Approved 8/1/07 Craufurd Goodwin: Is this the place for it? Jay Bryan: That is a good point. My interest and experience is that we don't have guidance on this general issue. Bernadette Pelissier: I was on that task force and that was a very big issue. I went through the task force report and what we may have missed. It is a global people relationship goal. I see it as an overarching goal. We want to have people to have a sense of community. Brian Crawford: My concern is, based on the words that require definition itself; it is whole education process so that everyone can understand what we are saying. This sounds like a principle which should be our approach for every element. We strive for a community process. Jay Bryan: I appreciate your time and thoughts. It's mentioned in one of the principles. Renee Price: I understand what you are trying to accomplish. Tom did try to incorporate many of them into the process. We may want to address that when we get into the process. There is another level which is human relations. Sandra Quinn: I know that community character is mentioned but the way it is mentioned is buildings. This is a feeling and that is why it is hard to define. It is matter of coming together as a community of people versus only buildings. Jay Bryan: I could get another copy of the article to you if needed. Donna can email a copy to you. We can check into adding it to the Comprehensive Plan website. Agenda Item 10: COURTESY REVIEW Presenter: Gene Bell, Planner III Gene Bell: Tonight's report is afollow-up to a courtesy review discussion at March 7, 2007 meeting. At that meeting, the Planning Board Chair handed out copies of "Points for Courtesy review" (pages 61-62). I have tried to address the 10 points in tonight's report. An issue intertwined in courtesy review discussions is annexation and to a lesser extent, extraterritorial jurisdiction, or ETJ. In the short term, we feel it would be helpful for the Planning Board to receive a report on these issues. Staff could prepare with review by the County Attorney's ofFce. It might be advisable to have the County Attorney or his assistant at an upcoming meeting when these issues are discussed. Several points mention incorporating Courtesy Review requirements into our ordinances and this could be done with a series of steps. Basically, a recommendation from the Planning Board, review by the Board of County Commissioners, referral to staff to draft appropriate language, review by the County Attorney, draft reviewed by the Planning Board, referred back to the Board of County Commissioners, to Public Hearing and then back to the Planning Board for recommendation, and Board of Gounty Commissioners for approval. Finally, as mentioned in the abstract, an expanded system of courtesy review would be good topic for discussion at a BOCC/Planning Board work session. The next joint meeting is scheduled for November 13~. Renee Price: Are you trying to get a change in our Courtesy Review Process? Jay Bryan: Yes. ` Renee Price: Would you hope to talk to the Board of County Commissioners and work with them on it? 7
