46 <br />DRAFT <br />55 selective enforcement. I think when you have enforcement, you enforce those are not in compliance but the <br />56 enforcement actions and the litigation etc. that will follow will take precious time from the planning department and <br />57 the legal hypothesis of the County on this and I question that in the area of minor home occupation. I think with that <br />58 I'll let others comment. <br />59 <br />60 Herman Staats: I have no comments, I thought it was nicely done and it has been discussed here many times so 1 <br />61 have no other comments. <br />62 <br />63 James Lea: No comments at this time. <br />64 <br />65 Buddy Hartley: I don't have any problems with the standards set. <br />66 <br />67 Maxecine Mitchell: I agree with them. <br />68 <br />69 Tony Blake: I reread it and I don't have any issues with it. I think it is well put together. <br />70 <br />71 Johnny Randall: I read it and I couldn't find anything of concern. However, what Paul just brought up, so in terms of <br />72 people not conforming to these regulations, how is it going to be enforced? Is it going to just create contempt for <br />73 the law for people who don't think they can be caught? <br />74 <br />75 Pete Hallenbeck: Let me throw my two cents on that and then see what Michael says. I think what you said is very <br />76 true. You have all these ordinances and there are always people who are going to fly under the radar and do what <br />77 they want but I think part of the goal here is that if somebody is doing that and it is bothering their neighbors there is <br />78 a recourse. I don't know how you get people to follow the rules, it is very difficult, but I do like the fact that at least <br />79 they are there. It is very difficult to call out a neighbor, it's a catch22, we all want to be able to do what we can but <br />80 we like to be able to stop someone else if it is bothersome to us. <br />81 <br />82 Pete Hallenbeck: Michael, does that pretty much jive with what...... <br />83 <br />84 Michael Harvey: I'm not going to add anything. Thank you though. <br />85 <br />86 Pete Hallenbeck: I have two things, one is a question about 5.4.3 special events where it talks about arts and <br />87 cultural special events in particular it calls out the Orange County Open Studio Tour. The other thing that I am <br />88 familiar with is the farm tour. <br />89 <br />90 Ashley Moncado: That is exempt, that would be considered part of a bona fide farm and considered agricultural <br />91 and covered under a different set of rules. <br />92 <br />93 Tony Blake: But that just an example. <br />94 <br />95 Ashley Moncado: Yes, it is being used as an example. That was specifically called out as an example but also to <br />96 highlight it as well. <br />97 <br />98 Pete Hallenbeck: That's fine but by throwing it in there seemed odd to have an ordinance call out a specific event <br />99 instead of making it in general so I wanted to make sure it was an example. <br />100 <br />101 Ashley Moncado: We could add "for example ". <br />102 <br />103 Paul Guthrie: That's about a 100, anywhere from 90 to 120 artists, who once a year open up their studios in their <br />104 residences by in large for the tour over two day for two weeks. Every one of those artists will have to pay $90. <br />105 <br />106 Pete Hallenbeck: So does this get back to your $90 concern then? <br />107 <br />108 Paul Guthrie: That's one of them but it's much more delicate than that. <br />2 <br />
