Paul Guthrie: Probably a good idea. 967 968 Laura Nicholson: To me there is just some things that seem really cut and dried and there are some things that are 969 really squishy. Is there a way we can delineate that and say these things we agree on and bring a recommendation 970 on these things and these things we still want to talk about more, is that a possibility? 971 972 Pete Hallenbeck: Part of why I tried to say it’s important to be at the QPH not wild about the quorum and you’re 973 comments you really think the quorum will help. The Planning Board taking citizen input, it sounds like everybody is 974 good with that and more input is good. We realize this is legislative that is 88% of what we see, all Planning Board 975 members get notification of any neighborhood information meetings and we realize that the quasi-judicial is a 976 problem for another day we need more education as there are very strict rules. That’s ok because we’ve just dealt 977 with 88% of what we deal with and I would say that’s the summation of what we are putting before the 978 Commissioners along with this process. 979 980 Craig Benedict: Chair, based on the direction the Commissioners gave the manager and the attorney and staff is this 981 interim report is not going to make decision so, that interim report will say probably some things are easier to achieve 982 and some things are a little bit harder so I think in essence we are going to get some ideas on which way we can 983 move with it. Where’s there’s some clarity and which areas might need a little more time. That’s why they said the 984 November 6th meeting wouldn’t have everything done by then. We’ll let them know where we are in the process that 985 we were getting consensus on some areas and we are also determining that there are differences, clear differences, 986 on how the Board’s role is for quasi-judicial versus legislative and how we get community input that might take a little 987 longer. 988 989 Pete Hallenbeck: That’s also why we’re not going to vote tonight on this and what we recommend. We’ve talked 990 they get to sludge through it and see what we’re thinking and it goes on from there. Ok, the last item on the agenda, 991 I’ll entertain a motion to adjourn 992 993 994 AGENDA ITEM 11: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS: 995 a. Board of Adjustment 996 997 998 AGENDA ITEM 12: ADJOURNMENT: 999 1000 MOTION by Bryant Warren to adjourn. Seconded by Buddy Hartley. 1001 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 1002 1003 1004 Email from Lydia Wegman: 1005 1006 From: Lydia Wegman [mailto:lnwegman@gmail.com] 1007 Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2014 2:12 PM 1008 To: Perdita Holtz 1009 Subject: Re: October Planning Board Materials 1010 1011 Hi Perdita, 1012 1013 Thanks for that helpful explanation of the status of the recommendations on the public hearing process. I am very 1014 sorry to be missing the discussion tonight. As a new member of the Board, I feel I would benefit from hearing the 1015 views of the folks who have served on the Board longer than I. I do, however, have two thoughts to offer, which are 1016 laid out in the next paragraph. In addition to that, I plan to read the minutes of tonight’s discussion and then offer my 1017 thoughts on the conclusions reached, if any. I know this is not the best way to engage in discussion, but given that I 1018 am out of town, I think it’s the best I can do. 1019 1020 37
