20 <br /> 54 Tony Blake: I had one from people that have called me, my phones lit up when they heard a story about the airport, <br /> 55 and a couple of people were thinking that a broader notification should go out, in light of an airport. Or something that <br /> 56 has significant impacts like noise or what have you. So I wanted to float that idea and I wanted to get that in the <br /> 57 minutes so that the County Commissioners read it as well. <br /> 58 <br /> 59 Andrea Rohrbacher: I can't remember what the outcome of this point was, it seems that at one meeting we discussed <br /> 60 putting some sort of lettering on the outside of the envelope to indicate that it had to do with development so that <br /> 61 people wouldn't think that it was junk mail. <br /> 62 <br /> 63 Perdita Holtz: Right, and that is in there under the public hearing portion that it's going to say, "Notice of Hearing"on <br /> 64 the outside of the envelope. <br /> 65 <br /> 66 Lydia Wegman: Other comments, questions? <br /> 67 <br /> 68 Paul Guthrie: I have one other. Someone who doesn't receive notice but hears about the project,will they just come <br /> 69 directly to the planning organization and say, "Hey,we heard this was going on.What's going on?" <br /> 70 <br /> 71 Perdita Holtz:Yes, because there's still the sign that's posted on the property so anybody seeing that sign could <br /> 72 contact us. <br /> 73 <br /> 74 Paul Guthrie: Because there are certain things that affect well beyond 1000 feet or 500 feet. So you're able to <br /> 75 accommodate that without any problems?You don't need anything in the code to help you do that? <br /> 76 <br /> 77 Perdita Holtz: No. <br /> 78 <br /> 79 Paul Guthrie: Okay.Thanks. <br /> 80 <br /> 81 Craig Benedict: Perdita,can you explain to the Board the new process a little bit that's going to be occurring in this <br /> 82 amendment that they're making recommendation and consistency before the public hearing? <br /> 83 <br /> 84 Perdita Holtz: I hit on it earlier tonight, it's the first time that we're doing this new process and tonight is making a <br /> 85 recommendation in time for the February 18th quarterly public hearing so, it's the same types of actions, they're just <br /> 86 occurring in a different order than they used to. <br /> 87 <br /> 88 Craig Benedict: So these do not get referred back to you unless the commission determines. <br /> 89 <br /> 90 Lydia Wegman: So the commission could vote in February to approve this and we would not see it again? <br /> 91 <br /> 92 Craig Benedict:That's correct. So there's some streamlining that we just accomplished as one of our goals for certain <br /> 93 things that are more housekeeping items like this. <br /> 94 <br /> 95 Lydia:All right, any other comments or questions? <br /> 96 <br /> 97 Lisa Stuckey: Okay, so I move approval of the statement of the consistency which is attachment 2 and the proposed <br /> 98 amendment package which is attachment 3 and that they be forwarded to the County Commissioners from the <br /> 99 Planning Board. <br /> 100 <br /> 101 MOTION made by Lisa Stuckey to approve the text amendment. Seconded by Laura Nicholson <br /> 102 VOTE: Passed 9-1 (Tony Blake) <br /> 103 <br /> 104 Tony Blake: I'm opposed. I'm opposed because I think that there's room for other notification in the event of a major <br /> 105 enterprise or undertaking, such as an airport. <br /> 106 <br /> 107 Lisa Stuckey: It occurs to me that that could be part of the airport amendments. <br /> 2 <br />
