   1:15:58Item P six, you will be sitting as a local planning agency. It's PDE 260446, an ordinance by the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners, amending the Pasco County Land Development Code. Amending section 530.5, parking or storing of recreational vehicles, renaming section 530.5, parking or storing of recreational land vehicles and recreational watercraft. Amending section 1001, Docks and Seawalls, Section 1001.4,

   1:16:29Visibility, Appendix, excuse me, Appendix A definitions and other sections as necessary for. For internal consistency, providing for applicability, repealer, providing for several inclusion into the land development code, and an effective date, and Rebecca Bove will provide a presentation.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:16:52Good afternoon, members of the Planning Commission. Rebecca Bow with Planning Development Economic Growth. Here today to talk about some changes we're proposing to our recreational vehicle parking and storage standards. Our intent is to allow limited driveway parking of recreational vehicles on driveways in residential lots. To do that, we're amending section 530.5, renaming it to parking and storing of recreational land vehicles and recreational watercraft. Um requiring

   1:17:23some new enhanced standards. and making updates to appendix A and some other updates for consistency.

   GreyChair

   1:17:31Could you I'm sorry, can you repeat your first part again?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:17:34Sure. Our intents. The intent here is to allow limited driveway parking of residential recreational watercraft on residential lots.

   GreyChair

   1:17:46Okay.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:17:46Okay. So currently our code does not allow this. We regulate on this definition here, it's recreational vehicle. We define it as a non-commercial transportation structure or device that is used or designed to be used for recreational purposes. This is only a snippet of the actual definition, which is 483 words long, so it's all-encompassing and it's very broad. It pretty much entails anything you could possibly think of as a recreational vehicle. Currently,

   1:18:17our code allows parking and storing of recreational vehicles within certain zoning districts, and they're kind of separated by the size of the lots. So in larger lots, those are agricultural zones or state residential two and residential lots one acre or more in size, excluding estate residential lots. So within those zoning districts you can park or store your recreational vehicle behind the front setback or five feet from a side or rear property line. Smaller

   1:18:48lots are considered to be residential lots, one acre or less, or in a state residential lot, regardless of its size. And current standards require Uh recreational vehicles to be parked behind the front setback, five feet from a side of your property line, behind the um Principal building line, which is defined as the line parallel to the front door. And they have to be screened from abundant properties. Our code also includes other standards that prohibit parking within the right-of-way.

   1:19:20Um You can only par you can't park it or store it if it's there's no primary structure there. Uh we do allow driveway parking for short-term loading, unloading or cleaning. And recreational vehicles cannot be used for residential, commercial purposes. And if you're parking it or storing it on your property, it has to be owned. By the occupant. We do allow guests to stay in an RV with on within a property, but they have to do so with a permit.

   GreyChair

   1:19:49For how long?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:19:50I think it's up to ten days and you can extend it.

   1:19:55Okay, so in order to allow boats to park in driveways We are updating the definition for recreational vehicle to recreational land vehicle and removing all references to water related. Functions. And we're creating a new definition for recreational watercraft, which we're defining as a non-commercial transportation vehicle or device used or designed to be used for recreational purpose on water. This is also just a snippet of the whole definition. Which is about as as long as the

   1:20:25current recreational vehicles definition. We further um divided this out into two subcategories. So we have small recreational watercraft and large recreational watercraft. Small watercraft is uh defined as being designed for individual or small group recreational use on near shore waters. This includes things like canoes, kayaks, and pot uh paddleboards. And then we have large recreational watercraft, which we define as being designed for navigation on open waters or for extended recreational use, including

   1:20:56but not limited to motorboats, sailboats, pontoons, and similar vessels. What we're proposing is to allow large recreational watercraft to be parked on a driveway in a residential neighborhood, residential zone, or in an agricultural zone, as long as it's five feet from a property line and doesn't overhang the right-of-way and doesn't obstruct line of sight. Small recreational watercraft would still have to be parked or stored on the side or rear lots.

