~. ~ ~ _., w~ .. -.. ~ . _ .. . 1Q rules be similar, both in the rural buffer and in other sections of the County. Commissioner Brown asked about the village option and Craig Benedict said that it is an option of flexible development. It is a very dense development. It is more appropriate for transition areas. Commissioner Brown would like this addressed at some point to make sure that it is only an option that is available in public water and sewer areas. Barry Katz asked the Board of County Commissioners to review the village options. He said that the only place where a village option would make sense would be where there was access to municipal services or public water and sewer. Geoff Gledhill read from section 8.8.29.1, subsection `d' as follows: "If the residential lots are proposed to be served by a community water and/or sewer system, proof that the systems will be operating either directly or through a contract with the water and/or sewer provider whose service area or interest area as defined in the Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement include the subdivided land." This is attempting to open the door to these community systems if the utility provider would be responsible for them. Commissioner Gordon said that the provision on page nine deserves further scrutiny. She does not believe that this says what Geoff Gledhill explained. It needs to be said more clearly somehow. Craig Benedict will work with Geoff Gledhill on this. Commissioner Gordon agreed that the village option should have public water and sewer. Renee Price is concerned about cost and the impact this has on others. She asked who would pick up the tab for running the line. There was no public comment on this item. e.
