APPROVED WITH CORRECTIONS 4.3.24 597 Perdita Holtz: That is correct. 598 599 Adam Beeman: So, first class rate for however many notifications you're going to send, that's expensive, at 600 some point, that burden becomes too much, and they'll certainly be at the state house. 601 602 Cy Stober: And, Mr. Chair,that has been the informal conversation we've had with our staff is the applicant 603 has a legal responsibility to notify everyone who could possibly be affected by a special use permit or a zoning 604 case that's tied to a property. When does that threshold end? When are they simply notifying folks? Because 605 the county wants them to, not because they're individuals who'll be directly affected by a change in use on a 606 property. That's kind of been the key takeaway. 607 608 Steve Kaufmann: I remember we had a conversation about this last year. When the signs were brought 609 up about the quality of the signs, and it was mentioned that they're going to improve, did that happen? 610 611 Cy Stober: Yes. And, I don't know when that was when Ashley came and we went through the website, but our 612 social media presence,our website presence are,we use X,we use Facebook,we are getting the word out there 613 in so many more ways than we were before. We have a new newsletter and that is more interactive and 614 integrative with social media. There are so many more resources that we have that use contemporary 615 technology and practices. So, yes, we have better signs that we put physically out there in the world that are 616 easier to see and to maintain, and we're always looking to improve, so please give us feedback if you think of a 617 way that we could make things a little bit better, but we are, I think, leaps and bounds beyond where we were a 618 year ago in terms, particularly our online presence and notifying folks through social media and email. 619 620 Adam Beeman: I would say since my time on this planning board for 7 years that the county has made huge 621 strides in trying to educate the public, notify the public, and engage the public. Public doesn't necessarily want to 622 be engaged, but they demand, so they're doing their best. I assure you it's a heck of a lot better than it ever used 623 to be. So, have faith that they are trying to move in the right direction. And also, last thing, tonight is Melissa's 624 last night. She's rotating off. This is her last night, so I thank you for your service on the board, and we 625 appreciate your time. 626 627 AGENDA ITEM 9: ADJOURNMENT 628 629 MOTION BY Melissa Poole to adjourn meeting.
