12.B. PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING: <br />EXTENSION OF MORATORIUM ON SMALL LOT <br />SINGLE-FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS <br /> <br />Attorney DeBraal explained that in October 2005 the Board voted to enact a <br />moratorium on small lot subdivisions. This was a 6-month moratorium giving staff sufficient time <br />to revise the small lot subdivision ordinance and work in concert with the Growth Awareness <br />Committee. The parties have come forward and said they would like additional time to study the <br />matter and so we requested permission to advertise the matter for public hearing. <br /> <br />This one is a little different since it is a land use regulation that affects property <br />greater than 10 acres in size. There must be 2 public hearings. The Statute states that one of those <br />public hearings must be held after 5:00 p.m., unless the Board decides by super majority vote to <br />hold both during the daytime. Attorney DeBraal requested (1) permission to advertise and (2) the <br />Board’s decision on whether they want to hold one of the public hearings at 5:00 p.m. or later, or <br />vote by super majority to hold both of them during the day time. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, to approve the <br />advertising and to have one of the public hearings at 5:00 <br />p.m. or later. <br /> <br />Under discussion and to clarify misunderstandings, Attorney DeBraal reminded the <br />Board they only needed to vote to hold both hearings during the daytime, but if the pleasure of the <br />Board is to have one public hearing at 5:00 p.m. or later, no vote is necessary. <br /> <br />March 14, 2006 <br />23 <br /> <br />