   1:21:27Some additional standards we're including is that you may not park or store more than one large recreational watercraft. So if you're park if you have one stored in your side or rear lot, you can't park one in your driveway. And if there's one in your driveway, you can't park or store one in your side or rear lot. So one on the property in total. and it has to be parked on a legally permitted driveway, and it shall not displace domestic vehicles onto the yard or into the street. So if you're already parking your domestic vehicle on the street or in your yard, you may not park a boat on your driveway. We did

   1:21:57some research on surrounding jurisdictions to see what they allow and how they regulate. And we found that most other jurisdictions do allow recreational vehicles to be parked in driveways under specific standards, many of which we've included in our proposed amendments.

   1:22:15And the recommendation is to accept public comment and find the proposed amendments consistent with a comprehensive plan. I'm here for questions.

   GreyChair

   1:22:24Rebecca, quick question. So what's the minimum size lot that you can do this on?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:22:29It just has to be one acre or less.

   GreyChair

   1:22:32One acre or less.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:22:33Well, I mean it would apply to all residential lots really regardless of its size.

   Liam Devine

   1:22:38And including MPDs that have forty foot wide lots.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:22:42If it can fit there, meeting the standards, yes.

   Connected City

   1:22:47Most of those have H O A's that have separate govern governance, so what's the rationale.

   Moody

   1:22:55Regarding large watercraft and small water craft at the Large one can be parked in the driveway, but the small one can't. What's the what's the thinking behind?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:23:07Sure. So uh some of our staff was concerned that we would get multiple kayaks or um canoes parked on a trailer in the driveway and there was uh concern that that would create visual clutter.

   Connected City

   1:23:23More so than a boat.

   1:23:27I mean if it's still limited to one.

   1:23:33Kyle said

   GreyChair

   1:23:33that. Perfect example for me is You drive through a a pla an area like Regency Park, they're all over the place. And that's there's all nothing but visual clutter. Are you talking about boats or trailers with the colours? Boats and trailers. They got you know, utility trailers, boats, cars parked on the grass, trucks everywhere. Yes. I mean it's just I don't

   1:24:02I didn't I'm in favor of being more restrictive.

   Moody

   1:24:05And you're You're saying that if they parked the boat in the driveway. They can't park the boat on the street. I mean I'm sorry, the car on the street.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:24:19Correct. If you already have a domestic vehicle on the street, then you may not park a boat on your driveway.

   Moody

   1:24:26Okay, and Can they park their car on the grass like they do in Regency Park?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:24:31No.

   Moody

   1:24:34Can I Pave my front yard and turn it into a parking lot.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:24:40It's supposed to be parked on a legally permitted driveway.

   Moody

   1:24:45Well my driveway could be legally permitted. County regulates that portion of the driveway that's in the right-of-way, not that's beyond the right-of-way. And one of the problems that I see of our code is we have lot coverage regulations, but we don't have impervious surface ratio. regulations. So what would stop somebody from accessing a parking lot from their legally permitted driveway

   1:25:16and basically paving their front yard so that they could put their boat in the driveway and park their cars on their now newly paved front yard.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:25:27I think the answer is that we couldn't reasonably fix that without An impervious surface code.

   GreyChair

   1:25:34Which is what we need. Yes. We sure do.

   Connected City

   1:25:46So whenever you've done

   Moody

   1:25:47I have a couple language options. I to that Same point. I agree what I'm pointing out is that they're A clever homeowner. Or somebody that just listened to me watching this hearing now knows how to get around your rule.

   1:26:06But to Chuck's point, Mr. Gray's point, I'm sorry. Um

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:26:13Mr.

   Moody

   1:26:15I think this creates a bunch of visual Clutter too. And you know, I'm sure there's probably a whole bunch of Nice boats. And then there's things where People buy these. Project boats. But are projects that never get finished. And they sit in the driveway forever and they get more mold and more mildew and

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:26:40I will say that the proposed amendment does include language in there, that it has to be operable.

