Approved 12/4/13 <br />8 <br /> 378 <br />Craig Benedict: We brought the recommendation of the Planning Board to put it on the agenda, our attorney said 379 <br />how can you impose these takings on private property so he pulled back from the Planning Board recommendation. 380 <br />Then the recommendation that went through said we can’t do anything, public sidewalks, etc. then the BOCC saw 381 <br />all the discussion and then it became a lot of misunderstanding. Then they denied everything. 382 <br /> 383 <br />James Lea: So what is the point? 384 <br /> 385 <br />Perdita Holtz: We were not able to have all our information about the problems with what the Planning Board was 386 <br />about to recommend so it went through so we thought we would try to make it work then the county attorney said 387 <br />no way so we ended up with a different staff recommendation. 388 <br /> 389 <br />Tony Blake: What about partnerships with utility companies? 390 <br /> 391 <br />Perdita Holtz: When an easement is granted, it states specifically what can happen in that easement. 392 <br /> 393 <br />Paul Guthrie: Why do you have to put the sidewalk in front of the house? Could there be a series of walkways on 394 <br />the back property lines? 395 <br /> 396 <br />(Different conversations at the same time). 397 <br /> 398 <br />Paul Guthrie: There are some places where you may be able to work out pathways in open land between 399 <br />structures by a group assembled by the residences. 400 401 <br /> 402 <br /> 403 AGENDA ITEM 9: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS 404 <br /> 405 <br />a) Board of Adjustment 406 <br />b) Orange Unified Transportation 407 <br /> 408 <br /> 409 AGENDA ITEM 10: ADJOURNMENT 410 411 MOTION: made by Buddy Hartley to adjourn.
