16 <br /> 1 Lydia Wegman said she and Craig Benedict, Orange County Planning Director, believe <br /> 2 the population projections to be too high as well as the distribution of the population. <br /> 3 Craig Benedict said these numbers will be reviewed moving forward. <br /> 4 Tony Blake said the Board's priorities are well aligned, and he is pleased with the inter <br /> 5 workings with the telecommunications efforts and the alternate septic areas, as they will draw a <br /> 6 thread through affordable housing. <br /> 7 Commissioner Jacobs thanked Craig Benedict for the work on the population projections <br /> 8 and noted the numbers are way off. He said planning based on these numbers is not <br /> 9 conducive to smart planning. <br /> 10 Lydia Wegman said all involved agree. <br /> 11 Commissioner Burroughs said she heard that Chatham County is well ahead of Orange <br /> 12 County on tiny houses' regulations. <br /> 13 Craig Benedict said it is both the building code and the Planning Board that will move <br /> 14 this issue forward. He said definitions are being established for different types of tiny homes, <br /> 15 as well as the expansion of the number of unrelated persons that can dwell in one home. He <br /> 16 said these items will return to the BOCC in late February. <br /> 17 Commissioner Jacobs recalled Commissioner Dorosin questioning County regulations <br /> 18 pertaining to how many people can reside in one dwelling. <br /> 19 Craig Benedict said the response will be given at the upcoming quarterly public hearing. <br /> 20 Commissioner Jacobs asked if this information will pertain just to medically necessitated <br /> 21 co-dwelling. <br /> 22 Craig Benedict said no, this expands beyond temporary health care structures. <br /> 23 Commissioner Jacobs said he could not find when the Pauli Murray awards will take <br /> 24 place anywhere on the HRC website, noting this website is not linked into what Laurie Paolicelli <br /> 25 publicizes, or into the County website. He asked if all involved could work together to provide <br /> 26 clear communication. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 3.
