59 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 106 these are two different things.So, the family definition,we're addressing that in conjunction with this just because it's <br /> 107 something that's been discussed previously that we just needed to address.We wanted to address it this time as part <br /> 108 of this amendment package. But, there's no family relationship requirement related to the temporary custodial care <br /> 109 units anymore. <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Lydia Wegman: So maybe Paul is raising a good point as far as the family that should be considered independently, <br /> 112 from the temporary custodial unit because it is true that now the term family doesn't mean blood, marriage or <br /> 113 adoption. People do choose to live together. <br /> 114 <br /> 115 Ashley Moncado:There's a possibility you could have a lot of people living in a house without having some sort of <br /> 116 standard and structures to it. I understand that there's a lot of people that have families that they have children, <br /> 117 they're not married or they're blended families. But, if you're looking at a family of that situation, I mean you could <br /> 118 look at potentially having twenty people living in a house.And we have no way that you have to put some sort of limit <br /> 119 on it to avoid that situation because then you could be looking at environmental health concerns where they have <br /> 120 twenty people living in a house with four bedrooms. <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Paul Guthrie:And you have adequate definitions in other parts of planning laws and regulations that limits the <br /> 123 occupancy of a house? <br /> 124 <br /> 125 Ashley Moncade:Well our family definition is also reflective of the North Carolina State Building Code.Which the five <br /> 126 is derived directly from. There's our standard but there's another state standard that they have to adhere by. <br /> 127 <br /> 128 Patricia Roberts:Well perhaps if they're under 18 they don't count. <br /> 129 <br /> 130 Ashley Moncade:We can't do that.The state building code doesn't look at age. <br /> 131 <br /> 132 Tony Blake: Chapel Hill is even more restrictive than this to reduce the number of students and people parking on the <br /> 133 lawn and all that stuff.That was directly to address... <br /> 134 <br /> 135 Patricia Roberts: It's four, right? <br /> 136 <br /> 137 Tony Blake:Yeah, it's one less. <br /> 138 <br /> 139 Lisa Stuckey: If the parents were not married, it would still be allowed? <br /> 140 <br /> 141 Craig Benedict:Yes, as it's unrelated by blood. <br /> 142 <br /> 143 Maxecine Mitchell: My understanding of it is, definitely people who are unrelated. So you can have a bunch of people <br /> 144 sharing a house less than six people and one of them wants to bring their parents on the property and put this <br /> 145 portable unit up, my question would be then that wouldn't be allowed because you have too many unrelated people <br /> 146 there.Am I understanding that right? <br /> 147 <br /> 148 Ashley Moncado:They would still be able to.You have six people, unrelated, living in the house.Yes, they would still <br /> 149 be able to bring that temporary custodial care unit on the property because we're looking at something separate from <br /> 150 the temporary custodial care unit. <br /> 151 <br /> 152 Maxecine Mitchell: I just got confused because I thought that was a point to be a determined fact of whether you <br /> 153 could put that portable unit for a parent or parents. But the family relationship has nothing to do with it? <br /> 154 <br /> 155 Ashley Moncade: For bringing the temporary custodial care unit on the property, no. <br /> 156 <br /> 157 Tony Blake: I have one question related to the fire departments. I see this footnote of manufactured homes are built <br /> 158 to the standards of the department of housing urban development, HUD certificate, is required by Orange County <br /> 3 <br />
