DRAFT <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 149 of 156 <br /> <br /> 1 <br />Karen Barrows: Can I just ask? And we did say that Ms. Corbin still has concerns that …... 2 <br /> 3 <br />Barry Katz: That’s (inaudible) 4 <br /> 5 <br />Motion made by Barry Katz of finding that the Applicant has met its responsibilities under the 6 <br />Unified Development Ordinance provision set forth on page 155. Seconded by Karen Barrows. 7 <br /> 8 <br />VOTE: Unanimous 9 <br /> 10 <br />Motion made by Barry Katz to extend meeting another 20-minutes. Seconded by Samantha 11 <br />Cabe. 12 <br /> 13 <br />VOTE: Unanimous 14 <br /> 15 <br />Samantha Cabe: Alright. Page 156 of the abstract includes use specific standards 16 <br />5.10.8(B)(4)(f)(g)(h)(i)(m)(j). Are any of those? 17 <br /> 18 <br />James Bryan: I didn’t find any the general standards on 160. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Samantha Cabe: Alright, so we can consider the use specific standards. Do I have a motion to 21 <br />adopt Staff recommendations with regard to use specific standards set forth on pages 155, 156, 22 <br />157, 158, and 159? Or if there’s any discussion we can… 23 <br /> 24 <br />Karen Barrows: Didn’t we just do 155? 25 <br /> 26 <br />Barry Katz: Yeah, just 156 through 159. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Samantha Cabe: Ok. 156 through 159. Is there a motion to accept Staff with regard to use specific 29 <br />standards? 30 <br /> 31 <br />Motion made by to adopt Staff recommendations with regard to Use Specific Standards on pages 32 <br />156, 157, 158, and, 159 based on the comments in our records that the use and evidence. 33 <br />Seconded by Karen Barrows. 34 <br /> 35 <br />VOTE: Unanimous 36 <br /> 37 <br />Samantha Cabe: And now, the ultimate questions. The general standards, with regard. Let’s do 38 <br />these one at a time. We are required to find that the use will or will not maintain or promote the 39 <br />public’s health, safety, and general welfare if located where proposed and developed and 40 <br />operated according to the plan as submitted. Is there any discussion as to whether the Applicant 41 <br />has met this burden? I will read to you the Opponents position on that. The Opponent states that 42 <br />petitions in opposition to the application for telecommunications facility Special Use Permit made 43 <br />part of the record, these are the supports for finding no, and testimony of Evan Gwen regarding 44 <br />potential adverse impact on wildlife and plant life along adjacent wildlife corridor, as well as 45 <br />unknown long term health hazards. Without necessarily finding that they have met that burden I 46 <br />will say that I do believe we’ve received into evidence impact statements on the environment and 47 <br />the wildlife, as well as the Statute prohibits us from finding that there’s a health hazard with regard 48 <br />to the EMT’s related to the cell tower. But otherwise, does anyone have a motion or want to 49 <br />discuss whether the Applicant has met their burden? 50 <br />151
