APPROVED 10/13/2014 OC Board of Adjustment – 8/27/2014 Page 61 of 64 Jeff Schmitt: I think the question still sits here relative to the reconditioning of the natural mode. There 1 needs to be some comment made about the landscaping. That would surround any, I don’t want to just 2 say valve station because there might be something else. 3 4 Karen Barrows: But if he had to come back for modification for that, that would be part of that 5 application. 6 7 Jeff Schmitt: I think that’s a good point Karen. So we don’t do anything. 8 9 Larry Wright: Mr. Zaragoza had made a point that I thought was and that was the fact that when they 10 take the soil out. 11 12 Jeff Schmitt: Put the topsoil some place so it doesn’t get buried. 13 14 Larry Wright: Yes. 15 16 David Blankfard: But that’s actually in the easement itself, will put it back into its current state. When 17 you read the 1952 easement, it’s covered in there. 18 19 Larry Wright: It is? 20 21 David Blankfard: We can go back and look at it but I think that’s addressed. I was reading that. Will not 22 interfere with the cultivation of land also, fences, growing crops, timber which may arise from land 23 construction, removing changing … 24 25 Jeff Schmitt: So that has to fall into growing crops… 26 27 David Blankfard: Yes and I guess if they do damage then they have to compensate. 28 29 Larry Wright: That’s the trees 30 31 Jeff Schmitt: The topsoil 32 33 David Blankfard: I guess if they do disturb and if they don’t put it back and mitigate the damage then 34 they have to compensate. They have a choice, they can put back to its original state or they can 35 compensate him for 36 37 Larry Wright: So, that’s his trees and his driveway access 38 39 Jeff Schmitt: And his 6 inches of topsoil or whatever we have around here. 40 41 Larry Wright: Ok, so where are we on this? 42 43 Karen Barrows: I thought we going to say we would approve staff’s 9 recommendations and add one 44 that would exclude the valve station because it’s not listed. 45 46 Jeff Schmitt: I thought we had come to the conclusion that we didn’t need to say with the valve station 47 because that is a modification that they come back. Because we don’t even know. 48 49 Karen Barrows: It wouldn’t be if we don’t’ mention it. 50 51 Jeff Schmitt: Yes, but we don’t know there’s a valve station, what’s been submitted to us says we don’t 52 know that there’s a valve station. 53 54 Karen Barrows: Oh, I see what you’re saying. 55
