Chairman Brown noted that a quorum was present and called the meeting to order and declared the meeting open for the transaction of business. Chairman Brown presided and the following business was transacted: The Chairman announced the purpose of the meeting was to hold a public hearing on seven (7) proposed amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Assistant Director of Community Development Marshall Downey gave a brief description of each of the following amendments: Amendment 1: Table 4.7-1 - add language to clarify that handicap ramps or other similar structures built in order to meet ADA compliance are exempt from setbacks. Amendment 2: Sect. 5.1.3 - add language that clarifies that any accessory structure (deck, etc.) located within eighteen inches (18") of a principal structure shall be required to meet the principal structure setbacks. Amendment 3: Sec. 5.33 - add new third party consultant language for new cell tower SUP applications. Amendment 4: Sec. 5.33 - add language about fall zone and update setback language for lattice towers. Amendment 5: Sec. 5.34 - Temporary Uses (retail) temporary use permits - rewrite entire section to improve language and consolidate; more stringent time limits on retail recommended. Amendment 6: Sec. 11.10 Temporary Banners - rewrite section to change "banners" to "signs" to cover all types of temporary sign materials. Essentially, this is simply a name change to remove and replace the term banner with the term sign. Amendment 7: Sec. 12.5.2.1 Repair and Renovation of nonconformities - Revise language to refer to nonconforming structures and eliminate references to nonconforming uses. Nonconforming uses are addressed under Section 12.4. During Mr. Marshall's summary the Commissioners requested that Amendment No. 3 be revised to reflect that the County would select a consultant rather than retain one and the applicant would have to pay the fee for the consultant's services. This amendment will require that Special Use Permit Applications for new telecommunication towers will be reviewed by an expert third-party consultant. No one present spoke for or against the proposed amendments. After a reasonable period of time, Chairman Brown closed the public hearing. There being no further business to come before the Board, Commissioner Lemmond moved the meeting be adjourned. Upon a vote, that was unanimously adopted, the meeting adjourned in keeping with the motion. Robert H. Brown, Chairman Lee County Board of Commissioners 6
