It would be problematic to say that you <br />cannot do conditional use in these areas because it would be a big change to the subdivision <br />process as it currently exists. <br />Commissioner Jacobs thanked staff and the Planning Board for their work. <br />Commissioner Jacobs made a friendly amendment to the motion to delete the words, <br />"ensure that substantial justice is done." <br />Commissioner Yuhasz said that he does not want to wordsmith this document and he <br />cannot be in favor of not ensuring substantial justice. He said that this can be addressed in <br />Phase 2. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he would be satisfied if someone made a note about <br />this for Phase 2. <br />VOTE: Ayes, 6; Nay, 1(Commissioner Gordon) <br />Chair Pelissier echoed what Commissioner Jacobs said to the Planning Board and she <br />suggested that, on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, she write a letter to the Chair <br />of the Planning Board thanking them for their work on the UDO.
