He asked what the county would gain or lose. <br /> Chair Bedford said that staff would have to enforce the conditions. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he did not feel it was burdensome. <br /> Cy Stober said a zoning regulation applies to this property in perpetuity until it is <br /> amended by the board at a public hearing. He said if those items remain in as a condition, they <br /> would be enforceable actions, including, for example, if different parties within the HOA invite <br /> staff in as an arbitrator on say a bird house or a trash can. He said staff would be obligated to <br /> enforce that zoning regulation through enforcement methods. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked how the conditions were decided. <br />
