Yep, that's what we're going to do right now.
I just have a follow-up question. And so when you say meet the local ordinance, is that meet the local ordinance at the time?
Okay, at the time of approval. And so you feel like that this is, without question, meets the ordinance requirements at the time? Yes. Okay. Supervisor Bone? Yes. And then Supervisor Madrone.
All right. One more question and then I'm going to go to public comment. And actually I'll let Tom.
And just for process, what I want to do is before the developer comes on, I want to let Supervisor Arroyo go next, and then I'm going to go to public comment, and then we'll... Well, I thought it'd be pertinent for the public to hear from the developer's representative in regards to their willingness to do a comprehensive EIR, for instance. Hold on one second. I... I would like to get through, the public will hear it, those questions, and we'll get. So I'm gonna keep moving with Supervisor Arroyo, and then we'll go to public comment, and then we'll bring it back. Supervisor Bone, you'd like…
Those are good test questions for the surveyors exam there. Okay, Supervisor Buon.
I just, thank you. All right. We're going to take it to public comment. And I just want to, if the applicant, we're going to give them their own time so they don't need to comment in this moment. So if there's anyone else that's not the applicant online, please raise your hand. Is there anyone there?
I think it's in the application, isn't it Danco? It's Danco.
OK, any more public comment? Seeing none, bringing it back to the board. I have a couple of questions, so I'll take a shot at this if I can. And John, I have a few for you in this. It seemed like there was review in terms of in terms of basically the infrastructure. We're just talking about really the roads, right? That was the environmental review was for that and not necessarily for, and I think what Supervisor Madron's talking about is the cumulative impacts of developing How many? 79 lots. 79 lots and in a forested land and the associated natural resource areas in there. And so I guess…
It wasn't analyzed at all. Yeah. Okay. It's a big hole. I think one of the questions that's here today is like, well, we wouldn't do it that way today. We just wouldn't happen. So there's concern about that and it's not just about that. I also have a concern about the idea that every one of these 79 lots is now also on septic as well and the cumulative impacts on water quality within those spaces and I'm kind of wondering like where does that happen and there's just no analysis for that as well as the as well as, as we talk about now in some of these larger lots, there's going to be the…
Right. So I'm just saying, like, I'm just kind of wondering about, was there any discussion about the sort of the, it surprises me that they're delivering sewer, I mean water and not sewer to this location. And what do we, that seems unusual to me.
Okay. It's interesting to me because we could potentially have a issue, we could potentially have a shelter cove issue here in terms of there could be lots that are unbuildable because there's been no environmental review or PERC or other things.
Well, if they did PERC, then they would have had to have done it in areas that qualify for that and would assume that there was somewhere, there was a buildable, component to that. I mean, would they, did they, each one of these lots was like outlined where the footprint of a structure would go and where that would happen. That happened at all.
And there would, and, From my perspective if I would buyer beware if you don't have a wetland delineation on any of these Lots, I mean it seems like you'd want to do that all up front and then subdivide your do your map based on based on the constraints of the of the situation this is what I'm kind of getting at it's like this reminds me a little bit of Shelter Cove in that way it's like made a subdivision map but didn't consider all the all the constraints and some Lots are having some real troubles so But going back to this, so there's just no cumulative review of 79 septic systems in this…
Okay. All right. I appreciate those are, I mean, those are kind of my basic questions. I really, I mean, I... I appreciate your perspective and what you're saying. It's kind of a little bit, we just wouldn't do it this way today. Agreed. Okay. Supervisor Bone, and then let's get down to some action.
OK. I was remiss in not having the applicant speak to this, so this is gonna be the time, and the applicants have sat through a lot here, for sure, and so if we could bring in the applicant now, and if they have something to say, or answer some questions, or those sorts of things, and then I know Supervisor Madrone has a question or two, and so if we could bring the applicant in, that'd be great. And again, I apologize for this late in the game.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
All right, is there any more discussion from the board? Supervisor Arroyo.
I want to, if I can, Director Ford, for one moment, because you're the one that basically put forward that if this is brought back next week, it doesn't really change the situation. Is that what I'm hearing from you?
Right. Let's talk about the expectations.
And have we received any comment specifically that this hasn't fulfilled those, is there any evidence that we're seeing that hasn't fulfilled those requirements?
No okay according to the county survey everything has been filled okay appreciate that supervisor Arroyo and then supervisor Madrone
Okay, so there's a request from the supervisor of the applicant. I'm just going to lay it out, the applicant. can respond. We're having a discussion, so we're not going to interrupt that at the moment. So as the chair, you can choose to say nothing, I suppose, respond affirmatively or not, or ask that this be delayed for a week. If you have thoughts on this, this is the time to push those forward. And I know that some I I would I would probably defer to Chris Dart as the representative because that's who work that's who were here speaking so Chris do you have any thoughts on... The request…

Okay, great. We have a response from the applicant. Is there any more discussion from the board in terms of the motion? Supervisor Arroyo.
