1 00:30:24,951 --> 00:30:25,651 the wildfire because we know 2 00:30:25,651 --> 00:30:27,820 that's one of the most likely 3 00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:28,154 events to happen in nevada 4 00:30:28,154 --> 00:30:28,921 county. 5 00:30:28,921 --> 00:30:31,824 Ready, set go is really built 6 00:30:31,824 --> 00:30:32,522 around the wildfire premise to 7 00:30:32,522 --> 00:30:35,522 prepare residents to be ready 8 00:30:36,195 --> 00:30:36,895 before event to move into 9 00:30:36,895 --> 00:30:40,232 the set posture when there's a 10 00:30:40,232 --> 00:30:43,568 red flag or fires near you and 11 00:30:43,568 --> 00:30:44,236 then to go when it's time to go 12 00:30:44,236 --> 00:30:46,636 essentially in its simplest 13 00:30:47,639 --> 00:30:48,175 form it's a three tiered 14 00:30:48,175 --> 00:30:50,175 community emergency 15 00:30:54,643 --> 00:30:56,643 preparedness plan. 16 00:30:59,800 --> 00:30:59,817 I have lived in this house 17 00:30:59,817 --> 00:31:02,887 which we built my husband and I 18 00:31:02,887 --> 00:31:05,689 twenty six years to go now 19 00:31:05,689 --> 00:31:06,356 actually we selected the party 20 00:31:06,356 --> 00:31:09,356 like the concrete siding and 21 00:31:10,627 --> 00:31:11,495 also the metal roof. 22 00:31:11,495 --> 00:31:15,695 Then when we moved up here and 23 00:31:17,683 --> 00:31:17,876 heard about the forty nine year 24 00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:18,690 fire that's when we started to 25 00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:18,265 say wow this really is even 26 00:31:18,265 --> 00:31:21,265 more important than we first 27 00:31:21,671 --> 00:31:22,472 realized for the forty nine 28 00:31:22,472 --> 00:31:25,741 fires, one of the most historic 29 00:31:25,741 --> 00:31:26,375 fires in nevada county's 30 00:31:26,375 --> 00:31:27,109 history, they figured it'd 31 00:31:27,109 --> 00:31:27,510 change the laws of the state of 32 00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:29,510 california. 33 00:31:30,276 --> 00:31:30,846 That said, this is how you have 34 00:31:30,846 --> 00:31:31,613 to protect your home. 35 00:31:31,613 --> 00:31:31,847 That came out of nevada county 36 00:31:31,847 --> 00:31:33,248 . 37 00:31:33,248 --> 00:31:33,880 Steve eubanks came from 38 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880 the fire safe council and 39 00:31:37,252 --> 00:31:37,917 the main thing we needed to pay 40 00:31:37,917 --> 00:31:40,917 attention to was the ladder 41 00:31:41,156 --> 00:31:41,857 fuels planting has been removed 42 00:31:41,857 --> 00:31:45,157 from the edges of the house so 43 00:31:45,157 --> 00:31:45,557 that it does not touch 44 00:31:45,557 --> 00:31:47,557 the house. 45 00:31:48,796 --> 00:31:49,497 It was an incredible service 46 00:31:49,497 --> 00:31:53,970 from the fire safe council to 47 00:31:53,134 --> 00:31:53,734 come out and spend a couple of 48 00:31:53,734 --> 00:31:56,134 hours going through this 49 00:31:56,971 --> 00:31:57,671 property so already faces when 50 00:31:57,671 --> 00:31:58,236 there's no immediate threat to 51 00:31:58,236 --> 00:32:00,438 you and your family. 52 00:32:00,438 --> 00:32:01,141 This is the time when you 53 00:32:01,141 --> 00:32:04,440 should be doing education and 54 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,444 planning whether that be 55 00:32:07,848 --> 00:32:08,448 training, educating yourself or 56 00:32:08,448 --> 00:32:09,149 accumulating equipment, 57 00:32:09,149 --> 00:32:11,549 hardening your home, creating 58 00:32:11,951 --> 00:32:12,585 defensible space, defensible 59 00:32:12,585 --> 00:32:15,585 space is really all about 60 00:32:16,222 --> 00:32:16,823 creating a buffer zne between 61 00:32:16,823 --> 00:32:19,223 your house and flammable 62 00:32:19,756 --> 00:32:20,557 vegetation. 63 00:32:20,557 --> 00:32:21,193 We really focus on defensible 64 00:32:21,193 --> 00:32:24,130 space around the home that 65 00:32:24,130 --> 00:32:24,830 first one hundred feet but also 66 00:32:24,830 --> 00:32:27,830 around the roadway to another 67 00:32:28,233 --> 00:32:28,934 aspect the ready phase is 68 00:32:28,934 --> 00:32:31,337 hardening the home and really 69 00:32:31,337 --> 00:32:31,937 what that means is making your 70 00:32:31,937 --> 00:32:34,937 home more resilient to a 71 00:32:34,973 --> 00:32:35,671 wildfire that's going to be 72 00:32:35,671 --> 00:32:36,374 putting the fine grained mesh 73 00:32:36,374 --> 00:32:39,210 around the vents of your home 74 00:32:39,210 --> 00:32:39,811 so the embers won't get into 75 00:32:39,811 --> 00:32:40,512 under your house or into 76 00:32:40,512 --> 00:32:43,248 the eaves of your house that's 77 00:32:43,248 --> 00:32:43,912 going to be using 78 00:32:43,912 --> 00:32:45,912 noncombustible materials on 79 00:32:46,884 --> 00:32:47,552 your deck and around your home 80 00:32:47,552 --> 00:32:48,316 so no storm comes through. 81 00:32:48,316 --> 00:32:51,916 It's not going to ignite your 82 00:33:04,935 --> 00:33:05,735 home itself. 83 00:33:05,735 --> 00:33:08,972 I currently live here in grass 84 00:33:08,972 --> 00:33:09,806 valley with my parents all of 85 00:33:09,806 --> 00:33:13,420 us have sleep apnea so we all 86 00:33:13,420 --> 00:33:13,843 have separate machines that 87 00:33:13,843 --> 00:33:17,443 require power in order to run. 88 00:33:17,511 --> 00:33:21,111 I also use a nebulizer and 89 00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:23,650 that's used to disperse 90 00:33:24,186 --> 00:33:24,887 the medication that I need give 91 00:33:24,887 --> 00:33:27,887 myself breathing again when we 92 00:33:28,554 --> 00:33:32,154 have safety shutoffs we have

00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:40,980 some of the things around 97 00:33:40,268 --> 00:33:41,200 the house but then I obtained a 98 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,402 pretty substantial battery from 99 00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:47,175 friede and it was so easy to go 100 00:33:47,175 --> 00:33:47,872 through the process to obtain a 101 00:33:47,872 --> 00:33:50,872 battery that I would recommend 102 00:33:51,109 --> 00:33:51,745 it to anyone who might have 103 00:33:51,745 --> 00:33:54,145 medical needs that require 104 00:33:55,349 --> 00:33:55,947 power or really anything. 105 00:33:55,947 -->

to get my phone back 221 00:37:36,690 --> 00:37:37,358 into hand and to take a picture 222 00:37:37,358 --> 00:37:40,958 was engulfed in flames and I 223 00:37:41,161 --> 00:37:41,828 knew that within moments it 224 00:37:41,828 --> 00:37:43,997 would start exploding and I 225 00:37:43,997 --> 00:37:45,997 would be dead. 226 00:37:48,268 --> 00:37:48,935 And just as I moved out of this 227 00:37:48,935 --> 00:37:51,935 the range of the explosions 228 00:37:52,205 --> 00:37:52,936 they started happening and I 229 00:37:52,936 --> 00:37:53,172 prayed for the people behind me 230 00:37:53,172 --> 00:37:55,172 . 231 00:37:56,420 --> 00:37:58,442 Ten minute drive normally 232 00:37:59,776 --> 00:38:02,776 the trickle became almost four 233 00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:11,653 hours so it was a long trip. 234 00:38:11,653 --> 00:38:15,560 We started to hear a pattern. 235 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:15,592 People kept telling their story 236 00:38:15,592 --> 00:38:17,992 of how they escaped 237 00:38:18,795 --> 00:38:19,494 the campfire and they talked 238 00:38:19,494 --> 00:38:20,197 about how if it wasn't for my 239 00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:23,197 neighbor who came and knocked 240 00:38:23,433 --> 00:38:24,401 on my door to tell me there was 241 00:38:24,401 --> 00:38:27,103 a fire, I don't know that I 242 00:38:27,103 --> 00:38:29,970 would have gotten out alive if 243 00:38:29,970 --> 00:38:30,640 it wasn't for my son who lives 244 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,100 next door picking me up and 245 00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:34,644 putting me in their car and 246 00:38:34,644 --> 00:38:35,445 driving me out of there. 247 00:38:35,445 --> 00:38:38,147 I don't know how I would have 248 00:38:38,147 --> 00:38:38,781 survived and so I started 249 00:38:38,781 --> 00:38:41,181 really thinking about this 250 00:38:42,150 --> 00:38:42,685 connection between isolation 251 00:38:42,685 --> 00:38:46,252 and how connected you are to 252 00:38:46,252 --> 00:38:46,955 your community, to your 253 00:38:46,955 --> 00:38:49,955 neighbors, to your friends, to 254 00:38:50,258 --> 00:38:50,993 your family and how that can be 255 00:38:50,993 --> 00:38:53,928 really helpful in a time of a 256 00:38:53,928 --> 00:38:54,596 disaster. 257 00:38:54,596 --> 00:38:56,996 So we were actually 258 00:38:58,199 --> 00:39:00,599 the beneficiaries of someone 259 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:02,737 making that plan in advance to 260 00:39:02,737 --> 00:39:03,438 have that group of people that 261 00:39:03,438 --> 00:39:05,706 they were going to call and 262 00:39:05,706 --> 00:39:05,940 that she saved my life that day 263 00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:07,940 . 264 00:39:09,143 --> 00:39:09,808 So absolutely having that 265 00:39:09,808 --> 00:39:12,208 network really saved lives. 266 00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:15,820 >> find your five. 267 00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:17,117 The idea is that you know, find 268 00:39:17,117 --> 00:39:17,849 trusted allies that can be 269 00:39:17,849 --> 00:39:21,252 there and can be responsive and 270 00:39:21,252 --> 00:39:21,888 we'll check in with you if a 271 00:39:21,888 --> 00:39:24,288 disaster were to happen. 272 00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:25,859 >> so we recommend that you put 273 00:39:25,859 --> 00:39:26,559 people in your network that are 274 00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:29,462 down the street that are maybe 275 00:39:29,462 --> 00:39:30,127 the next town over there 276 00:39:30,127 --> 00:39:33,127 outside the county and maybe 277 00:39:40,339 --> 00:39:41,730 even outside of the state 278 00:39:41,730 --> 00:39:44,876 the final tier of the ready set 279 00:39:44,876 --> 00:39:48,313 go is that go peace and it's 280 00:39:48,313 --> 00:39:48,980 simply that it's go evacuate 281 00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:49,381 mission information comes in 282 00:39:49,381 --> 00:39:51,381 two types. 283 00:39:52,517 --> 00:39:53,480 The first type could be an 284 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:53,618 evacuation warning. 285 00:39:53,618 --> 00:39:56,180 This is an essentially 286 00:39:56,587 --> 00:39:57,255 information we're going to push 287 00:39:57,255 --> 00:40:00,255 out to the public notifying 288 00:40:00,424 --> 00:40:01,125 them of a potential threat in 289 00:40:01,125 --> 00:40:04,161 their area where they MAY have 290 00:40:04,161 --> 00:40:04,895 to evacuate their home and 291 00:40:04,895 --> 00:40:05,629 evacuation order is essentially 292 00:40:05,629 --> 00:40:07,464 that we are telling people that 293 00:40:07,464 --> 00:40:08,232 it's time to go. 294 00:40:08,232 --> 00:40:11,165 There is an imminent threat to 295 00:40:11,165 --> 00:40:11,835 life and we do not believe that 296 00:40:11,835 --> 00:40:15,338 you have much time to leave 297 00:40:15,338 --> 00:40:17,338 the area. 298 00:40:19,476 --> 00:40:20,176 >> code red is a opt in 299 00:40:20,176 --> 00:40:20,608 alerting system that will dial 300 00:40:20,608 --> 00:40:22,608 your number. 301 00:40:23,844 --> 00:40:24,480 It'll send you a phone call, a 302 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,480 text message and an email 303 00:40:27,717 --> 00:40:28,484 notifying you of an emergency. 304 00:40:28,484 --> 00:40:28,818 That message is sent from our 305 00:40:28,818 --> 00:40:30,818 office. 306 00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:31,787 The office of emergency 307 00:40:31,787 --> 00:40:32,485 services. 308 00:40:32,485 --> 00:40:35,257 It's going to be very targeted 309 00:40:35,257 --> 00:40:35,858 to your area and it'll be 310 00:40:35,858 --> 00:40:38,258 specific to you that 513 311 00:40:39,325 --> 00:40:40,126 the phone rang with the code 312 00:40:40,126 --> 00:40:42,962 red call and so as I was going 313 00:40:42,962 --> 00:40:43,699 up forty nine I could look over 314 00:40:43,699 --> 00:40:47,302 to the left and see the flames 315 00:40:47,302 --> 00:40:48,167 in the canyon. 316 00:40:48,167 --> 00:40:50,672 The next layer is for staff to 317 00:40:50,672 --> 00:40:53,672 actually be out driving in 318 00:40:54,308 --> 00:40:54,542 the areas with a high low siren 319 00:40:54,542 --> 00:40:56,542 . 320 00:40:58,643 --> 00:40:59,313 >> there's no other reason 321 00:40:59,313 --> 00:41:00,140 you'll hear that in an area 322 00:41:00,140 --> 00:41:02,881 unless we're putting out that 323 00:41:02,881 --> 00:41:03,317 evacuation order not a warning 324 00:41:03,317 --> 00:41:05,317 but an order. 325 00:41:06,553 --> 00:41:07,254 My day started routine patrol 326 00:41:07,254 --> 00:41:10,922 came in and I was notified by 327 00:41:10,922 --> 00:41:11,625 dispatch to respond out to 328 00:41:11,625 --> 00:41:14,925 the jones fire houses that had 329 00:41:14,925 --> 00:41:15,462 evacuation tags made it so we 330 00:41:15,462 --> 00:41:16,360 could just pass by. 331 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,598 We knew that the residents had 332 00:41:18,598 --> 00:41:19,265 already been evacuated 333 00:41:19,265 --> 00:41:21,834 residences that did not have 334 00:41:21,834 --> 00:41:22,535 the tags we would have to 335 00:41:22,535 --> 00:41:25,535 physically go in, knock on 336 00:41:25,705 --> 00:41:26,305 the door, look in the windows, 337 00:41:26,305 --> 00:41:26,973 make sure there were no 338 00:41:26,973 --> 00:41:29,373 occupants inside once you've 339 00:41:29,775 --> 00:41:32,175 been evacuated as you're 340 00:41:33,379 --> 00:41:34,120 leaving, put this tag somewhere 341 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,120 very clearly identifiable 342 00:41:37,416 --> 00:41:38,116 whether it's a mailbox, a gate 343 00:41:38,116 --> 00:41:40,785 ,your address marker so that 344 00:41:40,785 --> 00:41:41,387 deputies and officers can 345 00:41:41,387 --> 00:41:43,421 quickly identify if your 346 00:41:43,421 --> 00:41:45,821 residence has already been 347 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,543 evacuated. 348 00:42:06,543 --> 00:42:09,579 I mean you look out my back 349 00:42:09,579 --> 00:42:12,749 window here on the east side 350 00:42:12,749 -->

it was such an 354 00:42:20,921 --> 00:42:21,722 incredible relief to have 355 00:42:21,722 --> 00:42:25,227 the house as safe as it was. 356 00:42:25,227 --> 00:42:25,959 I and I think with personal

