28 <br />DRAFT <br />256 Joel Knight: I assume the power company would maintain it. What would the Homeowner's Association do with this <br />257 land? <br />258 <br />259 Steve Yuhasz: It is not what they would do with it but if the County owned a road that close, it may be intrusive. The <br />260 acre is arbitrary. If you really want an acre, there is a better place that would be more useful but it was an easy line <br />261 to strike on a map. <br />262 <br />263 Jennifer Leaf: For clarification, under Section C, it is required that they are prohibited to cut trees. <br />264 <br />265 MOTION made by Brian Crawford to accept the Planning Staff s recommendation for deeding the land to Parks and <br />266 Recreation as defined by the power line easement portion of A and E. Sam Lasris seconded. <br />267 VOTE: (5 Ayes; 4 Opposed) <br />268 <br />269 MOTION made by Renee Price to approve the plan without the stub outs. Jeffrey Schmitt seconded. <br />270 VOTE: (8 Ayes;1 Opposed) <br />271 <br />272 Renee Price: What if the land's not dedicated? Can the owner choose not to dedicate the land? <br />273 <br />274 Craig Benedict: It is part of our requirements that if the elected bodies ask for it, they are required to do that. <br />275 <br />276 Agenda Item 9: PROPOSED NEW ELEMENT AND GOAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN <br />277 Presenter: Jay Bryan <br />278 <br />279 Jay Bryan: I can give some history or we can just have a discussion. <br />280 <br />281 Renee Price: Will this be in the same overall framework as the goals I had suggested. <br />282 <br />283 Jay Bryan: If that is the consensus, I should move forward by making this proposal at the public hearing I can do <br />284 that. If the Board feels uncomfortable, I can step out and present it as an individual county member. <br />285 <br />286 Jeffrey Schmitt: I don't know what you are trying to achieve. <br />287 <br />288 Jay Bryan: I have had a long history with community building. It stems from an article by John Gardener about <br />289 community building in a time when there are a lot of transit communities. 1IVe have difficult issues involving <br />290 municipalities. His approach was there were certain principle in community building and strategies in doing so. <br />291 When the shaping Orange County Task force was formed it was ask to look at community building and maintenance. <br />292 They made a number of recommendations of which nothing has been done. My concern is the land planning and <br />293 policy development is on an abstract plan. The other issue was the land fill. The discussion level was not civil or <br />294 healthy. There are many issues that require more structure of dialogue and communication between governmental <br />295 boards. Part of this is to set up standards as to how to get to that point. <br />296 <br />297 Jeffrey Schmitt: Can you read one recommendation? <br />298 <br />299 Jay Bryan: Read an article from Shaping Orange County using a list of 10 principles. <br />300 <br />301 Craufurd Goodwin: What is a community? <br />302 <br />303 Jay Bryan: If you read the article, you will understand: They have goals, objectives and implementation strategies. <br />304 <br />305 Craufurd Goodwin: Is this the place for it? <br />306 <br />6 <br />
