Approved 11/01/2017 25 1266 Kim Piracci asked Mr. Parker if the Board does not approve this tonight, will the project be “done.” She asked if this is 1267 what he said and how it would work if this is not approved. 1268 1269 Jim Parker said that they are on a timeline and not making a decision tonight will push the process back. He asked if 1270 Mr. Harvey knew how far it would be pushed back. 1271 1272 Michael Harvey replied that it is hard to say because the next item on the agenda deals with how public hearings are 1273 scheduled. The scenario that could be forthcoming on this project is that the Board tables the decision and takes it up 1274 at the November meeting and the Board makes a recommendation at the November meeting. It is conceivable that if 1275 the text amendment being reviewed next is approved, it could be scheduled at a public hearing in December, 1276 January, or February to review this case. 1277 1278 Lydia Wegman asked if there was a possibility that this could be reviewed at the November 14th quarterly public 1279 hearing if the Board made a decision at its November 1st meeting. 1280 1281 Michael Harvey said that would not be possible because of the heavy workload associated with getting meeting 1282 packets together. Draft minutes may not be done in time and the BOCC needs to be able to review the draft minutes 1283 to understand the Planning Board’s decision. There is not sufficient time. 1284 1285 Lydia Wegman said that she understood. 1286 1287 Kim Piracci asked – what if this gets put off for 6 months. Why would the developer say “nevermind?” 1288 1289 Lydia Wegman quickly noted that this project could potentially be heard in February 2018 at the quarterly public 1290 hearing, a 3 month delay. 1291 1292 Kim Piracci asked that if it were 6 months, why would the developer want to exit? 1293 1294 Jim Parker said that they are contractually-bond to the land. 1295 1296 Tony Blake said that it sounded like there was a contingency at play and there is an end date on it. 1297 1298 Kim Piracci asked if these properties had already been purchased. 1299 1300 Paul Guthrie said that it sounded like options to buy. 1301 1302 Jim Parker said that they are options, which is typical. 1303 1304 Kim Piracci asked if Mr. Parker could tell them when the contract expires. 1305 1306 Jim Parker told him that he will not tell the Board when the contracts expire as a matter of confidentiality between the 1307 seller and the buyers. 1308 1309 Lydia Wegman agreed that it was a matter of confidentiality. 1310 1311 Randy Marshall said that he is ready to make a motion. 1312 1313 Buddy Hartley said that this is as good an application that he has seen. Mr. Parker has covered about everything that 1314 needs to be covered. For the Board to make a recommendation on this, there is nothing that is not to approve. He 1315 said that the County does need senior housing somewhere. He said that he will be a senior someday too. 1316 1317
