39 <br /> 268 Andrea Rohrbacher: Even though Mr. Brough has stated there have been no complaints on this property, I know of <br /> 269 another property in Orange County, in the Town of Carrboro, where there is a compliant because there is less than <br /> 270 150 foot distance. <br /> 271 <br /> 272 Johnny Randall: Just because there are no complaints,we don't know why. <br /> 273 <br /> 274 Lisa Stuckey: We have two options in terms of proposed changes. Doesn't anyone want to move on Attachment 2 <br /> 275 or if we are going to consider this would it be Attachment 3? 1 would like to get Attachment 2 off the table if this is not <br /> 276 a viable option. We are taking Attachment 2 off the table. Attachment 2 was what Mr. Brough had written. <br /> 277 Attachment 3 language is what Michael Harvey wrote. Is there anyone who would like to make a motion? <br /> 278 <br /> 279 Craig Benedict: Attachment 3 is to approve the change. <br /> 280 <br /> 281 James Lea: This would apply to all Class 2 kennels? <br /> 282 <br /> 283 Michael Harvey: This only impacts kennels potentially in the EDE-2. When you have an EDE-2 and you want to put <br /> 284 a kennel on it, it if surrounded by EDE-2 zoning, the setback is 25 feet. <br /> 285 <br /> 286 Paul Guthrie: Is the recommendation of the staff that we vote no on that? <br /> 287 <br /> 288 Michael Harvey: Our recommendation is to deny the request. If you are going to approve it, use the language in <br /> 289 Attachment 3. <br /> 290 <br /> 291 MOTION by Andrea Rohrbacher not to adopt the change. Seconded by Johnny Randall. <br /> 292 VOTE: 6 Yes 2 No(Paul Guthrie,Tony Blake), <br /> 293 <br /> 294 Mr. Easterlin: We serviced 100,000 dogs in the last seven years. Someone has to take care of those dogs and we <br /> 295 have to have room to do it. We are not going to have dogs we cannot let out. I want you to understand we have <br /> 296 really done a job, My wife goes to work at 7:00 a.m. I just can't understand why when we take care of these <br /> 297 animals. <br /> 298 <br /> 299 Lisa Stuckey: It is clear we were all struggling with this. We make a recommendation and the final decision is made <br /> 300 by the BOCC. <br /> 301 <br /> 302 Craig Benedict: If you are voting on something, it shouldn't be about one person's property. That is why we have <br /> 303 such odd feelings. I tried to separate what is on the ground to what the general rules of decision-making are by <br /> 304 legislative bodies so it doesn't reduce itself. <br /> 305 <br /> 306 Paul Guthrie: I appreciate your comments but t.qe legislative procedure is both. It is matters of policy and impact and <br /> 307 the decision made in committees and every place I have been involved, both apply. When we come to a decision to <br /> 308 vote for or against a recommendation,it is a balancing act. <br /> 309 <br /> 310 Tony Blake: We lack the tools to make the right decision. It was all or nothing. In this case, I think their argument is <br /> 311 on but the problem is we can't make specific exceptions. We need the ability to do that. <br /> 312 <br /> 313 Michael Harvey: With all due respect, that is not this Board's role and function. That is the function of the Board of <br /> 314 Adjustment. <br /> 315 <br /> 316 Tony Blake: They were denied that avenue. <br /> 317 <br /> 318 Michael Harvey: They were not denied anything: even their own attorney admitted it was not viable. <br /> 319 <br /> 320 Lisa Stuckey: Maybe it should be. Maybe under these circumstances these people should have the opportunity to <br /> 321 continue their business but no one after them. If the business is sold, etc. I can see a situation where that area was <br /> 6 <br />
