dam+ Triebel: I would like to give staff a chance to come back with some kind of comprehensive list instead of, I don't see the need of jumping right now at this point without having it fleshed out a little bit more. Gooding-Ray: I would like to make my comments.I feel an urgent need after listening to these people to pass something right now.It is very frightening to me if we have any area in the county where people are not notified. Price: But this isn't going to go anywhere right?You passed a motion but that requires an ordinance change. Gooding-Ray: Yes. So,the county commissioners will have to deal with that. So in the meantime the staff can research this issue and we can pass another resolution at that time. Tadd: I would like to address Price's point.Going back once again to the Woodlands,there were only two people notified because there were only two people that lived within 500 feet of the development but it affected a huge area.And so,the whole idea of 500 feet,I have to agree with you it is just not nearly adequate. Triebel: I agree with that too. I would just like to get the information to do it right,that is all I am saying. MOTION: Tadd: That all major subdivisions in the Waal buffer require a notification process at 500 feet. Lasris 2'd. Price: so how many yeas and how many nays do we have? Gooding-Ray:What I heard was that there were 3 nays on the record.But it is not really in place.It is a resolution. Benedict:It is a lengthy process and we are going to move with all due speed to get this item on there. I think that we are going to be able to catch up those other issues.That is the game plan. Lasris: I want to say one thing for the record. Even if we listen to all these people and we hear their concerns,we have to follow the ordinances.These developers crossed the T's and dotted the I's and what else do we have,what else could we have done,but said it is OK.What else could we have done?When will we have that power to actually change that? Gooding-Ray:We will never have that power to change the ordinance. Lasris: Then why do we meet? Gooding-Ray: The theory will be that the Commissioners have that power. We are here to make a recommendation to the Commissioners to use that power. We can say we don't like it because of this, because of that ....because it meets the regulations,but you have to be an elected official in order to have legislative power in North Carolina and we can beg all we want but we're not going to get it. Triebel: I'm trying to say I may have made a different recommendation if I'd heard that two wells had gone dry and one guy had a lot that didn't perk and yada yada yada;that's all valuable information, and maybe we couldn't have done anything other than what you were saying,but we could have recommended something different, so I think we do have the power—quote unquote-to do something. .:.12
