6. WORK SESSIONS
6.A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO MASS GRADING IN THE
UPPER SWIFT CREEK WATERSHED
Mr. Micas provided a summary of the mass grading ordinance as
well as the history of the Planning Commission's
consideration of the ordinance. He stated the consequences
of the mass grading are that it can be detrimental to water
quality, increase erosion sedimentation and it has a tendency
to disrupt stormwater patterns. He further stated the
benefits of the mass grading ordinance would include less
area being disturbed initially, tree preservation, and limit
disruption of natural soil. He stated the tree save
ordinance, which was adopted in accordance with state law,
requires 15 to 20 percent of the tree cover to be retained at
the subdivision plat approval level. He further stated the
Planning Commission felt the mass grading ordinance would be
difficult to enforce and would not apply to small lots.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Micas stated
staff's recommendation is not to adopt the mass grading
ordinance.
Ms. Durfee stated the Planning Commission felt the tree save
ordinance would be a suitable substitute for the mass grading
ordinance. She further stated the tree save ordinance and
the mass grading ordinances are two different concepts.
Mr. McElfish provided explanations of the tree save and mass
grading ordinances and how they relate to each other.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. McElfish stated
grading is actually the contouring and clearing. He further
stated there was some discussion at the Planning Commission
level on contouring and clearing, but the majority of
discussion focused on mass grading.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns regarding the process the
Planning Commission followed concentrating on the tree
preservation ordinance and viewing it as a possible solution
to the mass grading. She stated there could have been more
discussion about the two different concepts and how they are
different.

In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. McElfish stated
each of the Planning Commissioners were shown examples of
mass grading in their districts.

0
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. McElfish stated
the primary benefit of the mass grading ordinance is to limit
the amount of land that is exposed to the weather for a long
period of time. He further stated when land is opened up to
the weather, it can run off and overload silt basins and
other erosion control measures, which leads to problems down
stream. He stated indirectly the mass grading ordinance
could encourage developers to grade up to 80 percent of their
lot. He further stated the aggregate amount of surface area
opened up on commercial sites was not addressed in this
ordinance and in a residential setting there are more outfall
points and potential locations for problems with mass
grading.
Mr. Gecker stated there are several commercial sites in the
Midlothian District that are not being addressed with the
mass grading ordinance.
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. McElfish stated
the grading at a commercial site is necessary with the
development of the site so more erosion control measures are
added then on residential sites. He further stated he wished
there was another way to save the trees and limit grading.
Ms. Durfee stated the mass grading and tree save ordinances
are two different concepts that can be intertwined, but the
grading issues is not necessarily being solved by adding to
the percentage of trees saved. She further stated a great
effort was spent on the tree save ordinance, but not on
understanding the mass grading ordinance. She stated there
are ways that counties have built successful communities by
being both conservative and meeting developer concerns and it
involves design. She further stated the mass grading
ordinance should be applicable to commercial sites as well as
the entire county, not just the Upper Swift Creek area.
Mr. Holland stated more information regarding the cost versus
benefits of the mass grading ordinance is needed and why
staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
ordinance.
6.B. PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGULATING EXCESSIVE NOISE
Ms. McGee provided a summary of the proposed ordinance
regulating excessive noise in the county. She reviewed the
loud noises, the times they will be prohibited, and the
number of complaints and summons issued for each item. She
stated staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Ms. McGee stated there
have not been any logged complaints with the Police
Department regarding the noise caused by garbage or recycle
trucks in residential areas.
Mr. Warren expressed appreciation to Ms. McGee for the
thorough presentation.

08/26/09
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Major Karl Leonard
stated in 29 years the Police Department has not received any
complaints regarding farm animals.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Micas stated the
county has never applied the noise ordinance to livestock or
farm animals; however, if Mr. Holland would like to have them
included in the ordinance it is possible.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Micas stated a
state law protects shooting ranges so the county cannot
regulate them.
In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Ms. McGee stated the
currently proposed ordinance would not cover a party in the
yard without loud music. She further stated the penalty for
non-compliance with the noise ordinance falls under the
general penalty provision and provided details of those
penalties.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Major Leonard stated
the fines issued for a summons for violation of the noise
ordinance are issued by the courts. He further stated if the
Board put the penalty in the ordinance then that would be the
one issued by the Police Department.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated the
county is not able to regulate mechanical noise made by
muffled cars or motorcycles. He further stated if a vehicle
is not muffled it should not be on the road.
Major Leonard stated automobiles creating mechanical noise
with missing or damaged mufflers are issued summons for
defective equipment.