   GreyChair

   1:26:47Yeah, that's a uh that's an inoperable word in a way. Operable is that's a subjective word. What does that mean?

   1:26:56Yeah. Okay. But I mean there's no doubt about the fact that if you go by a place and there's boats and trailers and stuff parked in their yard, it's gonna devalue the guy next door. There's no good no doubt about it. I can tell you that. Um I see it all the time. And I just think we

   Connected City

   1:27:16need to go in the other direction though. I I think it depends though. I think if you have a nicely maintained house with a beautiful brand new boat sitting in the driveway, I don't think that's I d totally disagree with you on that one, Derek. Um I see it I see something that's hey, they have some disposable income, they're you know, this is a nice nice area.

   Moody

   1:27:38And I said there's there's probably Some really nice boats that You know, I'd probably drive by and go, Wow, I wish I had that bowl. Right. I I can tell you when you drive into my neighborhood There's a boats out there that don't look like they've been in the water in the last forty years.

   1:28:01Yeah. And like I said, they're covered in mold and mildew and

   1:28:06Yeah, there's not too many eighty

   GreyChair

   1:28:08thousand dollar boats sitting in the driveway. Right.

   1:28:13Yeah, one of my neighborhoods.

   David Engel

   1:28:15Hi, uh David Engel, Planning and Economic Development Director. I guess this boat is taking some water here, but I just wanted to give you some context. Like

   GreyChair

   1:28:23the Iranian

   David Engel

   1:28:23nation. We have people, uh residential lots with boat parking all over the county. We don't allow it. It's all illegal. So some of the board members were uh interested in applying some reasonable regulations to permit boats with certain standards. standards and conditions so we could manage the boat parking in front and the side of people's homes. So that's the context.

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:28:46Yeah. So the intent is to get them out of the yards and onto the driveways. Is that right?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:28:55I think the intent is to allow people to store their boats at home. on their driveways.

   Connected City

   1:29:03'Cause my reading of the text, it looks like that now they will only be allowed on driveways and no longer on the side or in the back like they previously were. Is that true?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:29:12No.

   1:29:15Correct. You can but you can only store one.

   GreyChair

   1:29:19Okay. You can actually store two if you store one on the side of the house and one in the driveway. You should just said you can't do that?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:29:25Correct. The code says w the the amendments as we've written them state one. Now does that

   Moody

   1:29:30only apply to the large watercraft? Or the can they have can they have a a large boat in the driveway and a kayak on the side of the house?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:29:38That only applies to the large recreational watercrafts.

   Moody

   1:29:42Or

   Christopher Poole

   1:29:42jet skis on the side of the house. So they could have a large boat in the front and jet skis or ayaks on the side?

   GreyChair

   1:29:50Yes. How about a utility trailer?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:29:54That's regulated under a different section of the code.

   Christopher Poole

   1:29:58Have an an R V.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:30:01They could still store an R V on the um yeah, in their side or rear lots.

   Connected City

   1:30:09I know j uh where I was asking that before is section H. So, you know, be it seems kind of contradictory because it says above RLVs and RWCs may be parked in areas, you know, that were previously allowed. Um, but then it says in that section residential driveway. Uh recreational watercraft parking, the following provisions apply to large W RWCs parked or stored. on properties zoned AC, AC one, AR, AR

   1:30:39one, AR five, AR five, M H, and residentially zoned parcels, including residential lots within M P U D zoning districts. Um does not apply to small RWC. Driveway parking standards shall be parked on a driveway. Shall be stored in a trailer. So it it just seems conflicting. It sounds like that They can only this particular type of craft can only be parked on a driveway.

   1:31:09In addition to

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:31:13Okay.

   Connected City

   1:31:16For clarity. And I

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:31:17and I'm I misinterpreted the the graphics that you showed too because I thought that the before this regulation you showed the boat on the side of the house and then under this regulation you showed all of a sudden the boat in the driveway. So I thought that meant that you weren't allowed to put it on the side anymore.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:31:34How?

