of Planning Services stated the Planning Department has been working on the
PUD Ordinance for nearly a year. Its primary purpose is to make it easier for
people to subdivide their property. Ms. Mika added the PUD Ordinance also
provides for more public input and will make it easier for the Planning
Department to show the public a finalized picture of what the proposed
subdivisions will look like. Ms. Mika asked that the Board allow for a staff
presentation at the second reading to allow time for publication and citizen input.
In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Kerri Keithley, Planning Department,
stated there are Planning Commission minutes which stated some changes to
the PUD and that she would provide the Board with a copy for the second
reading. Ms. Mika added that the Planning Commission went through the
proposed ordinance page by page. In response to Commissioner Hall, Ms.
Keithley explained the proposed changes from the Planning Department.
Changes included adding a Department of Planning Services certificate, if
applicable, and a Certificate of Dedication, Ownership and Maintenance under
Section 9.2.1.13; rewording Section 7.5.2 to allow controversial cases to go
before the Board; and deleting Section 7.5.1 with the subsequent sections being
renumbered. Jenny Shaw addressed the Board stating she would like to see
the PUD Ordinance published in more than just one local paper so citizens
throughout the County could be more aware of County business. She also
noted her concerns that provisions be made for open space bumper zones
between municipalities. Ms. Mika stated the Planning Department will be
sending notice of the ordinance throughout the County. Commissioner Hall
moved to approve Ordinance #197 with proposed changes on first reading.
