1 1~~~ V ~~ S I S 1 substantial impact on the County, I think we really need to be sure we are smart about what the 2 different phases are, components are, and the risks we run if it's going to stretch over a period 3 of time. The other thing is I think we're all challenged by this kind of overlapping situation with 4 the rezoning plus the permits and everything on top of it. I understand that if you're asking for 5 certain kinds of legislative determinations here, you can't get something that's incredibly so 6 specific that if the approval goes in and then somebody else acquires this ????? and really tie 7 their hands. l hope you appreciate where we sit that, to the degree that these are very open 8 categories and things like that, it's very difficult to figure out our appropriate balance of 9 responsibility with regard to specificity and things that need to be nailed down. I just would say 10 that I think we are all doing our best to take it very seriously and I know the developers here 11 have done sophisticated projects like Meadowmont and so forth, but the more you can work 12 with us with this, given that it's a new structure that we don't have a lot of benchmarks about 13 ways in which to deal with these overlapping considerations and the phasing, we're all better off. 14 I feel troubled by what feels like a somewhat blank check as to something that is really major, 15 especially in our economic times. I think that we all need to be very careful in thinking that 16 through. I know that you have a very talented team there that's doing a lot with this, but for - T7 ~ example, if it's true that the State is going to be strapped for monayfor various reasons because 18 - of the downturn in the economy that we all know is coming, then assumptions about State 19 'money for transportation availability, economic incentives, one thing or another, I think those are 20 all pretty up in the air kinds of notions. I wish there were a way to deal with this, and l think we 21 can,' but I'm just raising the notion, if it were districts a piece at a time,. I would feel better so that 22 everything isn't hinged all the way out. 23 24 Jay Bryan: Two questions I think, possibly for the attorney about the process. In terms of the 25 two issues that are before the Commissioners, the and the SUP application, what materials are 26 to be considered by the boards? Z7 . 28 Geof Gledhill: All of it. The rezoning is a legislative decision to consider everything that's been 29 presented to you in written form, of ali of the statements, just about everything that's 30 reasonable. 31 32 Jay Bryan: And then with regard to the application itself is there a distinction between what is 33 to be considered in terms of what the applicant submits to us. With regard to say, the 34 application materials that have been submitted, are those considered the total application that's 35 to be approved or not approved? 36 37 Geof Gledhill: For the special use permit aspect of this, the application I think is in front of you, 38 was introduced to you. Other additional written materials have been offered and put into the 39 record. Testimony of witnesses, most of the testimony that I've heard doesn't go the special 40 use permit issue, it goes more towards the rezoning issue. But to the degree that the testimony 41 is, for example, expert testimony from Mr. Knight concerning property value certainly goes to the 42 special use permit. 43 44 Jay Bryan: If there's an approval of the application, is that an approval of all of the statements 45 that are made in the application, that we approve everything that's in this document regarding alf 46 of the proposals. 47 48~ Geof Gledhill: I think at the end of the day, what you're going to have in front of you is the 49 special use permif that incorporates whatever it is that's in the application materials, whatever it 50 is that's been testified to that needs to be there for the special use permit. 51 1~.