00:48:52,958 its simplest form it's athree 489 00:48:52,958 --> 00:48:54,958 tiered community emergency 490 00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:05,300 preparedness plan I have lived 491 00:49:06,637 --> 00:49:07,335 in this house which we built my 492 00:49:07,335 --> 00:49:10,474 husband and I twenty six years 493 00:49:10,474 --> 00:49:13,474 ago now actually we selected 494 00:49:14,144 --> 00:49:14,845 the hardy plug the concrete 495 00:49:14,845 --> 00:49:15,780 siding and also the metal roof 496 00:49:15,780 --> 00:49:17,780 . 497 00:49:18,682 --> 00:49:19,382 Then we moved up here and heard 498 00:49:19,382 --> 00:49:19,613 about the forty nine year fire 499 00:49:19,613 --> 00:49:21,613 . 500 00:49:22,285 --> 00:49:22,953 that's when we started to say 501 00:49:22,953 --> 00:49:26,356 wow this really is even more 502 00:49:26,356 --> 00:49:27,230 important than we first 503 00:49:27,230 --> 00:49:29,992 realized for the forty nine 504 00:49:29,992 --> 00:49:30,593 year fire fires one of the most 505 00:49:30,593 --> 00:49:32,993 historic fires in nevada 506 00:49:34,630 --> 00:49:34,664 county's history they figured 507 00:49:34,664 --> 00:49:35,295 it'd change the laws of 508 00:49:35,295 --> 00:49:36,198 the state of california. 509 00:49:36,198 --> 00:49:38,531 That said, this is how you have 510 00:49:38,531 --> 00:49:39,101 to protect your home that came

00:49:46,437 the main thing we needed to pay 515 00:49:46,508 --> 00:49:47,242 attention to was the ladder 516 00:49:47,242 --> 00:49:50,242 fuels planting has been removed 517 00:49:50,745 --> 00:49:51,312 from the edges of the house so 518 00:49:51,312 --> 00:49:54,213 that it does not touch 519 00:49:54,213 --> 00:49:54,951 the house. 520 00:49:54,951 --> 00:49:57,951 It was an incredible service 521 00:49:58,353 --> 00:49:59,510 from the fire safe council to 522 00:49:59,510 --> 00:50:02,890 come out and spend a couple of 523 00:50:02,890 --> 00:50:02,456 hours going through this 524 00:50:02,456 --> 00:50:03,124 property. 525 00:50:03,124 --> 00:50:05,459 So the remedy phase is when 526 00:50:05,459 --> 00:50:06,291 there's no immediate threat to 527 00:50:06,291 --> 00:50:06,961

--> 00:50:25,778 your house and flammable 538 00:50:25,778 --> 00:50:26,479 vegetation. 539 00:50:26,479 --> 00:50:29,479 We really focus on defensible 540 00:50:29,615 --> 00:50:30,247 space around the home but first 541 00:50:30,247 --> 00:50:33,152 one hundred feet but also 542 00:50:33,152 --> 00:50:33,886 around the roadway to another 543 00:50:33,886 --> 00:50:37,389 aspect of the ready phase is 544 00:50:37,389 --> 00:50:38,870 hardening the home and really 545 00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:41,259 what that means is making your 546 00:50:41,259 --> 00:50:41,891 home more resilient to

what you're not going to take 682 00:55:04,340 --> 00:55:05,720 the night before the fire I 683 00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:07,210 knew it was a red flag warning 684 00:55:07,210 --> 00:55:07,510 and I knew that it was high 685 00:55:07,510 --> 00:55:08,411 risk. 686 00:55:08,411 --> 00:55:11,147 >> so on my way home I filled 687 00:55:11,147 --> 00:55:12,148 up the tank. 688 00:55:12,148 --> 00:55:15,840 Well, we we didn't get too far 689 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:15,748 from the house. 690 00:55:15,748 --> 00:55:18,148 You're watching fire coming 691 00:55:19,121 --> 00:55:19,952 down the hill. 692 00:55:19,952 --> 00:55:22,952 >> there was a machine shop 693 00:55:23,358 --> 00:55:23,959 right to my right right there 694 00:55:23,959 --> 00:55:27,559 and it had gas tanks and 695 00:55:27,593 --> 00:55:31,466 propane tanks and I saw a lone 696 00:55:31,466 --> 00:55:32,166 ember kind of floating through 697 00:55:32,166 --> 00:55:34,633 dancing through the air and I 698 00:55:34,633 --> 00:55:37,633 watched does it landed on 699 00:55:38,470 --> 00:55:39,173 the machine shop in the time it 700 00:55:39,173 --> 00:55:42,743 took me to get my phone back 701 00:55:42,743 --> 00:55:46,248 into hand and to take a picture 702 00:55:46,248 --> 00:55:46,911 it was engulfed in flames and I 703 00:55:46,911 --> 00:55:49,911 knew that within moments it 704 00:55:50,417 --> 00:55:53,417 would start exploding and I 705 00:55:54,454 --> 00:55:55,255 would be dead and just as I 706 00:55:55,255 --> 00:55:58,389 moved out of this the range of 707 00:55:58,389 --> 00:55:59,250 the explosion they started 708 00:55:59,250 --> 00:56:02,250 happening and I prayed for 709 00:56:02,225 --> 00:56:02,895 the people behind me. 710 00:56:02,895 --> 00:56:05,295 Ten minute drive normally 711 00:56:05,498 --> 00:56:08,498 the trickle became almost four 712 00:56:19,277 --> 00:56:20,145 hours so it was a long trip. 713 00:56:20,145 --> 00:56:20,910 We started to hear a pattern. 714 00:56:20,910 --> 00:56:23,448 People kept telling us their 715 00:56:23,448 --> 00:56:24,115 story of how they escaped 716 00:56:24,115 --> 00:56:26,749 the campfire and they talked 717 00:56:26,749 --> 00:56:27,452 about how if it wasn't for my 718 00:56:27,452 --> 00:56:30,452 neighbor who came and knocked 719 00:56:30,688 --> 00:56:31,622 on my door to tell me there was 720 00:56:31,622 --> 00:56:34,291 a fire, I don't know that I 721 00:56:34,291 --> 00:56:35,920 would have gotten out alive if 722 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,862 it wasn't for my son who lives 723 00:56:38,862 --> 00:56:39,530 next door picking me up and 724 00:56:39,530 --> 00:56:42,463 putting me in their car and 725 00:56:42,463 --> 00:56:43,300 driving me out there. 726 00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:43,934 I don't know how I would have 727 00:56:43,934 --> 00:56:46,603 survived and so I started 728 00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:47,268 really thinking about this 729 00:56:47,268 --> 00:56:49,268 connection between isolation 730 00:57:07,387 --> 00:57:07,987 and how connected you are to 731 00:57:07,987 --> 00:57:08,724 your community, to your 732 00:57:08,724 --> 00:57:09,458 neighbors, to your friends, to 733 00:57:09,458 --> 00:57:10,192 your family and how that can be 734 00:57:10,192 --> 00:57:10,559 really helpful in a time of a 735 00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:11,159 disaster. 736 00:57:11,159 --> 00:57:11,824 >> so we were actually 737 00:57:11,824 --> 00:57:12,527 the beneficiaries of someone 738 00:57:12,527 --> 00:57:13,226 making that plan in advance to 739 00:57:13,226 --> 00:57:13,895 have that group of people that 740 00:57:13,895 --> 00:57:14,563 they were going to call and 741 00:57:14,563 --> 00:57:14,827 that she saved my life that 742 00:57:14,827 --> 00:57:15,464 day. 743 00:57:15,464 --> 00:57:17,864 So absolutely having that 744 00:57:17,899 --> 00:57:20,299 network really saved lives. 745 00:57:21,467 --> 00:57:22,203 >> find your five the idea is 746 00:57:22,203 --> 00:57:25,203 that you know, find trusted 747 00:57:25,606 --> 00:57:26,274 allies that can be there and 748 00:57:26,274 --> 00:57:28,643 can be responsive and we'll 749 00:57:28,643 --> 00:57:29,110 check in with you if a disaster 750 00:57:29,110 --> 00:57:31,110 were to happen. 751 00:58:13,718 --> 00:58:14,519 >> so we recommend that you put 752 00:58:14,519 --> 00:58:15,153 have a broad spectrum. 753 00:58:15,153 --> 00:58:18,189 We want to be prepared for 754 00:58:18,189 --> 00:58:18,923 anything but really we focus a 755 00:58:18,923 --> 00:58:22,126 lot on wildfire because we know 756 00:58:22,126 --> 00:58:22,760 that's oe of the most likely 757 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,996 events to happen in nevada 758 00:58:24,996 --> 00:58:25,897 county. 759 00:58:25,897 --> 00:58:26,597 Ready, set go is really built 760 00:58:26,597 --> 00:58:29,199 around the wildfire premise to 761 00:58:29,199 --> 00:58:32,199 prepare residents to be ready 762 00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:33,771 before an event to move into 763 00:58:33,771 --> 00:58:36,907 the set posture when there's a 764 00:58:36,907 --> 00:58:37,774 red flag or fires near you and 765 00:58:37,774 --> 00:58:41,440 then to go when it's time to go 766 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:41,742 essentially and simplest form 767 00:58:41,742 --> 00:58:44,742 it's a three tiered community 768 00:58:50,887 --> 00:58:52,887 emergency preparedness plan. 769 00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:55,124 I have lived in this house 770 00:58:55,124 --> 00:58:58,127 which we built my husband and I 771 00:58:58,127 --> 00:59:01,127 twenty six years ago now 772 00:59:01,964 --> 00:59:02,631 actually we selected the party 773 00:59:02,631 --> 00:59:05,631 like the concrete siding and 774 00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:06,899 also the metal roof. 775 00:59:06,899 --> 00:59:07,636 Then when we moved up here and 776 00:59:07,636 --> 00:59:10,405 heard about the forty nine year 777 00:59:10,405 --> 00:59:11,720 fire that's when we started to 778 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,409 say wow this really is even 779 00:59:14,409 --> 00:59:15,760 more important than we first 780 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:17,745 realized for the forty nine 781 00:59:17,745 --> 00:59:18,346 year fire is one of the most 782 00:59:18,346 --> 00:59:20,746 historic fires in nevada 783 00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:21,949 county's history. 784 00:59:21,949 --> 00:59:22,550 They figured it'd change 785 00:59:22,550 --> 00:59:22,950 the laws of the state of 786 00:59:22,950 --> 00:59:24,950 california. 787 00:59:25,786 --> 00:59:26,487 That said, this is how you have 788 00:59:26,487 --> 00:59:27,540 to protect your home that came 789 00:59:27,540 --> 00:59:29,454 out of nevada county. 790 00:59:29,490 --> 00:59:30,124 Steve eubanks came from 791 00:59:30,124 --> 00:59:33,124 the fire safe council and 792 00:59:33,493 --> 00:59:34,161 the main thing we needed to pay 793 00:59:34,161 --> 00:59:37,161 attention to was the ladder 794 00:59:37,430 --> 00:59:38,131 fuels planting has been removed 795 00:59:38,131 --> 00:59:41,434 from the edges of the house so 796 00:59:41,434 --> 00:59:41,835 that it does not touch 797 00:59:41,835 --> 00:59:43,835 the house. 798 00:59:45,710 --> 00:59:45,772 It was an incredible service 799 00:59:45,772 --> 00:59:49,372 from the fire safe council to 800 00:59:49,508 --> 00:59:50,109 come out and spend a couple of 801 00:59:50,109 --> 00:59:52,509 hours going through this 802 00:59:52,511 --> 00:59:53,212 property so already phases when 803 00:59:53,212 --> 00:59:56,212 there's no immediate threat to 804 00:59:56,248 --> 00:59:56,949 you and your family. 805 00:59:56,949 --> 00:59:57,649 This is the time when you 806 00:59:57,649 --> 01:00:00,319 should be doing education and 807 01:00:00,319 --> 01:00:02,719 planning whether that be 808 01:00:03,252 --> 01:00:03,853 training, educating yourself or 809 01:00:03,853 --> 01:00:04,556 accumulating equipment, 810 01:00:04,556 --> 01:00:06,956 hardening your home, creating 811 01:00:07,392 --> 01:00:08,260 defensible space, defensible 812 01:00:08,260 --> 01:00:11,260 space is really all about 813 01:00:11,663 --> 01:00:12,263 creating a buffer zone between 814 01:00:12,263 --> 01:00:14,663 your house and flammable 815 01:00:16,131 --> 01:00:16,968 vegetation. 816 01:00:16,968 --> 01:00:17,702 We really focus on defensible 817 01:00:17,702 --> 01:00:19,503 space around the home but first 818 01:00:19,503 --> 01:00:20,204 one hundred feet but also 819 01:00:20,204 --> 01:00:23,204 around the roadway to another 820 01:00:23,509 --> 01:00:24,208 aspect the ready phase is 821 01:00:24,208 --> 01:00:27,208 hardening the home and really 822 01:00:27,511 --> 01:00:28,111 what that means is making your 823 01:00:28,111 --> 01:00:31,111 home more resilient to a 824 01:00:31,248 --> 01:00:31,948 wildfire that's going to be 825 01:00:31,948 --> 01:00:32,649 putting the fine grained mesh 826 01:00:32,649 --> 01:00:35,485 around the vents of your home 827 01:00:35,485 --> 01:00:36,860 so the embers won't get into 828 01:00:36,860 --> 01:00:36,786 under your house or into 829 01:00:36,786 --> 01:00:39,522 the eaves of your house that's 830 01:00:39,522 --> 01:00:40,189 going to be using 831 01:00:40,189 --> 01:00:42,189 noncombustible materials on 832 01:00:42,289 --> 01:00:42,959 your deck and around your home 833 01:00:42,959 --> 01:00:43,690 so no storm comes through. 834 01:00:43,690 --> 01:00:47,290 It's not going to ignite your 835 01:01:01,309 --> 01:01:02,110 home itself. 836 01:01:02,110 --> 01:01:05,246 I currently live here in grass 837 01:01:05,246 --> 01:01:06,800 valley with my parents all of 838 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,317 us have sleep apnea so we all 839 01:01:09,317 --> 01:01:10,118 have sleep machines that 840 01:01:10,118 --> 01:01:13,718 require power in order to run. 841 01:01:13,788 --> 01:01:16,424 >> I also use a nebulizer and 842 01:01:16,424 --> 01:01:18,824 that's used to disperse 843 01:01:20,461 --> 01:01:21,161 medication that I need get 844 01:01:21,161 --> 01:01:24,161 myself breathing again when we 845 01:01:24,831 --> 01:01:28,332 have safety shutoffs we have to 846 01:01:28,332 --> 01:01:29,350 hook up our equipment to 847 01:01:29,350 --> 01:01:31,435 batteries that have inverters. 848 01:01:31,638 --> 01:01:32,272 >> we have a generator that 849 01:01:32,272 --> 01:01:35,272 powers some of the things 850 01:01:35,372 --> 01:01:36,750 around the house but

filled 963 01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:01,980 up the tank. 964 01:05:01,398 --> 01:05:02,101 >> oh well we we didn't get too 965 01:05:02,101 --> 01:05:05,701 far from the house and you're 966 01:05:06,339

