37 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 1703 know, restrictive districts on agricultural property that,you know, is super arable for farming, or do <br /> 1704 we want to,you know, intensify and increase this type of, you know, subdivision plat recording like <br /> 1705 closer to municipalities where inevitably,you know, if municipal utilities were expanded out,those <br /> 1706 neighborhoods would be the first to be hit. That, those are the types of things that I think that, like, <br /> 1707 that places an oneness back on us, and that is why we join these boards, so it is just something to <br /> 1708 think about as far as like rather than thinking about removing us from the process. It may place a <br /> 1709 higher responsibility on us to pay attention or for the public to use us as a resource. <br /> 1710 <br /> 1711 Charity Krik: Can you clarify what your suggestions were? It was to lengthen the NIM meanings. <br /> 1712 <br /> 1713 Beth Bronson: Increase the time to notification. <br /> 1714 <br /> 1715 Charity Kirk: You would suggest that before, before approval because you feel the mail is, does not come in <br /> 1716 14 days or does not come quickly enough? <br /> 1717 <br /> 1718 Beth Bronson: No. I feel like even if it came in 14 days, it is not enough time for the neighbors to receive, <br /> 1719 understand, reply, and make an assessment. I did not think so when we passed the ordinance or <br /> 1720 the LIDO amendment, and this is a great opportunity to suggest that instead of the 14-day <br /> 1721 requirement,we go back to a 30-day requirement because the neighborhood information meeting <br /> 1722 becomes the main point of public awareness for these subdivisions. <br /> 1723 <br /> 1724 Chris Johnston: So,what we can is add that as a potential amendment,vote on it separately as an add on and <br /> 1725 then move forward from there. <br /> 1726 <br /> 1727 Charity Kirk: Yup. That, but was that your,you have lots of thoughts, but that was the one thing about the <br /> 1728 amendment or was there something else. <br /> 1729 <br /> 1730 Beth Bronson: Yeah,that was a suggested. <br /> 1731 <br /> 1732 Chris Johnston: Yup. <br /> 1733 <br /> 1734 Charity Kirk: Okay. Was it,was there anything else? <br /> 1735 <br /> 1736 Beth Bronson: As far as the change? Oh. No. I think that anything I suggested like incorporating a planning <br /> 1737 board member into the development advisory committee just for awareness and then including it <br /> 1738 as an informational item. I think all of those can be done at the next meeting. <br /> 1739 <br /> 1740 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 1741 <br /> 1742 Beth Bronson: Like, that could be a suggestion in the coming months. I do not think that has to be added, like, 1 <br /> 1743 do not think that has to be included in this amendment. But I do think that these are things that <br /> 1744 rather than thinking about us being excluded,we can think about how are we going to participate <br /> 1745 more. <br /> 1746 <br /> 1747 Charity Kirk: How do we become better informed? <br /> 1748 <br /> 1749 Beth Bronson: How do we participate more,yes. How do we become better informed in that sense, but yeah, <br /> 1750 there is, all of the information is there. It is out there. <br /> 1751 <br /> 1752 Charity Kirk: Okay. <br /> 1753 <br /> 1754 Beth Bronson: Mm hmm. <br /> 1755 <br /> 1756 Charity Kirk: I do not have anything. Believe it or not. <br /> 1757 <br />
