MOTION: Bryan: I just have a proposal just to move it along that we could consider.That we request the commissioners to hold a special meeting to reopen the public hearing on Tuscany Ridge,receive public comment and as well have staff research recommendations on the issues brought up at this planning meeting. Those would include the size and configuration of the development,the effect of the development and land topography on adjoining properties in terms of wells and stormwater management, the paving of Arthur Minnis Rd.,and the notification process for adjoining property owners in the rural buffer. Gooding-Ray:You are making a motion? Bryan: I am putting it on the table just to move things along. Gooding-Ray: Move? Seconders?No fiuther discussion? Price:I think we really need to point out the hydrological situation and geological,because I really think in order to reopen the hearing we have to show that there is some kind of a flaw otherwise we might not be able to have a meeting or trigger further,action. Bryan:What I think I heard was that staff was going to send the minutes from this meeting in total to the board including those minutes in support of our resolution., Schofield: Just one quick comment. I have a series of points where I think it is really our it is a problem of the regulation that there is not a notification process in the rural buffer that is absurd on its face and it has got to be changed. And perhaps that should be part of the second point is that I am not going to apologize for passing Tuscany Ridge and I hope no one else here on the board will either.While we perhaps don't know all the contours of your community or neighborhood,I don't know that you know the contours of our board and how hard we anguish to try to stretch the rules and win concessions for the neighborhoods from every developer that comes before us.But there are rules and we are doing the best we can with what tools we have got.And,we are not the ones who change the rules.We do-our best to try to limit those impacts. I am going to support the resolution wholeheartedly,and my hope is that three things happen from the people who are here today and that is that they make the demands that the commissioners revisit this issue,that they do pursue a"litigativer track and that perhaps at some point decide what perhaps they can live with and perhaps approach the developers and see if negotiations to some agreeable resolution can be reached because that may ultimately be,if you can't stop the development and your process of delaying it at lease a way of getting to some at least acceptable resolution and maybe that could include moving the density from 22 to 15 or 11 or some type of density that you feel is appropriate to the area.I hope that you consider that track as well. VOTE: Gooding-Ray: Any further discussion before we have a vote on this?The hearing all in favor say aye, opposed. It's unanimous. So is then:any further discussion about this issue? Schofield: I would like to propose that we with all haste,we change the procedure for big subdivisions proposed in the rule development to include neighborhood notification. Tadd: I would like to extend that to..I am not in the rural buffer but our neighborhood wasn't told about a development either so,it is not just the rural buffer,but the rural area including the rural buffer. I want to extend the notification to include a large area.All neighborhoods ought to be notified about a big development project. I don't think it should just be in the rural buffer.
