28 <br /> Approved 7/1/2015 <br /> 197 <br /> 198 Tony: 1 question for Mike, this temporary structure does this count against your impervious surface? <br /> 199 <br /> 200 Michael Harvey: Everything counts against your impervious surface if it meets the definition. <br /> 201 <br /> 202 Paul Guthrie: Between the septic laws and the impervious surface, I think there can be lots of decisions <br /> 203 made on the process. <br /> 204 <br /> 205 Lydia Wegman: Craig & Michael you mentioned co-housing and it sounds like some discussion is going on, <br /> 206 is that something this could incude addressing this problem that we're talking about? <br /> 207 <br /> 208 Craig Benedict: Yes. I think this could go true we have new initiatives about affordable housing about small <br /> 209 housing but we've been trying to describe these new housing opportunities out there. Are they mobile <br /> 210 homes, are they RVs, are they micro houses, we will be presenting to the commissioners probably in <br /> 211 September of this year. These other type of housing options would address bringing the parents back in the <br /> 212 house. We're into that process, we would expect getting a green light to address some of those issues in <br /> 213 September or October and bringing forward later this year. <br /> 214 <br /> 215 Lydia Wegman:And would that kind of thing come to the planning board fi the commissioners said go? <br /> 216 <br /> 217 Craig Benedict: Yes, definitely. <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Lydia Wegman: Thank you. <br /> 220 <br /> 221 Pete Hallenbeck: We have a statement of consistency to vote on and it says this isn't against what's in the <br /> 222 comprehensive plan. It addresses a .25%improvement on that plan. We'll need a motion to vote on that <br /> 223 and then vote on the specific amendment items here. We'll make a recommendation to the BOCC on the <br /> 224 statement of consistency that yes we think it is consistent. <br /> 225 <br /> 226 MOTION made by: Buddy Hartley. Seconded by: Bryant Warren <br /> 227 <br /> 228 Lydia Wegman: Housing goal #2—Housing that is useable by as many people as possible regardless of <br /> 229 age, ability or circumstances but this is only useable by one person <br /> 230 <br /> 231 Tony Blake: 1 income <br /> 232 <br /> 233 Laura Nicholson: it also says affordable housing earlier in that. <br /> 234 <br /> 235 Lydia Wegman: I don't think it's consistent so is m going to vote No. <br /> 236 <br /> 237 Pete Hallenbeck: The comprehensive plan and the UDO are often in conflict with each other. <br /> 238 <br /> 239 Lydia Wegman: I know that. <br /> 240 <br /> 241 Pete Hallenbeck: We want affordable housing and we want sidewalks. <br /> 242 <br /> 243 Lydia Wegman: I realize that I will just note this requirement to vote on consistency is an empty <br /> 244 requirement because as you say Pete, there's always a lot of inconsistent things in the comprehensive plan <br /> 245 and you could find something to support almost any position in the plan. <br /> 5 <br />