   1:31:37I thought I did a good job with the graphics.

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:31:39I like the graphics. I thought the graphics were great. But I and I th but I gave 'em too much credit.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:31:46I I could see how you'd interpret it like that. I almost didn't use a bone.

   Moody

   1:31:53I thought I'd share something with you guys. on the day staff presented this to me. Happen to be perusing through nextdoor dot com. and found this little love note that a neighbor left for another neighbor. It says, Move the boat. Its presence diminishes our property values and is an eyesore to our neighborhood. If you can afford the boat, you can afford to leave it at a marina or a storage facility. This

   1:32:23is not Pasco County. Thank you, twenty seven of your neighbors.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:32:29I'll I will point out that came from a resident in Pinellas County. Pinellas County doesn't regulate parking of boats.

   Moody

   1:32:36Yeah, they can already park there. Right, but I think the point is She They're in a deed restricted neighborhood in Pinellas County. And I think their point is that Pasco County is kind of junked up with this kind of stuff to mister Gray's point. And I agree

   1:32:57Neighborhoods like Embassy Hills, Regency Parks, Jasmine Lakes were once very nice. Holiday Lake Estates were once very nice neighborhoods. And we've allowed this kind of stuff to proliferate. without rigid enforcement. And now they are not so nice places. Right. And it's a shame.

   GreyChair

   1:33:23I wouldn't be so against it if it was uh, you know, places that were an acre or more where they could put their boat behind their house and be out of the out of the view of the public. Um

   Moody

   1:33:39I recognize. you're in a difficult position as the staff that you've got a commissioner that's asked for this. So I'm not. And please don't take any criticism that we make of this as personal to the staff. Were you personally? Our job is to make a recommendation to the Commission. So Hopefully hopefully the commission is listening. Just tell them what was your idea, Rebecca.

   1:34:12And hearing the way we feel about it. I mean they they ask for a recommendation, they may not like the recommendation.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:34:17And technically it's the value consistency with the common plan.

   Moody

   1:34:22Okay, whatever.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:34:23So how does that

   Moody

   1:34:24so how does that work when I adopt the new comp plan? I guess they didn't think of that when they wrote the statute.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:34:29Technically it's with the existing comp plan.

   1:34:33Okay.

   1:34:36No, I think the existing comp plan has a lot of policies addressing this issue, but

   GreyChair

   1:34:41Well,

   1:34:42I just think the value of the property and all that kind of stuff.

   1:34:47If you pass this kind of a uh

   1:34:51uh uh ordinance, you're just gonna proliferate even more of this stuff. It's just it's just gonna continually bring down the value of properties. I'm just telling you, that's my business. And and and I

   Moody

   1:35:03know it. That's just

   GreyChair

   1:35:05my

   Moody

   1:35:05thinking too. I mean If you want to go out and run out and buy a boat A run out and buy an RV? You better think about where you're gonna store it before you go buy it.

   GreyChair

   1:35:18Exactly.

   Moody

   1:35:19Okay.

   1:35:22And putting it in. And and then What I find to be hilarious Is It's gotta be under our current ordinances If you park it on the side of the house behind the principal building line, it's gotta be five feet from the side property line.

   GreyChair

   1:35:39That's not gonna happen.

   Moody

   1:35:40Well, how do we do that with lots that have seven and a half and five foot setbacks? But boy they sure shove 'em. You go down through Regency Park and Embassy Hills, they got those boats shoved down there. They're not five feet from the property line. No way. And nobody's doing anything about it either. Where's code enforcement? I mean, do they not Do we have like blind code enforcement officers or something? I mean Because it's amazing. I you know, and there's even one that lives in my neighborhood. And he just manages to drive by hundreds of violations

   1:36:10every day. And not see any of them. I'm trying to figure out how that is. Especially all these boats laying on their side in the front yard. Cars on blocks. Yeah. Just

   Connected City

   1:36:23unbelievable. Yeah, that stuff is 'cause they're not operable.

