Approved 4/22/2014 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/11/2013 Page 5 of 123 <br /> 1 <br />Karen Barrows: On the memorandum we got, it says this is to overturn the decision of the Planning Director. 2 <br />Other stuff states the Zoning Officer, so whose decision are we actually looking at? 3 <br /> 4 <br />Michael Harvey: In the UDO, the term Orange County Planning Director/Zoning Officer are synonymous. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Larry Wright: Let me ask each person…Mr. Buck, do you have any additional evidence that directly relates to 7 <br />Attachment B. Attachment B is your appeal. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Michael Buck: I know what you mean. 10 <br /> 11 <br />Michael Harvey: Attachment A from the September meeting is the appeal application. We have also included 12 <br />here in 6 for edification as you requested. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Larry Wright: (To Mr. Buck). Do you have any additional evidence that was not covered on September 10? 15 <br /> 16 <br />Michael Buck: I do. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Larry Wright: Could you briefly present that evidence please. You have testimony as well? 19 <br /> 20 <br />Michael Buck: I do have two items of testimony I would like to present, two brief paragraphs. Is there a 21 <br />preference on the order? 22 <br /> 23 <br />Larry Wright: Just make sure it is evidence. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Michael Buck: I appreciate the fact, I did not understand that last time. The digitized email view…I believe the 26 <br />county has accepted the digitized view that was previously submitted but the county made a claim that it was a 27 <br />purported document provided by the current planning supervisor. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Michael Harvey: That’s Appellant Exhibit 8 from the September meeting on page 35 of this packet. 30 <br /> 31 <br />Michael Buck: The county acceptance of the evidence, the claim was this was a purported view perhaps 32 <br />indicating it is not from the current planning supervisor so I have the emails I received from the current planning 33 <br />supervisor in 2008 in which that view was given to me. I would like to submit that if there is any concern about 34 <br />the validity of that view and its source. 35 <br /> 36 <br />Geof Gledhill: In the evidence, on page 25, lines 5 through 19, the statement made by Mr. Buck was that it was 37 <br />prepared by the County’s Engineer’s office showing community recreational area acreage. Our contention is that 38 <br />is what Mr. Buck purports where this came from. There was nothing about the county planning director in earlier 39 <br />testimony. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Michael Buck: I want to make sure that we are in agreement that it was a document that came from the county to 42 <br />me via the current planning supervisor in 2008. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Michael Harvey: Mr. Chairman, if I could ask, could Mr. Buck clarify for the record who that was. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Michael Buck: It was Robert Davis. 47 <br /> 48
