Approved 7/1/2015 <br />10 <br /> 442 <br />Lydia Wegman: I don’t think it is environmentally responsible to make this change. I think the staff has 443 <br />done an excellent job. This is a broad solution to solve a very limited problem and there should be limited 444 <br />solution to that limited problem. 445 <br /> 446 <br />MOTION made by Lisa Stuckey to approve with amendments on page 60. Seconded by Laura 447 <br />Rohrbacher. 448 <br />VOTE: 10 to 2 no (Lydia Wegman/Paul Gutherie) 449 <br /> 450 <br />Lydia Wegman: The same as before but I will note if this does move forward and the BOCC does want to 451 <br />approve this I support the amendment that is offered on a performance bond and I think that would be a 452 <br />significant improvement to the proposed change. 453 <br /> 454 <br />Paul Guthrie: I would echo that. I am not satisfied we have gone to the depth we should have gone to on 455 <br />both of these issues because they go a lot further than this committee. How do you measure impervious 456 <br />surface? 457 <br /> 458 <br />Michael Harvey: We are going out as staff with a measuring wheel and tape measure or a surveyor does it 459 <br />and we are making the surveyors notes are accurate. 460 <br /> 461 <br />Paul Guthrie: How do you know the surface you are measuring is impervious? 462 <br /> 463 <br />Michael Harvey: If it is gravel, covered by building a roof, if it is structure it is impervious. Impervious 464 <br />surface area is defined within the UDO as a surface composed of any material that impedes/prevents the 465 <br />natural infiltration of water into the soil. Such surfaces include concrete, asphalt and gravel surfaces. 466 <br />These include but are not limited to streets and parking areas, sidewalks, patios and structures that cover 467 <br />the land. It does not by state definition include the deck or the water in the swimming pool. 468 <br /> 469 <br />Paul Guthrie: It doesn’t’ include natural features. 470 <br /> 471 <br />Michael Harvey: Right. 472 <br /> 473 <br />AGENDA ITEM 9: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT\ AMENDMENTS: To make a 474 <br />recommendation to the BOCC on government-initiated amendments regarding the 475 <br />review and permitting of temporary health care structures. This item was heard at 476 <br />the May 26, 2015 quarterly public hearing. 477 <br /> 478 <br /> Presenter: Ashley Moncado, Special Projects Planner 479 <br /> 480 <br />Ashley Moncado: Reviewed abstract. 481 <br /> 482 <br />Herman Staats: The building and efficiency or some other addition to a structure. I could do that anyway 483 <br />as long as my lot size allows me so nothing in what we discussed about this temporary health care 484 <br />structure prevented someone from using those if they wanted to? 485 <br /> 486 <br />Ashley Moncado: Correct. There are other options provided in the UDO. 487 <br /> 488 <br />Herman Staats: I didn’t understand why it’s so restrictive. 489 <br /> 490
