Approved 10.18.2023 <br /> 1 Rebecca Sorenson: Right. <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Beth Bronson: Does that make sense? <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Nathan Robinson: I'm not sure I understand what your concern is. <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Beth Bronson: Not putting fencing up when you are, if you are already going to be encroaching on that 30-foot setback, <br /> 8 and the idea is to have a natural barrier with the existing landscape. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Nathan Robinson: I believe they said they will create the buffer that would otherwise be required in the 30 foot? <br /> 11 <br /> 12 Beth Bronson: That was considered sufficient. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Nathan Robinson: On the development side of the road. Yeah. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Beth Bronson: Okay. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Ryan Moffitt: Just that was Rebecca Sorenson for the stenographer. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Leon Meyers: Okay. I apologize for cutting off anybody who had questions. Any other questions for staff or applicant? <br /> 21 Now we'll close the public hearing. And so, the matter is before the Board. Let's see. We're 2 hours in here. Would <br /> 22 you folks like to take a break? <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Beth Bronson: Just a 5-minute break? <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Leon Meyers: 5-minute break? How about that? Okay. We're back at 9:15. How about that? <br /> 27 <br /> 28 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT BREAKS FOR 5 MINUTES <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Leon Meyers: Okay, Board members. Discussion, comments? <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Beth Bronson: I mean, I guess my only point of discussion is that it has been reviewed by staff, and they are not making <br /> 33 a recommendation, but they have determined that it meets the qualifications of use for a camp under Section, what is it, <br /> 34 5.7.5 and as a retreat under 5.18.4. And I guess just that checklist, being within the packet, obviously, does anybody <br /> 35 have any comments or concerns based on that assessment of the camp and retreat, based on what we've heard in the <br /> 36 fact finding? <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Nathan Robinson: It's my observation, and Pat, you got, your team did really good job of filling out all the line items on <br /> 39 the checklist, so well done. On both the general and of the specific standards, so. I guess my only, my only question <br /> 40 is, I don't know if we can even ask Pat this at point. Can we, once we close the public hearing, can we ask questions to <br /> 41 staff while we're making the decision, or are we precludes, you know,just ourselves,just the board now at this point? <br /> 42 <br /> 43 James Bryan: I would recommend that you reopen the hearing. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Nathan Robinson: Okay. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Other Speaker: And that's generally fine. There's generally not going to be any objection to that if you haven't allowed <br /> 48 people to leave. Nobody's asked to leave, so you could reopen it, ask any questions. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Leon Meyers: So, without objection then, the public hearing is open again. <br /> 33 <br />