01:05:17,382 there and it had gas tanks and 970 01:05:17,382 --> 01:05:20,917 propane tanks and I saw a lone 971 01:05:20,917 --> 01:05:21,620 ember kind of floating through 972 01:05:21,620 --> 01:05:25,190 dancing through the air and I 973 01:05:25,190 --> 01:05:25,924 watched it as it landed on 974 01:05:25,924 --> 01:05:29,391 the machine shop in the time it 975 01:05:29,391 --> 01:05:32,630 took me to get my phone back 976 01:05:32,630 --> 01:05:32,730 into hand and to take a picture 977 01:05:32,730 --> 01:05:36,330 was engulfed in flames and I 978 01:05:36,500 --> 01:05:37,168 knew that within moments it 979 01:05:37,168 --> 01:05:40,168 would start exploding and I 980 01:05:40,235 --> 01:05:42,235 would be dead. 981 01:05:44,508 --> 01:05:45,175 And just as I moved out of this 982 01:05:45,175 --> 01:05:48,175 the range of the explosions 983 01:05:48,445 --> 01:05:49,110 they started happening and I 984 01:05:49,110 --> 01:05:49,379 prayed for the people behind 985 01:05:49,379 --> 01:05:51,379 me. 986 01:05:52,313 --> 01:05:54,713 Ten minute drive normally 987 01:05:55,151 --> 01:05:58,151 the trickle became almost four 988 01:06:07,193 --> 01:06:07,994 hours so it was a long trip. 989 01:06:07,994 --> 01:06:10,466 We started to hear a pattern. 990 01:06:10,466 --> 01:06:11,000 People kept telling their story 991 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:13,400 of how they escaped 992 01:06:14,202 --> 01:06:14,905 the campfire and they talked 993 01:06:14,905 --> 01:06:15,604 about how if it wasn't for my 994 01:06:15,604 --> 01:06:18,604 neighbor who came and knocked 995 01:06:19,574 --> 01:06:20,542 on my door to tell me there was 996 01:06:20,542 --> 01:06:22,377 a fire, I on't know that I 997 01:06:22,377 --> 01:06:25,977 would have gotten out alive if 998 01:06:26,214 --> 01:06:26,881 it wasn't for my son who lives 999 01:06:26,881 --> 01:06:30,148 next door picking me up and 1000 01:06:30,148 --> 01:06:30,785 putting me in their car and 1001 01:06:30,785 --> 01:06:31,586 driving me out of there. 1002 01:06:31,586 --> 01:06:34,288 I don't know how I would have 1003 01:06:34,288 --> 01:06:34,922 survived and so I started 1004 01:06:34,922 --> 01:06:37,322 really thinking about this 1005 01:06:38,158 --> 01:06:38,826 connection between isolation 1006 01:06:38,826 --> 01:06:42,396 and how connected you are to 1007 01:06:42,396 --> 01:06:43,960 your community, to your 1008 01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:45,532 neighbors, to your friends, to 1009 01:06:45,532 --> 01:06:46,266 your family and how that can be 1010

beneficiaries of someone 1014 01:06:57,307 --> 01:06:58,100 making that plan in advance to 1015 01:06:58,100 --> 01:06:58,709 have that group of people that 1016 01:06:58,709 --> 01:07:01,847 they were going to call and 1017 01:07:01,847 --> 01:07:02,810 that she saved my life that day 1018 01:07:02,810 --> 01:07:04,810 . 1019 01:07:05,284 --> 01:07:05,949 So absolutely having that 1020 01:07:05,949 --> 01:07:08,349 network really saved lives. 1021 01:07:09,454 --> 01:07:10,355 >> find your five. 1022 01:07:10,355 --> 01:07:14,555 The idea is that you know, find 1023 01:07:30,241 -->

01:07:37,114 even outside the state 1033 01:07:37,114 --> 01:07:40,948 the final tier of the race that 1034 01:07:40,948 --> 01:07:44,287 go is that go piece and it's 1035 01:07:44,287 -->

01:41:36,193 wasn't any peery view, why 1976 01:41:36,193 --> 01:41:39,696 nobody send anybody out to take 1977 01:41:39,696 --> 01:41:43,296 a look at the water quality. 1978 01:41:43,297 --> 01:41:44,000 Nobody did anything except 1979 01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:46,369 analyze what they submitted. 1980 01:41:46,369 --> 01:41:47,300 >> so I thank you very much. 1981 01:41:47,300 -->

1995 01:42:14,162 --> 01:42:17,162 inadequate because it fails to 1996 01:42:17,296 --> 01:42:17,932 address the potential 1997 01:42:17,932 --> 01:42:20,332 significant impact of mine 1998 01:42:21,335 --> 01:42:22,700 waste disposal. 1999 01:42:22,700 --> 01:42:24,405 The mine project plans to 2000 01:42:24,405 --> 01:42:25,390 export 1000 tonnes of tailings 2001 01:42:25,390 --> 01:42:25,840 and waste rock per day. 2002 01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:28,540 This mine waste wll be dumped 2003 01:42:28,540 --> 01:42:29,174 into two engineered filled 2004 01:42:29,174 --> 01:42:32,174 piles over the course of 2005 01:42:32,413 --> 01:42:33,213 the first eleven years. 2006 01:42:33,213 --> 01:42:33,914 After that the mine waste will 2007 01:42:33,914 --> 01:42:36,450 be disposed of through offsite 2008 01:42:36,450 --> 01:42:37,150 sales. 2009 01:42:37,150 --> 01:42:37,884 There are sgnificant issues 2010 01:42:37,884 --> 01:42:40,720 with the disposal of mine waste 2011 01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:41,419 due to the potential to pollute 2012 01:42:41,419 --> 01:42:43,819 groundwater and surface waters 2013 01:42:44,324 --> 01:42:44,557 by leaching hazardous chemicals 2014 01:42:44,557 --> 01:42:45,240 . 2015 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:45,558 This falls under 2016 01:42:45,558 --> 01:42:47,558 the jurisdiction of 2017 01:42:48,361 --> 01:42:48,828 the regional water quality 2018 01:42:48,828 --> 01:42:49,562 control board. 2019 01:42:49,562 --> 01:42:52,131 The water board classifies mine 2020 01:42:52,131 --> 01:42:55,468 waste as groups a, b or c only 2021 01:42:55,468 --> 01:42:56,168 group c which has relatively 2022 01:42:56,168 --> 01:42:59,168 low levels of contaminants is 2023 01:42:59,405 --> 01:43:00,390 clean enough to be used for off 2024 01:43:00,390 --> 01:43:03,390 site sales groups saying b 2025 01:43:03,373 --> 01:43:03,609 require more stringent controls 2026 01:43:03,609 --> 01:43:04,309 . 2027 01:43:04,309 --> 01:43:04,943 The water board requires mine 2028 01:43:04,943 --> 01:43:07,343 waste testing to determine 2029 01:43:07,846 --> 01:43:10,846 class defecation in response to 2030 01:43:11,349 --> 01:43:12,140 the draft are the water board 2031 01:43:12,140 --> 01:43:14,414 stated quote the applicant 2032 01:43:15,419 --> 01:43:16,190 shall not sell or utilize waste 2033 01:43:16,190 --> 01:43:16,720 rock and tailings from 2034 01:43:16,720 --> 01:43:19,720 the project for a construction 2035 01:43:19,756 --> 01:43:20,490 aggregate or field purposes off 2036 01:43:20,490 --> 01:43:22,792 site and thus such material has 2037 01:43:22,792 --> 01:43:25,792 been tested and confirmed to 2038 01:43:27,463 --> 01:43:28,264 qualify as group c mining waste 2039 01:43:28,264 --> 01:43:31,501 in the e r the water board and 2040 01:43:31,501 --> 01:43:32,132 numerous other parties 2041 01:43:32,132 --> 01:43:32,732 identified that there was 2042 01:43:32,732 --> 01:43:34,732 insufficient testing to 2043 01:43:34,904 --> 01:43:35,671 determine whether the mine 2044 01:43:35,671 --> 01:43:38,909 waste would be group c suitable 2045 01:43:38,909 --> 01:43:39,441 for offsite sales for the water 2046 01:43:39,441 --> 01:43:41,441 board comments quote 2047 01:43:42,778 --> 01:43:43,378 the alternatives narrow that 2048 01:43:43,378 --> 01:43:46,378 the mining waste is not 2049 01:43:46,515 --> 01:43:47,182 suitable for off site use 2050 01:43:47,182 --> 01:43:47,813 should be examined unquote. 2051 01:43:47,813 --> 01:43:50,985 The water board goes on to 2052 01:43:50,985 --> 01:43:51,650 state that rice should assess 2053 01:43:51,650 --> 01:43:54,500 any constraints o challenges 2054 01:43:54,853 --> 01:43:55,556 associated with waste disposal 2055 01:43:55,556 --> 01:43:57,759 in case they can't do offsite 2056 01:43:57,759 --> 01:43:58,159 sales for construction 2057 01:43:58,159 --> 01:43:58,760 aggregate. 2058 01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:01,160 They conclude with quote 2059 01:44:01,796 --> 01:44:02,527 the draft year should be 2060 01:44:02,527 --> 01:44:05,527 revised to address this comment 2061 01:44:05,633 --> 01:44:06,467 unquote. 2062 01:44:06,467 --> 01:44:09,467 Rice gold acquired a collection 2063 01:44:09,903 --> 01:44:10,604 of drill cores and samples from 2064 01:44:10,604 --> 01:44:10,968 gold mine when they purchased 2065 01:44:10,968 --> 01:44:12,968 the mine. 2066 01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:14,341 In addition they did over sixty 2067 01:44:14,341 --> 01:44:16,676 seven thousand linear feet of 2068 01:44:16,676 --> 01:44:17,510 exploratory drilling. 2069

01:44:22,148 --> 01:44:24,951 twenty five million tonnes of 2073 01:44:24,951 --> 01:44:25,585 waste rock that will be 2074 01:44:25,585 --> 01:44:28,585 produced over the life of 2075 01:44:28,988 --> 01:44:29,755 the mine disposal of mine. 2076 01:44:29,755 --> 01:44:30,456 Waste is a critical element of 2077 01:44:30,456 --> 01:44:32,992 the project with the potential 2078 01:44:32,992 --> 01:44:33,425 for causing significant long 2079 01:44:33,425 --> 01:44:34,590 term impacts. 2080 01:44:34,590 --> 01:44:37,590 Yet no further testing was 2081 01:44:37,162 --> 01:44:40,162 produced for the final item. 2082 01:44:40,666 --> 01:44:41,400 This is inexplicable. 2083 01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:43,835 Sequoyah requires that the irr 2084 01:44:43,835 --> 01:44:44,436 quote give the public and

comments are a continuation 2102 01:45:15,365 --> 01:45:16,660 of ralph's comments. 2103 01:45:16,660 --> 01:45:19,102 You are being asked to approve 2104 01:45:19,102 --> 01:45:22,102 a project without knowing if 2105 01:45:22,872 --> 01:45:23,573 any of the mine waste qualifies 2106 01:45:23,573 --> 01:45:27,700 as group c currently there is 2107 01:45:27,700 --> 01:45:27,678 no realistic plan for continued 2108 01:45:27,678 --> 01:45:30,678 mine operations if you can't 2109 01:45:30,946 --> 01:45:31,614 sell the mine waste. 2110 01:45:31,614 --> 01:45:34,614 The final irr response uses 2111 01:45:34,817 --> 01:45:35,517 speculative unproven 2112 01:45:35,517 --> 01:45:38,387 assumptions that the mine rock 2113 01:45:38,387 --> 01:45:39,121 quote would not be mine until 2114 01:45:39,121 --> 01:45:41,521 mine waste characterization has 2115 01:45:42,321 --> 01:45:43,240 been performed to ensure 2116 01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,294 the rock will be suitable for 2117 01:45:46,294 --> 01:45:46,995 off site sell rock types that 2118 01:45:46,995 --> 01:45:50,310 are not suitable for off site 2119 01:45:50,310 --> 01:45:50,698 sale would likely not be mined 2120 01:45:50,698 --> 01:45:53,965 and if mined the waste rock 2121 01:45:53,965 --> 01:45:56,965 would be placed underground and 2122 01:45:57,905 --> 01:45:58,639 coal mine waste classified as 2123 01:45:58,639 --> 01:46:01,205 group and b require specific 2124 01:46:01,205 --> 01:46:01,909 management that must be 2125 01:46:01,909 --> 01:46:04,909 determined by the water board 2126 01:46:04,945 --> 01:46:05,643 and cannot automatically be 2127 01:46:05,643 --> 01:46:07,643 placed underground backfilling 2128 01:46:10,183 --> 01:46:10,881 with waste rock and tailings is 2129 01:46:10,881 --> 01:46:13,153 the exact scenario that led to 2130 01:46:13,153 --> 01:46:15,153 polluted groundwater discharges 2131 01:46:16,989 --> 01:46:17,757 in so many mines in our area. 2132 01:46:17,757 --> 01:46:20,757 This new element placement of 2133 01:46:20,924 --> 01:46:21,660 group a or b mine waste 2134 01:46:21,660 --> 01:46:24,660 underground was not included in 2135 01:46:25,130 --> 01:46:28,730 the draft eia even disposal of 2136 01:46:29,340 --> 01:46:29,701 mine waste on the project site 2137 01:46:29,701 --> 01:46:32,101 for engineered fill requires 2138 01:46:32,971 --> 01:46:33,672 testing and will have to meet 2139 01:46:33,672 --> 01:46:35,672 waterboards approval ordering 2140 01:46:37,239 --> 01:46:37,909 the final eia are the barren 2141 01:46:37,909 --> 01:46:40,909 rock and sand tailings would 2142 01:46:41,346 --> 01:46:41,980 undergo testing as part of 2143 01:46:41,980 --> 01:46:42,580 obtaining water discharge 2144 01:46:42,580 --> 01:46:44,980 requirements for use in 2145 01:46:45,249 --> 01:46:48,249 the engineered fill pads and 2146 01:46:49,530 --> 01:46:49,687 compliance with water quality 2147 01:46:49,687 --> 01:46:50,421 objectives will need to be 2148 01:46:50,421 --> 01:46:53,190 demonstrated to the water board 2149 01:46:53,190 --> 01:46:53,891 prior to that placement 2150 01:46:53,891 --> 01:46:56,291 the project description fails 2151 01:46:57,345 --> 01:46:58,280 to provide an adequate means of 2152 01:46:58,280 --> 01:47:01,280 interim storage for mine waste 2153 01:47:01,298 --> 01:47:01,932 the viability of the entire 2154 01:47:01,932 --> 01:47:04,332 project is dependent upon 2155 01:47:05,101 --> 01:47:05,735 the safe disposal of mine waste 2156 01:47:05,735 --> 01:47:08,735 under group c there were 2157 01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:09,706 numerous core samples available 2158 01:47:09,706 --> 01:47:10,373 that could have undergone 2159 01:47:10,373 --> 01:47:13,109 static and long term dynamic 2160 01:47:13,109 --> 01:47:13,910 testing. 2161 01:47:13,910 --> 01:47:16,910 Yet subsequent to the release 2162 01:47:17,346 --> 01:47:17,947 of the draft year no additional 2163 01:47:17,947 --> 01:47:20,947 testing was done even if 2164 01:47:21,517 --> 01:47:22,251 the mine waste is all class c, 2165 01:47:22,251 --> 01:47:25,318 it's hard to believe there will 2166 01:47:25,318 --> 01:47:25,988 be no need to stockpile any of 2167 01:47:25,988 --> 01:47:29,588 it for shipping off site one 2168 01:47:29,658 --> 01:47:30,292 thousand tons a day will be 2169 01:47:30,292 --> 01:47:33,292 coming out of the shaft. 2170 01:47:33,461 --> 01:47:34,620 That's fifty truckloads a day 2171 01:47:34,620 --> 01:47:36,620 instruction aggregate is 2172 01:47:37,165 --> 01:47:37,996 seasonal. 2173 01:47:37,996 --> 01:47:40,435 Most construction shuts down in 2174 01:47:40,435 --> 01:47:41,102 the winter neither the draft or 2175 01:47:41,102 --> 01:47:44,102 final irr includes