district map to permit a computer-controlled, variable
message, electronic sign and to permit exception to Ordinance
requirements relative to sign height in a Corporate Office
(O-2) District on 0.6 acres known as 1231 Gateway Centre
Parkway. Density will be controlled by zoning conditions or
Ordinance standards. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the
property is appropriate for light industrial use. Tax ID 757-
705-3156.
Mr. Robert Clay presented a summary of Case 08SN0224 and
stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
request subject to the proffered conditions. He further
stated staff recommended denial of the request due to non-
conformance with the Electronic Sign Policy Policy.
Mr. David Durrett, the applicant's representative, stated the
conditions approved at the Planning Commission were
agreeable.
Mr. Robert B. Jarvis, the Executive Vice President of Talley
Sign Company, stated the Planning Commission approved the
request for a 15-foot sign. He further stated the only
problem stated with the request was the separation of 2,000
feet between signs.
Mr. Bob Olsen, a Midlothian District resident, expressed
concerns relative to the lack of standards should the
applicant violate the proffered conditions.
Mr. Jarvis stated a revised sign ordinance should contain a
penalty if it is violated.
There being no one else to address the request, the public
hearing was closed.
Mr. Gecker stated approval of electronic message signs should
wait until the results of the study from the Planning
Commission is received. He further stated he is not in the
position to support the request at this time.
Mr. Warren stated the Board needs the opinion of the Planning
Commission and staff on this issue.
In response to Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Micas stated
electronic signs which have been previously approved have a
09-485
08/26/09
vested right to continue whatever use was approved in the
prior zoning case.

In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. Micas stated the
consequences or penalties for violations of existing zoning
conditions do include a fine schedule, but cannot make the
signs go dark.
Mr. Micas stated the request could be deferred to September
23, 2009.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Turner stated the
Commission will not have a recommendation to the Board before
September 23, 2009.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Gecker stated
under current policy all of the conditions meet current
policy but there is a thought that too many electronic signs
in a certain distance are too much for the corridor. He
further stated he does not want to exacerbate the problems
along Midlothian Turnpike or set precedence with the spacing
concerns. He stated the current sign at the location has the
time and temperature on it and does not contain a changeable
copy.
Mr. Turner stated the Planning Commission considered the
recommendation of the committee but they did not feel an
electronic message center should be permitted by right any
place in the county and needed to be considered on a case by
case basis through the conditional use process so the public
had the ability to comment on the impact of the sign. He
further stated the Planning Commission wants to review the
Sign Policy to include more standards on electronic signs.
Ms. Jaeckle stated the spacing concerns are going to be the
tough standard to come up with.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Ms. Jaeckle, the Board
deferred Case 08SN0224 to September 23, 2009.

TO CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO SECTIONS 14-26 AND 14-27
Ms. McGee stated this date and time had been advertised for
the Board to consider amendments to Section 14-26 and 14-27
of the County Code regulating excessive noise. She further
stated staff recommends adoption of the revised noise
ordinance. She provided a summary of the proposed amendments
for each category of noise.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Ms. McGee stated the
proposed changes that were made since the afternoon work
session were not available in writing.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Ms. McGee stated the
50-feet rule is currently enforced by the Police Department
and they approved keeping that distance.
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Ms. McGee stated noise
from televisions and stereos either audible in the house of
another or 50 feet away is considered in violation of the
ordinance. She further stated the sound from an automobile
stereo heard 50 feet away is in violation of the ordinance.
She stated that police officers on patrol typically issue
summonses for excessive noise from an automobile. She
further stated the number one noise violation was the noise
from bands, televisions, or stereos.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.
In response to Mr. Gardner's question, Ms. McGee stated there
were 1,252 complaints with 3 summonses for barking dogs.
Mr. Darren Gardner expressed concerns relative to the
timeframes proposed for the ordinance.
Ms. Roberta Hawkins requested the county work with a sound
expert to study the noise ordinance and make a
recommendation.
Mr. Mike Azells spoke in support of the noise ordinance.
Mr. James Shelton stated 7:00 a.m. should be the time garbage
trucks are permitted to begin collections.
Ms. Andrea Epps inquired whether consideration would be made
for those citizens who are hard of hearing and turn their
television up to be able to hear it.
Mr. William Friend, a resident of the Foxboro Subdivision,
stated the proposed ordinance is very liberal.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns relative to the unintended

