Planning Department Request:
Planning Department has developed a study regarding various parcels in the
County. The department feels with the applications being heard by the
Hearings Officer, the department feels they are responsible for providing
parcels for housing and not for any other use. The department requests that
PL9 be modified so the requirement of the applicants be documented in a
County ordinance which would require an applicant for land use to establish
need. Discussion held on the language of the zoning ordinances.
Discussion regarding County vehicles:
Commissioner Paulsen suggested the need for a detailed study on which
departments actually need vehicles. Also needed is a policy on vehicles that
need to be placed on the surplus list. Commissioner Young commented on his
experience in surveying departments to assess need. Commissioner Young
accepted the task of completing another survey.

• Commissioner Paulsen brought forward a discussion for the future
regarding a p.a. system for Hearings Officer and if it would be feasible to
hold hearings in the new court house.
• Commissioner Paulsen prepared a memo to Commissioners Young and
Shephard regarding department space requirements. He has outlined
