7 1 Chair Jacobs said he is excited about the potential for this expansion. He said he is 2 somewhat confused about the answer given about the requirement for sewer hookup. He said 3 he wanted to provide this answer to Ronald Keiser as part of his planning. 4 Craig Benedict said this is a timing issue. He said if the expansion happens at a later 5 date when sewer is available, the owner can hook with the public sewer. He said Ronald Keiser 6 can repair his existing septic. 7 8 A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Price to: 9 10 1. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned 11 to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the November 5, 2013 BOCC regular 12 meeting. 13 2. Adjourn the public hearing until November 5, 2013 in order to receive and accept the 14 Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. 15 16 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 17 18 3. Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment—To review government- 19 initiated amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to add a new Section 2.24 20 entitled Governmental Uses, renumber existing Section 2.24 and subsequent sections 21 accordingly, and modify the `government' land use category within Section 5.2.2 Table of 22 Permitted Uses— Economic Development District to add the term `uses'. References to 23 renumbered sections occur throughout the UDO and are proposed to be updated. 24 25 Michael Harvey reviewed the attachments to the abstract. He said the potential 26 development of a fire department substation off Neville Road has caused some concern for 27 local residents. He said staff was directed to initiate a text amendment to require a 28 neighborhood information meeting prior to the approval of any site plans proposing the 29 development of government use. 30 He said this requires the applicant to hold this meeting so that property owners within 31 500 feet can attend the meeting to gather information and offer feedback. 32 He said the applicant has to respond to concerns or suggestions offered at the meeting, 33 and the public must be informed by certified mail of the date and time of the meeting. 34 He noted that this amendment does not alter the current review process for government 35 uses. He said this does not require the Board to hold additional public hearings with respect to 36 the decision to purchase or act on the purchase of property. He said this also does not require 37 County agencies that engage in long range planning project planning to duplicate efforts by 38 holding informational meetings about projects that have already been reviewed and discussed 39 at the public level. He gave the example of a recent park planning project. 40 He said if this is adopted any time a government use is defined, the table of permitted 41 uses will be developed, neighborhood meetings will held, and planning staff will encourage the 42 applicant to address as many concerns as he/she sees fit. 43 He noted that the purpose of this is to insure that local residents are aware of what is 44 happening in the vicinity with regard to government facilities. 45 He said Ordinance Review Committee comments were positive with a few noted 46 changes and input from other departments. 47 He reviewed the staff recommendations as outlined in the abstract. 48 Pete Hallenbeck asked for questions 49 Commissioner Gordon said she wanted to point out the background on the first page, 50 which outlines the fact that a permitted use only requires staff review and action. She said 51 neither the County nor the applicant is required to notify adjacent property owners. She said 52 this is a fire station, which is for the public good. She said that neighbors still had concerns, and 53 she feels that neighborhood meetings and outreach are a good idea.