In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Ms. McGee stated if a
complaint is made in a residential area, the officer would
not enter a neighbor's home, but would use the 50-foot rule.
She further stated residential neighborhoods are protected by
zoning conditions and large buffer areas when they adjoin a
shopping center.
Discussion ensued relative to the noise created in commercial
areas and the effect on residential areas.
Mr. Gecker stated the noise ordinance needs to be deferred
due to the amount of questions being raised on it.
Ms. McGee stated she would be happy to do as much detail as
the Board would like.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Ms. McGee stated the a
committee of the Local Government Attorneys of Virginia has
been working on the issue of revising local noise
ordinances for over 4 months.
Ms. Durfee requested more clarity to be placed in the noise
ordinance with the language used. She stated she has
received many complaints about dirt bikes throughout the
county, guns and shooting ranges. She further stated a noise
ordinance is needed but is concerned with enforcement. She
stated Hanover County is looking at imposing civil penalties.
Ms. McGee stated that, due to a state law, noise from dirt
bikes and motorcycles cannot be restricted as long as the
bikes or motorcycles have mufflers.
In response to Ms . Durfee' s question, Mr. Micas stated civil
penalties are not effective in Chesterfield County.
Ms. McGee stated Chesterfield County does not have the
authority from the state to impose civil penalties.
Mr. Gecker requested Ms. McGee get a revised draft out to the
Board members a couple weeks prior to the next meeting.

ACQUISITION OF WATER, TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION AND
DRAINAGE EASEMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
TO CONSIDER THE EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN FOR THE
SOUTHWEST CORRIDOR WATERLINE PROJECT - PHASE II, PART A
Mr. Stith stated this date and time had been advertised for
the Board to consider the exercise of eminent domain for the
acquisition of water, temporary construction and drainage
easements for the construction of the Southwest Corridor
Waterline Project - Phase II, Part A.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.
Mr. Darren Gardner, a Dale District resident, requested the
Board use common sense before making a decision on eminent
domain.
Mr. Mike Schmidt stated he had met with Ms. Durfee, the
Utilities Department and Right of Way and he still has
questions which have not been answered regarding alternate
options available to the county. He requested the Board to
defer decision on this item.
Mr. Covington provided background on the Southwest Corridor
Waterline Project. He stated completion of the Southwest
Corridor Waterline Project will allow the Utilities
Department to assure that adequate water supplies and water
pressures are delivered to current customers as well as
future customers. He stated completion of the Phase II
projects, which is the last phase, will increase the capacity
from 67 million gallons per day to 92 million gallons per
day, by installing larger lines which will not squeeze the
ability to get the water where it needs to go. He further
stated on any major line projects like the Southwest Corridor
Waterline, the engineers evaluate numerous alignments to
determine which one is the most cost effective and has the
least impact on the fewest amount of residents in an
established community. He stated six alignment alternatives
have been evaluated for this project. He provided details of
each alignment reviewed by the engineers. He stated all five
of the cross country alignments ended up just west of the
intersection of Winterpock and Beach Roads, to avoid a
congested intersection. He further stated various cross
country alignments that took the shortest distance from point
A to point B, bisected existing properties. He stated the
Utilities Department -feels it is more appropriate to follow
an alignment that follows the perimeters of properties so the
easement placement would not significantly affect existing
properties. He provided the Board with the pros and cons of
selected alignments. He stated the construction cost per
foot for constructing through virgin soil is significantly
cheaper than the construction cost per foot for following the
roadway. He further stated the total construction cost for
the shorter alignment is more expensive than the longer
alignment due to the construction challenges associated with
the shorter alignment. He provided the Board with details of
the amount of easements needed for Phase I and the number
that went through eminent domain. He stated the construction
contract has been bid and awarded based on alignment A.

