Approved 7/1/2015 4 148 Pete Hallenbeck: That’s where your submittal requirements came from the state law? 149 150 Ashley Moncado: Yes, all of this is the state law. We cannot change it if it’s not identical it’s very similar. 151 152 Paul Guthrie: The owner of the property has to be a NC resident and the recipient of the housing has to be 153 a NC resident. 154 155 Ashley Moncado: Yes 156 157 Paul Guthrie: The lawyers are going to have a field day with this one. 158 159 Pete Hallenbeck: And it’s going to cost you about $100,000. 160 161 Craig Benedict: Whey you get a mandate from the state and you start trying to tweak it it’s a slippery slope. 162 So we can resolve some of the options about having people not related by blood living in these accessory 163 structures. I would suggest let’s get this statue, preemption of a lot of our other rules, put in and address 164 the other issues about being more flexible and not having the relationship stuff addressed by other portions 165 of the code. Right now how many people do we allow unrelated by blood in the house? 166 167 Ashley Moncado: 3 168 169 Craig Benedict: Some places allow more than that so I mean there could be a case where you want to go 170 up to 4 or 5 so we would be suggesting other amendments to the code to allow housing opportunities that’s 171 the new trend. I think we could make an amendment to this and the state says are you adhering to us and 172 we say yes and made it even better and they are like Orange County did something again to our 173 minimums. That’s just an idea I think we can address other sections of the code and since the state is 174 asking for this almost verbatim it would be better to let this fly. 175 176 Pete Hallenbeck: I don’t want to take a bad idea and say we combed it’s hair and put lipstick on it and now 177 it’s good. 178 179 Lydia Wegman: Craig, when you say address it in the code you would have to develop new amendments to 180 the code 181 182 Craig Benedict: Yes 183 184 Lydia Wegman: Added to the long list already 185 186 Lisa Stuckey: You could do a completely identical parallel amendment to the code and just change the 187 things we like. We could have 2 of them sitting there. 188 189 Pete Hallenbeck: I’ll remind everybody that we have this dinner with the commissioners every year and 190 that’s an opportunity to say here are areas that we think would be interesting to look at this might be a very 191 good thing to look at and now you’re going to go through the right process instead of tweaking it and if this 192 goes away, we could still have our solution. 193 194 Laura Nicholson: I withdraw my amendment request however this is a solution without a problem. It’s a 195 unaffordable ridiculous thing but I am all for complying with state regulations. 196 34