   Moody

   1:36:27Well, we got entire that makes entire trailer cities that have been built in my neighborhood where we take recreational vehicles, we run down to Lowe's and we buy a bunch of lumber and enclose 'em with wood. We run illegal electrical to 'em. We've got five or six of 'em on the property. I can spot 'em on the aerial photograph. We advertise them on the internet for rent. No building permits, no zoning permits. And nobody does anything.

   Connected City

   1:36:58Mm-hmm. I had another question about um language which didn't really have anything to do with the the boats. It just talked about RVs and using them for residential purposes on a temporary basis. So it was section

   1:37:17Uh G six. Um so the second paragraph where it says an R L V may be occupied temporarily for residential purposes within property zone can properly zoned campgrounds, RV parks and R V subdivisions. And then it goes on to say. You know, if it's someone that's not uh it's owned or leased by person who is not a resident and it's up to ten days four times a year and so forth. But

   1:37:47that language makes it seem like that's only allowable on properly zoned campgrounds, R V parks and R V subdivisions.

   1:37:58'Cause the part above it was struck

   1:38:03For A C, A C One, A R, A R One, A R five

   1:38:09E R two.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:38:13I think what so when I struck the um all the listed zoning categories, I did list them all in G. So my hope was that I could list them all in G one time and make the rest of the text a little more concise and not have to repeat them throughout every paragraph going down.

   Connected City

   1:38:32Okay.

   1:38:35But it looks like so it says an R L V m may be occupied temporarily for residence purposes within properly zoned campgrounds, R V parks, and R V subdivisions. So it appears that

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:38:47I I understand what you're saying. It looks like um in the text that was shown it was like a number two And then we went on, so I will I will fix that.

   Connected City

   1:39:05Yeah, I mean going back to the the whole idea of R V or boat parking on a property, I mean it makes more sense on bigger lots. Obviously if you have small lots and

   1:39:15cram boats on the property line and things like that that's I think there could be a middle ground here somewhere. I can see where you guys are coming from with degrading property value, but at the same time, you know, we don't want to be the the police that try to tell people what to do with their property either. So I like the language that that you use talking about make being operable, you know, maybe an addition of something like, you know, operable and generally free from

   1:39:45rust and dirt and mold, those kind of things. 'Cause I've seen HOA documents that use that kind of language to um kind of eliminate Now I understand you get to a little bit of a subjective territory and that's where there can be some issues, but um I think there could be additional language that would help eliminate some of the junk, right? But if you have a beautiful brand new R V or a beautiful brand new boat sitting there in the driveway, I don't see how that's an issue. At least me personally.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:40:14So add some additional maintenance standards.

   Connected City

   1:40:20I think that would help curb some of the concerns that Some of the other commissioners here have brought up. uh about the the junk that we see, you know, and the cars on blocks and things like that, you know. Obviously if a car's sitting on blocks it's not operable. Right. It's not it wouldn't pass a D O T inspection. Well that can there's uh

   GreyChair

   1:40:39the word operable it may be s it may you may be able to start the engine. Just won't go anywhere.

   Connected City

   1:40:44Well I think it needs to be tagged, right? So if it's tagged then that means you have to have taillights that are intact and headlights intact and a windshield that's intact and

   Moody

   1:40:55tires that are I can pay the registration to Mr. Fasano and he doesn't come out and inspect a car, I can beat out all the headlights and the T. If I could interrupt for just

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:41:05a moment.

   Moody

   1:41:06Well that does but it's still tagged.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:41:08But it says shall be maintained in operal condition and capable of safe use on the water or roadway.

   Connected City

   1:41:15Correct.

   1:41:16Yeah. That's language I've seen before.

   GreyChair

   1:41:18I all I'm just telling you right now that I'm not gonna support anything that's on a small piece of property like that. It's just a

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:41:26Can I ask the technical question because I'm not a boat owner? Um is it safe to start a boat out of the water?

