Approved 8.7.24 <br /> <br /> 353 <br />Charity Kirk: But it's 3 minutes per item. 354 <br /> 355 <br />Adam Beeman: Correct. 356 <br /> 357 <br />Charity Kirk: So, which item are you? 358 <br /> 359 <br />Adam Beeman: Item 7 is the first one up. So, comprehensive plan, future land use map, and text 360 <br />amendments, but before we start that, Laura Streitfeld has the floor for 12 minutes. 361 <br /> 362 <br />Statler Gilfillen: Can I just make a comment. I think we all remember that one of the greatest speeches in 363 <br />American history about one of the most complex things ever said was the Gettysburg 364 <br />address. Lincoln condensed it down into 2 minutes. You have each got 3½ minutes. 365 <br />Thank you. 366 <br /> 367 <br />Chris Johnston: I apologize, so to confirm we have re-split up the 3-minute speaking time for someone 368 <br />based on – 369 <br /> 370 <br />Charity Kirk: I thought it was 9 minutes total. 371 <br /> 372 <br />Adam Beeman: Based on what I have, I'm going to read your name and if you happen to be on another 373 <br />page, you're going to get your name and you come back for another 3 minutes and if 374 <br />you're on another page, I'm going to read your name again, you're going to come up and 375 <br />get your third 3 minutes. That's the way that this has been labeled. 376 <br /> 377 <br />Chris Johnston: All right. Does there need to be a clarification of what the speaker is talking about when 378 <br />they come up to speak. 379 <br /> 380 <br />Charity Kirk: I thought it was just 9 minutes total and all at once. 381 <br /> 382 <br />Adam Beeman: Nope. Because, technically, you signed up to speak on that particular amendment, and if 383 <br />you don't, you're not talking about that topic, then it's kind of just tough. I'm just going to 384 <br />let everybody have their time and we're going to listen to what everybody has to say. 385 <br /> 386 <br />Charity Kirk: I would, I would rather not have people repeat the same thing 3 minutes, 3 minutes, and 3 387 <br />minutes. 388 <br /> 389 <br />Adam Beeman: Correct, that's why I asked to not be redundant. Just stand up and agree with the 390 <br />previous person if that's what you do, make it strong. The floor is yours. 391 <br /> 392 <br />AGENDA ITEM 7: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FUTURE LAND USE MAP (FLUM) AND TEXT AMENDMENTS – To 393 <br />continue review and make a recommendation to the BOCC on applicant-initiated amendments to the 2030 394 <br />Comprehensive Plan to amend the FLUM to expand a Rural Neighborhood Activity Node (RNAN); and to 395 <br />amend the text of Appendix F: Land Use and Zoning Matrix. The BOCC public hearing date is β€œto be 396 <br />determined.” 397 <br /> 398 <br />Laura Streitfeld: I'm Laura Streitfeld, and I live on Morrow Farm Lane off of Morrow Mill Road in Bingham 399 <br />Township. I'm speaking first about Item 7. According to the planning director, until this 400 <br />application no developer has asked to change the county's comprehensive plan, which is 401 <br />guided by robust public participation. This meeting is continued and although some of us 402
