This item was heard at the 110 <br />May 28, 2013 quarterly public hearing. 111 Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 112 <br /> 113 <br />Michael Harvey: Reviewed abstract on page 19. 114 <br /> 115 MOTION made by Tony Blake to accept the recommendations of staff on the zoning atlas amendment. 116 <br /> 117 <br />Michael Harvey: May I offer an amendment; we need the motion to say recommend approval of attachments three and 118 <br />four containing two separate resolutions; one amending the future Land Use Map and the Orange County Zoning Atlas. 119 <br /> 120 MOTION made by Tony Blake to accept Amendments there and four as recommended by staff to the zoning atlas 121 <br />amendment.

I don’t see the need to press hard for someone to volunteer and if the 138 <br />BOCC has a different feeling, they can get back to us. 139 <br /> 140 <br />Michael Harvey: Since you don’t have a full complement tonight, you may want to table the item unless there is 141 <br />someone here who would like to volunteer. 142 <br /> 143 <br />Buddy Hartley: I like the idea that if there is something we need to know that there is someone from the board or staff 144 <br />gives it to us. 145 <br /> 146 <br />Alan Campbell: Was the reason behind it was that most of the things the BOA considers are planning items? 147 <br /> 148 <br />Michael Harvey: I haven’t found any rationale yet but that makes perfect sense to me. There have been concerns over 149 <br />commitments of board members which have gone on for several years. 150 <br /> 151 <br />Alan Campbell: I can understand you would want someone with the expertise. 152 <br /> 153 <br />Michael Harvey: I would like to think staff has become a little more detail oriented. 154 <br /> 155 <br />Johnny Randall: Has there been a situation where a planning board member made significant contributions that would 156 <br />have been made otherwise. 157 <br /> 158 <br />Michael Harvey: I think all the members made significant contributions and so do you all. Having a presence there is 159 <br />nice but there is no interest there is no need to hold a seat open. 160 <br /> 161 <br />Lisa Stuckey: Does the Board of Adjustment have an opinion? 162
