Approved 9/4/13 <br />5 <br /> 217 <br />Andrea Rohrbacher: I don’t have any feeling about square footage, going to 750 would be good. 218 <br /> 219 <br />James Lea: Most of them have already been covered. 220 <br /> 221 <br />Herman Staats: Is a farm covered as a home occupation? 222 <br /> 223 <br />Perdita Holtz: Farms are exempt from zoning regulations. 224 <br /> 225 <br />Herman Staats: Are there specs that guide the private roads maintenance agreement? 226 <br /> 227 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If you have a place that has three, four or five homes on the road and there is a legal agreement 228 <br />about how to pay for the road maintenance then basically, we don’t want this agreement to force a single house 229 <br />with a long driveway to do something. 230 <br /> 231 <br />Herman Staats: Is there an exemption that all these things can be dealt with on a case by case basis. 232 <br /> 233 <br />Craig Benedict: There has to be clarity on what is exempt and what is not. Various criteria, it is so tight that there 234 <br />is not too many ways to make it through. We need to mention what is clearly exempt by definition. 235 <br /> 236 <br />Perdita Holtz: If you wanted to allow more intensive home occupation, you could think about a Class B permit. 237 <br /> 238 <br />Paul Guthrie: My comment is a home business, you may get two times you can exceed the number of people. 239 <br />This county would be decimated if you followed the language in this draft. Think very carefully about what you 240 <br />write. This is running against the grain. Is there any exemption for doctors and lawyers? 241 <br /> 242 <br />Michael Harvey: We have doctors that work out of the house. 243 <br /> 244 <br />Paul Gutherie: How many things will you have to process? You are trying to liberalize something that has not been 245 <br />enforced so I hope you have a good idea about where the work load will go. 246 <br /> 247 <br /> 248 249 AGENDA ITEM 9: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS 250 <br /> 251 <br />a) Board of Adjustment 252 <br />b) Orange Unified Transportation 253 <br /> 254 <br /> 255 AGENDA ITEM 10: ADJOURNMENT 256 257 MOTION: made by Paul Guthrie to adjourn.
