The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No

The Chair asked Michelle Martin, Department of Planning Services, if she wishes for this case to remain on
the Consent Agenda. Ms. Martin replied yes.
The Chair asked the applicant if they wish for this to remain on Consent as well. The applicant indicated that
they do wish for this to remain on Consent.
Commissioner Grand referred to the letter that Ms. Martin handed out and asked if there was a concern from
Magpie on what they voiced. Ms. Martin said that in a phone conversation that she had with them today,they
indicated in previous emails that they wanted to work with Mr. Schrage on the construction documents for the
road going to the oil and gas facilities and they wanted a more formalized agreement at this point. Mr.
Schrage has indicated that he is willing to work on a formalized agreement with them and if that doesn't get
done before the Board of County Commissioners hearing,we will then add it as a condition of approval. Ms.
Martin added that at this point in time they are working towards that agreement.
Mr. Grand clarified that it wasn't an issue and Ms. Martin replied no.
Tom Holton moved that Case PZ-1079 be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners along with the

/t aL t1 U cl— �-al-3118 2008-2013
approval, seconded by Erich Ehrlich. Motion carried unanimously.
The Chair asked the public if they wished to make any comments. No one wished to speak.
The Chair asked the Commissioners if there was any new business they wish to discuss. Commissioner
Lawley referred to the Oil and Gas Company involved in the last case and asked Ms. Martin how their
concerns go into a condition of approval. Ms. Martin commented that if they don't have a formalized
agreement established by the time of the Board of County Commissioners hearing, at that hearing we can
request that prior to recording the plat the applicant have that agreement established.
Mr. Lawley expressed concern for the landowner as it can be rather restrictive for the applicant to obtain this
type of agreement. Ms. Martin commented that in this case the agreement deals with the construction of the
access road. She added that Magpie has indicated in earlier emails that they are okay with the development;
however, they are just concerned with how the access will be built. Mr. Lawley clarified that his concern is in
general with it being restrictive for the landowner to get that agreement. Ms. Martin agreed that a Surface Use
Agreement can be restrictive. She added that if the applicant and the oil and gas company do not reach an
agreement,the Planning Department would take it back for reconsideration of that one condition and then the
Board of County Commissioners would hear both sides and make a determination at that point.
Meeting adjourned at 1:38 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
LIS/Whitt' aka-
