36 <br /> Tony Blake: What.differentiates the person at the end of my road who has 40 acres and a grading contracting <br /> business, not residential from the guy up the street who is a plumber with 30 acres and a separate barn that he <br /> stores supplies in? <br /> Michael Harvey: I would make the argument that the way the regulations are currently written that you don't want <br /> people going back and forth getting tools and supplies. <br /> Lisa Stuckey: It doesn't make sense. I struggle with this 3,000 square feet size accessory building and use. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Currently this ordinance is saying we don't want construction things getting out of hand but we <br /> are going to allow artists, lawyers and engineers. Those are what we want to have for home occupations. <br /> Paul Guthrie: Isn't it true that anybody existing will be grandfathered in under the law? <br /> Michael Harvey: If you are doing it now, it is illegal. <br /> Paul Guthrie: This is an anti-small business regulation. <br /> Michael Harvey: I think that is a very gross misrepresentation of this regulation. <br /> Craig Benedict: We are trying to balance what people expect in a neighborhood. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: It sounds like there are many people here who are saying these changes are good you are <br /> questioning this broad restriction of construction practices. If anyone wants to write that up for the BOCC,we can <br /> include that in the package to them. <br /> Perdita Holtz: There are other options; people can apply for a zoning change for a conditional use district. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Let us leave that to the hearing, to present that and other options. <br /> 2 <br />