01:56:09,444 . 2440 01:56:09,444 --> 01:56:11,715 So these things haven't been 2441 01:56:11,715 --> 01:56:12,830 taken into consideration in 2442 01:56:12,830 --> 01:56:12,783 the area. 2443 01:56:12,783 --> 01:56:13,584 They just said we're going to 2444 01:56:13,584 --> 01:56:15,953 do water, we're going to put it 2445 01:56:15,953 --> 01:56:16,653 down this drainage but no one 2446 01:56:16,653 --> 01:56:19,487 even walks the drainage to see 2447 01:56:19,487 --> 01:56:20,288 if it's even capable handling 2448 01:56:20,288 --> 01:56:23,427 what they want to do with it 2449 01:56:23,427 --> 01:56:24,125 because it isn't it's failing 2450 01:56:24,125 --> 01:56:27,497 right now I have to report to 2451 01:56:27,497 --> 01:56:28,198 caltrans that their little 2452 01:56:28,198 --> 01:56:28,832 section there by grass valley 2453 01:56:28,832 --> 01:56:30,834 charter school is failing 2454 01:56:30,834 --> 01:56:31,501 the rock wall is undermined 2455 01:56:31,501 --> 01:56:35,101 about three feet back in now 2456 01:56:36,390 --> 01:56:36,739 because of lack of maintenance 2457 01:56:36,739 --> 01:56:39,508 to that section that is there 2458 01:56:39,508 --> 01:56:40,176 under their control right. 2459 01:56:40,176 --> 01:56:42,176 Everybody goes restaurant. 2460 01:56:42,812 --> 01:56:43,547 So those are some concerning 2461 01:56:43,547 --> 01:56:44,244 things that they have needed to 2462 01:56:44,244 --> 01:56:47,150 be dealt with for a long time 2463 01:56:47,150 --> 01:56:47,616 even or even without rice gold 2464 01:56:47,616 --> 01:56:50,160 just maintenance to our 2465 01:56:50,652 --> 01:56:51,353 waterways and not just ignoring 2466 01:56:51,353 --> 01:56:52,540 them and pretending that their 2467 01:56:52,540 --> 01:56:54,923 sewer troughs that we can just 2468 01:56:54,923 --> 01:56:55,623 send matt and waste product 2469 01:56:55,623 --> 01:56:58,860 down because we live on top of 2470 01:56:58,860 --> 01:56:59,525 a superfund site. 2471 01:56:59,525 --> 01:57:02,797 So all this fines that are 2472 01:57:02,797 --> 01:57:03,498 running down the creeks you can 2473 01:57:03,498 --> 01:57:06,498 see the mercury pockets right 2474 01:57:06,634 --> 01:57:07,334 now if you go out walk around 2475 01:57:07,334 --> 01:57:07,966 because it's stripped off all 2476 01:57:07,966 --> 01:57:10,966 of the topsoil, the recent 2477 01:57:10,971 --> 01:57:14,571 rains so we really need to 2478 01:57:14,641 --> 01:57:15,342 consider where we live or we do 2479 01:57:15,342 --> 01:57:15,943 these projects like amirica. 2480 01:57:15,943 --> 01:57:18,111 All that material is now 2481 01:57:18,111 --> 01:57:18,643 involved breaking down into 2482 01:57:18,643 --> 01:57:19,346 bear river and into 2483 01:57:19,346 --> 01:57:21,981 the reservoirs that we need to 2484 01:57:21,981 --> 01:57:22,582 make more reservoirs because 2485 01:57:22,582 --> 01:57:25,582 they fill up with silt. 2486 01:57:26,190 --> 01:57:29,619 I wonder why because of these 2487 01:57:29,756 --> 01:57:30,423 inadequacies in our system that 2488 01:57:30,423 --> 01:57:31,157 is up to our board of 2489

council on 2700 02:04:33,207 --> 02:04:33,877 their ability to support our 2701 02:04:33,877 --> 02:04:35,843 constituents in the eastern 2702 02:04:35,843 --> 02:04:36,780 county. 2703 02:04:36,780 --> 02:04:40,316 I know that the city council 2704 02:04:40,316 --> 02:04:43,316 handles a multitude of program 2705 02:04:44,530 --> 02:04:44,754 and project level elements for 2706 02:04:44,754 --> 02:04:48,157 the county and for a number of 2707 02:04:48,157 --> 02:04:48,722 our stakeholders and partners 2708 02:04:48,722 --> 02:04:50,960 both the truckee fire 2709 02:04:50,960 --> 02:04:51,627

the west county. 2713 02:04:55,898 --> 02:04:56,632 But I just wanted to do some 2714 02:04:56,632 --> 02:04:57,332 simple math here and bring to 2715 02:04:57,332 --> 02:04:59,365 the attention of my colleagues 2716 02:04:59,365 --> 02:05:00,680 that we have had repeated 2717 02:05:00,680 --> 02:05:02,468 conversations with the nevada 2718 02:05:02,971 --> 02:05:03,672 county fire chief council in 2719 02:05:03,672 --> 02:05:06,720 requesting some direct support 2720 02:05:06,274 --> 02:05:09,874 in eastern county off the hills 2721 02:05:09,977 --> 02:05:10,678 and measure v I thought it was 2722 02:05:10,678 --> 02:05:11,412 important for me to bring this 2723 02:05:11,412 --> 02:05:14,246 up and highlight it and talk a 2724 02:05:14,246 --> 02:05:14,882 little bit about the fact that 2725 02:05:14,882 --> 02:05:17,985 we are looking to get some 2726 02:05:17,985 --> 02:05:18,719 additional resources support 2727 02:05:18,719 --> 02:05:19,420 fire safe council contributions 2728 02:05:19,420 --> 02:05:22,189 or alternatives to the nevada 2729 02:05:22,189 --> 02:05:22,656 county fire council up in 2730 02:05:22,656 --> 02:05:24,656 eastern county. 2731 02:05:26,393 --> 02:05:29,930 And so when I asked craig some 2732 02:05:29,930 --> 02:05:30,630 questions about this item my 2733 02:05:30,630 --> 02:05:33,300 questions are really centered 2734 02:05:33,964 --> 02:05:34,565 on understanding the amount of 2735 02:05:34,565 --> 02:05:35,268 effort that's gone into 2736 02:05:35,268 --> 02:05:37,668 supporting our constituents in 2737 02:05:38,201 --> 02:05:38,771 eastern county from our city 2738 02:05:38,771 --> 02:05:40,771 council perspective. 2739 02:05:41,730 --> 02:05:42,380 And so just roughly speaking in 2740 02:05:42,380 --> 02:05:42,708 rough math we have the item in 2741 02:05:42,708 --> 02:05:45,411 front of us is three hundred 2742 02:05:45,411 --> 02:05:46,111 and forty thousand and we have 2743 02:05:46,111 --> 02:05:49,111 the additional money coming in 2744 02:05:49,479 --> 02:05:50,480 which I do support. 2745 02:05:50,480 --> 02:05:53,584 But when we look at it in phase 2746 02:05:53,584 --> 02:05:57,319 one we had one out of forty 2747 02:05:57,319 --> 02:05:57,888 five properties was located in 2748 02:05:57,888 --> 02:06:00,288 the eastern portion of 2749 02:06:01,358 --> 02:06:04,610 the county that one property 2750 02:06:04,610 --> 02:06:04,759 has yet to be completed to date 2751 02:06:04,759 --> 02:06:08,131 craig has let me know that he 2752 02:06:08,131 --> 02:06:08,796 thinks that that will be 2753 02:06:08,796 --> 02:06:09,397 completed this year and for 2754 02:06:09,397 --> 02:06:12,680 that I'm very happy and 2755 02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:12,502 grateful that that one property 2756 02:06:12,502 --> 02:06:13,169 will be done. 2757 02:06:13,169 --> 02:06:13,870 But one out of forty five 2758 02:06:13,870 --> 02:06:16,406 properties in phase one phase 2759 02:06:16,406 --> 02:06:17,730 two there's been five 2760 02:06:17,730 --> 02:06:19,473 properties identified out of 2761 02:06:19,475 --> 02:06:20,900 three hundred zero completed 2762 02:06:20,900 --> 02:06:22,900 for eastern county. 2763 02:06:23,379 --> 02:06:24,770 So out of the three hundred and 2764 02:06:24,770 --> 02:06:24,713 forty thousand expenditures if 2765 02:06:24,713 --> 02:06:27,449 you did the simple math it 2766 02:06:27,449 --> 02:06:28,150 would about sixty eight 2767 02:06:28,150 --> 02:06:31,150 thousand dollars which I'm not 2768 02:06:31,553 --> 02:06:32,287 asking for a one one or an 2769 02:06:32,287 --> 02:06:32,854 apples to apples comparison but 2770 02:06:32,854 --> 02:06:35,624 I do want to just draw 2771 02:06:35,624 --> 02:06:36,355 attention to the fact that if 2772 02:06:36,355 --> 02:06:39,194 it is the nevada county fire 2773 02:06:39,194 --> 02:06:39,794 chief counsel we need to start 2774 02:06:39,794 --> 02:06:40,395 taking action that would 2775

02:14:34,407 advocacy that helps ensure 3078 02:14:34,407 --> 02:14:36,807 the sustainability of resources 3079 02:14:37,744 --> 02:14:38,344 for the delivery of core public 3080 02:14:38,344 -->

