Discussion ensued about the height regulations. <br />Planning Board member Alan Campbell left at 9:21 p.m. <br />Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 343 and 344 and said that he <br />appreciates the chart on decibel levels. He thinks that the noise ordinance using decibels is a <br />failure because there is no good way to judge the noise. He is very hesitant to raise decibel <br />levels from what exists. <br />Commissioner Jacobs made reference to page 352 and asked that information that was <br />provided regarding Buckhorn Village and how much of a disturbance in the interstate buffer was <br />reasonable be provided. He said that this seems larger to him. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she appreciated the color-coding. She made reference <br />to page 310 and asked about the rationale for changing the requirements for something like a <br />public interest district. <br />Perdita Holtz said that Section 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 are going to be changed and will <br />potentially affect many zoning districts. The way things are referenced are changed and the <br />process is not changed at all. <br />Commissioner Gordon flagged this for now because it was not clear. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked several clarifying questions, which were answered by <br />Perdita Holtz. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs <br />to refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned to <br />the BOCC in time for the February 7, 2012 BOCC regular meeting. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Hemminger, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz <br />to adjourn the public hearing until February 7, 2012 in order to receive and accept the Planning <br />Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />D.
