27 <br /> Approved 7/1/2015 <br /> 148 <br /> 149 Pete Hallenbeck: That's where your submittal requirements came from the state law? <br /> 150 <br /> 151 Ashley Moncado: Yes, all of this is the state law. We cannot change it if it's not identical it's very similar. <br /> 152 <br /> 153 Paul Guthrie: The owner of the property has to be a NC resident and the recipient of the housing has to be <br /> 154 a NC resident. <br /> 155 <br /> 156 Ashley Moncado: Yes <br /> 157 <br /> 158 Paul Guthrie: The lawyers are going to have a field day with this one. <br /> 159 <br /> 160 Pete Hallenbeck: And it's going to cost you about$100,000. <br /> 161 <br /> 162 Craig Benedict: Whey you get a mandate from the state and you start trying to tweak it it's a slippery slope. <br /> 163 So we can resolve some of the options about having people not related by blood living in these accessory <br /> 164 structures. I would suggest let's get this statue, preemption of a lot of our other rules, put in and address <br /> 165 the other issues about being more flexible and not having the relationship stuff addressed by other portions <br /> 166 of the code. Right now how many people do we allow unrelated by blood in the house? <br /> 167 <br /> 168 Ashley Moncado: 3 <br /> 169 <br /> 170 Craig Benedict: Some places allow more than that so I mean there could be a case where you want to go <br /> 171 up to 4 or 5 so we would be suggesting other amendments to the code to allow housing opportunities that's <br /> 172 the new trend. I think we could make an amendment to this and the state says are you adhering to us and <br /> 173 we say yes and made it even better and they are like Orange County did something again to our <br /> 174 minimums. That's just an idea I think we can address other sections of the code and since the state is <br /> 175 asking for this almost verbatim it would be better to let this fly. <br /> 176 <br /> 177 Pete Hallenbeck: I don't want to take a bad idea and say we combed it's hair and put lipstick on it and now <br /> 178 it's good. <br /> 179 <br /> 180 Lydia Wegman: Craig, when you say address it in the code you would have to develop new amendments to <br /> 181 the code <br /> 182 <br /> 183 Craig Benedict: Yes <br /> 184 <br /> 185 Lydia Wegman:Added to the long list already <br /> 186 <br /> 187 Lisa Stuckey:You could do a completely identical parallel amendment to the code and just change the <br /> 188 things we like. We could have 2 of them sitting there. <br /> 189 <br /> 190 Pete Hallenbeck: I'll remind everybody that we have this dinner with the commissioners every year and <br /> 191 that's an opportunity to say here are areas that we think would be interesting to look at this might be a very <br /> 192 good thing to look at and now you're going to go through the right process instead of tweaking it and if this <br /> 193 goes away, we could still have our solution. <br /> 194 <br /> 195 Laura Nicholson: I withdraw my amendment request however this is a solution without a problem. It's a <br /> 196 unaffordable ridiculous thing but I am all for complying with state regulations. <br /> 4 <br />
