Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that the business owners were being granted a <br />temporary, and not a permanent, variance, and he echoed Chairman Davis's sentiment that <br />common sense should be utilized to give a little slack in situations where it is merited. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan stated that in concept, he agreed with the expanded <br />powers for the Board of Zoning Adjustment; however, he believed that it would be best to <br />empower County staff with some parameters with which to make reasonable decisions. <br />Chairman Davis favored having in place a dual track mechanism, comprised of <br />County staff, and the Board of Zoning Adjustment, noting that currently the Ordinance is either <br />"black or white". <br />Vice Chairman Flescher felt that allowing staff or the Board of Zoning Adjustment <br />to use discretion would allow businesses to move forward and get people working more quickly. <br />Commissioner Solari stressed that the Board of Zoning Adjustment or the County <br />Administrator would be granting a temporary suspension of compliance. He would have the <br />cases go to the County Administrator to sign off on, and that the information would then be <br />given to the Board of Zoning Adjustment, and also placed as an informational item on the next <br />Board Meeting Agenda. If the matter was not something that the County Administrator felt <br />comfortable signing off on, the matter would be kicked up to the Board of Zoning Adjustment. <br />Administrator Baird confirmed with the Board the procedure that he would follow. <br />Mr. Wilson led discussion on proposed Impact Fee Revisions, bringing forward <br />the suggestion to have a six-month moratorium on fees, with review at the end of that time <br />frame. <br />March 3, 2009 23 <br />
