61 <br /> 110 Craig Benedict: Buffers on streams? <br /> 111 <br /> 112 Curtis Bane: In between properties, on streams next to the residential. <br /> 113 <br /> 114 Perdita Holtz:They all still apply. <br /> 115 <br /> 116 Tony Blake:And these restrictions would not apply to farms, right? <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Perdita Holtz: If it's a bonafide farm and it's a farming activity that's happening then they are exempt from zoning, <br /> 119 yes. <br /> 120 <br /> 121 Craig Benedict: We are in the process of examining all of our stream buffer requirements to make sure that what we <br /> 122 require now meets the intended purposes of the water quality protection. Presently they're not suggesting any <br /> 123 changes. We are authorized to make changes for setbacks, stream buffers and things like that but we regularly <br /> 124 readdress our existing standards to make sure they're meeting their intended purpose. <br /> 125 <br /> 126 Curtis Bane: It's my understanding that in between the two different properties there are buffer zones on each <br /> 127 property. <br /> 128 <br /> 129 Craig Benedict: I can speak to you separately about it. I'll give you my card and we'll talk about some of our <br /> 130 standards. We do have standards if the uses are similar the buffers are usually less. If they're dissimilar sometimes <br /> 131 the buffer varies. <br /> 132 <br /> 133 <br /> 134 MOTION by Kim Piracci to recommend the proposed amendment package regarding the UDO ordinance <br /> 135 amendments Hillsborough Economic Development District to the BOCC.
