John Roberts: You don't have to read each bullet. If you want to site the page number and <br /> the bulleted information, I'm comfortable that it's adequate to defend this in the event of any <br /> litigation. <br /> Commissioner McKee: Then I have one more sentence to read at the top of page 139. This <br /> motion is based on competent material and evidence entered into the record of these <br /> proceedings, including the bullets listed on the top % of page 139 of Attachment 7. <br /> • The August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing agenda packet and the October 3, 2012 <br /> Planning Board agenda packet containing the following information: <br /> • The application package and project narrative contained within Attachment 1 of the August <br /> 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing package. <br /> • A letter from Joe Lyle, real estate broker, indicating the project will not impact the value of <br /> adjacent property contained within Attachment 1 of the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public <br /> Hearing package. <br /> • The environmental report contained within Attachment 1 of the August 27, 2012 Quarterly <br /> Public Hearing package <br /> • Various letters from the State Department of Cultural Resources indicating no significant <br /> impact as the result of the proposed development contained within Attachment 1 of the August <br /> 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing package. <br /> • Staff memorandum contained within Attachment 3 of the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public <br /> Hearing package. <br /> • Applicant, engineer, and staff testimony from the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing <br /> and the October 3, 2012 Planning Board meeting. <br /> • The applicants letters, dated September 25, 2012 and October 2, 2012, addressing <br /> questions about the project. and <br /> • A lack of competent material and substantial evidence entered into the record demonstrating <br /> the project's lack of compliance with established standards. <br /> If the motion is to find there is insufficient evidence in the record to find the project is in <br /> compliance with Section 5.3.2 (A) (2) (a), the Commissioner making the motion will have to <br /> specifically denote what is absent and explain what, if any, evidence is in the record disputing <br /> the claims of the applicant that they are in compliance with Section 5.3.2 (A) (2) (a). <br /> Commissioner Gordon: Again, I don't feel that there is enough competent material or <br /> substantial evidence in the record to meet the applicant's burden of proof. These are general <br /> findings and the others were specific. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs: I think that the fact that we asked for additional information that <br /> would have satisfied some of the Commissioners' concerns and it was not given shows that <br /> there is disrespect to the Commissioners, the residents, and the environment and we should <br /> not just accept that this is the way we do business in Orange County. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 5; Nays, 2 (Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Jacobs) <br /> ii. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Hemminger finding there is sufficient evidence in the record the project <br /> complies with Section 5.3.2 (A) (2) (b) of the UDO in that the use will maintain <br /> the value of contiguous property. This motion is based on competent material <br />
