HICKCOX: Yeah, well, maybe, maybe the question should just go to the applicant then, though. What are you planning to do with the water from the pool, should you have to empty the pool? ROSS: I can tell you we are not planning to run it over land onto the, across the boundary into the ocean; we are definitely not planning to do that. Like I say, usually whenever you have pools on a property, on a residential property, if there is storm drainage improvements, usually you have a separate line from the pool that lets just slowly drain over a period of time. That’s a normal application that would probably be our preferred application. The ground does act as a sand filter or, you know, a gravel filter. So if that meets the question about chlorine -. I’ve never done a study on how effective the ground is in filtering out before, 150 feet later the water finally makes its way into the contact with the ocean. This is a new question in terms of what level and how, what level, or standard where we are working to. But if that becomes a standard that’s required of us, we will meet it by trucking the water out every five years, which, you know, in other words Mr. Leach is not anticipating regularly emptying his pool, but if it’s necessary, if he has to bring a water truck in and pump it into a truck and haul it away, that’s what he will do, if that’s what is required. GIFFIN: Tommy, excuse me. But, Bobby, being the Director, how comfortable are you with the verbiage in terms of this condition? COMMAND: I’m comfortable with the language; but if the Commission would like to add something else, that’s, I’m comfortable with that as well. GIFFIN: Okay, good. Tommy. HICKCOX: I think that the applicant’s statement as far as being on the record as to do the right thing will be sufficient at this point. Thank you. GIFFIN: Thank you. Commissioners, any other comments regarding Agenda Item No. 1? Hearing none, do I hear a motion? Oh, I should say that no one has signed up for public testimony for this agenda item. Having said that, do I hear a motion? Mr. Beaudet? BEAUDET: With regard to Special Management Area Use Permit No. 13-000052 I move for the approval of the permit, along with the conditions as stated within the County’s recommendation. GIFFIN: Thank you. Do I hear a second? HICKCOX: Second. GIFFIN: It’s been moved by Commissioner Beaudet and seconded by Commissioner Hickcox that the Special Management Area use permit, No. 13-000052, be approved, along with the conditions as stated by our Director. Any discussion? Hearing none, Jeff? DARROW: If I could ask for clarification. The approval recommendation will also include the minor amendments that were -. GIFFIN: Yes, sorry, yes, the changes in the numbers that Jeff brought up earlier. DARROW: Thank you. With that, we’ll take the motion. Commissioner Beaudet? 8 EXHIBIT A