The intent of the legislative 3084 02:14:45,248 --> 02:14:45,818 platform is to be 3085 02:14:45,818 --> 02:14:47,818 noncontroversial from 3086 02:14:48,587 --> 02:14:49,388 the county's perspective so in 3087 02:14:49,388 --> 02:14:50,220 a way you could think of almaz 3088 02:14:50,220 --> 02:14:52,889 as a consent agenda for a 3089 02:14:52,889 --> 02:14:53,559 legislative positions that we 3090 02:14:53,559 --> 02:14:56,559 use throughout the year and 3091 02:14:56,695 --> 02:14:57,326 I'll talk a little bit more 3092 02:14:57,326 --> 02:15:00,326 about that use this helps 3093 02:15:00,832 --> 02:15:01,530 orient our lawmakers on key 3094 02:15:01,530 --> 02:15:04,530 positions that are critical to 3095 02:15:04,767 --> 02:15:05,367 the community and the county 3096 02:15:05,367 --> 02:15:08,367 and also helps enable a 3097 02:15:08,706 --> 02:15:09,374 proactive approach to advocacy 3098 02:15:09,374 --> 02:15:12,644 for not only you when you're 3099 02:15:12,644 --> 02:15:13,377 working with your colleagues 3100 02:15:13,377 --> 02:15:14,780 whether at the state or federal 3101 02:15:14,780 --> 02:15:16,130 and local levels but also for 3102 02:15:16,130 --> 02:15:16,680 our legislative advocates as 3103 02:15:16,680 --> 02:15:19,680 well as for our association 3104 02:15:20,150 --> 02:15:20,818 members to understand what our 3105 02:15:20,818 --> 02:15:23,818 priorities are and of course 3106 02:15:23,885 --> 02:15:24,555 enables the chair to respond to 3107 02:15:24,555 --> 02:15:26,887 urgent calls of action that 3108 02:15:26,887 --> 02:15:27,758 happened throughout the year. 3109 02:15:27,758 --> 02:15:31,895 This kind of gets me to a do 3110 02:15:31,895 --> 02:15:32,495 what I want to talk about how 3111 02:15:32,495 --> 02:15:34,964 again how we use this. 3112 02:15:34,964 --> 02:15:35,665 And so te above chart outlines 3113 02:15:35,665 --> 02:15:38,665 the decision making process by 3114 02:15:38,868 --> 02:15:39,602 which we use the legislative 3115 02:15:39,602 --> 02:15:42,738 platform when there's a call to 3116 02:15:42,738 --> 02:15:43,603 action throughout the year. 3117 02:15:43,603 --> 02:15:46,603 >> so for example, let's say 3118 02:15:46,976 --> 02:15:47,576 there's a call to action on an 3119 02:15:47,576 --> 02:15:49,976 urgent bill that's being 3120 02:15:50,790 --> 02:15:50,579 presidentially proposed at 3121 02:15:50,579 --> 02:15:51,313 the state level. 3122 02:15:51,313 --> 02:15:53,780 We would then look at that call 3123 02:15:53,780 --> 02:15:54,445 to action whether it's a to 3124 02:15:54,445 --> 02:15:58,450 support or to oppose or to 3125 02:15:58,151 --> 02:15:58,882 provide input we would think 3126 02:15:58,882 --> 02:16:01,882 through is this included within 3127 02:16:01,887 --> 02:16:02,588 the legislative platform 3128 02:16:02,588 --> 02:16:05,588 meaning has the board already 3129 02:16:06,240 --> 02:16:06,458 articulated its position on a 3130 02:16:06,458 --> 02:16:07,580 given issue? 3131 02:16:07,580 --> 02:16:09,894 We then let's see if 3132 02:16:09,894 --> 02:16:10,595 the legislative platform 3133 02:16:10,595 --> 02:16:13,131 identifies a position then we 3134 02:16:13,131 --> 02:16:13,831 would then provide a 3135 02:16:13,831 --> 02:16:16,231 recommendation to your county 3136 02:16:17,680 --> 02:16:17,568 executive officer who then make 3137 02:16:17,568 --> 02:16:18,235 a determination. 3138 02:16:18,235 --> 02:16:20,802 It's important to know just 3139 02:16:20,802 --> 02:16:21,538 because that there's position 3140 02:16:21,538 --> 02:16:23,938 within the legislative platform 3141 02:16:24,975 --> 02:16:25,640 if the ceo and staff determine 3142 02:16:25,640 --> 02:16:28,640 that it could be potentially 3143 02:16:28,945 --> 02:16:29,546 controversial we will still 3144 02:16:29,546 --> 02:16:30,478 bring it to your board. 3145 02:16:30,478 --> 02:16:33,490 >> we will not just make action 3146 02:16:33,490 --> 02:16:33,783 if we believe it could have 3147 02:16:33,783 --> 02:16:35,783 controversial ramifications for 3148 02:16:36,116 --> 02:16:39,716 the board and it warrants board 3149 02:16:40,289 --> 02:16:40,890 discussion and event and then 3150 02:16:40,890 --> 02:16:41,624 we will follow up with 3151 02:16:41,624 --> 02:16:44,226 the chair and then provide that 3152 02:16:44,226 --> 02:16:44,894 recommendation the chair and 3153 02:16:44,894 --> 02:16:46,960 then follow up with whatever 3154 02:16:46,960 --> 02:16:47,761 that action is generally would 3155 02:16:47,761 --> 02:16:51,433 be a letter a letter to a 3156 02:16:51,433 --> 02:16:52,134 lawmaker if you will at any 3157 02:16:52,134 --> 02:16:55,671 point if we determine the need 3158 02:16:55,671 --> 02:16:59,141 we will then bring and we don't 3159 02:16:59,141 --> 02:16:59,808 believe that there is one for 3160 02:16:59,808 --> 02:17:01,977 us to move forward and that 3161 02:17:01,977 --> 02:17:02,777 there is a need for discussion 3162 02:17:02,777 --> 02:17:06,377 be bring it to your board. 3163 02:17:07,215 --> 02:17:07,815 But you can imagine that during 3164 02:17:07,815 --> 02:17:09,815 the legislative process 3165 02:17:11,152 --> 02:17:11,786 sometimes especially towards 3166 02:17:11,786 --> 02:17:12,486 the end of the legislative 3167 02:17:12,486 --> 02:17:14,655 season, actions are happening 3168 02:17:14,655 --> 02:17:17,550 very quickly sometimes within, 3169 02:17:18,156 --> 02:17:18,625 you know, a two hour probably a 3170 02:17:18,625 --> 02:17:19,226 two day period. 3171 02:17:19,226 --> 02:17:20,158 We need to make action. 3172 02:17:20,158 --> 02:17:22,496 So this is where this platform 3173 02:17:22,496 --> 02:17:23,230 is extremely helpful because in 3174 02:17:23,230 --> 02:17:26,133 some cases we MAY not be able 3175 02:17:26,133 --> 02:17:26,733 to put our board special 3176 02:17:26,733 --> 02:17:29,133 meeting for an item. 3177 02:17:30,370 --> 02:17:31,400 >> of course as the development 3178 02:17:31,400 --> 02:17:34,307 of this platform we take a 3179 02:17:34,307 --> 02:17:34,908 close look at your board 3180 02:17:34,908 --> 02:17:35,472 priority objectives as a 3181 02:17:35,472 --> 02:17:37,472 reminder this platform 3182 02:17:38,411 --> 02:17:39,145 currently includes your twenty 3183 02:17:39,145 --> 02:17:42,145 twenty two board objectives and 3184 02:17:42,448 --> 02:17:43,182 we would be looking to update 3185 02:17:43,182 --> 02:17:46,182 this following your workshop in 3186 02:17:46,352 --> 02:17:47,860 the coming months as you look 3187 02:17:47,860 --> 02:17:49,223 at potentially new objectives, 3188 02:17:49,223 --> 02:17:50,220 I've got to pass it over to 3189 02:17:50,220 --> 02:17:53,155 ariel to kind of talk a little 3190 02:17:53,155 --> 02:17:53,592 about the development process. 3191 02:17:53,592 --> 02:17:54,259 Thanks jeff. 3192 02:17:54,259 --> 02:17:57,259 So this slide provides an 3193 02:17:57,393 --> 02:17:58,960 overview of the process by 3194 02:17:58,960 --> 02:17:58,794 which the legislative platform 3195 02:17:58,794 --> 02:18:01,533 is developed each year as well 3196 02:18:01,533 --> 02:18:02,660 as how it aligns with 3197 02:18:02,660 --> 02:18:02,767 the budget process. 3198 02:18:02,767 --> 02:18:05,469 And I'd like to highlight two 3199 02:18:05,469 --> 02:18:06,137 specific elements that have 3200 02:18:06,137 --> 02:18:06,737 been enhanced this year for 3201 02:18:06,737 --> 02:18:09,137 your twenty

was 3205 02:18:13,577 --> 02:18:14,311 developed in the first quarter 3206 02:18:14,311 --> 02:18:17,111 of the year and brought to your 3207 02:18:17,111 --> 02:18:17,712 board in MARCH or APRIL.

02:18:22,686 developed in late twenty twenty 3212 02:18:22,686 --> 02:18:24,721 two bringing to you for 3213 02:18:24,721 --> 02:18:25,422 approval now in jauary to 3214 02:18:25,422 --> 02:18:27,822

02:20:22,310 --> 02:20:22,732 the timing wanted to kind of 3292 02:20:22,732 --> 02:20:25,732 align this timeline with their 3293 02:20:25,866 --> 02:20:26,502 timing and actually right 3294 02:20:26,502 --> 02:20:29,380 before coming down here to 3295 02:20:29,380 --> 02:20:29,739 present to you the governor is 3296 02:20:29,739 --> 02:20:32,139 actually presenting his budget 3297

02:20:38,460 --> 02:20:41,460 today that helps position us 3301 02:20:41,490 --> 02:20:41,783 from the get go as we move 3302 02:20:41,783 --> 02:20:42,170 forward into the budget process 3303 02:20:42,170 --> 02:20:44,170 . 3304 02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:45,654 That being said, I'm not going 3305 02:20:45,654 --> 02:20:48,654 to go into every specific 3306 02:20:48,756 --> 02:20:49,357 policy here but I do want to 3307 02:20:49,357 --> 02:20:49,991 provide an orientation. 3308 02:20:49,991 --> 02:20:52,391 There is five overarching 3309 02:20:52,894 --> 02:20:53,661 policy areas. 3310 02:20:53,661 --> 02:20:56,661 These are the administration of 3311 02:20:56,731 --> 02:20:57,331 justice policy area agriculture 3312 02:20:57,331 --> 02:20:58,320 ,environmental, natural 3313 02:20:58,320 --> 02:21:00,320 resources, government finance 3314 02:21:01,100 --> 02:21:01,735 and administration health and 3315 02:21:01,735 --> 02:21:04,735 human services housing and land 3316 02:21:05,703 --> 02:21:06,304 use and transportation is 3317 02:21:06,304 --> 02:21:08,704 actually mimic the state 3318 02:21:08,775 --> 02:21:09,576 associations policy. 3319 02:21:09,576 --> 02:21:10,210 We felt that that's a good 3320 02:21:10,210 --> 02:21:12,610 alignment that your board 3321 02:21:12,913 --> 02:21:13,613 actually adopted previous 3322 02:21:13,613 --> 02:21:14,314 legislative platforms and you 3323 02:21:14,314 --> 02:21:17,914 could see the number of issues 3324 02:21:17,951 --> 02:21:18,351 we have for 107 three policy 3325 02:21:18,351 --> 02:21:20,351 positions. 3326 02:21:21,785 --> 02:21:22,388 I will also just make a couple 3327 02:21:22,388 --> 02:21:23,122 notes that you'll see in 3328 02:21:23,122 --> 02:21:25,925 changes in this platform versus 3329 02:21:25,925 --> 02:21:28,925 last year notably we have 3330 02:21:29,659 --> 02:21:30,362 included an update regarding 3331 02:21:30,362 --> 02:21:33,362 the 2020 census and so changes 3332 02:21:33,732 --> 02:21:34,464 in terms of your state and 3333 02:21:34,464 --> 02:21:36,864 federal delegates we've updated 3334 02:21:36,899 --> 02:21:37,536 to include state senator maria 3335 02:21:37,536 --> 02:21:40,536 alvarez to kill for senate 3336 02:21:41,390 --> 02:21:41,606 district four who now 3337 02:21:41,606 --> 02:21:44,600 represents the sum of 3338 02:21:45,770 --> 02:21:45,643 the truckee area along with 3339 02:21:45,643 --> 02:21:47,643 senator brian dalli. 3340 02:21:48,913 --> 02:21:49,614 And then we've also included 3341 02:21:49,614 --> 02:21:52,140 update with senator portman, 3342 02:21:53,500 --> 02:21:53,782 congressman kevin kiley from 3343 02:21:53,782 --> 02:21:56,782 california 3rd district who now 3344 02:21:56,921 --> 02:21:57,654 represents our area in 3345 02:21:57,654 --> 02:22:00,654 the house of representatives no 3346 02:22:00,857 --> 02:22:01,592 longer being represented by 3347 02:22:01,592 --> 02:22:01,959 congressman mcclintock or lamar 3348 02:22:01,959 --> 02:22:02,559 morphet. 3349 02:22:02,559 --> 02:22:05,295 >> so those are some key 3350 02:22:05,295 --> 02:22:05,660 changes you will see in that 3351 02:22:05,660 --> 02:22:06,396 platform. 3352 02:22:06,396 --> 02:22:09,650 For example, we do not have 3353 02:22:09,650 --> 02:22:09,733 included all the updated 3354 02:22:09,733 --> 02:22:12,133

speak as 3358 02:22:17,840 --> 02:22:21,110 the house has just elected its 3359 02:22:21,110 --> 02:22:21,811 own elected leadership. 3360 02:22:21,811 --> 02:22:22,211 So that's kind of delayed 3361 02:22:22,211 --> 02:22:24,211 component. 3362 02:22:24,246 --> 02:22:24,947 So we will be working to get 3363 02:22:24,947 --> 02:22:28,450 that updated and then last but 3364 02:22:28,450 --> 02:22:29,117 not least, I also want to 3365 02:22:29,117 --> 02:22:31,517 articulate your own contacts 3366 02:22:31,920 --> 02:22:32,618 are included in there for state 3367 02:22:32,618 --> 02:22:35,900 and federal delegates as well 3368 02:22:35,900 --> 02:22:35,590 as contacts for our association 3369 02:22:35,590 --> 02:22:37,590 representatives. 3370 02:22:39,580 --> 02:22:39,364 >> the county executive office 3371 02:22:39,364 --> 02:22:41,364 . 3372 02:22:43,197 --> 02:22:43,931 And I will also note that 3373 02:22:43,931 --> 02:22:47,340 the county is also members that 3374 02:22:47,340 --> 02:22:47,699 has maintained membership 3375 02:22:47,699 --> 02:22:48,336 through his department heads 3376 02:22:48,336 --> 02:22:50,736 for various other specific 3377 02:22:51,710 --> 02:22:51,736 association. 3378 02:22:51,736 --> 02:22:52,640 Those are not included. 3379 02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:55,309 But I just want to highlight 3380 02:22:55,309 --> 02:22:57,709 that because your department 3381 02:22:59,460 --> 02:22:59,880 heads and senior executives do 3382 02:22:59,880 --> 02:23:03,214 are very active as well as your 3383 02:23:03,214 --> 02:23:04,117 other elected officials. 3384 02:23:04,117 --> 02:23:04,451 >> so I'll kick it back over 3385 02:23:04,451 --> 02:23:06,451 there. 3386 02:23:07,530 --> 02:23:07,687 Ok, well thanks jeff. 3387 02:23:07,687 --> 02:23:08,455 We'll wrap it up. 3388 02:23:08,455 --> 02:23:09,122 So last year we introduced 3389 02:23:09,122 --> 02:23:10,523 the executive summary of key 3390 02:23:10,523 --> 02:23:11,224

can see this can be a 3394 02:23:15,692 --> 02:23:18,197 useful tool for staff advocates 3395 02:23:18,197 --> 02:23:18,895 and board members to reference 3396 02:23:18,895 --> 02:23:19,496 in policy

