33 <br />DRAFT <br />52 fellow citizens. At any time, should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this <br />53 public charge, the Chair will ask the offending member to leave the meeting until that individual <br />54 regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meeting <br />55 until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. <br />56 <br />57 <br />58 AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS <br />59 <br />60 Pete Hallenbeck: In your packet we had the summary of things people had talked about regarding directions to go <br />61 for the LIDO and the Planning Board and I also enclosed 3 pages on what I have been thinking about with regard to <br />62 emergency services and home occupations. I don't really want to discuss those tonight. I put those in there so <br />63 you could see an example of what I'd like to see from members. We have the first step, things we're interested in, <br />64 I'd like as a second step to get more specific things. What I am purposing is that I'll take all that and condense it in <br />65 and then we can all read it and when it's time to discuss it, we have input from everyone and we've read it in <br />66 advance. It should be a wonderful discussion. <br />67 <br />68 Lisa Stuckey: Are you going to send an email asking for us to submit it. <br />69 <br />70 Pete Hallenbeck: Yes, I'll do that. <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 Agenda Item 7: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT AMENDMENT - To make a recommendation to <br />74 the BOCC on government- initiated amendments to the text of the LIDO to modify existing <br />75 language to provide additional reference to land disturbance thresholds related to stormwater <br />76 management standards. This item was heard at the February 25, 2013 quarterly public <br />77 hearing and was discussed by the Planning Board at its March 6 meeting. <br />78 Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor <br />79 <br />80 <br />81 Michael Harvey: As you will recall last month we began looking at a purposed LIDO text amendment where we <br />82 were wrestling with the notion of providing appropriate reference to recently approved stormwater management <br />83 guidelines. In doing this we identified several options and we were directed by the elected officials to get input from <br />84 OWASA. At last month's meeting there was a unanimous consensus amongst the Planning Board that option C <br />85 was the preferred method. This option has been incorporated into the proposed amendment package you are <br />86 reviewing this evening and has staff approval as well. What will happen now when you develop your property for a <br />87 residential use, the way this now reads, is if you reach the stormwater land disturbance thresholds that we have <br />88 provided on page 18 of your packet, you will have to produce a site specific development plan. The Ordinance also <br />89 now contains language indicating you are going to show us everything on that one site specific development plan <br />90 so that erosion control and current planning are looking at the same document. What we're hoping also is that <br />91 health is going to be looking at that same document so the three agencies that are clearly concerned about land <br />92 development and environmental protection are all going to be working from the same central document. We have <br />93 eliminated the 6% requirement, with respect to serving as a trigger for the submission of a professionally prepared <br />94 site plan, all together. Our opinion on the validity of this recommendation is bolstered by the fact that in attachment <br />95 3 of your packet, we have a letter from OWASA basically saying we don't care. <br />96 <br />97 Michael Harvey: A couple of clarifying points, as you will recall this doesn't change impervious surface limits. One <br />98 of the concerns expressed by Commissioner Gordon at the quarterly public hearing is that we are going to be <br />99 lessening the protections for the University Lake both Critical and Protected overlay districts. This is simply not <br />100 true. 6% is still the impervious surface limit for this area of the County. There was a question at the last Planning <br />101 Board Meeting, what happens if you get your plot plan from an applicant and you think it's over its impervious <br />102 surface allotment. Staff can still require, per the UDO, a formally prepared site plan. We have done that on a few <br />K <br />
