Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of a Decision on an Appeal of the Hearings Officer’s Decision regarding a Nonconforming Use Alteration and Site Plan for Wooden Cabins to Replace Canvas Tents on Existing Platforms at the Outward Bound Facility. Commissioner Luke asked about the installation of permanent doors. He suggested that any plywood or other covering on the doors and windows should match the stain or paint scheme of the structures. The other Commissioners felt including this wording was not necessary. Commissioner Baney stated, however, that there should not be any reflective surfaces, like window glass. Laurie Craghead said there is a requirement that the structures be earthtone. Commissioner Luke asked why they are being given two years to make application for the changes since they are already in Code enforcement. Commissioner Baney stated that this is in Code, so Community Development is just following what is already stated. Laurie Craghead said that this did not change the nature and extent of the use, per the Hearings Officer, but the wording could be revised under the summary section to state that there can be no greater adverse impact. This alternate wording would make the decision more flexible, but would maintain the integrity of the decision in regard to use of the property. Commissioner Luke asked if the County’s requirements are the same as the State’s regarding the scenic designation. Paul Blikstad said State Parks can require more screening, but that would be between them and the property owner. BANEY: Move approval of the use of the alternate working. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes no. (Split vote.) Ms. Craghead said that the Hearings Officer stated March through September were appropriate for the use of the structures, rather than the wording “spring through early fall”. However, no testimony was given on this particular issue. Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Agenda Monday, December 27, 2010 Page 3 of 7 Pages Commissioner Unger feels the ESEE is the important consideration so that there is no effect on the eagles. Commissioner Baney stated that since the hearings have already been held, she would stay consistent with the decision as written. Commissioner Luke said that if there if flexibility in decisions the Board has to make, those can be argued at a later date. However, land use needs certainty. Regarding the summary on Page 5, and the last sentence, the Board concurred with the Hearings Officer’s alternative findings. BANEY: Move approval of the decision with the change noted. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes no. (Split vote.) Before the Board was consideration of the approval of the Consent Agenda. BANEY: Move approval. UNGER: Second.
