Good Evening, if I 32 <br />could just say a few words about this item. I think it would be helpful and I can reference page numbers that are in 33 <br />your packet that I think would be helpful as well. So thank you for your service to the Planning Board members. The 34 <br />purpose of this item is to clarify the motion that was made at the August 5th Planning Board Meeting and to revote on 35 <br />the County initiated amendments to the Land Use Plans. In your agenda packet, this item is on pages 33-38. While 36 <br />the intent of the Boards’ action was clear on August 5th , through review of the meeting recording, staff discovered 37 <br />that the motion included reading from materials related to a subsequent agenda item. Planning staff is not 38 <br />suggesting that the Board revisit its discussion but rather to repeat the correct motion and revote so that the minutes 39 <br />of tonight’s meeting can be crystal clear. The draft minutes are an informational item in your packet. This item is 40 <br />discussed on pages 15 to 16, which would be the discussion that you had on this item at your August 5th meeting. 41 <br />The Planning Director’s recommendation is included in your abstract which is on page 34 and that is to approve the 42 <br />resolution contained in attachment 1 which is right after the abstract, pages 35 – 37. What we need from the Board 43 <br />this evening is to recommend to the County Commissioners approval of the resolution, which is attachment 1, 44 <br />reflecting the proposed Land Use Plan Amendments. We need a second to that motion and then a roll call vote. 45 <br />That concludes my introduction. 46 <br /> 47 <br />(Randy Marshall nodded head in agreement to this clarifying language) 48 <br /> 49 <br />David Blankfard asked for a second to the motion, as clarified by Mr. Altieri. Adam Beeman seconded. 50 51 <br />ROLLCALL VOTE: 52 <br />Melissa Poole: No 53 <br />Randy Marshall: Yes 54 <br />Adam Beeman: Yes 55 <br />20