In response to Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr. Covington stated
going around Mr. Schmidt's property would add more linear
feet to the project. He further stated the property where
the proposed easement is located is wooded. He stated the
county is willing to work with the contractor to minimize the
impact on property and leave it as desirable as possible. He
further stated Mr. Schmidt's property is approximately 7.5
acres.
^i-
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Harmon stated there
is an existing 8-foot easement on the adjacent subdivision
lot and a 20-foot permanent easement, and 20-foot temporary
construction easement is proposed on Mr. Schmidt's property.
He further stated from the edge of the 40-foot easement in
its existing condition, Mr. Schmidt's house is not visible
from the area that would-be cleared. He stated construction
easements are normally graded and seeded once the
construction is complete. He further stated trees are not
normally replaced, but discussions have been held with Mr.
Schmidt about the possibility of replacing some of the trees
and/or reducing the temporary construction easement by 10
feet. He stated trees would not be replaced on the permanent
easement. He further stated the adjacent property to Mr.
Schmidt is partially wooded and partially driveway.
Ms. Durfee stated several meetings have been held about this
issue over the last couple of weeks. She further stated the
county was able to deem the cost effectiveness of following
the longer route for the alignment of the Southwest Corridor
Waterline. The other issue is whether the waterline would go
on the front or back of Mr. Schmidt's property. She stated
Mr. Schmidt is willing to work with the Utilities Department
if alignment was moved to the back of his property.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Covington stated
the Utilities Department will continue discussions with the
contractor but taking the alignment to the back of Mr.
Schmidt's property would bisect the adjoining property and
will cause the Utilities Department to renegotiate an
easement with that property owner and that they have
indicated they would not sign the agreement.
Ms. Durfee stated Mr. Schmidt's refusal to consider the
proposed alignment is due to the alignment affecting the
front of his property and he would prefer that it go on the
back of his property.
Mr. Covington stated the price of the alignment to go to the
back of Mr. Schmidt's property is more expensive and would
require an additional easement from the adjacent property
owner, which would bisect that property.
Ms. Durfee stated it was her understanding that there would
be a potential option to place the waterline on the back of
Mr. Schmidt's property.
Mr. Covington stated the waterline can be placed at the rear
of Mr. Schmidt's property but the adjacent property owner may
not be willing to sign an easement which will bisect his
property.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Bill Wright stated
the location of the alignment as it runs diagonally through
09-491
08/26/09
the New Dawn property has been discussed with the property
owner, who stated they would not grant the easement. He
further stated the Utilities Department used that information
and followed the property line for the alignment, which
creates the least impact. He stated the property owner of
the New Dawn property has granted an easement along the
property line, not diagonally through the property. He
further stated in order to use the alignment to the rear of
Mr. Schmidt's property, a new easement would have to be
granted by the New Dawn property owner.
Ms. Durfee stated she is unclear with any issue with the
easement diagonally crossing the New Dawn property to the
rear of Mr. Schmidt's property.
Mr. Wright stated the main issue with the realignment of the
waterline is having the waterline redesigned and the
additional expense involved with that.
Mr. Warren stated the project needs to be done efficiently
and correctly. He suggested deferring decision for 30 days.
Ms. Durfee stated the cost effectiveness of the two proposed
alignments had to be determined and an existing land owner
suggested the waterline go to the rear of his property, were
the two issues that had been raised. She further stated she
is comfortable with deferring this request for 30 days.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Wright stated the
contractor will place the waterline anywhere the Utilities
Department tells them to, but the impact will be significant
