While 28 <br />the standards were not utilized to discount or exclude, they were utilized and as we testified to the last meeting as 29 <br />well in a contemporaneous negotiation. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Geof Gledhill: Based on your review of county files pertaining to this planned development, do you have an 32 <br />opinion as to whether any phase or part of the planned development was subject to the IV-B-7-b regulations? 33 <br /> 34 <br />Michael Harvey: Yes sir, I have an opinion. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Geof Gledhill: What is that opinion? 37 <br /> 38 <br />Michael Harvey: They do not apply. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Geof Gledhill: They were not applied? 41 <br /> 42 <br />Michael Harvey: They were not applied, they do not apply. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Geof Gledhill: That is all I have Mr. Chair. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Michael Buck: I am trying to make sure I understand the order. I don’t have an objection to that but I did want to 47 <br />object to C-1-B and C-1-A. 48
