We are suggesting any amendment to the 29 comprehensive plan can be heard at any of the four quarterly public hearings. How does the ORC feel about that? 30 31 Lydia Wegman: Where does it say four times a year? 32 33 Perdita Holtz: The language would say proposed amendments shall be considered at the quarterly public hearings. 34 35 Lydia Wegman: I think that makes sense 36 37 Pete Hallenbeck: It sounds good to me. 38 39 Tony Blake: I am not opposed to the intent; I’m just trying to think of things that could go wrong. 40 41 Pete Hallenbeck: We have also had concerns in the past that the county moves too slowly. Making this four times a 42 year is a good deal. 43 44 Perdita Holtz: Ok, it sounds like you are good with changing that. 45 46 Perdita Holtz continued presentation. 47 48 Perdita Holtz: Would it be acceptable to combine the Planning Board meeting notice and the quarterly public hearing 49 notice into one? Or should we stick to having two separate ones? 50 51 Pete Hallenbeck: You schedule the two at the same time? 52 53 Perdita Holtz: Yes, we schedule both at the same time. 54 5
