13 <br /> <br />2. Conduct the Public Hearing and receive sworn testimony and evidence as well as the <br />Planning Board and staff recommendation(s) on the application; <br />3. Close the public hearing; <br />4. Review and make a decision on the Findings of Fact and Conditions of Approval as <br />contained in Attachment 9. <br />** Once the public hearing is closed there can be no further questions asked/answered <br />by the staff, the applicant, or other party and no additional evidence can be placed into <br />the record. If additional information is needed, the BOCC should continue the public <br />hearing to a date/time certain in order to hear the information in a quasi-judicial setting. <br />** <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: I’ll briefly walk you through the packet. This is everything that’s required for a <br />special use permit, per our ordinance. On page 1-4, you’ve got the abstract, <br />with all the overview information. On page 5-138, is their actual application. <br />That’s rather lengthy, but there are a lot of pieces that have to be submitted by <br />the Applicant to support the findings of fact. Page 140 is the site assessment, <br />that’s Attachment 3. Attachment 4, page 141-150 are the findings of fact. <br />Those are the staff recommendations – all the applicable findings of fact are in <br />the affirmative, both from the staff perspective and the Planning Board. Then <br />we have Attachment number 6; the neighborhood information materials, <br />documenting that neighborhood meeting. Attachment 7- page 215 - public <br />hearing mailing certifications, which are required. Attachment number 8 is the <br />expert of the Planning Board minutes. Attachment number 9 is the Board of <br />Commissioners findings of fact. And Attachment number 10, on page 227, is <br />the legal advertisement. <br /> <br />I would draw your attention, obviously, to Attachment number 9, which is the <br />item that, once the hearing is closed, you will go through each of those findings, <br />and make your determinations. With that I’m free to answer any questions you <br />may have. <br /> <br />Questions from Board of County Commissioners <br />Commissioner Price: In the handout, you mention the chain link security fence, and then on <br />this map, it says it has barbed wire. So which is it? <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: It would be chain link with barbed wire on the top around the whole thing. <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin: I just have one: Attachment 9 that says “BOCC Findings of Fact,” that’s from <br />the last time, that’s from the February meeting when we heard this the first <br />time. Is that right? <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: That’s an updated version of that. You had findings of fact that you originally <br />considered when you originally approved this. <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin: These are the blank ones that we have to find tonight. <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: That’s right. That’s where you go through and reapprove each one of those <br />findings of fact. And I would note that at the end of that are the conditions of <br />approval. You would include those as part of your decision, and all of those –
