I updated and provided pdf and Word versions to the Clerk's office this morning at 9.
Please note that it's not yet showing on the 7/28 agenda, and an executive summary needs to be prepared. Also, I
changed the ad time (on top of ad) to 9am. Finally, I would like to get a copy of the actual ordinance that will go before

Subject: RE: BCC LDC Ad for Sign Code Revision
Catherine--
I have a couple of questions/concerns:
1. "Section" and "Sec." are used. I think we should pick one and stick to it for consistency.
2. There are a couple of misspelled words -- "Develoments" in Sec. 4.02.38, and "Abandonned" in Sec. 5.06.10 of the
ad.
3. Since we're striking and replacing, isn't it "repeal" and "add new section" (rather than "amend")? We may have
already discussed, but I want to be sure we're on the same page.
4. I would like to see the final ordinance we'll be proposing to the Board (whereas clauses, etc.).
The Clerk's office has graciously aI/owed me until tomorrow at 9am to make any last-minute changes. Please contact me
to discuss Thanks

acreage therein that is entitled through Stewardship Credits. The base
residential density does not restrict net residential density of parcels within an
SRA. The location, size and density of each SRA will be determined on an
individual basis, subject to the regulations below, during the SRA designation
review and approval process.
