if there are minor details that need to be moved and clarified down the line that seems like 844 something reasonable but if fundamental sections that we haven't looked at and discussed and talked about, I don't want to vote 845 for something when I don't know what s in it. 846 847 Larry Wright: I really would like to thank staff. This has not been easy. I really have learned a lot in this process by staff and 848 members here. Thank you very much each of you. 849 850 Tommy McNeill: I would like to address one concern. I've asked several citizens of Orange County to serve on some of the 851 vacant seats that we have here in the County on the service or advisory boards. One of the concerns, the overwhelming 852 concern that I keep hearing, is that they'd love to serve, they're professionals like we are, but the meetings tend to not end on 853 time. They don't handle the time management component of it very well. I love service, I think its a noble thing to do for the 14
