59 • Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the February 18, 2014 BOCC regular meeting. • Adjourn the public hearing until February 18, 2014 in order to receive and accept the Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Chair Jacobs asked if there is a list of the people who have home occupation permits. He asked if these people can be notified that an ordinance is being considered. He said the public hearing is adjourned, but perhaps these residents could attend the planning board meeting. He said it might be smart to anticipate the comments that could come after changes are made. Michael Harvey said any additional comments would need to be in writing, since the public hearing is closed. Chair Jacobs suggested sending post cards to notify residents of what is happening and directing them to a web address for submission of written comments. He said he recognizes that there may be thousands of these people. Ashley Moncado said staff will have to look at what resources are in place to be able to do this. Commissioner Gordon said she thinks this letter is a good idea. 2.