02:24:54,551 I thank you. 3456 02:24:55,654 --> 02:24:56,322 First I want to commend jeffrey 3457 02:24:56,322 --> 02:24:59,591 aryal and all the staff who 3458 02:24:59,591 --> 02:25:00,259 worked on this for your 3459 02:25:00,259 --> 02:25:02,259 extensive collaboration with 3460 02:25:03,428 --> 02:25:03,995 our other special districts 3461 02:25:03,995 --> 02:25:04,429 with all the different 3462 02:25:04,429 --> 02:25:05,970 departments. 3463 02:25:05,970 --> 02:25:07,999 It's really critical that we 3464 02:25:07,999 --> 02:25:08,800 represent the county as a whole 3465 02:25:08,800 --> 02:25:11,736 and so I think that's a great I 3466 02:25:11,736 --> 02:25:12,367 know you we did before but 3467 02:25:12,367 --> 02:25:14,767 you've really brought this 3468 02:25:14,806 --> 02:25:15,506 whole effort up a great level. 3469 02:25:15,506 --> 02:25:18,506 So appreciate that very much. 3470 02:25:18,843 --> 02:25:19,377 Also that you've changed 3471 02:25:19,377 --> 02:25:19,844 the organization of 3472 02:25:19,844 --> 02:25:20,511 the documents. 3473 02:25:20,511 --> 02:25:22,780 So it's clear that we have a 3474 02:25:22,780 --> 02:25:23,380 policy positions versus 3475 02:25:23,380 --> 02:25:23,781 projects and they're not 3476 02:25:23,781 --> 02:25:25,781 intermixed. 3477 02:25:26,817 --> 02:25:27,418 I think this document will be 3478 02:25:27,418 --> 02:25:29,818 useful for the public. 3479 02:25:30,554 --> 02:25:31,255 So I just want to highlight 3480 02:25:31,255 --> 02:25:31,755 the changes and what's what's 3481 02:25:31,755 --> 02:25:33,755 helpful about it. 3482 02:25:35,250 --> 02:25:35,723 I also just want to just 3483 02:25:35,723 --> 02:25:37,894 emphasize what you've already 3484 02:25:37,894 --> 02:25:38,495 said that this document is 3485 02:25:38,495 --> 02:25:41,495 intended to help us on 3486 02:25:41,631 --> 02:25:42,362 the policy side to move qickly 3487 02:25:42,362 --> 02:25:43,320 when something comes up so that 3488 02:25:43,320 --> 02:25:45,868 we don't have to wait for a 3489 02:25:45,868 --> 02:25:46,235 board meeting and discuss 3490 02:25:46,235 --> 02:25:46,902 the item. 3491 02:25:46,902 --> 02:25:49,872 These are items that we all 3492 02:25:49,872 --> 02:25:50,472 agree we want to support or 3493 02:25:50,472 --> 02:25:50,906 oppose depending on what 3494 02:25:50,906 --> 02:25:52,906 the issue is. 3495 02:25:52,975 --> 02:25:53,509 So that'll help provide a 3496 02:25:53,509 --> 02:25:55,509 speedier response. 3497 02:25:56,912 --> 02:25:58,336 However, it doesn't stop us 3498 02:25:58,336 --> 02:25:58,746 from bringing additional items 3499 02:25:58,746 --> 02:25:59,180 . 3500 02:25:59,180 --> 02:26:01,247 it just mens that those items 3501 02:26:01,247 --> 02:26:01,850 have to come to the board to 3502 02:26:01,850 --> 02:26:05,200 make sure that we are in 3503 02:26:05,200 --> 02:26:05,684 alignment that the majority of 3504 02:26:05,684 --> 02:26:09,230 the board is in agreement on 3505 02:26:09,230 --> 02:26:09,321 what whether what position we 3506 02:26:09,321 --> 02:26:09,922 take. 3507 02:26:09,922 --> 02:26:12,324 So I think that's really 3508 02:26:12,324 --> 02:26:12,993 important to note and then on 3509 02:26:12,993 --> 02:26:15,993 the projects list as well, 3510 02:26:16,263 --> 02:26:16,931 the project is a little bit 3511 02:26:16,931 --> 02:26:19,800 confusing I think it will be 3512 02:26:19,800 --> 02:26:20,534 for the public as well because 3513 02:26:20,534 --> 02:26:21,201 doesn't include things that are 3514 02:26:21,201 --> 02:26:23,601 already in process sometimes 3515 02:26:23,737 --> 02:26:26,137 things that we've already 3516 02:26:26,907 --> 02:26:27,707 applied grants for and correct 3517 02:26:27,707 --> 02:26:28,542 me if I'm wrong on any of this 3518 02:26:28,542 --> 02:26:31,410 or that maybe our partners like 3519 02:26:31,410 --> 02:26:31,745 the fire safe council MAY be 3520 02:26:31,745 --> 02:26:34,881 applying for grants MAY not be 3521 02:26:34,881 --> 02:26:35,114 reflected in ths project list 3522 02:26:35,114 --> 02:26:35,782 . 3523 02:26:35,782 --> 02:26:39,520 So I don't know if we can 3524 02:26:39,520 --> 02:26:39,752 figure out a way to in 3525 02:26:39,752 --> 02:26:43,289 the future to sort of clarify 3526 02:26:43,289 --> 02:26:44,156 that somehow because it is you 3527 02:26:44,156 --> 02:26:45,958 know, every time I look at it 3528 02:26:45,958 --> 02:26:46,322 what where's my dear creek 3529 02:26:46,322 --> 02:26:47,590 project? 3530 02:26:47,590 --> 02:26:49,995 Although it's somewhere it's on 3531 02:26:49,995 --> 02:26:50,829 a list it's on several lists 3532 02:26:50,829 --> 02:26:51,230 but it MAY not be reflected in 3533 02:26:51,230 --> 02:26:53,230 this list. 3534 02:26:53,932 --> 02:26:54,733 So I want to make that really 3535 02:26:54,733 --> 02:26:58,401 clear to the public and to us 3536 02:26:58,401 --> 02:26:59,137 here that, you know, we've 3537 02:26:59,137 --> 02:27:01,537 that's taken some conversations 3538 02:27:02,370 --> 02:27:02,774 to be clear on that. 3539 02:27:02,774 --> 02:27:03,274 But overall this is a really 3540 02:27:03,274 --> 02:27:05,274 excellent effort. 3541 02:27:06,770 --> 02:27:06,711 I know that other folks other 3542 02:27:06,711 --> 02:27:09,111 counties are interested in 3543 02:27:09,146 --> 02:27:09,614 seeing what we've done and how 3544 02:27:09,614 --> 02:27:10,348 we've done it. 3545 02:27:10,348 --> 02:27:13,810 So we're out in front of 3546 02:27:13,810 --> 02:27:13,818 the pack on this one again and 3547 02:27:13,818 --> 02:27:17,287 I don't have any questions just 3548 02:27:17,287 --> 02:27:18,220 just great big thank you for 3549

02:27:44,747 --> 02:27:47,747 and the amount of information 3563 02:27:48,517 --> 02:27:49,115 that goes into it. 3564 02:27:49,115 --> 02:27:49,785 It's quite impressive. 3565 02:27:49,785 --> 02:27:52,454 I'd also like to kind of 3566 02:27:52,454 --> 02:27:53,550 mention that if I remember 3567 02:27:53,550 --> 02:27:55,455 correctly we've kind of 3568 02:27:56,491 --> 02:27:57,225 integrated the cities and towns 3569 02:27:57,225 --> 02:28:00,280 over the course of the last few 3570 02:28:00,280 --> 02:28:00,661 years and married our 3571 02:28:00,661 --> 02:28:02,661

move in local 3575 02:28:08,633 --> 02:28:09,370 government together and it 3576 02:28:09,370 --> 02:28:11,605 doesn't mean that we're aligned 3577 02:28:11,605 --> 02:28:15,205 on every on every

02:28:24,150 information. 3585 02:28:24,150 --> 02:28:24,818 I think it's critical in 3586 02:28:24,818 --> 02:28:26,286 sharing in the in the heavy 3587 02:28:26,286 --> 02:28:27,153 lifting. 3588

opportunities and in our case 4176 02:46:13,388 --> 02:46:16,388 spend that directly on food 4177 02:46:16,591 --> 02:46:17,258 benefiting our community was a 4178 02:46:17,258 --> 02:46:20,258 huge, huge impact and it 4179 02:46:20,728 --> 02:46:21,429 multiplied a lot further than 4180 02:46:21,429 --> 02:46:24,429 just the twenty five thousand 4181 02:46:24,565 --> 02:46:25,266 that we received

was a huge 4185 02:46:29,360 --> 02:46:31,360 impact. 4186 02:46:32,540 --> 02:46:33,207 So just a few examples for you 4187 02:46:33,207 --> 02:46:33,607 here that that we saw coming 4188 02:46:33,607 --> 02:46:35,607 out of this. 4189 02:46:36,977 --> 02:46:39,579 >> we did half of the funds to 4190 02:46:39,579 --> 02:46:40,211 local sources and that includes 4191 02:46:40,211 --> 02:46:43,211 mainly farms but also some 4192 02:46:43,583 --> 02:46:44,217 other local food producers and 4193 02:46:44,217 --> 02:46:47,817 that of course has its own 4194 02:46:48,621 --> 02:46:49,355 economic multiplier effect and 4195 02:46:49,355 --> 02:46:51,755 economic development effect and 4196 02:46:51,889 --> 02:46:52,558 that's really important to us 4197 02:46:52,558 --> 02:46:56,126 because we know that some of 4198 02:46:56,126 --> 02:46:59,665 our farmers have to come to us 4199 02:46:59,665 --> 02:47:00,366 for assistance for food and 4200 02:47:00,366 --> 02:47:01,330 certain times of the year with 4201 02:47:01,330 --> 02:47:03,967 the seasonal nature of their 4202 02:47:03,967 --> 02:47:04,203 jobs and their revenue sources 4203 02:47:04,203 --> 02:47:04,803 . 4204 02:47:04,803 --> 02:47:07,803 And so it's just really 4205 02:47:07,940 --> 02:47:08,507 important for us to be able to 4206 02:47:08,507 --> 02:47:09,205 support them and then 4207 02:47:09,205 --> 02:47:11,605 the nonperishable foods that's 4208 02:47:11,876 --> 02:47:12,110 where we have our buying power 4209 02:47:12,110 --> 02:47:12,877 . 4210 02:47:12,877 --> 02:47:14,846 So us as an organization we can 4211 02:47:14,846 --> 02:47:15,580 leverage actually placer food 4212 02:47:15,580 --> 02:47:19,180 bank out of roseville which is 4213 02:47:19,684 --> 02:47:20,385 the feeding america food bank 4214 02:47:20,385 --> 02:47:20,849 over in nevada classer and el 4215 02:47:20,849 --> 02:47:22,849 dorado county. 4216 02:47:23,854 --> 02:47:24,555 So that's why we can leverage 4217 02:47:24,555 --> 02:47:26,888 them and so we can buy canned 4218 02:47:26,888 --> 02:47:27,825 good fruit or vegetable soup 4219 02:47:27,825 --> 02:47:31,862 for 20 cents when we buy it by 4220 02:47:31,862 --> 02:47:35,650 the pallet and and so and we 4221 02:47:35,650 --> 02:47:35,699 also leverage of course a lot 4222 02:47:35,699 --> 02:47:38,990 of local food donations. 4223 02:47:38,835 --> 02:47:39,536 The food bank of nevada county 4224 02:47:39,536 --> 02:47:40,203 we don't have to pay for 4225 02:47:40,203 --> 02:47:42,572 the food that they give us. 4226 02:47:42,572 --> 02:47:43,373 So that's great. 4227 02:47:43,373 --> 02:47:46,509 And then many of our local 4228 02:47:46,509 --> 02:47:49,509 farms and growers also donate 4229 02:47:50,644 --> 02:47:51,347 to us and so we need in our 4230 02:47:51,347 --> 02:47:52,450 community I think everyone is 4231 02:47:52,450 --> 02:47:54,160 quite aware over the last two 4232 02:47:54,160 --> 02:47:54,683 years has grown but we're 4233 02:47:54,683 --> 02:47:57,683 really on the front lines. 4234 02:47:57,953 --> 02:47:58,587 We're sort of a good litmus 4235 02:47:58,587 --> 02:48:00,987 test for what's happening 4236 02:48:01,590 --> 02:48:02,291 because in twenty twenty our 4237 02:48:02,291 --> 02:48:02,991 numbers shot straight up just 4238 02:48:02,991 --> 02:48:05,994 like we saw around the country 4239 02:48:05,994 --> 02:48:06,726 twenty twenty one it sort of 4240 02:48:06,726 --> 02:48:09,562 went down a little bit with a 4241 02:48:09,562 --> 02:48:10,265 lot of the extra benefits that 4242 02:48:10,265 --> 02:48:10,598 people were getting and and so 4243 02:48:10,598 --> 02:48:12,598 forth. 4244 02:48:14,102 --> 02:48:17,572 Twenty twenty two right back up 4245 02:48:17,572 --> 02:48:18,203 and it hasn't stopped the whole 4246 02:48:18,203 --> 02:48:20,603 year has been continually 4247 02:48:21,709 --> 02:48:22,440 increasing month after 4248 02:48:22,440

--> 02:48:29,817 without this type of funding. 4252 02:48:29,817 --> 02:48:32,853 We can't do that without our 4253 02:48:32,853 --> 02:48:35,253 amazing volunteers that this 4254 02:48:36,690 --> 02:48:37,521 community provides and and so 4255 02:48:37,521 --> 02:48:38,425 you know, it's just oh yeah. 4256 02:48:38,425 --> 02:48:40,994 >> one stat I wanted to give 4257 02:48:40,994 -->

5247 03:17:53,841 --> 03:17:54,409 take care of and support 5248 03:17:54,409 --> 03:17:56,809 the core services that 5249 03:17:56,911 --> 03:18:00,511 the county is trying to take 5250 03:18:00,848 --> 03:18:04,585 care of and I only have one 5251 03:18:04,585 --> 03:18:05,285 question and that is when will 5252 03:18:05,285 --> 03:18:08,885 the this this constant flow of 5253 03:18:11,825 --> 03:18:12,426 money stop and the reason why I 5254 03:18:12,426 --> 03:18:15,426 ask that is because it's 5255 03:18:15,962 --> 03:18:19,399 unnatural by the time my three 5256 03:18:19,399 --> 03:18:20,970 minutes is over thirty six 5257 03:18:20,970 --> 03:18:23,970 million dollars will be added 5258 03:18:23,533 --> 03:18:24,203 to the national deficit and as 5259 03:18:24,203 --> 03:18:26,706 we know this was a tax and 5260 03:18:26,706 --> 03:18:29,706 spend program under the covid 5261 03:18:30,709 --> 03:18:31,374 con job that was used as an 5262 03:18:31,374 --> 03:18:34,374 emergency to create a crisis 5263 03:18:34,847 --> 03:18:37,847 economic crisis in regard to 5264 03:18:39,615 --> 03:18:42,150 that inflation is often 5265 03:18:42,651 --> 03:18:43,388 the most important but at least 5266 03:18:43,388 --> 03:18:46,388 understood principle of our day 5267 03:18:47,910 --> 03:18:47,825 contrary to what we might be 5268 03:18:47,825 --> 03:18:50,595 led to believe by the news 5269 03:18:50,595 --> 03:18:50,962 media and some high economic 5270 03:18:50,962 --> 03:18:52,962 advisors. 5271 03:18:54,532 --> 03:18:55,199 Inflation is not a rise in 5272 03:18:55,199 --> 03:18:55,800 the general level of prices 5273 03:18:55,800 --> 03:18:58,800 often referred to as an 5274 03:18:59,103 --> 03:19:02,406 increase in the cost of living 5275 03:19:02,406 --> 03:19:03,400 inflation is simply an increase 5276 03:19:03,400 --> 03:19:03,840 in the supply of money. 5277 03:19:03,840 --> 03:19:06,943 This increase in the number of 5278 03:19:06,943 --> 03:19:07,678 dollars in relation to 5279 03:19:07,678 --> 03:19:10,680 the goods and services that are 5280 03:19:10,680 --> 03:19:11,181 put u for sale causes people 5281 03:19:11,181 --> 03:19:13,581 to bid up prices. 5282 03:19:14,651 --> 03:19:18,251 Thus a general rise in prices 5283 03:19:18,354 --> 03:19:19,122 is the effect of inflation more 5284 03:19:19,122 --> 03:19:22,122 dollars is the underlying cause 5285 03:19:24,691 --> 03:19:25,561 of the higher prices. 5286 03:19:25,561 --> 03:19:25,892 I could be looked at like I'm a 5287 03:19:25,892 --> 03:19:27,892 critic. 5288 03:19:28,897 --> 03:19:29,298 I simply care about our 5289 03:19:29,298 --> 03:19:29,965 community. 5290 03:19:29,965 --> 03:19:31,931 >> certainly the aging folks 5291 03:19:31,931 --> 03:19:32,634 who have saved their dollars. 5292 03:19:32,634 --> 03:19:35,340 >> now those dollars don't 5293 03:19:35,871 --> 03:19:38,271 compete with the inflated 5294 03:19:39,772 --> 03:19:40,241 dollars that were dumped into 5295 03:19:40,241 --> 03:19:42,241 our our county. 5296 03:19:43,511 --> 03:19:44,245 Even the extra 300 million 5297 03:19:44,245 --> 03:19:47,245 dollars that were separate from 5298 03:19:47,682 --> 03:19:48,416 this nine million dollars that 5299 03:19:48,416 --> 03:19:52,160 was added to support these core 5300 03:19:52,190 --> 03:19:52,686 services in our community. 5301 03:19:52,686 --> 03:19:54,853 So we're talking about that 5302 03:19:54,853 --> 03:19:55,589 three hundred million dollars 5303 03:19:55,589 --> 03:19:56,223 and then when that stopped from 5304 03:19:56,223 --> 03:19:58,623 the federal government and 5305 03:19:59,690 --> 03:20:00,360 the state government, next 5306 03:20:00,360 --> 03:20:02,996 thing you know we needed to 5307 03:20:02,996 --> 03:20:03,527 raise sales tax now this was a 5308 03:20:03,527 --> 03:20:05,527 statewide problem. 5309 03:20:07,000 --> 03:20:07,434 They did this in most of 5310 03:20:07,434 --> 03:20:08,234 the counties. 5311 03:20:08,234 --> 03:20:12,434 This is this is not just a 5312 03:20:14,707 --> 03:20:15,405 random act of inflation and so 5313 03:20:15,405 --> 03:20:18,644 there's also some ancient or I 5314 03:20:18,644 --> 03:20:19,278 consider it pretty old 5315 03:20:19,278 --> 03:20:22,278 statements by a guy named 5316 03:20:22,581 --> 03:20:23,315

