:;mtnologyposes no problem.
~::~ In response to Dwight Nadeau, Mr. Baginskt explained that salmon
Side sheet 2-161, Section 2.6.7.1.1, was proposed for change at the
behest of Code Enforcement staff.

August 19, 1992
~ii~,time Mr. Brutt suggested the Section can be further addressed at the
?!~ext public hearing.
Ms. Sam Holland advised It was her understanding there would be

confusing to everyone involved. She indicated that the language she
As proposing would allow the Development Services Director to notify
~::=:.the applicant that the use had been discontinued and the applicant
:'would have thirty days to respond and ~hen the petition would be
brought before the Board of County Commissioners for a hearing.

modified and the proposed language premen~ed by Ms. Ho~land is accep-
~.~table.

.~;~anguage If it is intended for future problems, however, noting she Is
not supportive if it is to be retroactive.

Nr. Bagineki indicated that Section 2.6.2.7.4.6 on Page 2-179 wil!
be modified by changing the title to "Additional Reductions to

decide whether issues should be heard if they have not been heard by
the P~anning Commission. He indicated that the Commission will need
to determine whether entire sections of the Code should be re-written

mination relative to those issues of a subs~antial nature.

nition of "Front Yard."

added to identify them as irregularly shaped lots. Additionally, he
noted that language is added stating the "length of a standard parking
space aa established within Section 2.3.4 Off Street Vehicular
Facilities: Design Standards."
Mr. Pinckney suggested that the language be changed to reflect
that the required front yard shall not be less than the length of the

standard parking place at any spot where there is a driveway or a per-
mitred vehicle parking area. He indicated that staff's new definition
:? would reduce the usable area on a cul-de-sac lot.

· ~ by Hr. Pinckney and report back to the Board at the second hearing.

been confusion in instances when there is an aggrieved person as to
~whether he should appeal the circuit court or appear before the Board
of County Commissioners in a public petition. She affirmed that the
"; proposed language will clarify this situation.
