68 <br /> Approved 5/7/14 <br /> 217 general approach or attitude of the county Paul, I want to address your$90 fee is too much, my understanding is <br /> 218 that every time you apply for a permit in the county there is a fee and the goal is the person doing things in <br /> 219 generating pays for that as opposed to all the taxpayers subsidizing On the$90 too much,this may be the nature of <br /> 220 the stuff I get into There may be some businesses that are a substantial percentage you are spending to get into the <br /> 221 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 <br /> 222 about the balance. I have read every page of these changes and I think this whole process has an incredible amount <br /> 223 of input from the Planning Board and the BOCC I really like the major and minor home use. James, with your <br /> 224 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 <br /> 225 the fact this protects the rural buffer by not allowing the major home occupations. I am happy to go with this <br /> 226 recommendation because it is a good step forward There is always the opportunity to modify the UDO <br /> 227 <br /> 228 Tony Blake: Is there a regulation for home-based businesses involving hazardous material or above and beyond <br /> 229 what is stored at a residence. <br /> 230 <br /> 231 Ashley Moncado. There is language in"Uses Not Permitted"that does not include all uses that would be unsuitable. <br /> 232 <br /> 233 Michael Harvey. That is addressed in the UDO and other regulations. <br /> 234 <br /> 235 James Lea: Comparing minor and major home occupations, I have a tax service and I am not on five acres of land <br /> 236 however, at certain times of the year,there may be 20 or more people to come to my house to get tax service,where <br /> 237 does my service fall under? <br /> 238 <br /> 239 Ashley Moncado Most likely, it would be minor <br /> 240 <br /> 241 James Lea: Then it limits the number of people who come to my house? <br /> 242 <br /> 243 Ashley Moncado Correct. You could operate the business but you could only have up to six-customer visit per day <br /> 244 <br /> 245 James Lea: Isn't it that restrictive. This part to me is too restrictive. <br /> 246 <br /> 247 Pete Hallenbeck: It gets back to the balance concept. You are concerned there may be some home occupations <br /> 248 that may have a peak load for relative short periods of time and this could keep those businesses from happening <br /> 249 <br /> 250 Andrea Rohrbacher Where do corn mazes fit in? <br /> 251 <br /> 252 Ashley Moncado They would most likely be exempt because they are agritourism. <br /> 253 <br /> 254 Pete Hallenbeck: At this point let's see if anyone cares to move for a recommendation to accept the planning <br /> 255 director's recommendation and we can take a vote on it. James, this is where you can make a decision to say no <br /> 256 and I want to emphasize that commissioners do pay attention to these. You are worried about seasonal variances <br /> 257 and you believe things related to automobiles should be allowed. <br /> 258 <br /> 259 James Lea: I would like to make it part of the record that I am concerned about that. I think it should be allowed I <br /> 260 understand if you are in the city there may be concerns. Also, with the major and minor home occupation, I have <br /> 261 problems with some of them. <br /> 262 <br /> 263 MOTION made by Paul Guthrie that the proposal lie on the table. Seconded by James Lea. <br /> 264 <br /> 265 Pete Hallenbeck: You are proposing that we not accept the planning director's recommendation? Is that correct? <br /> 266 <br /> 267 Paul Guthrie. That would be the ultimate outcome but that was not my motion My motion was we leave it on the <br /> 268 table. <br /> 269 <br /> 5 <br />
