rmmm <br /> have also informed Mr. Snyder that there are no ordinances which they <br /> can enforce to stop the noise at any time. Mr. Snyder disagreed; there <br /> are ordinances which, when enforced, can stop the noise. He urged the <br /> Board of County Commissioners to determine the accuracy of wording and <br /> the validity of application of the ordinance to the above mentioned <br /> garage. The following petition was read by Mr. Snyder: <br /> "We the property owners and interested parties hereby petition you, <br /> the Board of Commissioners to not allow the error in zoning to <br /> invalidate any applicable ordinance or affect the enforcement thereof <br /> based solely on the technicality of such and not to allow any change in <br /> the zoning status of 3. 3011 regardless of how or when it was zoned <br /> without first making a thorough inspection of the premises and all <br /> pertinent facts and making a determination as to the suitability of <br /> subject property for any use as provided in all applicable ordinances.

Inventory of Sites of Cultural and Geological Significance <br /> Presentation was made by Planner Brad Torgan. <br /> This agenda item is to receive public comment on proposed text <br /> amendments to the Land Use Plan. <br /> Orange County contains many sites of cultural, historical, <br /> recreational, biological and geological significance. Section IV-B-2, <br /> Land Suitability , of the Subdivision Regulations contains a mandate to <br /> the Planning Board to consider the overall design of a subdivision in <br /> light of the suitability of the land for development. Land suitability <br /> includes an investigation of historic sites and unique natural areas. <br /> Although information has been available through a variety of local and <br /> State agencies, it has never been compiled in one source, making it <br /> difficult for the Planning Department and the Planning Board to <br /> adequately assess the impact of subdivision proposals on such <br /> resources. Furthermore, similar mandates are not present in the Zoning <br /> Ordinance. <br /> In May of 1986, an inventory of cultural, historical, recreational, <br />
