11 1 be so bold as to possibly ask that it be referred back to your property marragement committee to 2 consider rotating the infield approximately 90 degrees, which would pull the infield with resulting 3 bleacher sections and associated infrastructure even further away from the property line. That 4 may have already been discussed. 5 Tony Whitaker: I can add some color to that if you wish. Thank you for that comment. It is a 6 consideration. I would say that in the discussions over the two and a half year period that you 7 heard mentioned, a lot of talk surrounding the location of the ball field and the orientation of the 8 ball field occurred. Essentially, the orientation that shows on the site plan now is the preferred 9 orientation for dealing with sun issues, etc., and it is also the orientation that the current ball field 10 on another part of the site enjoys. The school understands that orientation, they're used to it, 11 and they know how to plan their activities regarding that ball field. So, it is important from the 12 school's perspective to maintain that configuration. There are other meaningful ways to address 13 this concern, and the school is absolutely committed to doing that. 14 15 Chair Pelissier: There are four recommendations from the Planning Director. I'll entertain a 16 motion. 17 Commissioner Foushee: I move that we refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request 18 that a recommendation be returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the 19 February 21, 2012 BOCC regular meeting. 20 Commissioner Hemminger seconded. 21 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 22 Chair Pelissier: I believe we need another motion. 23 Commissioner McKee: I move we adjourn the public hearing until February 21, 2012 in order 24 to receive and accept the Planning Board recommendation and any submitted written 25 comments. 26 Commissioner Hemminger seconded. 25 27 VOTE: UNANIMOUS