and the contractor is on the verge of losing his price
guarantee for buying the pipe.
Mr. Stith stated if the Utilities Department goes back to the
New Dawn property owner, the county would be cutting across
his property and could possibly render part of his property
useless.
Ms. Durfee stated the county has an existing landowner who
wants to cooperate with the county and request the waterline
be placed at the rear of his property instead of the front of
his property.
Mr. Stith stated cost not withstanding, the Utilities
Department will bring back the alignments in 30 days along
with the affects of each alignment.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Wright stated the
cost of delay without additional engineering would be
approximately $43,000. He further stated it would be
approximately $200,000 to $300,000 with all costs associated
with a potential redesign of the waterline. He expressed
concerns with opening up a redesign of the waterline due to
having to take the design back to DEQ for re-approval.
Mr. Gecker stated the new alignment would have a known cost
of $43,500, assuming it could be done for no cost for
reengineering.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Wright stated if
the alignment at the front of Mr. Schmidt's property is used,
09-492
08/26/09
J
J
J
it will cross his driveway and restoration will be first
class.
U
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated any
diagonal crossing of property subjects the county to greater
risks for damages.
Ms. Durfee stated she would prefer not to defer this item,
but would like to keep the option of working with Mr. Schmidt
on moving the alignment to the rear of his property.
Mr. Wright stated the Utilities Department would follow the
direction of the Board. He provided some of the issues which
may arise if the alignment is moved through the New Dawn
property.
In response to,Mr. Warren's question, Mr. Wright stated the
bid could be lost and a higher bid could be returned in the
future .
In response to Mr. Warren's questions, Mr. Covington stated a
delay in completing the Southwest Corridor Waterline could
potentially impact the Utilities Department's ability to
provide water service and adequate water pressure to existing
customers. He further stated not completing this waterline
will add more stress to the waterline system.
Ms. Durfee stated completing the Southwest Corridor Waterline
project is not for more sprawl development but for
sustainability of the current development.
In response to Ms. Durfee's questions, Mr. Covington stated
there will be an additional cost for realignment of the
waterline and potential permitting challenges with the
diagonal crossing of the New Dawn property. He further
stated the realignment of the waterline would cause continued
issues with eminent domain.
Mr. Holland stated different scenarios have been discussed if
the project is delayed and the Board must move with urgency.
Mr. Gecker stated anytime eminent domain is used it must be
taken seriously because property rights of property owners
are affected. He further stated every question being asked
has been answered adequately with regard to the reasons the
alignment is being done the way it is. He stated to defer
this request would not be prudent with regards to the
taxpayers' funds. He requested the Utilities Department to
replant trees on the abandoned construction easement once
construction is complete.
Mr. Warren stated the Board is tasked to_ make decisions based
on what is in the best interest of the majority of citizens
and delaying the Southwest Corridor Waterline Project could
impact costs and the water supply system in the future.
Ms. Jaeckle expressed concerns over the eminent domain and
stated it is needed to install the public utilities through
that area. She stated she hopes the Utilities Department can
work with Mr. Schmidt to return the property to the pre-
construction appearance.
09-493
08/26/09
Ms. Durfee requested the Utilities Department staff to work
with Mr. Schmidt either on the route of the waterline through
his property or to minimize the impact through the front of
his property.
On motion of Ms. Jaeckle, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board
authorized the County Attorney to proceed with eminent domain
for the acquisition of water, temporary construction and
drainage easements for the construction of the Southwest
Corridor Waterline Project - Phase II, Part A across the
following properties: Vulcan Lands, Inc., 15801 Beach Road,

