14 <br /> <br />conditions 2-11 – are the same as they were in September 2016. The one <br />exception is the conservation easement language that was changed to replace <br />it with the word natural buffer. <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin: And that’s number one of those 11. <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: Yes. <br /> <br />Chair Dorosin: Great. <br /> <br />5. Chair will ask the applicant to make their presentation on the application. <br /> <br />6. The applicant will make their presentation and provide testimony and evidence as to <br />the project’s compliance with applicable land use regulations. <br /> <br />Brian Quinlan: Brian Quinlan, and I’ve been duly sworn in. We’ve got a packet of information; <br />a lot of it is similar to what you’ve already got from the County. There is a <br />presentation in the back that I can go through.

Questions will be asked of the applicant. <br /> <br />8. Chair will ask if there are any other individuals intending to provide testimony and <br />evidence on the project. <br />NONE <br />a.

Chair will ask staff to review the recommending findings for the project (Attachment 4 <br />beginning on page 141 of Item 5-A of the February 6, 2018 BOCC meeting packet). <br /> <br />Patrick Mallett: I think what I will do is go through these in groupings. Basically the findings of <br />fact are grouped into basic categories. You have your basic findings of fact,