   GreyChair

   1:41:34You can only you should only start it if you're running water through the engine water through the engine. So actually

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:41:41have a little flush.

   1:41:46is trying to inspect the both. and whether it's operable, is the property owner gonna be able to start it on site?

   Moody

   1:41:55Yes. Well if they have the if they have the appropriate accessories to do that. Yeah, you have to run water through the engine at the same time. Really you can start a Briggsley without the right-of-way. It looks like two suction cups you put over the intake of the outboard motor and you attach a garden hose to it so it allows water to move.

   Connected City

   1:42:18attachment, yeah. I think you can even without it, you can start it for ten seconds and it won't hurt anything with no water running through it. You just can't let it run. Or you can put the submerge the outboard in like a

   Moody

   1:42:28garbage can full of water and some people do that for

   1:42:33Question I don't know if somebody can answer this. How long has the prohibition

   1:42:42of parking boats and other recreational vehicles. in your front yard. How long has that been in the code?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:42:52I couldn't then answer that off the top of my head. I'd have to look.

   Moody

   1:42:55Because it's been that way in this county for as long as I can remember. I can't remember a time when it was ever allowed. Yeah. I don't think it's legal but it's they've been doing it. Well, I know they've been doing it, but I'm saying it's been in the code that this is not legal forever and a day.

   1:43:15And why has it been allowed to be done? Well and I guess what I'm saying is if you bought a boat or an R V it's not like you didn't know. It's not like a new code that we just banned the parking of it last week. It's been that way for forty or fifty years.

   Connected City

   1:43:31Right. So so I'm um unfortunately somewhat of an expert on this particular subject matter because we went through this with R H O A but in my neighborhood. But so the language that was one of the languages that was proposed was all RVs must RVs which refers to boats as well. Must be an operable condition for illegal public operation on the roads, trails, or waterways of Florida, or private operation on private property. It must be presentable in condition, generally free from large areas of rust, dirt, mold, peeling

   1:44:01or missing paint, etc. An RV considered inoperative if it cannot legally and or safely be operated because of cracked or broken windshields or windows, broken lights, flat tires, is in unsafe and inoperable condition. So that that kind of language I think you can get there more than not only does it have to be registered and tagged, but it also needs to be safely operable. And I think that that right there, along with um being free from large areas of

   1:44:31rust, dirt, mold, peeling paint, things like that, I think you can probably curb out most of the junk.

   Christopher Poole

   1:44:42I I share Chuck's concern about the size of the lot too. I think you know that this is gonna

   Connected City

   1:44:47Yeah, I can see that.

   Christopher Poole

   1:44:48This is gonna proliferate and even I mean, John has made all the comments about the enforcement issues that exist out there already. It just just pro proliferates it further if we

   Connected City

   1:44:59But technically that's against the code already.

   Christopher Poole

   1:45:02Right. And but happens. But that's that's how is enforcement gonna catch up with that? How is Co Compliance gonna catch up with that? And then enforce this.

   Connected City

   1:45:13Yeah, I mean I think that's a separate matter.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:45:18So the the code exists as it does now since at least twenty eighteen.

   Christopher Poole

   1:45:31Can you can you clarify on the permits? You said there's permits uh so specific to a a house guest of of the owner, uh it's ten days. Is that and from what I'm saying it it can be uh renewed four times per calendar year, is that continuous or is that Not that it really matters, but it's total of forty days that they could potentially Be living in a R V as a house guest?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:46:00That's how I interpret it, yeah.

   Liam Devine

   1:46:04I don't vote on this item, but I am familiar with that section. I think in the last maybe fifteen years we've never had a R B permit for ten days ever hold. Or any R V

   Bill Oliver

   1:46:17Yeah.

   Moody

   1:46:18Well why would they get a permit? Because nobody does anything about it if they do it anyways. You know, right around the corner from where I live.

