4.3 Brian Dobyns: My understanding was that farm structures did not need a building permit. Glenn Bowles: If this is a critical issue, perhaps we could do some type of outreach to notify the farmers of the new regulations,. Renee Price-Saunders: On page 2 it defines an accessory structure, it lists structures and goes to farms. This maybe too general, and you may want to be more specific. Glenn Bowles: We can make some changes as long as we don't make it less exacting.. Renee Price-Saunders: We can make it more pertinent to rural areas. Craufurd Goodwin: Was it a misprint that lumber was listed under chemical compounds? Glenn Bowles: Lumber was on one of the original lists. Typically lumber is not a chemical compound, Jay Bryan: Treated lumber could be. Glenn Bowles: There are a number of commodity storage units in the floodplain as well, so we have to be careful how it's addressed. Especially with regard to junkyards. Jeffrey Schmitt: What is the basis that this will be released to the general public in a readable fashion? Will there be a general notice in the paper? Jay Bryan: Do you mean will there be an educational component after the ordinance is approved? You may want to identify particular people that might be affected. Glenn Bowles: We have already sent letters to two types of individuals affected by the change, but did not address the third type of homeowners who will continue to be in the floodplain. We have also run legal ads in the newspapers about the proposed regulation changes. Jeffrey Schmitt: I have property in the floodplain and had I not been at this meeting, I probably would not be aware of the changes,. Glenn Bowles: There are 3,228 parcels that have some land in the floodplain. Mass mailings don't often generate interest either, but we could possibly use some other form, Jay Bryan: You may want to identify a communication process. Renee Price-Saunders: You could put it up in various County buildings. Craufurd Goodwin: Are individuals prohibited from storing items (i.e., piles of gravel, cement logs, bricks, etc.) that will disturb the natural flow of water)? Brian Dobyns: Such as the use of temporary storage. Glenn Bowles: There can be a new item to clarify this. Renee Price-Saunders: One concern you mentioned is the concern of downstream flow, but when the rivers swell, they go outward, not down or up.