you. 5363 03:21:46,627 --> 03:21:49,627 Chair schofield's I just want 5364 03:21:50,640 --> 03:21:50,464 to say, you know it the program 5365 03:21:50,464 --> 03:21:52,464 was nimble. 5366 03:21:54,100 --> 03:21:54,365 I think the money got out there 5367 03:21:54,365 --> 03:21:54,966 quickly. 5368 03:21:54,966 --> 03:21:57,366 I think it's incredibly 5369 03:21:58,380 --> 03:21:58,602 difficult to give money to 5370 03:21:58,602 --> 03:22:00,602 deserving agencies and 5371 03:22:18,921 --> 03:22:19,625 organizations and people in in 5372 03:22:19,625 --> 03:22:20,559 an equitable and timely way. 5373 03:22:20,559 --> 03:22:21,226 I think we did a great job that 5374 03:22:21,226 --> 03:22:21,958 I just want to commend staff 5375 03:22:21,958 --> 03:22:22,661 and the board for doing what I 5376 03:22:22,661 --> 03:22:23,359 feel like was the right thing 5377 03:22:23,359 --> 03:22:24,620 during that period when there 5378 03:22:24,620 --> 03:22:27,662 are funds and all the kahrizak 5379 03:22:28,255 --> 03:22:28,451 funding came down. 5380 03:22:28,451 --> 03:22:28,652 I think it was it was it was 5381 03:22:28,652 --> 03:22:28,862 difficult because we didn't 5382 03:22:28,862 --> 03:22:29,620 understand at that time exactly 5383 03:22:29,620 --> 03:22:29,256 the true cost of the covid 5384 03:22:29,256 --> 03:22:29,468 pandemic and what our staff 5385 03:22:29,468 --> 03:22:29,657 time in our our direct and 5386 03:22:29,657 --> 03:22:29,901 indirect cost would be. 5387 03:22:29,901 --> 03:22:30,568 So I think there was a little 5388 03:22:30,568 --> 03:22:31,269 bit of a risk but I think we 5389 03:22:31,269 --> 03:22:31,970 reached out and did the right 5390 03:22:31,970 --> 03:22:32,601 thing to support our community 5391 03:22:32,601 -->

03:32:03,239 --> 03:32:06,239 important that it be recognized 5584 03:32:06,642 --> 03:32:09,642 that the constituents your each 5585 03:32:10,379 --> 03:32:13,379 of your constituents voted for 5586 03:32:14,160 --> 03:32:14,750 somebody else under 5587 03:32:14,750 --> 03:32:15,217 the assumption that that person 5588 03:32:15,217 --> 03:32:15,682 was qualified. 5589 03:32:15,682 --> 03:32:17,682 >> fair enough. 5590 03:32:17,953 --> 03:32:18,885 Right. 5591 03:32:18,885 --> 03:32:23,850 So I would just put a caution 5592 03:32:39,340 --> 03:32:39,940 out there that it that it would 5593 03:32:39,940 --> 03:32:40,605 probably be in the best 5594 03:32:40,605 --> 03:32:41,308 interest to represent those 5595 03:32:41,308 --> 03:32:41,909 constituents not as overtaking 5596 03:32:41,909 --> 03:32:42,509 the election process by 5597 03:32:42,509 --> 03:32:43,277 extending this temporary 5598 03:32:43,277 --> 03:32:44,511 position to be out for years I 5599 03:32:44,511 --> 03:32:45,430 believe two years would be a 5600 03:32:45,430 --> 03:32:47,430 reasonable amount. 5601 03:32:48,246 --> 03:32:48,916 That's I'm just speaking from 5602 03:32:48,916 --> 03:32:51,916 my my perspective that there 5603 03:32:52,519 --> 03:32:55,388 will be an election a general 5604 03:32:55,388 --> 03:32:58,988 election in two years and if 5605 03:32:59,123 --> 03:32:59,826 the citizens get upset that 5606 03:32:59,826 --> 03:33:03,296 this was just as if you acted 5607 03:33:03,296 --> 03:33:03,629 like the body that elected this 5608 03:33:03,629 --> 03:33:04,297 person. 5609 03:33:04,297 --> 03:33:07,297 It's not it's not personal. 5610 03:33:07,733 --> 03:33:10,733 It's not a personal complaint 5611 03:33:11,136 --> 03:33:11,871 on my behalf at all. 5612 03:33:11,871 --> 03:33:14,203 It's just simply that what 5613 03:33:14,203 --> 03:33:14,906 would your constituents who 5614 03:33:14,906 --> 03:33:15,607 voted for somebody else under 5615 03:33:15,607 --> 03:33:18,607 the assumption that they were 5616 03:33:18,710 --> 03:33:21,710 that rob trebil was qualified, 5617 03:33:22,278 --> 03:33:25,517 what would they think if they 5618 03:33:25,517 --> 03:33:29,117 get upset that you chose to 5619 03:33:29,187 --> 03:33:29,821 kind of overtake two more years 5620 03:33:29,821 --> 03:33:32,221 of the election process? 5621 03:33:33,321 --> 03:33:36,921 So I just invite to consider 5622 03:33:37,194 --> 03:33:37,895 that a two year appointment is 5623 03:33:37,895 --> 03:33:40,295 probably more reasonable than 5624 03:33:41,532 --> 03:33:45,132 certainly a four year term just 5625 03:33:45,168 --> 03:33:45,736 for the fact that a regular 5626 03:33:45,736 --> 03:33:47,736 election will occur. 5627 03:33:48,538

03:49:29,989 --> 03:49:32,389 the chamber and commerce 6113 03:49:33,726 --> 03:49:34,424 association are quite vibrant 6114 03:49:34,424 --> 03:49:37,797 and really resilient, it is a 6115 03:49:37,797 --> 03:49:38,531 fragile balance in eastern 6116 03:49:38,531 --> 03:49:41,640 county trying to get the proper 6117 03:49:41,640 --> 03:49:41,634 economic growth support 6118 03:49:41,634 --> 03:49:44,340 the local character of 6119 03:49:45,400 --> 03:49:45,671 the community have people that 6120 03:49:45,671 --> 03:49:48,671 are local with their work, 6121 03:49:49,207 -->

business, 6128 03:50:01,850 --> 03:50:01,786 quality of life and in our 6129 03:50:01,786 --> 03:50:02,520 environment and our recreation 6130 03:50:02,520 --> 03:50:05,256 based economy is something that 6131 03:50:05,256 --> 03:50:05,790 I know the chamber is really 6132 03:50:05,790 --> 03:50:06,524 looking closely at. 6133 03:50:06,524 --> 03:50:09,360 We had those conversations last 6134

03:50:12,860 --> 03:50:15,966 east and west county because we 6138 03:50:15,966 --> 03:50:16,667 do have this really great 6139 03:50:16,667 --> 03:50:19,667 balance of winter activity in 6140 03:50:19,900 --> 03:50:20,637 east county and summer activity 6141 03:50:20,637 --> 03:50:23,730 in both sides of the county and 6142 03:50:23,730 --> 03:50:23,840 then we can go back and forth 6143 03:50:23,840 --> 03:50:24,574 when we are tired of the snow 6144 03:50:24,574 --> 03:50:27,430 we can go down the hill and 6145 03:50:27,430 --> 03:50:27,844 when people want to go skiing 6146

04:19:37,989 a fire, I don't know that I 7098 04:19:37,989 --> 04:19:41,589 would have gotten out alive if 7099 04:19:41,725 --> 04:19:42,390 it wasn't for my son who lives 7100 04:19:42,390 --> 04:19:45,762 next door picking me up and 7101 04:19:45,762 --> 04:19:46,394 putting me in their car and 7102 04:19:46,394 --> 04:19:47,297 driving me out of there. 7103 04:19:47,297 --> 04:19:49,900 I don't know how I would have 7104 04:19:49,900 --> 04:19:50,534 survived and so I started 7105 04:19:50,534 --> 04:19:52,769 really thinking about this 7106 04:19:52,769 --> 04:19:53,434 connection between isolation 7107 04:19:53,434 --> 04:19:57,340 and how connected you are to 7108 04:19:57,106 --> 04:19:57,840 your community, to your 7109 04:19:57,840 --> 04:20:00,840 neighbors, to your friends, to 7110 04:20:01,144 --> 04:20:01,878 your family and how that can be 7111 04:20:01,878 --> 04:20:04,780 really helpful in a time of a 7112 04:20:04,780 --> 04:20:05,448 disaster. 7113 04:20:05,448 --> 04:20:07,848 So we were actually 7114 04:20:09,510 --> 04:20:11,451 the beneficiaries of someone 7115 04:20:12,888 --> 04:20:13,589 making that plan in advance to 7116 04:20:13,589 --> 04:20:14,323 have that group of people that 7117 04:20:14,323 --> 04:20:17,426 they were going to call and 7118 04:20:17,426 --> 04:20:17,659 that she saved my life that day 7119 04:20:17,659 --> 04:20:19,659 . 7120 04:20:21,960 --> 04:20:21,627 So absolutely having a network 7121 04:20:21,627 --> 04:20:23,627 really saved lives. 7122 04:20:24,650 --> 04:20:25,660 >> find your five. 7123 04:20:25,660 --> 04:20:28,200 The idea is that you know, find 7124 04:20:28,200 --> 04:20:28,736 trusted allies that can be 7125 04:20:28,736 --> 04:20:32,336 there and can be responsive and 7126 04:20:33,107 --> 04:20:33,741 we'll check in with you if a 7127 04:20:33,741 --> 04:20:35,976 disaster were to happen. 7128 04:20:35,976 --> 04:20:36,708 >> so we recommend that you put 7129 04:20:36,708 --> 04:20:37,412 people in your network that are 7130 04:20:37,412 --> 04:20:40,347 down the street that are maybe 7131 04:20:40,347 --> 04:20:41,140 the next town over there 7132 04:20:41,140 --> 04:20:44,140 outside the county and maybe 7133 04:20:51,188 --> 04:20:51,925 even outside of the state 7134 04:20:51,925 --> 04:20:55,728 the final tier of the ready set 7135 04:20:55,728 --> 04:20:59,928 go is that go peace and it's 7136 04:21:00,660 --> 04:21:00,733 simply that it's go evacuate 7137 04:21:00,733 --> 04:21:01,133 mission information comes in 7138 04:21:01,133 --> 04:21:03,133 two types. 7139 04:21:03,369 --> 04:21:03,903 The first type could be an 7140 04:21:03,903 --> 04:21:04,467 evacuation warning. 7141 04:21:04,467 --> 04:21:06,867 This is an essentially 7142 04:21:07,441 --> 04:21:08,107 information we're going to push 7143 04:21:08,107 --> 04:21:11,107 out to the public notifying 7144 04:21:11,276 --> 04:21:11,977 them of a potential threat in 7145 04:21:11,977 --> 04:21:15,470 their area where they MAY have 7146 04:21:15,470 --> 04:21:15,780 to evacuate their home and 7147 04:21:15,780 --> 04:21:16,515 evacuation order is essentially 7148 04:21:16,515 --> 04:21:19,317 that we are telling people that 7149 04:21:19,317 --> 04:21:20,239 it's time to go. 7150 04:21:20,239 --> 04:21:23,210 there is an imminent threat to 7151 04:21:23,210 --> 04:21:23,821 life and we do not believe that 7152 04:21:23,821 --> 04:21:26,570 you have much time to leave 7153 04:21:26,570 --> 04:21:28,570 the area. 7154 04:21:30,327 --> 04:21:31,260 >> code red is a opt in 7155 04:21:31,260 --> 04:21:31,462 alerting system that will dial 7156 04:21:31,462 --> 04:21:33,462 your number. 7157 04:21:34,798 --> 04:21:35,399 It'll send you a phone call, a 7158 04:21:35,399 --> 04:21:37,799 text message and anemail 7159 04:21:38,666 --> 04:21:39,303 notifying you of an emergency. 7160 04:21:39,303 --> 04:21:42,303 That message sent from our 7161 04:21:42,372 --> 04:21:42,739 office the office of emergency 7162 04:21:42,739 --> 04:21:43,440 services. 7163 04:21:43,440 --> 04:21:46,209 It's going to be very targeted 7164 04:21:46,209 --> 04:21:46,843 to your area and it'll be 7165 04:21:46,843 --> 04:21:47,508 specific to you that five 7166 04:21:47,508 --> 04:21:50,508 thirteen the phone rang with 7167 04:21:50,744 --> 04:21:54,383 the code red call and so as I 7168 04:21:54,383 --> 04:21:55,840 was going up forty nine I could 7169 04:21:55,840 --> 04:21:58,120 look over to the left and see 7170 04:21:58,120 --> 04:21:58,985 the flames in the canyon. 7171 04:21:58,985 --> 04:22:02,358 The next layer is for staff to 7172 04:22:02,358 --> 04:22:05,225 actually be out driving in 7173 04:22:05,225 --> 04:22:08,825 the areas with a low siren. 7174 04:22:09,462 --> 04:22:10,132 >> there's no other reason 7175 04:22:10,132 --> 04:22:10,832 you'll hear that in an area 7176 04:22:10,832 --> 04:22:13,735 unless we're putting out that 7177 04:22:13,735 --> 04:22:14,369 evacuation order not a warning 7178 04:22:14,369 --> 04:22:17,703 but an order day started a 7179 04:22:17,703 --> 04:22:21,303 routine patrol came in and I 7180 04:22:21,306 --> 04:22:22,900 was notified by dispatch to 7181 04:22:22,900 --> 04:22:25,381 respond out to the jones fire 7182 04:22:25,381 --> 04:22:26,180 houses that had evacuation tags 7183 04:22:26,180 --> 04:22:26,446 made it so we could just pass 7184 04:22:26,446 --> 04:22:27,314 by. 7185 04:22:27,314 --> 04:22:29,516 We knew that the residents had 7186 04:22:29,516 --> 04:22:30,181 already been evacuated 7187 04:22:30,181 --> 04:22:32,886 residences that did not have 7188 04:22:32,886 --> 04:22:33,585 the tags we would have to 7189 04:22:33,585 -->

04:22:40,291 occupants inside once you've 7193 04:22:40,694 --> 04:22:43,940 been evacuated as you're 7194 04:22:44,430 --> 04:22:45,620 leaving, put this tag somewhere 7195 04:22:45,620 --> 04:22:47,620 very clearly identifiable 7196 04:22:47,600 --> 04:22:48,298 whether it's a mailbox, a gate 7197 04:22:48,298 --> 04:22:51,298 ,your address marker so that 7198 04:22:51,771 --> 04:22:52,371 deputies and officers can 7199 04:22:52,371 --> 04:22:54,407 quickly identify if your 7200 04:22:54,407 --> 04:22:56,807 residence has already been 7201 04:23:16,594 --> 04:23:17,495

