4 1 Discussion ensued about the timeline and it was answered that the May or August 2013 2 QPH would be reasonable to bring the final ordinance. 3 Chair Pelissier made reference to the Class II kennel and said that the keeping of more 4 than five animals seems stringent. She would like some discussion about this. 5 Michael Harvey said that he would need to work with Bob Marotto on the numbers to 6 ensure that they are consistent between the ordinances. 7 Commissioner Yuhasz said that before the County Commissioners make a commitment 8 to bring something to a public hearing, he thinks that the Planning Board should discuss this. 9 He would like to hear this discussion before making a decision to bring something to a public 10 hearing. 11 The Board agreed. 12 13 3. Specific Policies for Board of County Commissioner Advisory Boards 14 The Board reviewed the final drafts of the board-specific policies for six advisory boards. 15 Chair Pelissier said that the non-substantive comments could be submitted to the 16 County Attorney. 17 John Roberts said that this was initially submitted in April or May. There were many 18 comments, but one of the comments that everyone agreed on was that the specific policies 19 need to be shorter and only need to reflect differences that are absolutely necessary. He let 20 the departments know that and the departments made the changes. These policies generally 21 reflect goals and purposes of each individual board, membership on the board, and when the 22 meetings will be. 23 24 OUT Board 25 Darcy Zorio, staff support for the OUT Board, came forward. 26 Commissioner Gordon asked how the policies were configured. John Roberts said that 27 each of the policies is in the same format, but each one will look different because of the 28 differences in each board. 29 Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 2, #2 in the OUT Board policy and said 30 that it should say, "in such instances, the OUT Board shall send its recommendations to the 31 Planning Board." She asked what duty the OUT Board has to the Board of County 32 Commissioners. 33 Darcy Zorio said that the recommendations go directly to the Board of County 34 Commissioners. 35 Commissioner Gordon said that, in that case, it should say, "the OUT Board shall send 36 its recommendations to the Planning Board, with a copy to the County Commissioners." 37 Commissioner Gordon made reference to the Goals and Objectives, #3, the first 38 objective, and requested that it say, "identify and provide prioritization recommendations on the 39 County's roadway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian needs." 40 John Roberts asked if the Board agreed with this change. 41 Commissioner Hemminger said that she would like the recommendations broken out 42 into two pieces — Planning Board and County Commissioners. 43 Commissioner Yuhasz said that if the County Commissioners have requested that the 44 OUT Board advise the Planning Board, then that recommendation goes to the Planning Board 45 and whatever comes up from the Planning Board will include what the OUT Board 46 recommended. He does not think that the County Commissioners need to get a separate 47 recommendation. 48 Chair Pelissier said that if the County Commissioners asked for it, then it will see it 49 through the Planning Board. She thinks that this will be taken care of.
