Approved 7/1/2015 <br />15 <br />Laura Nicholson: it also says affordable housing earlier in that. 687 <br /> 688 <br />Lydia Wegman: I don’t think it’s consistent so ia m going to vote No. 689 <br /> 690 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: The comprehensive plan and the UDO are often in conflict with each other. 691 <br /> 692 <br />Lydia Wegman: I know that. 693 <br /> 694 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: We want affordable housing and we want sidewalks. 695 <br /> 696 <br />Lydia Wegman: I realize that I will just note this requirement to vote on consistency is an empty 697 <br />requirement because as you say Pete, there’s always a lot of inconsistent things in the comprehensive plan 698 <br />and you could find something to support almost any position in the plan. 699 <br /> 700 <br />Paul Guthrie: Are you going to call the vote. 701 <br /> 702 <br />Vote 10 to 2 (Paul Guthrie/Lydia Wegman*) 703 <br /> 704 <br />Paul Guthrie: I didn’t like it. 705 <br /> 706 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Motion to approve the amendment as in the packet UDO amendments. 707 <br /> 708 <br />James Lea: What page is that on? 709 <br /> 710 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: 73 attachement 3. 711 <br /> 712 <br />Motion by Buddy Hartley. Seconded by Bryant Warren. 713 <br /> 714 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: This is the section in red we discussed where it says the submittal requirements and so 715 <br />forth. This document is very much driven by the state law. 716 <br /> 717 <br />Ashley Moncado: Yes 718 <br /> 719 <br />Vote: 9 to 3 (Lydia Wegman, Lisa Stuckey and Paul Guthrie) 720 <br /> 721 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Paul would you like to say anything. 722 <br /> 723 <br />Paul Guthrie: Bad law, we can deal with the issue without it. 724 <br /> 725 <br />Lisa Stuckey: I’m voting no simply because I don’t think we have all the facts. This is something worth 726 <br />asking the attorney whether it could be made less restrictive to include nonrelatives to be in compliance 727 <br />with other areas of our UDO to allow husband and wife to be in there together so I just feel like I would 728 <br />rather let the attorney guide us, something for county commissioners to ask the attorney. 729 <br /> 730 <br />Lydia Wegman: I agree with Lisa. I’m concerned about approving just this piece without having the other 731 <br />pieces. We’ve talked about going forward with it so it’s clear that we are presenting a whole package of 732 <br />options to people who are facing this situation. We may need to follow up on Lisa’s suggestion and we 733 <br />many need to approve this but I would like to see if there is a way at the same time to approve something 734 <br />that is broader and meets the needs of many more people in the county. 735
