Approved 7/1/2015 5 197 Tony: 1 question for Mike, this temporary structure does this count against your impervious surface? 198 199 Michael Harvey: Everything counts against your impervious surface if it meets the definition. 200 201 Paul Guthrie: Between the septic laws and the impervious surface, I think there can be lots of decisions 202 made on the process. 203 204 Lydia Wegman: Craig & Michael you mentioned co-housing and it sounds like some discussion is going on, 205 is that something this could incude addressing this problem that we’re talking about? 206 207 Craig Benedict: Yes. I think this could go true we have new initiatives about affordable housing about small 208 housing but we’ve been trying to describe these new housing opportunities out there. Are they mobile 209 homes, are they RVs, are they micro houses, we will be presenting to the commissioners probably in 210 September of this year. These other type of housing options would address bringing the parents back in the 211 house. We’re into that process, we would expect getting a green light to address some of those issues in 212 September or October and bringing forward later this year. 213 214 Lydia Wegman: And would that kind of thing come to the planning board fi the commissioners said go? 215 216 Craig Benedict: Yes, definitely. 217 218 Lydia Wegman: Thank you. 219 220 Pete Hallenbeck: We have a statement of consistency to vote on and it says this isn’t against what’s in the 221 comprehensive plan. It addresses a .25% improvement on that plan. We’ll need a motion to vote on that 222 and then vote on the specific amendment items here. We’ll make a recommendation to the BOCC on the 223 statement of consistency that yes we think it is consistent. 224 225 MOTION made by: Buddy Hartley. Seconded by: Bryant Warren 226 227 Lydia Wegman: Housing goal #2 – Housing that is useable by as many people as possible regardless of 228 age, ability or circumstances but this is only useable by one person 229 230 Tony Blake: 1 income 231 232 Laura Nicholson: it also says affordable housing earlier in that. 233 234 Lydia Wegman: I don’t think it’s consistent so ia m going to vote No. 235 236 Pete Hallenbeck: The comprehensive plan and the UDO are often in conflict with each other. 237 238 Lydia Wegman: I know that. 239 240 Pete Hallenbeck: We want affordable housing and we want sidewalks. 241 242 Lydia Wegman: I realize that I will just note this requirement to vote on consistency is an empty 243 requirement because as you say Pete, there’s always a lot of inconsistent things in the comprehensive plan 244 and you could find something to support almost any position in the plan. 245 35
