23 <br /> area planning group would ce=tainly involve the <br /> Township Advisory Council. <br /> Brown expressed concern with the apparent rush to <br /> deal with the permitted use table. She continued <br /> that she felt the permitted uses should be <br /> addressed in the small area plan as part of the <br /> community input. Willis responded that these are <br /> purposely set up as two separate items. She <br /> continued that the permitted uses in AS are more <br /> widely applicable throughout the County. Thus, it <br /> is a much larger issue. <br /> In terms of dealing with a small area plan, there <br /> are more things that are specific to a particular <br /> area. <br /> Brown asked what issue about the AS district that <br /> all of the groups are to address. Willis <br /> responded that was from the comments at the <br /> public hearing; those items that address <br /> agriculture, horticulturee silvaculture types of <br /> uses. Willis continued that the directive from <br /> the Commissioners at the public hearing was for <br /> the Planning Board to review the permitted uses. <br /> Brown emphasized that she felt defining storage <br /> in more detail would address the issue. <br /> Price stated that she felt the Board was going to <br /> be constantly confronted with definitions. The <br /> issue of the small area planning group should <br /> move ahead and not wait on other issues. The <br /> group could very specifically define its <br /> recommendations. <br /> Hoecke stated that he felt there were two <br /> separate issues because the definition of AS is a <br /> more general one. The small area planning group <br /> could define more clearly what is compatible with <br /> the area and what is not. <br /> Walters expressed agreement with Willis that the <br /> permitted uses for an AS district are county- <br /> wide, not just specific to the White Cross Area. <br /> Brown again questioned whether the permitted use <br /> table should be addressed at this time and how it <br /> would affect the small area planning process. <br /> Price expressed concern--that the small area <br /> planning group should move ahead since the <br /> Planning Board already has the charge from the <br /> Commissioners to study the permitted use table <br /> for AS district. <br />
