46 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 95 BOCC on either a statement of consistency or statement of inconsistency in the proposed <br /> 96 attachments. Our hope is to get this before the BOCC in time for September the 5th. The <br /> 97 next case, when I stop here you can ask questions about this case, then I can move on to <br /> 98 the next one. <br /> 99 Adam Beeman: We have two members of the public that want to speak on number 9. <br /> 100 Lamar Proctor: Is that the next one? <br /> 101 Adam Beeman: This one we're on right now. <br /> 102 Jerry Blanchard: I'll decline.All of my questions have already been answered. <br /> 103 Adam Beeman: Are you Jerry? <br /> 104 Jerry Blanchard: Yes sir. <br /> 105 Adam Beeman: The only other member was Frank. <br /> 106 Frank Cohen: I also yield my time, Patrick covered everything I had to say. <br /> 107 Adam Beeman: All right, perfect. Go ahead Charity. <br /> 108 Charity Kirk: Clarifying Lamar's last question, the benefit of moving it is for future development <br /> 109 purposes and it's better that it's in one watershed versus the critical watershed. But this is <br /> 110 the correct boundary. <br /> 111 Lamar Proctor: That's right, from the surveying perspective, from a reality perspective and quite honestly, <br /> 112 the way that this works, they're entitled to that ridge line that was adopted by the county <br /> 113 commissioners and affirmed by the state, so this has more to do with helping staff not <br /> 114 have an inconsistency between the boundary line and an action that's already been taken. <br /> 115 Charity Kirk: But we can just change the line without surveying every single property along it. Okay. <br /> 116 Patrick Mallett: It unfortunately needs to be on a case-by-case basis as requested. We do provide some <br /> 117 relief to the property owner in the sense that this is more of our issue on the zoning <br /> 118 amendment of the overlay and it's a staff-initiated zoning. We're not asking them to pay <br /> 119 for what boils down to a mapping need. <br /> 120 Lamar Proctor: And I interpret your response and your answer to mean that effectively you help property <br /> 121 owners in terms of not creating some weirdly inconsistent engineering requirements for an <br /> 122 arbitrary line that doesn't follow the realities of water flow and would create headaches in <br /> 123 terms of civil engineering of any development on that particular parcel. <br /> 124 Patrick Mallett: Yes. <br /> 125 Chris Johnston: When we have a new applicant that comes before us, do they also have the survey team <br /> 126 go out to check and see where the water line actually is. <br /> 127 Patrick Mallett: That's what happened. Prior to the zoning or that train leaving the station. <br /> 128 Chris Johnston: So, any new development that comes before us is going to amend that little line. <br /> 129 Patrick Mallett: Record it as surveyors attesting that is the true ridge line. And then we notify the state and <br /> 130 then it goes to the county commissioners on an agenda so that they can receive that <br /> 131 information and accept it. <br />
