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