ATTACHMENT 8 39 <br />DRAFT <br />230 <br />231 Craig Benedict stated that typically the Commissioners like to see options and at a Public <br />232 Hearing there should be a range to choose from. <br />233 <br />234 Chair Nicole Gooding-Ray asked if the Commissioners made a comment on the standard. <br />235 <br />236 Hunter Schofield replied they did not. <br />237 <br />238 Chair Nicole Gooding-Ray asked if they made any comments. <br />239 <br />240 Robert Davis replied that page 3 of the Board of County Commissioners Joint Public Hearing <br />241 minutes has some information on the changes. <br />242 <br />243 Hunter Schofield said comments were made about what impacts led staff to the numbers. He <br />244 recalled that Commissioner Brown was supportive of this process. <br />245 <br />246 Chair Nicole Gooding-Ray commented that some of the proposed processes did not involve <br />247 Commissioner review. <br />248 <br />249 Robert Davis replied that those never made it to the Public Hearing and commented that the 6-19 <br />250 lot major subdivision process will stay the same as it is now. <br />251 <br />252 a.2.1-Growth Management System Area Deliniation: <br />253 MOTION was made to adopt Option 1 by Jay Bryan and seconded by Barry Katz. <br />254 VOTE: Ayes: 8; No: 1 vote. Howard McAdams opposed. <br />255 <br />256 Howard McAdams stated that he would prefer Option 2 because the current proposals are based <br />257 on a 20 year map and if there will not be a change for another 20 years, decisions will be locked <br />258 in based on a decision of 40 years prior. <br />259 <br />260 Craig Benedict said the most restrictive plan was consistent with the comprehensive plan that 20 <br />261 years ago identified the 10 and 20-year growth areas. For the most part they are still valid <br />262 transition areas in this new water and sewer boundary. Using that as a phase plan would mean, <br />263 building there first and not expanding to the other area until the first area grows. It would help <br />264 Hillsborough to focus their water/sewer area to a more concentrated area. Option 2, which is less <br />265 restrictive, would liberalize something that they would not service, even in the short term. <br />266 <br />267 Ted Triebel asked if the plan was discussed with Hillsborough. <br />268 <br />269 Craig Benedict answered there was a presentation to the staff about the strategic growth plan. <br />270 There could still be growth in the water/sewer boundary with a more stringent process. The <br />271 Hillsborough Commission have been informed by their staff. He stated the Comprehensive Plan <br />272 should be reviewed every 5 years. <br />273 <br />39 <br />
