17 <br />1 suggested that someone look at the difference between "more than" and "over" and "less" and <br />2 "fewer" in dealing with quantities, because they are not interchangeable. Also, the City of <br />3 Durham is "it" and not "who." Also, Durham Technical Community College prefers to be called <br />4 Durham Technical Community College; and interchanging "manufactured housing community" <br />5 and "mobile home parks" would be easier. <br />6 Commissioner Gordon agreed with having more time to digest this. She suggested <br />7 working with the Planning Board and staff to adjust the timeline rather than trying to craft it <br />8 tonight. <br />9 Jay Bryan said that, on behalf of the Planning Board, it is ready to hear from the County <br />10 Commissioners about their thoughts. He suggested that the Commissioners should have a <br />11 work session or two before there is more public comment. <br />12 Chair Jacobs said that the County Commissioners break on June 20, and they could <br />13 consider two weeks in June where there are not two meetings. A work session could be <br />14 scheduled during one of those two weeks. <br />15 Commissioner Nelson suggested that it would probably take two work sessions, one in <br />16 June and one after the second public hearing. <br />17 Judith Wegner said that the Planning Board has been having almost weekly meetings <br />18 and the reality is that the Planning Board will change significantly soon. <br />19 Michelle Kempinski echoed Judith Wegner's comments and said that the Planning Board <br />20 has been having many meetings. <br />21 Renee Price said that she would like instructions and direction from the Commissioners <br />22 as to the revisions that are going to be made. There have been goal changes suggested by the <br />23 public, and she would like direction on whether the goals will be changed. <br />24 Larry Wright said that the transportation objectives are not in the current draft. Tom <br />25 Altieri said that they are referenced in the Comprehensive Plan and are included in the <br />26 appendices. <br />27 Geof Gledhill suggested that the Board adjourn this public hearing to the next public <br />28 hearing on August 2e and keep the public hearing open. The County Commissioners can hold <br />29 work sessions in the interim and invite the Planning Board to participate. <br />30 Chair Jacobs suggested that the Board make it a point to finish the business in one work <br />31 session. <br />32 A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br />33 adjourn the public hearing to be reconvened at the next Quarterly Public Hearing on August 25, <br />34 2008. <br />35 Commissioner Gordon added a friendly amendment to the motion to instruct staff to <br />36 work with the Planning Board and others to develop a new timeline and also that the public be <br />37 notified of the BOCC Work Session. <br />38 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 4. Zoning Ordinance Amendment: REVIEW of a proposed ordinance amendment to <br />42 Article Six (6) Section 6.20.1 Large Ground Absorption System (3,000 gallons per <br />43 day) and Package Treatment Plants Prohibited in AR Districts and Rural Buffer <br />44 Districts clarifying the type of projects that are required to obtain a Special Use <br />45 Permit or Planned Development approval for a proposed ground absorption system <br />46 that has a design capacity over 3,000 gallons per day of sanitary sewage disposal. <br />47 Pumose: To receive public comment on proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. <br />48 <br />49 Michael Harvey said that staff was reviewing several different projects, one of which was <br />50 proposing a large ground absorption system over 3,000 gallons per day. One of the concerns <br />
