38 <br /> Beth Trahos said that condition 10 in the agenda packet did not contain that sentence, <br /> and that it was only on the presentation slide. <br /> Planning staff reviewed the material to determine if there were any inconsistencies. <br /> John Roberts said that the last sentence in condition 10 was a duplicated sentence from <br /> condition 1 and it could be stricken. <br /> Cy Stober said it would need to be stricken in the statement of consistency and the <br /> ordinance. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he had concerns with the public safety of entering and exiting <br /> the development, and he had no guarantees that turn lanes would go in. <br /> Chair Bedford said she appreciated the additional water analysis information. <br /> Commissioner Carter said as they look at the future land use plan, the Board needs to <br /> discuss about how much additional protected land they might want to have in the LIDO. She <br /> said she supports the request because she sees value in a denser configuration of the lots. <br /> She said she also was in favor because it uses individually sited septic on each lot, which will <br /> reduce the overall risk of septic issues. She said she was also in favor because it preserves an <br /> additional 10 acres than would have otherwise been preserved under R-1 zoning. She said <br /> when they consider the good to the community, they have to remember both the neighbors as <br /> well as the property owners. She hoped that if there were any well issues that the HOA would <br /> engage in friendly and cordial discussion. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Chair Bedford, to approve <br /> the statement of consistency (Attachment 7) and the zoning atlas amendments (Attachment 9), <br /> subject to striking the duplicated sentence in condition 10 and deletion of conditions 8b through <br /> 8f, which will be confirmed in writing. <br /> Vice-Chair Hamilton said she would not support the motion. She said she was not <br /> confident in the water study and the risk of well failure is too great. She said that they should <br /> take time to understand things before they vote, and she looks forward to getting a deeper look <br /> when considering updates to the land use plan. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Chair Bedford, Commissioner Carter, Commissioner Greene, <br /> Commissioner Fowler, Commissioner Portie-Ascott); Nays, 2 (Vice-Chair Hamilton, <br /> Commissioner McKee) <br /> MOTION PASSES <br /> 6.
