Michael Harvey: Well, the definitions of these are for people. We have kennel operations in this ordinance that will be dealing 162 <br />with animals, pets. We have existing land use categories addressing the care of animals. 163 <br /> 164 <br />Kim Piracci: So you just feel like to say human care is redundant? 165 <br /> 166 <br />Michael Harvey: My opinion, yes. It doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea, but my opinion it’s redundant. It’s not something I don’t 167 <br />mind looking at but I think with the definition structure we have it’s becomes apparent quickly that this is for the care of the 168 <br />elderly, or the care of children, or the care… 169 <br /> 170 <br />Kim Piracci: What if we haven’t gotten to animals or shelter or whatever yet? I mean, to me it’s not that obvious. 171 <br /> 172 <br />Michael Harvey: Ok, you’re entitled to your opinion. 173 <br /> 174 <br />Tony Blake: I tend to agree, but that’s just me. What would… 175 <br /> 176 <br />Kim Piracci: So, I mean is there not room for discussion on it? If two of us are feeling the same way… 177 <br /> 178 <br />Michael Harvey: There is room for discussion but I think that... 179 <br /> 180 <br />Kim Piracci: You’re not going to change your mind. 181 <br /> 182 <br />Tony Blake: No, we’re not going to change his mind. 183 <br /> 184 <br />Michael Harvey: I think that you are losing sight of the fact that there are specific sections dealing with the care of animal 185 <br />independent of this. I think that’ you’re forgetting the fact that we have definitions that will be defining this is what these 186 <br />activities entail, where it’s spelled out that this is for care for people. I think that if I’m too add human here then that to me is 187 <br />redundant and unnecessary. There’s not education facilities for dogs. That’s why we have the kennel. 188 <br /> 189 <br />Kim Piracci: It’s one word in one spot. 190 <br /> 191 <br />Randy Marshall: But if you’ve got… If you’re looking at care and facilities here and you look at definitions it’s talking about not 192 <br />animals. There’s this whole different section about animals, so I don’t think it’s a problem. 193 <br /> 194 <br />Michael Harvey: If this Board wants to vote to recommend adding the word human and that’s your recommendation I’ll 195 <br />certainly add it. But I think it’s redundant and unnecessary. You have my opinion, you can disagree with me, and this body can 196 <br />certainly vote to say add the word human and I will honor that request. 197 <br /> 198 <br />Lydia Wegman: Just a better option would be if you felt it was appropriate to say child and adult care. To me, the use of the 199 <br />word human is quite awkward. 200 <br /> 201 <br />Kim Piracci: It’s weird. It’s awkward. It is awkward. 202 <br /> 203 <br />Lydia Wegman: Yeah. If the desire is to make it clear it’s for humans I would just say child and adult. 204 <br /> 205 <br />Michael Harvey: Well, one of the reasons I eliminated child is because care becomes universal. It’s just not about child or 206 <br />adult. It’s care and education. 207 <br /> 208 Inaudible 209 <br /> 210 <br />Lydia Wegman: I’m just saying, you have a list of adult daycare, child daycare facilities, so it would not necessarily be 211 <br />inappropriate if there’s a strong feeling that… 212 <br /> 213 <br />Michael Harvey: So, I’m hearing there’s a strong feeling to add the word child and adult care and educational facilities. 214 <br /> 215 <br /> 8 <br />
