MEMBERS ABSENT: Gary Hanker, Michael Warner, Steve Price, Commissioner Stephen Halkiotis, and Commissioner Don Willhoit. STAFF PRESENT: Planners Gene Bell and David Stancil and Deputy Clerk to the Board Kathy Baker. FACILITATOR PRESENT: Verla Insko ANNOUNCEMENTS: Gene Bell mentioned that future meetings will be held at the Emergency Management Services facility. Planner Mary Willis is scheduled to give a status report on the Concept Plans for the area that has become known as University Station. This report will be presented at the next meeting. Cheri Rosemond, Planning Board representative, has resigned and been replaced by Renee Price. MINUTES: The minutes of the June 1821995 were approved by consensus. Lee Rafalow mentioned that the last newsletter stated that general consensus had been reached on a number of items. He felt that this was a misrepresentation and that, in fact, consensus had not been reached. Keith Cook reported that he recently heard a report on proposed activity in the Stoney Creek area which led him to question if any development plans have been finalized for this area. Gene Bell replied that Mary Willis will be reporting on those concept plans at the next meeting. The developers have presented the concept plan which means that the plans are not finalized. However, when proposed developments meet the requirements established by County ordinances, those plans will be approved regardless of where this Work Group is in its process. He explained that if recommendations from this group were adopted by the Board of Commissioners, all proposed developments, which had not already received Preliminary Approval, would be required to meet the new standards. Clint Burklin said that any recommendations made by this group would have a greatly increased impact if those recommendations were a result of a consensus by the group. Verla Insko mentioned the importance of articulating core values out of which guidelines are created. For example, valid information means that it is correct and accurate as well as complete. Also, being committed to the outcome is critical to the success of this work. If information appears to be missing it is important to bring that information to the table now rather than at a Public Hearing. DEFINING RURAL CHARACTER: Verla Insko suggested that each participant share their definition of Rural Character.
