D R A F T 10 Tony Blake: Question one, yes; question two before; question three I think we need more information earlier. 487 488 Lydia Wegman: I do think the Planning Board should be making recommendations on quasi-judicial matters and I do 489 think the recommendation should occur before the public hearing along the lines of what we are talking about. I am 490 concerned about having an informed recommendation. There needs to be a process between the Neighborhood 491 Information Meeting and the public hearing for the Planning Board to make a recommendation. The only concern I 492 have about the Planning Board not being at the public hearing is if the BOCC should want to take more time to 493 consider and continue the public hearing so if the BOCC wanted the Planning Board to offer more input subsequent, 494 there would need to be a way for the Planning Board members to hear what went on at the public hearing. 495 496 Perdita Holtz: There have always been issues where some people make it to the public hearing but the same people 497 don’t make it to the Planning Board meeting. 498 499 Lisa Stuckey: I don’t think we should make recommendations. I don’t think going through that process up until now 500 has been productive, we rely on staff if they meet all the requirements, we have to recommend it be approved. It 501 seems a very artificial process. The real thing happens at the public hearing. 502 503 Paul Guthrie: Could a member or members of this group that have discussed this prior to any of the formal legal 504 steps be subpoenaed by the applicant to testify at the hearing. 505 506 James Bryan: Yes. It is very rare but the chair gets to decide and you get to appeal that to the whole Board and they 507 have subpoena power and if you don’t show up, the Court of Justice can require you to get a contempt of court. 508 509 Tony Blake: Can we be deposed in the legal sense? 510 511 James Bryan: The subpoena will most likely require you to show up at the hearing and they you will be ask 512 questions. 513 514 Bonnie Hammersley: I wanted to say on behalf of the County Board of Commissioners that on the 24th there is not 515 going to be a quarterly public hearing because there aren’t any items and also no dinner because there is no 516 meeting. They wanted to extend to you that at any time you want to schedule a meeting like that in 2015, they would 517 love to spend that time with you. 518 519 AGENDA ITEM 8: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS: 520 a. Board of Adjustment 521 522 Michael Harvey: The BOA approved the PSNC pipeline. We will have a meeting in December for an appeal. Local 523 residents are appealing a decision by the County to rescind a notice of violation involving a gun range. 524 525 AGENDA ITEM 12: ADJOURNMENT: 526 14
