a � <br /> McAdams:Well,the current rile is that within 1000 feet property owners are notified. So,are you asking <br /> that that 1000 feet be increased to another number? <br /> Tadd:Yes. <br /> Price:You are asking that other areas also be included right? <br /> Gooding-Ray:What areas do not have neighborhood notification besides the rural buffer? <br /> Benedict:There are no other areas. <br /> Price:There I think we need to look at that also.If you are in a rural area 500 R is nothing. <br /> Gooding-Ray: Does someone have a proposal for how many feet it should be? <br /> Tadd: I would like to suggest that the area of notification be extended to at least a half mile radius in the <br /> rural buffer. 500 feet is absolutely nothing. <br /> Price:What about the nual area? <br /> Craufurd Goodwin: Is this something that requires deliberative thought?Why don't we ask the staff team <br /> to examine this question and return to us with a recommendation and the issues laid out. <br /> Tadd: I will defer to Craufurd. <br /> Howard: I second it. <br /> Schofield: I am not going to accept that. I will comment on this motion.We have 500 feet already in place <br /> it is a gaping hole right now I suggest moving forward and making it consistent with the other <br /> jurisdictions. Give our staff 30,60, 90 days to study,deliberate,I don't want to be open during that time. I <br /> would like to close that gap at least at 500 feet until that time at which we may revisit the issue. That is <br /> my thinking,if you don't like it we can tam it down or come back. <br /> Gooding-Ray: Please restate your motion in its entirety. <br /> MOTION: <br /> Schofield:That all major subdivisions in the rural butler require a neighborhood notification process at <br /> the current standard of 500 feet. <br /> Price: I am wondering since we are going through this process now,if 500 feet is inadequate also in the <br /> rural area. <br /> Benedict:All I want to say is this is definitely a glitch in the rural buffer as exemplified by tonight's <br /> input. I don't want to put together a band-aid approach where we fix one thing,but the underlying root <br /> problem is still a problem.What I would suggest is give staff a chance to talk about the area surrounding <br /> the nual buffer that includes minimum lot sizes and lets bring all that back in a package to <br /> comprehensively look at it and one of the elements will be the justification. (end tape) <br /> Price: I don't like this band-aid approach. <br />
