Planning Board Review: <br />July 10, 2013 – Ordinance Review Committee (ORC). <br />A Planning Board member expressed concern over the proposed <br />amendment indicating he believed this was an unnecessary political <br />reaction arising out of objections to the development of a volunteer fire <br />department substation off of Neville Road. <br />Further, it was suggested this amendment would have a negative impact <br />on local volunteer fire departments who do not have the necessary budget <br />or meeting facilities to comply with the proposal. <br />There were no suggested amendments made by members. <br />Chair Hallenbeck suggested individual members put their concerns in <br />writing for staff and the BOCC to address at the appropriate time. To date <br />no written comments have been received. <br />October 2, 2013 – Recommendation <br /> <br />b. Advisory Boards: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />c.
