Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 17, 2024 Aaron Stanton, MBV Engineering, appeared before the Board on behalf of the Applicant to address the stormwater pond fencing. He informed the developer was not in favor of the fence because of aesthetics, and it was not required by County code. The developer requested removing the fencing requirement from final approval. Chairman Flescher discussed the emergency access driveway, and requested use of the YELP system instead of a Knox Box for comprehensive emergency services access; the developer agreed to this change. There being no further comments, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Commissioner Adams began discussion with the fencing requirement, noting the County had gotten away from this design for maintenance and aesthetic reasons. Commissioner Moss spoke in support of the fence in deference to the community's loss. Commissioner Adams was respectful but skeptical because the community did not request the fence, and was not required in the County's code. Commissioner Adams made a motion to accept staffs recommendation, minus the fencing condition. Vice Chairman Loar seconded the motion under discussion. County Administrator John Titkanich suggested adding use of the YELP system to the motion. Following discussion, Commissioner Adams amended her motion. An amended motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Vice Chairman Loar, to approve staffs recommendation with modifications to strike the requirement for a fence surrounding the stormwater retention pond, and to use the YELP emergency response system. The Board adopted Ordinance 2024-013, amending the Zoning Ordinance and the accompanying Zoning Map from RS -6, Residential Single-family (up to 6 units/acre), to PD, Planned Development, for approximately 17.80 acres of land located at the northeast corner of 41st Street and 43rd Avenue and described herein and providing for an effective date.
