M DRAFT 214 Ashley Moncado: I would not think so. You don't have people visit you on site and there is no advertisement on that 215 property. 216 217 Pete Hallenbeck: It has come up that large properties are favored and I think that is a natural outcome of the goal of 218 trying to have a balance because when you have a large property, you have to make a lot more noise when you are 219 on a large property. We have talked about enforcement and it is complaint driven. We have some idea of the 220 general approach or attitude of the county. Paul, I want to address your $90 fee is too much, my understanding is 221 that every time you apply for a permit in the county there is a fee and the goal is the person doing things in 222 generating pays for that as opposed to all the taxpayers subsidizing. On the $90 too much, this may be the nature of 223 the stuff I get into. There may be some businesses that are a substantial percentage you are spending to get into the 224 business but I think for a lot of people, you have a lot of other costs. I think the fee is reasonable. Herman, it is all 225 about the balance. I have read every page of these changes and I think this whole process has an incredible amount 226 of input from the Planning Board and the BOCC. I really like the major and minor home use. James, with your 227 comment, we can make a note of this and if you wish to vote against this and make a note of it, it will stand out. I like 228 the fact this protects the rural buffer by not allowing the major home occupations. I am happy to go with this 229 recommendation because it is a good step forward. There is always the opportunity to modify the UDO. 230 231 Tony Blake: Is there a regulation for home -based businesses involving hazardous material or above and beyond 232 what is stored at a residence. 233 234 Ashley Moncado: There is language in "Uses Not Permitted" that does not include all uses that would be unsuitable. 235 236 Michael Harvey: That is addressed in the UDO and other regulations. 237 238 James Lea: Comparing minor and major home occupations, I have a tax service and I am not on five acres of land 239 however, at certain times of the year, there may be 20 or more people to come to my house to get tax service, where 240 does my service fall under? 241 242 Ashley Moncado: Most likely, it would be minor. 243 244 James Lea: Then it limits the number of people who come to my house? 245 246 Ashley Moncado: Correct. You could operate the business but you could only have up to six - customer visit per day. 247 248 James Lea: Isn't it that restrictive. This part to me is too restrictive. 249 250 Pete Hallenbeck: It gets back to the balance concept. You are concerned there may be some home occupations 251 that may have a peak load for relative short periods of time and this could keep those businesses from happening. 252 253 Andrea Rohrbacher: Where do corn mazes fit in? 254 255 Ashley Moncado: They would most likely be exempt because they are agritourism. 256 257 Pete Hallenbeck: At this point let's see if anyone cares to move for a recommendation to accept the planning 258 director's recommendation and we can take a vote on it. James, this is where you can make a decision to say no 259 and I want to emphasize that commissioners do pay attention to these. You are worried about seasonal variances 260 and you believe things related to automobiles should be allowed. 261 262 James Lea: I would like to make it part of the record that I am concerned about that. I think it should be allowed. 1 263 understand if you are in the city there may be concerns. Also, with the major and minor home occupation, I have 264 problems with some of them. 265 266 MOTION made by Paul Guthrie that the proposal lie on the table. Seconded by James Lea. 267
