risk if the economy takes a downturn or something like that, how much of the overall financial <br /> potential here is leveraged against what the string of dominoes might be. This is going to have <br /> such a substantial impact on the County, I think we really need to be sure we are smart about <br /> what the different phases are, components are, and the risks we run if it's going to stretch over <br /> a period of time. The other thing is I think we're all challenged by is this kind of overlapping <br /> situation with the rezoning plus the permits and everything on top of it. I understand that if <br /> you're asking for certain kinds of legislative determinations here, you can't get something that's <br /> incredibly so specific that if the approval goes in and then somebody else acquires this property <br /> and you really tie their hands. I hope you appreciate where we sit that, to the degree that these <br /> are very open categories and things like that, it's very difficult to figure out our appropriate <br /> balance of responsibility with regard to specificity and things that need to be nailed down. I just <br /> would say that I think we are all doing our best to take it very seriously and I know the <br /> developers here have done sophisticated projects like Meadowmont and so forth. But the more <br /> you can work with us with this, given that it's a new structure that we don't have a lot of <br /> benchmarks about ways in which to deal with these overlapping considerations and the <br /> phasing, we're all better off. I feel troubled by what feels like a somewhat blank check as to <br /> something that is really major, especially in our economic times. I think that we all need to be <br /> very careful in thinking that through. I know that you have a very talented team there that's <br /> doing a lot with this, but for example, if it's true that the State is going to be strapped for money <br /> for various reasons because of the downturn in the economy that we all know is coming, then <br /> assumptions about State money for transportation availability, economic incentives, one thing or <br /> another, I think those are all pretty up in the air kinds of notions. I wish there were a way to deal <br /> with this, and I think we can, but I'm just raising the notion, if it were districts a piece at a time, I <br /> would feel better so that everything isn't hinged all the way out. <br /> Jay Bryan: Two questions I think, possibly for the attorney about the process. In terms of the <br /> two issues that are before the Commissioners, the rezoning and the SUP application, what <br /> materials are to be considered by the boards? <br /> Geof Gledhill: All of it. The rezoning is a legislative decision to consider everything that's been <br /> presented to you in written form, of all of the statements, just about everything that's <br /> reasonable. <br /> Jay Bryan: And then with regard to the application itself, is there a distinction between what is <br /> to be considered in terms of what the applicant submits to us. With regard to say, the <br /> application materials that have been submitted, are those considered the total application that's <br /> to be approved or not approved? <br /> Geof Gledhill: For the special use permit aspect of this, the application I think is in front of you, <br /> was introduced to you. Other additional written materials have been offered and put into the <br /> record. Testimony of witnesses, most of the testimony that I've heard doesn't go the special <br /> use permit issue, it goes more towards the rezoning issue. But to the degree that the testimony <br /> is, for example, expert testimony from Mr. Knight concerning property value certainly goes to the <br /> special use permit. <br /> Jay Bryan: If there's an approval of the application, is that an approval of all of the statements <br /> that are made in the application, that we approve everything that's in this document regarding all <br /> of the proposals. <br />
