23 <br /> Commissioner McKee said the requested condition is not inappropriate to consider at <br /> the meeting, because of the nature of the facility. He said the process is set up to allow these <br /> types of negotiations. <br /> Michael Harvey said he does not have any concerns about adding the storage facility. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said he understands Commissioner Hamilton's point. He said if <br /> the Applicant is changing the application, then it should be reviewed by staff and voted on a <br /> future date. He said if the Applicant is not making a change to the application, then it does not <br /> seem to be something the Board needs to consider. He said if it is not part of the project area, <br /> then the Board does not even need to talk about it, nor have justification for the item to return to <br /> the Board. <br /> Michael Harvey said the application does not include the extra storage building, and, <br /> ideally, it needs to be shown on the site plan. He said it is an accessory unit, so he would be <br /> willing to support the Applicant's request that a condition be imposed. He said it is not going to <br /> increase the additional storage space on the site, nor will it increase the impervious surface. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the extra storage facility was added to the application <br /> earlier in the process, would Michael Harvey have asked the Applicant to add it to the site plan. <br /> Michael Harvey said yes. <br /> Chad Abbott apologized for the late notice of this request.

He said this <br /> type of shed is a reasonable request <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Greene to <br /> close the public hearing. <br /> Roll call ensued <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Michael Harvey said if the Commissioners intend to take action, the action needs to <br /> include language that the request was approved, as amended, to include a 20 by 30 foot <br /> storage shed. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Greene to <br /> approve statement of consistency (attachment 8) and approve ordinance amending the Orange <br /> County zoning atlas with the addition of a condition imposed by the applicant to place a 20 by <br />