   1:46:27There's a guy that has one, two, three, four RVs on his lot with people Living in them. in the front yard. Yeah.

   1:46:39in front of their camouflage painted mobile home.

   1:46:44And the fourth R V's just shown up this last week and is half parked in the street. to where I drive out and I gotta drive around the end of the RV that's parked in the street.

   1:47:02if I if we had rigid code enforcement that were taking care of problems like this and I thought they'd be on the case and taking care of the the boats that Derek's pointed out might not be that offensive. then I might be able to support that. But Without having that kind of code enforcement. That's gonna do anything. Right now with the Two.

   1:47:28With if if they're not able to do take care of the problems, the violations we have today, why do I want to do anything that's gonna promote or proliferate more violations?

   1:47:40Right again. I recognize you were asked to write it. It's it's not directed at you.

   Christopher Poole

   1:47:48What'd

   Moody

   1:47:48you

   Christopher Poole

   1:47:48say?

   GreyChair

   1:47:50Well I like to hear a motion. for the for purposes of discussion, if uh we can. I

   Moody

   1:47:59think forward to an idea. Well fine. I'd make a motion to recommend Denial. of the amendment.

   1:48:08It I'm sure the commissioners will have a very spirited discussion about it when it gets to the BCC and they can take our recommendation or leave our recommendation. They're not under any obligation to follow our recommendation if they don't like it. I'm expressing what I think and I don't think we should allow it. So I might would move to deny it. And I'll second that motion.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:48:31So I assume you're finding it inconsistent with the compatibility policies in our comp plan? Yes, sir. Okay.

   Moody

   1:48:40Okay, so we're going to be able to do that.

   1:48:44No, I think we did for

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:48:47Sighting compatibility. The new law on compatibility hasn't taken effect yet, so you don't have to be more specific than that. Thank you.

   GreyChair

   1:48:55That's right. Yeah, motion and a second.

   Unidentified speakerVoice C

   1:49:01No, I agree. I think we're just opening ourselves up for problems. We can't even enforce the problems that we have now, so

   Connected City

   1:49:08I Yeah, I think that you know

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:49:11So I just wanna be clear though there was one additional change on seawalls that you didn't cover.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:49:17Okay.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:49:19I don't know what that is. It's just it's changing a number.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:49:22It's a cross reference, yeah.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:49:24Cool. What is it?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:49:26So seawalls, cross references, um Told on. It hold on, sorry. They describe what it means to be living in your um RV within this section, and so DOX and C Walls refers back to it so they don't have to restate it again in that section.

   GreyChair

   1:49:50What are there are there restrictions on seawalls?

   1:49:58Are there restrictions on seawalls?

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:50:02I'm just trying to figure out is that it is it sort of a Does that implement anything related to the R V to the to the I'm just trying to figure out. Whether they could recommend approval without change without

   1:50:20Or if that sort of has to get thrown out too.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:50:30Okay, so it's um

   1:50:34Enclosed areas built over docks may not be used even temporarily for residential purposes such as those described in section 530.5 C4 of this code. Which is R V shall not be connected to water, sewer, electrical lines. Etcetera.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:50:50Actually. Is this just fixing a typo or I don't know what's it?

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:50:53It's fixing a cross reference. So currently it's c cross referencing the C four section. So we struck the cross reference and referenced the new position in the proposed amendments.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:51:08Oh. Yeah. So if they don't approve the proposed amendments then you can't you can't use that cross reference then.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:51:15Correct. It becomes

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:51:16inaccurate. Okay, then I get it. Okay, so then you can't approve that then. If they're denying the if they're denying the amendment, they can't approve the cross the change of the cross reference.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:51:25Right.

   GirardiVice Chair

   1:51:25Okay. And that answers my question.

   GreyChair

   1:51:29So we have a motion and a second further discussion. If not, all all in favor of denial signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Like sign? Nay. All right, motion passes. Motion for denial passes.

   Unidentified speakerVoice B

   1:51:48Thank you.
