Recommend in concept, Phase One; <br />2. That we specifically go on record that we have not had the opportunity to view the details <br />to where any lines on the illustrative map might finally be situated nor have citizens in the <br />areas really had an opportunity to look at that fully so that we want the record to show <br />that we are not buying into the details of the map at this point to be binding on us or <br />anybody else in the future; <br />3. That we understand that In Phase Two there would be extensive outreach to people in <br />those communities with ample opportunities informally and formally to ask questions and <br />find out more about densities or other factors, about how this might in fact be <br />implemented and direct that the Planning staff bring back to us specifics on how this <br />might be done effectively; and <br />4. Finally, that the details of the conversation and questions and comments from the Board <br />be submitted along with this motion to the Board of Commissioners. <br />Second: Craufurd Goodwin <br />Vote: UNANIMOUS <br />The Planning Board's unanimous recommendation was an item for decision on the December <br />12 BOCC agenda, but time constraints prevented consideration of it.
