Commissioner Yuhasz said that he did not see anything wrong with adding additional direction, but if there is potential conflict, then the ordinance should defer to the current language. Frank Clifton suggested adding in the grid axis option to the adoption. A motion was made by Commissioner Yuhasz, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to adopt a resolution with the suggested changes as shown on the PowerPoint, and to add the language from the existing ordinance to the proposed ordinance as suggested by Commissioner Gordon giving deference to the language in the proposed ordinance where there might be a conflict; and other language modifications amending Chapter 6, Article II, the current Building and Building Regulations sections of the Code of Ordinances, with the proposed Orange County Addressing and Road Naming Ordinance and authorize the Chair to sign. Commissioner Gordon added a friendly amendment that in Section 6-32 that the definitions be included regarding the road origin; that in Section 6-34 that the definitions be included regarding the language of the 75%; that in Section 6-35(d)-1 that the revised language on the axis be added from the handout; and that the changes be made to 6-35(b)-(g), and that, in doing so, if there is a conflict between the language that was proposed and the language that has been added, then the proposed language should take precedence. Commissioner Yuhasz accepted the friendly amendment and Commissioner Foushee seconded. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b.
