It depends on the nature of the development.39 <br />40 <br />Hunter Spitzer: I have a comment about the consideration of past performance.41 <br />42 <br />Michael Harvey: That’s a state rule but I’d like to hear your comment43 <br />44 <br />Hunter Spitzer: So the state rule is that an applicant’s record may be considered for up to two years prior to the 45 <br />application date, it seems that if we are extending the erosion control, we would extend that as well – to five years.46 <br />47 <br />Michael Harvey: We can look into that but I think I am going to be pretty limited. As a reminder, we will have to 48 <br />submit this ordinance package to the state for approval. They don’t allow us to operate carte blanche – we are a 49 <br />locally delegated program but we do have a tight leash. I can look into the past performance issue.50 <br />51 <br />52 <br /> 9
