277 <br /> Approved 8.7.24 <br /> 1402 this development is on Morrow Mill and Goldmine Loop. Emergency road is going to <br /> 1403 come out right in front of my daughter's house and my soon to be fourth grandchildren. <br /> 1404 Come out and please drive down Goldmine Loop, it still has gravel on it, it's still a gravel <br /> 1405 road in places. So, we moved out there to be in a rural area, rural community, and all <br /> 1406 those people along Goldmine Loop. They're going to put 300 people on 30 acres and no <br /> 1407 offense to them, but they're saying that the other 60 acres, two-thirds of this is going to be <br /> 1408 less forested. We all know that cannot happen. You cannot put a road in there, you <br /> 1409 cannot put sidewalks in there, berms in there, storm water drainage, and if they can dig a <br /> 1410 well there that gets 40 gallons a minute, they need to go into the well drilling business, <br /> 1411 because I've never heard of that before, that's not happening out there. I was not <br /> 1412 opposed to this initially; I just was listening with an open mind. Thanks for listening. I'm <br /> 1413 not as eloquent as all these other people but this is going to affect our lifestyle, 10 years <br /> 1414 of construction, please, 10 years. Thank you. <br /> 1415 <br /> 1416 Adam Beeman: Thank you. That concludes the public conversation, we're going to close the public <br /> 1417 comments and discuss amongst the board and see if we can't hash this out. Elizabeth, <br /> 1418 do you have any questions or concerns? <br /> 1419 <br /> 1420 Chris Johnston: What are we doing here? <br /> 1421 <br /> 1422 Adam Beeman: Work your way through, we have a motion one way or the other. <br /> 1423 <br /> 1424 Beth Bronson: Have any comments on the public comments, maybe we'd like to discuss any of this. <br /> 1425 <br /> 1426 Chris Johnston: Sure, I do want clarity real quick, because it was brought up in the previous meeting. Item <br /> 1427 8, in regard to how it, and I'm sorry, I'm used to looking at Cy and then Cy looks back at <br /> 1428 me, who am I looking at here today in terms of talking about Item 8? This is the one <br /> 1429 where we need to be in alignment with state law. Is that an accurate representation or is <br /> 1430 that an inaccurate representation? <br /> 1431 <br /> 1432 Charity Kirk: The family care, care facilities and, and master planning district. <br /> 1433 <br /> 1434 Lamar Proctor: It's Agenda Item No. 8. <br /> 1435 <br /> 1436 Perdita Holtz: So, the UDO text amendment, it's in the abstract. When we were researching it, we <br /> 1437 determined that state law requires that you cannot discriminate against family care homes <br /> 1438 if they're allowed in any residential area, they need to be allowed in all the residential <br /> 1439 areas or in a zoning district that allows residential, which MPD-CD does. It was an <br /> 1440 oversight when MPD-CD was created back in 2010 to not have the little star there <br /> 1441 indicating that you can apply for that. So, even if that text amendment does not get <br /> 1442 approved at this point, at some time staff will be back to add that tick mark to that. <br /> 1443 <br /> 1444 Chris Johnston: But to confirm, tonight, this is in front of us, to put us into alignment with state regulations. <br /> 1445 One way or another this has to occur unless we do what? There is no unless we do what, <br /> 1446 correct? <br /> 1447 <br /> 1448 Perdita Holtz: The text amendment, that stipulation, has multiple parts in the UDO. The part that I just <br /> 1449 described about having a little star in the table of permitted uses is the one thing that will <br /> 1450 have to occur at some point, whether it's part of this action or whether it's part of a future <br /> 1451 action initiated by staff. <br />
