Home

KNOWLES: Chair DeFranco. DEFRANCO: Yes, Commissioner Knowles. KNOWLES: Maija, along those lines can you speak to one of the concerns that was raised about the public notice requirement in the newspapers and sort of has the County considered that fewer people receive newspapers or have access to them. I'm just thinking about that public notice requirement. If we've thought about evolving, it at all. JACKSON: So, currently our Planning Commission rules require public notice in the newspaper for all of the applications that goes before the commission and that would include a shoreline setback variance that is issued by the Director where the public hearing is waived. So, unless the Planning Commission rules are amended to take that out which they're not being amended to take that out now. That would not change. KNOWLES: Thank you. DEFRANCO: Commissioners, any other questions for the staff? LIN: Chair DeFranco, I have — DEFRANCO: Wait, excuse me, Commissioner Vitousek. VITOUSEK: I'm just curious what would be the appropriate time to bring up some potential administrative changes in the rules. That would be now or after a motion has been made. DEFRANCO: I think it's going to be after the motion is made. Any other direct questions for the staff? LIN: I had one, Chair DeFranco. DEFRANCO: Vice Chair Lin. LIN: I might be getting into the weeds but what is the definition for the Planning Department of shallow? Because that is referenced in that one slide. You defined rebuild and you defined the other terms but what is the definition of shallow? JACKSON: Give us just a moment to get that slide up. Clinton, can you go back to that slide. I think it's the third to the last. Can you see that Chair Lin, Vice Chair Lin? LIN: Yes. I think it was one slide before that. It talked about the properties with or shorelines where it had shallow. JACKSON: Yes, so I can speak to that. So — 6 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
