20 <br /> Commissioner Price referred to the top of page 90, and said she had concerns about the <br /> required frontage. She said there are properties in the County that are accessed by an <br /> easement. <br /> Michael Harvey said the goal of this provision is to stipulate that if one is going to have a <br /> heightened level of traffic to access, what amounts to a commercial facility, then it ought to be <br /> done through a public road rather than a private road of a subdivision. He said if there is an <br /> easement, access across it should be properly negotiated. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs suggested amending the list of general standards for evaluation <br /> for recreational facilities from listing a variety of courts to using a global statement that covers <br /> multiple courts. <br /> Commissioner Price suggested further explanation be given to "turkey shoots, and other <br /> similar activities". <br /> Michael Harvey referred to page 89 where it says there is "nothing in this section shall <br /> be construed as prohibiting the holding of turkey shoots or other similar activities as a fundraiser <br /> or community event." He said the idea is a shooting event or fundraiser that can be held no <br /> more than twice a year on a given parcel of property. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if there are specifics that are seeking to be regulated. <br /> Michael Harvey said fund raising activities are not being regulated. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Pelissier, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br /> approve: <br /> 1. Referring the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned <br /> to the BOCC in time for its November 5, 2015 regular meeting. <br /> 2. Adjourning the public hearing until November 5, 2015 in order to receive and accept the <br /> Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
