10:01And we have minutes uh to either approve or not approve?

10:05Yeah Mr. Chairman there there are minutes from the January seventh meeting. Um during that meeting there was quite a lengthy discussion on item A P eight Regarding Saddlebrook. Um I'd like to ask if Board Records could relook at the the motion and the discussion at the end of the of the minutes. I think they got the motion correct, but There was quite a bit of discussion and we even had two members of the board or of the commission vote against the item. And I think there's

10:35some more explanation that can be added to that motion and what was actually voted on. So There was there was discussion in particular about when the item comes back for the M P U D there'd be more detail included for areas one and two I believe and Um if you can just relook at that and if we can bring those back, uh that was I'd like to make a motion for that to come back. It was three and four. Okay. So areas three and four and okay.

11:01Okay, so we have a motion um to table it or come back. So do we have a second? Any further discussion on the

11:10motion? Just to does board records need anything additional information to

11:22It's item A P eight.

11:27And I again I don't I don't think the motion's wrong. I just think there's more detail in there and just have record of that would be a would be a good idea.

11:35Just care about it.

11:36Okay. So we have a motion and a second. Further discussion? If not, all in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, liked, sign. Motion carries.

11:50All right. So I'd like to welcome everybody today. I'm going to give you some information about the meeting and how it's going to proceed. We're the planning commissioner. We're appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and we meet twice monthly. We serve as a local planning agency and we hold public hearing and transmit to the Board of County Commissioners recommendations on comprehensive plan amendment amendments, land development. Development recommendations, land development code amendments, rezoning to conditional

12:20use requests. The Planning Commission is the final decision-making body for special exceptions, certain appeals, variance requests, and certain alternative standard requests. However, final decisions may be appealed to the Board of County Commissioners. Anyone's in opposition to any development. code amendment, rezoning, conditional use, or any item where the Planning Commission transmits a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, it's important for you to attend the appropriate Board of County Commissioners meeting. Those

12:51of you not familiar with the format of the of the meetings, we have three sections. We have continuances, we have consent, and we have regular items. Uh continuances are typically either the staff or the applicant has requested a continuance for any number of reasons. It's been our tradition to approve those requests unless there are extenuating circumstances. Uh we have a consent uh agenda uh section. Some of these items uh may be on

13:21consent agenda where we haven't had any objections from the public or the staff. Those items will be gone through one at a time. If there's something on the consent agenda that you'd like to have discussed today as we go through, then raise your hand and then we'll pull it off consent, put it on the regular items. And uh if it stays on consent, it'll all be voted on at one time and and And we'll move on to the regular items for discussion. And uh those are items that are not either on consent or on on

13:52uh or have not been continued. Applicants um will have three minutes to make their presentation and uh cons concerned citizens will have three minutes to state their concerns, and following the presentation uh of objections, the applicant will have five minutes to respond to the concerns. Um there may have been and I think there was today a request um before the meeting for extra

14:22time. Uh I think on one of the items.

14:26That's correct, Mr. Chair. It's on item PC ten. Um Martha Jo Joan Wood Hinman uh request for ten minutes time.

14:33Okay. And uh so we have that on the record. Uh let me just say that this is a good time to any of you who have phones, which is probably most of most of you, please put it on the silent position or turn it off so that we don't disturb anybody that's trying to give uh give information. And uh Also before we start the meeting, um we want to give anybody that's here for something that's not on today's agenda the opportunity