Mr. Glenn Larson stated this date and time had been
advertised for the Board to consider a temporary reduction to
Planning Department fees for certain commercial activities.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Larson stated the
total cost of the proposed reduction to Planning Department
fees will be approximately $200,000 to $250,000.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Carmody stated if
the vote on the maximum cash proffer had gone the other way,
it would have cost the county approximately $20,000.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.
Ms. Lineta Gilreth, President of the Chesterfield Chamber of
Commerce and resident of the Dale District, read a prepared
statement from Mr. Bob Schrum, Chairman of the Government
Relations Committee of Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce,
which was in support of the reduction in Planning Department
fees for commercial development.
Ms. Debbie Girvin, representing the Chesterfield Business
Council of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce, stated

18.F. TO CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RELATIVE TO MASS
GRADING IN THE UPPER SWIFT CREEK WATERSHED
Mr. Micas stated this date and time had been advertised for
the Board to consider an ordinance amendment relative to mass
grading in the Upper Swift Creek watershed. He provided the
Board with information on the consequences of mass grading on
the environment and benefits of the mass grading ordinance on
the environment. He stated the Planning Commission reviewed
some of the other recent initiatives which have the same
effect of discouraging the loss of soil and trees. He
further stated when the Planning Commission reviewed the mass
grading ordinances some of the concerns expressed was that
the ordinance would create enforcement problems, a greater
expense, additional inspections and additional delays in the
permitting process. He stated the Planning Commission and
staff recommended not adopting the mass grading ordinance.
Mr. Warren called for public comment.
Mr. James Shelton, a Chesterfield County resident, spoke in
support of the mass grading ordinance.
Ms. Norma Szakal, a Chesterfield County resident, spoke in
support of the mass grading ordinance.
Ms. Betty Hunter-Clapp, a Clover Hill District resident,
inquired why the Planning Commission did not create a mass
grading ordinance which would work.
There being no one else to address this request, the public
hearing was closed.
Ms. Durfee stated while the Planning Commission reviewed the
mass grading ordinance their attention was focused on the
tree preservation ordinance. She further stated although the
tree preservation and mass grading ordinances are intertwined
they are two different concepts. She stated communities can
be successful in conserving open space and achieve their
development objectives. She further stated the Brandermill
and Woodlake communities were designed with varying size lots
and were able to keep the .trees. She stated she would like
the Planning Commission to spend more time focused on the
mass grading ordinance. She further stated the Comprehensive
Plan process is a great opportunity for the county to
understand the mass grading concepts and the impact they have
on different areas throughout the county. She stated she
would like the mass grading ordinance to apply to the entire
county not just the Upper Swift Creek watershed. She further
stated the root of the environmental problem is the
understanding of what we are doing with our soils and
streams. She stated she would like to make a motion to move
this item back to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Micas recommended the Board move not to adopt the current
ordinance and request the Planning Commission to place it on
their work agenda.
Ms. Durfee stated she could make that motion, but wanted to
hear from the other Board members before doing so.
09-499
08/26/09
Mr. Gecker stated the mass grading ordinance is not ready to
be adopted at this point and he would prefer to defer the
ordinance and keep it at the Board level. He further stated
the Board could work with staff, review the ordinance fairly
quickly and make a decision on it. He stated a commercial
component needs to be incorporated into the ordinance along
with the residential component.
a
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns with the length of time the
mass grading ordinance was with the Planning Commission. She
stated she would prefer the Board to move to deny the
proposed mass grading ordinance and possibly formulate a
committee to work in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan
Steering Committee as they are studying the environmental
issues.
Mr. Gecker stated he does not agree with linking the mass
grading ordinance in with the Comprehensive Plan Steering
Committee due to the many different directions they will be
working on items. He further stated he would like the Board
to defer the mass grading ordinance for a period of months to
allow time to work with staff to come up with a .different
proposal.
Mr. Micas stated the Board can defer the mass grading
ordinance for any amount of time.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Micas stated the
Board may or may not have to readvertise the mass grading
ordinance if it was deferred.
Mr. Gecker stated it is important to address the mass grading
ordinance and if it is sent to the Planning Commission to
place on their work program, it could take a long time to
have it back before the Board.
Ms. Durfee stated a committee could work with staff at the
Board level, but there could also be information brought to
the Board through the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee
and not necessarily wait for them to finish their work. She
further stated she would be willing to make a motion for the
Board to deny the proposed mass grading ordinance.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Ms. Durfee stated she
would not consider deferring the proposed mass grading
ordinance to allow it to be kept alive on the Board's agenda.
Mr. Gecker expressed concerns relative to denying the mass
grading ordinance and the amount of time before it is placed
back on the Board's agenda.
In response to Ms. Durfee's and Mr. Gecker's questions, Mr.
Micas stated the Board can have two motions, one to deny the
current ordinance and a second motion to send it to the
Planning Commission or the Board can defer the current
ordinance to a date certain.
Ms. Durfee stated the Planning Commission forwarded the mass
grading ordinance to the Board with a recommendation to not
adopt the ordinance without valid reasons for the
recommendation. She further stated she preferred to deny the
current ordinance which will give a fresh perspective where
the Board can direct staff on a new mass grading ordinance.

Mr. Gecker stated if the Board denies the current mass
grading ordinance it will be required to go through the
entire Planning Commission process, which will delay having
another mass grading ordinance back to the Board.
