It would not be mandated from the staff. The following motion <br /> was acceptable to Strayhom and the Board: Strayhom moved that the Board accept the staff s recommendation to <br /> approve the Concept Plan for Richmond Hills Subdivision,with the change of language in item#16 to read that <br /> dedication to a Homeowners Association or Orange County should be the decision of the applicant. <br /> Chair Barrows made reference to the bottom of page 12,and said that it should say,"the Board is to pass this on to <br /> the Orange County Board of Commissioners for their decision,"since they do not know if the County <br /> Commissioners are going to approve anything. <br /> MOTION: Katz moved approval of the October 6, 1999 minutes with corrections. Seconded by Strayhom. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous <br /> AGENDA ITEM#4: COMMISSIONERS' MEETINGS ACTION REPORTS <br /> Benedict explained that work is in process to get information on Board of Commissioners' actions/decisions more <br /> easily and quickly. <br /> AGENDA ITEM#5: PUBLIC CHARGE <br /> AGENDA ITEM#6: CHAIR COMMENTS <br /> Chair.Bar-rows reiterated that the Planning Board members have a responsibility to come to the meeting.
