Bob Mulhere moved to endorse the Community Development's Software
Replacement Budget Schedule. Second by Dino Longo. Carried 9-2.
Abbott & Disney voting "no".
C. Eastern Lands/Rural Fringe LDC Amendments -
A lengthy discussion followed on the limited amount of time between the various
committee meetings that the Amendments need to be heard at. If the DSAC
members wish their comments to be heard at the Planning Commission, they need
to discuss them before that time.
Patrick White - Assistant County Attorney responded this has been a
collaborative process package. Those that have drafted and responsible for the
amendments will not have the benefit of the DSAC's comments. He suggested
they put them in the record and give them to Mr. Mulhere so they can be
addressed.
Mr. Mulhere mentioned because of the three years they have been working on
the policies, they are almost like the LDC policies and most are verbatim of the
GMP policies. The process is something he feels they should have some
discussion on. He would like to work through them now, set up another meeting
or go back to Sub-Committee and deal with them in December.
He then referred to a guest, Brian MacKenzie, wishing to discuss how oil and gas
rights are addressed in the LDC Amendments. There is some conflicting
information.
He talked about regulations, property rights, and creating a new system.
Mr. MacKenzie stated:
BCC not interested in regulating Oil & Gas
- County legal consultants are involved
- Need to sit with staff and address issues including environmental.
It was decided to cover the Eastern Land/Rural Fringe LDC
Amendments at the Sub-Committee, Wednesday, November 19th at
3:00 PM. Everyone is to keep their packets and bring to the meeting.
VI. Subcommittee Reports: A. Land Development Regulation (Bob Duane) - no report.
B. Operations & Budget (Dino Longo) - no report.

Committee Member Reports:
Blair (Resubmittal Committee) asked if those members whose terms are
ending have been notified and interested in serving again. Peter
VanArsdale said he is interested in serving. Discussion followed on
the review and submittal process. Terms expire November 14th.
The Committee asked about a new member, Clay Brooker, and whether he has
been notified of the meetings - and he has.
David Ellis reported on the Board of County Commissioners Workshop on
building heights and that they basically adopted what was suggested earlier - not
really changing, but to modify the definition to clarify the actual building height
and add a definition for zoning height.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was
adjourned by order of the Chair at 5:30 PM.
