21 <br /> <br />Michael Harvey said the amendment is to move the items before the Planning Board 1 <br />meeting, so that becomes the effective component of this. He said, currently, it is measured 2 <br />from the public hearing. He said the purpose statement reflects that the public hearing is the 3 <br />operative meeting upon which date the meeting time frame has to be measured from. He said 4 <br />the notices will still be mailed 14 days prior to the meeting, and if the BOCC approves this 5 <br />ordinance amendment package, the 14 days will be measured from the Planning Board 6 <br />meeting, as opposed to the public hearing. 7 <br />Commissioner Jacobs said he understands that, but finds the written language seems to 8 <br />refer to the public hearing, and it does not refer to the Planning Board meetings at the top, or 9 <br />within the subject. 10 <br />Commissioner Jacobs said to change the wording to make the reference to the specific 11 <br />meeting. 12 <br />Chair Dorosin said to change the purpose to read, “14 days before the Planning Board 13 <br />meeting.” 14 <br />Michael Harvey said he would do so. 15 <br />Commissioner Price referred to the balloon tests, and asked if they would occur in 16 <br />January or February. 17 <br />Michael Harvey said no; the balloon test is typically held calendar days before a public 18 <br />hearing. He said the ordinance used to require an annual telecommunication meeting, where 19 <br />local telecommunication providers would meet with the County in January to certify what 20 <br />problems needed to be reviewed. He said the ordinance also used to limit when Class A 21 <br />Special Use Permits (SUP) could be reviewed. He said the ordinance was amended to provide 22 <br />more flexibility, as well as to address the conflict between not being able to hold one class of 23 <br />SUP and treat it differently than other classes of SUP. 24 <br /> 25 <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs for 26 <br />the Board to open the public hearing. 27 <br /> 28 <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS 29 <br /> 30 <br />NO PUBLIC COMMENT 31 <br /> 32 <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Price for the 33 <br />Board to close the public hearing. (Note that, because this is a legislative decision, additional 34 <br />comments at a later date are permitted). 35 <br /> 36 <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS 37 <br /> 38 <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price for the 39 <br />Board to adopt the proposed amendments by approving the Statement of Consistency 40 <br />(Attachment 3) and Ordinance (Attachment 4). 41 <br /> 42 <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if the change in language, as articulated by the Chair, is 43 <br />included in the resolution. 44 <br />Chair Dorosin said the word change is just in the abstract. 45 <br />Michael Harvey said it is correct in the attachments. 46 <br /> 47 <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS 48 <br /> 49
