Approved 11/2/16 4 Perdita Holtz: If it’s a bonafide farm and it’s a farming activity that’s happening then they are exempt from zoning, 161 yes. 162 163 Craig Benedict: We are in the process of examining all of our stream buffer requirements to make sure that what we 164 require now meets the intended purposes of the water quality protection. Presently they’re not suggesting any 165 changes. We are authorized to make changes for setbacks, stream buffers and things like that but we regularly 166 readdress our existing standards to make sure they’re meeting their intended purpose. 167 168 Curtis Bane: It’s my understanding that in between the two different properties there are buffer zones on each 169 property. 170 171 Craig Benedict: I can speak to you separately about it. I’ll give you my card and we’ll talk about some of our 172 standards. We do have standards if the uses are similar the buffers are usually less. If they’re dissimilar sometimes 173 the buffer varies. 174 175 176 MOTION by Kim Piracci to recommend the proposed amendment package regarding the UDO ordinance 177 amendments Hillsborough Economic Development District to the BOCC. Seconded by Lisa Stuckey. 178 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 179 180 181 Agenda Item 8: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment - To make a recommendation to 182 the BOCC on government-initiated amendments to the text of the UDO pertaining to 183 subdivisions, particularly minor subdivisions, flexible development options, and open space. 184 This item is scheduled for the November 21, 2016 quarterly public hearing. 185 Presenter: Patrick Mallett, Planner II 186 187 Patrick Mallett reviewed the abstract. 188 189 Craig Benedict: Also, with environmental health the state is also improving additional innovative systems that go 190 beyond these conventional, off site or not… But there is major trend that the state’s hoping looking to look at. 191 Engineer systems that might be more expensive but they’re a lot more innovative. We’re encouraged by some of 192 the new things that are being suggested. 193 194 Tony Blake: Like the pods? 195 196 Craig Benedict: Yeah. Pods, and systems that actually provide the liquid that could be used for irrigation on site. 197 And that’s something that really hasn’t been used but the technology is there. There are some systems that the 198 state still hasn’t improved yet that we’re trying to become a test area for them because they work in other parts of 199 the United States and other countries. So, let’s try that too. It’s not a major risk. In any.. you do with these 200 innovative pilot programs they’re trying to get the approval that the state let us do it at a local level. We’ll have ways 201 of backing up the system with land so it doesn’t become a problem. 202 203 Kim Piracci: So that would be done on individual house level? 204 205 Craig Benedict: Yeah, it would probably be a pilot program. We’re trying to think of some lands up near Lake 206 Orange that have had failing conventional septic systems and put something in. And it would be something that if 207 you had to pump into it off site, a repair area, you could. 208 209 Lisa Stuckey: An off site septic is new to me. What is that? How off site can it go? 210 211 Patrick Mallett: Well we follow the state guidelines. And basically think of if in terms of, “I buy lot one of a 212 subdivision. I would have a corresponding, there would be an easement that would go through the open space and 213 then there would be a corresponding deed to 1A, which would be my septic field. It would simply be out in the open 214
