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