04:30:04,944 its simplest form it's a three 7343 04:30:04,944 --> 04:30:06,944 tiered community emergency 7344 04:30:13,285 --> 04:30:16,285 preparedness plan I have lived 7345 04:30:17,656 --> 04:30:18,354 in this house which we built my 7346 04:30:18,354 --> 04:30:21,393 husband and I twenty six years 7347 04:30:21,393 --> 04:30:24,393 ago now actually we selected 7348 04:30:25,290 --> 04:30:25,730 the hardy like the concrete 7349 04:30:25,730 --> 04:30:29,330 siding and also the metal roof 7350 04:30:29,668 --> 04:30:30,401 then and we moved up here and 7351 04:30:30,401 --> 04:30:30,701 heard about the forty nine year 7352 04:30:30,701 --> 04:30:32,701 fire. 7353 04:30:33,435 --> 04:30:34,105 That's when we started to say 7354 04:30:34,105 --> 04:30:37,272 wow this really is even more 7355 04:30:37,272 --> 04:30:37,942 important than we first 7356 04:30:37,942 --> 04:30:40,100 realized for the forty nine 7357 04:30:40,100 --> 04:30:40,612 year fire is one of the most 7358 04:30:40,612 --> 04:30:43,120 historic fires in nevada 7359 04:30:44,810 --> 04:30:44,681 county's history. 7360 04:30:44,681 --> 04:30:45,313 They figured it'd change 7361 04:30:45,313 --> 04:30:45,713 the laws of the state of 7362 04:30:45,713 --> 04:30:47,713 california. 7363 04:30:48,180 --> 04:30:48,720 That said, this is how you have 7364 04:30:48,720 --> 04:30:49,286 to protect your home that came 7365 04:30:49,286 --> 04:30:51,686 out of nevada county. 7366 04:30:52,152 --> 04:30:52,789 Steve eubanks came from 7367 04:30:52,789 --> 04:30:55,789 the fire safe council and 7368 04:30:56,390 --> 04:30:57,600 the main thing he needed to pay 7369 04:30:57,600 --> 04:30:59,362 attention to was the ladder 7370 04:30:59,362 --> 04:31:00,620 fuels planting has been removed 7371 04:31:00,620 --> 04:31:03,332 from the edges of the house so 7372 04:31:03,332 --> 04:31:03,733 that it does not touch 7373 04:31:03,733 --> 04:31:05,733 the house. 7374 04:31:07,136 --> 04:31:07,834 It was an incredible service 7375 04:31:07,834 --> 04:31:11,434 from the fire safe council to 7376 04:31:11,471 --> 04:31:12,710 come out and spend a couple of 7377 04:31:12,710 --> 04:31:12,441 hours going through this 7378 04:31:12,441 --> 04:31:14,441 property. 7379 04:31:15,610 --> 04:31:16,278 So the phase is when there's no 7380 04:31:16,278 --> 04:31:16,709 immediate threat to you and 7381 04:31:16,709 --> 04:31:18,709 your family. 7382 04:31:19,614 --> 04:31:20,348 This is a time when you should 7383 04:31:20,348 --> 04:31:22,548 be doing education and planning 7384 04:31:22,548 --> 04:31:23,117 whether it be training, 7385 04:31:23,117 --> 04:31:25,117 educating yourself or 7386 04:31:26,387 --> 04:31:27,880 accumulating equipment, 7387 04:31:27,880 --> 04:31:29,488 hardening your home, creating 7388 04:31:31,920 --> 04:31:31,828 defensible space defense space 7389 04:31:31,828 --> 04:31:34,592 is really all about creating a 7390 04:31:34,592 --> 04:31:35,226 buffer zone between your house 7391 04:31:35,226 --> 04:31:37,226 and flammable vegetation. 7392 04:31:38,629 --> 04:31:39,366 We really focus on defensible 7393 04:31:39,366 --> 04:31:42,636 space around the home but first 7394 04:31:42,636 --> 04:31:43,336 100 feet but also around 7395 04:31:43,336 --> 04:31:46,336 the roadway to another aspect 7396 04:31:46,540 --> 04:31:47,240 of the ready phase is hardening 7397 04:31:47,240 --> 04:31:50,476 the home and really what that 7398 04:31:50,476 --> 04:31:51,177 means is making your home more 7399 04:31:51,177 --> 04:31:54,177 resilient to a wildfire that's 7400 04:31:54,413 --> 04:31:55,114 going to be putting a fine 7401 04:31:55,114 --> 04:31:55,746 grained mesh around the vents 7402 04:31:55,746 --> 04:31:58,548 of your home so the embers 7403 04:31:58,548 --> 04:31:59,285 won't get into under your house 7404 04:31:59,285 --> 04:32:01,420 or into the eaves of your house 7405 04:32:01,420 --> 04:32:02,870 that's going to be using 7406 04:32:02,870 --> 04:32:02,786 noncombustible materials on 7407 04:32:02,786 --> 04:32:03,240 your deck and around your home 7408 04:32:03,240 --> 04:32:05,240 . 7409 04:32:05,724 --> 04:32:06,458 So no storm comes through. 7410 04:32:06,458 --> 04:32:10,580 It's not going to ignite your 7411 04:32:20,238 --> 04:32:22,238 home itself. 7412 04:32:24,778 --> 04:32:25,376 I currently live here in grass 7413 04:32:25,376 --> 04:32:27,776 valley with my parents. 7414 04:32:28,479 --> 04:32:31,415 All of us have sleep apnea so 7415

NOVEMBER 8th in 7519 04:35:48,233 --> 04:35:51,233 paradise and first the house 7520 04:35:51,871 --> 04:35:52,104 phone rang, picked up my phone 7521 04:35:52,104 --> 04:35:52,905 . 7522 04:35:52,905 --> 04:35:56,700 It was my sister who lived a 7523 04:35:56,700 --> 04:35:56,675 block or so away from us. 7524 04:35:56,675 --> 04:35:59,675 >> we were waking by a 7525 04:35:59,878 --> 04:36:00,114 telephone call from my daughter 7526 04:36:00,114 --> 04:36:00,776 . 7527 04:36:00,776 --> 04:36:01,176 She said that we were being 7528 04:36:01,176 --> 04:36:03,176 evacuated. 7529 04:36:03,347 --> 04:36:06,347 I left sooner than them. 7530 04:36:06,984 --> 04:36:07,985 I had everything ready. 7531 04:36:07,985 --> 04:36:08,352 >> they were on the way out 7532 04:36:08,352 --> 04:36:09,200 the door. 7533 04:36:09,200 --> 04:36:11,422 There was no time to think 7534 04:36:11,422 --> 04:36:12,125 about what are going to take 7535 04:36:12,125 --> 04:36:15,261 what you're not going to take 7536 04:36:15,261 --> 04:36:16,260 the night before the fire I 7537 04:36:16,260 --> 04:36:18,893 knew it was a red flag warning 7538 04:36:18,893 --> 04:36:19,195 and I knew that it was high 7539 04:36:19,195 --> 04:36:20,940 risk. 7540 04:36:20,940 --> 04:36:22,650 >> so on my way home I filled 7541 04:36:22,650 --> 04:36:23,680 up the tank. 7542 04:36:23,680 --> 04:36:26,200 Well, we we didn't get too far 7543 04:36:26,200 --> 04:36:26,669 from the house. 7544 04:36:26,669 --> 04:36:29,690 You're watching fire coming 7545 04:36:29,940 --> 04:36:30,771 down the hill. 7546 04:36:30,771 --> 04:36:33,771 >> there was a machine shop 7547 04:36:34,277 --> 04:36:34,877 right to my right right there 7548 04:36:34,877 --> 04:36:38,477 and it had gas tanks and 7549 04:36:38,547 --> 04:36:42,318 propane tanks and I saw a lone 7550 04:36:42,318 --> 04:36:43,180 ember kind of floating through 7551 04:36:43,180 --> 04:36:46,321 dancing through the air and I 7552 04:36:46,321 --> 04:36:49,321 watched does it landed on 7553 04:36:50,289 --> 04:36:50,992 the machine shop in the time it 7554 04:36:50,992 --> 04:36:53,692 took me to get my phone back 7555 04:36:53,692 --> 04:36:57,980 into hand and to take a picture 7556 04:36:57,980 --> 04:36:57,766 it was engulfed in flames and I 7557 04:36:57,766 --> 04:37:00,766 knew that within moments it 7558 04:37:01,333 --> 04:37:04,333 would start exploding and I 7559 04:37:05,273 --> 04:37:06,730 would be dead and just as I 7560 04:37:06,730 --> 04:37:09,310 moved out of this the range of 7561 04:37:09,310 --> 04:37:09,944 the explosion they started 7562 04:37:09,944 --> 04:37:12,944 happening and I prayed for 7563 04:37:13,147 --> 04:37:13,811 the people behind me. 7564 04:37:13,811 --> 04:37:16,211 Ten minute drive normally 7565 04:37:16,416 --> 04:37:19,416 the trickle became almost four 7566 04:37:26,159 --> 04:37:30,359 hours so it was a long trip. 7567 04:37:30,830 --> 04:37:31,640 We we started to hear a pattern 7568 04:37:31,640 --> 04:37:31,728 . 7569 04:37:31,728 --> 04:37:34,400 People kept telling us their 7570 04:37:34,400 --> 04:37:35,670 story of how they escaped 7571 04:37:35,670 --> 04:37:37,703 the campfire and they talked 7572 04:37:37,703 --> 04:37:38,404 about how if it wasn't for my 7573 04:37:38,404 --> 04:37:41,404 neighbor who came and knocked 7574 04:37:41,740 --> 04:37:42,674 on my door to tell me there was 7575 04:37:42,674 --> 04:37:45,208 a fire, I don't know that I 7576 04:37:45,208 --> 04:37:46,800 would have gotten out alive if 7577 04:37:46,800 --> 04:37:49,781 it wasn't for my son who lives 7578 04:37:49,781 --> 04:37:50,446 next door picking me up and 7579 04:37:50,446 --> 04:37:53,485 putting me in their car and 7580 04:37:53,485 --> 04:37:54,319 driving me out there. 7581 04:37:54,319 --> 04:37:54,953 I don't know how I would have 7582 04:37:54,953 --> 04:37:57,522 survived and so I started 7583 04:37:57,522 --> 04:37:58,189 really thinking about this 7584 04:37:58,189 --> 04:38:00,189 connection between isolation 7585 04:38:01,559 --> 04:38:02,159 and how connected you are to 7586 04:38:02,159 --> 04:38:04,559 your community, to your 7587 04:38:05,927 --> 04:38:06,728 neighbors, to your friends, to 7588 04:38:06,728 --> 04:38:09,867 your family and how that can be 7589 04:38:09,867 --> 04:38:10,234 really helpful in a time of a 7590 04:38:10,234 --> 04:38:12,234 disaster. 7591 04:38:13,704 --> 04:38:16,104 >> so we were actually 7592 04:38:16,473 --> 04:38:17,174 the beneficiaries of someone 7593 04:38:17,174 --> 04:38:20,774 making that plan in advance to 7594 04:38:20,910 --> 04:38:21,578 have that group of people that 7595 04:38:21,578 --> 04:38:24,747 they were going to call and 7596 04:38:24,747 --> 04:38:24,981 that she saved my life that day 7597 04:38:24,981 --> 04:38:25,615 . 7598 04:38:25,615 --> 04:38:28,150 So absolutely having that 7599 04:38:28,818 --> 04:38:29,418 network really saved lives. 7600 04:38:29,418 --> 04:38:31,418 >> find your five. 7601 04:38:32,822 --> 04:38:33,456 The idea is that you know, find 7602 04:38:33,456 --> 04:38:36,456 trusted allies that can be 7603 04:38:36,892 --> 04:38:40,326 there and can be responsive and 7604 04:38:40,326 --> 04:38:40,963 we'll check in with you if a 7605 04:38:40,963 --> 04:38:43,363 disaster were to happen. 7606 04:38:43,499 --> 04:38:44,232 >> so we recommend that you put 7607 04:38:44,232 --> 04:38:44,933 people in your network that are 7608 04:38:44,933 --> 04:38:47,435 down the street that are maybe 7609 04:38:47,435 --> 04:38:48,103 the next town over there 7610 04:38:48,103 --> 04:38:51,103 outside the county and maybe 7611 04:38:58,479 --> 04:38:59,380 even outside the state. 7612 04:38:59,380 --> 04:39:03,170 The final tier of the ready set 7613 04:39:03,170 --> 04:39:06,587 go is that go peace and it's 7614 04:39:06,587 --> 04:39:07,285 simply that it's go evacuation 7615 04:39:07,285 --> 04:39:07,521 information comes in two types 7616 04:39:07,521 --> 04:39:09,521 . 7617 04:39:10,721 --> 04:39:11,258 The first type could be an 7618 04:39:11,258 --> 04:39:11,825 evacuation warning. 7619 04:39:11,825 --> 04:39:14,225 This is an essentially 7620 04:39:14,861 --> 04:39:15,528 information we're going to push 7621 04:39:15,528 --> 04:39:18,528 out to the public notifying 7622 04:39:18,698 --> 04:39:19,399 them of a potential threat in 7623 04:39:19,399 --> 04:39:21,668 their area where they MAY have 7624 04:39:21,668 --> 04:39:22,399 to evacuate their home and 7625 04:39:22,399 --> 04:39:23,136 evacuation order is essentially 7626 04:39:23,136 --> 04:39:25,838 that we are telling people that 7627 04:39:25,838 --> 04:39:26,603 it's time to go. 7628 04:39:26,603 --> 04:39:29,542 There is an imminent threat to 7629 04:39:29,542 --> 04:39:30,177 life and we do not believe that 7630 04:39:30,177 --> 04:39:33,479 we have much time to leave 7631 04:39:33,479 --> 04:39:35,479 the area. 7632 04:39:37,716 --> 04:39:38,417 >> code red is a opt in 7633 04:39:38,417 --> 04:39:38,850 alerting system that will dial 7634 04:39:38,850 --> 04:39:40,850 your number. 7635 04:39:42,220 --> 04:39:42,854 It'll send you a phone call, a 7636 04:39:42,854 --> 04:39:45,854 text message and an email 7637 04:39:45,957 --> 04:39:46,722 notifying you of an emergency. 7638 04:39:46,722 --> 04:39:49,722 That message sent from our 7639 04:39:49,758 --> 04:39:50,128 office the office of emergency 7640 04:39:50,128 --> 04:39:50,828 services. 7641 04:39:50,828 --> 04:39:52,630 It's going to be very targeted 7642 04:39:52,630 --> 04:39:53,264 to your area and it'll be 7643 04:39:53,264 --> 04:39:53,931 specific to you that five 7644 04:39:53,931 --> 04:39:56,931 thirteen the phone rang with 7645 04:39:57,268 --> 04:40:00,904 the code red call and so as I 7646 04:40:00,904 --> 04:40:01,605 was going up forty nine I could 7647 04:40:01,605 --> 04:40:05,640 look over to the left and see 7648 04:40:05,640 --> 04:40:06,510 the flames in the canyon. 7649 04:40:06,510 --> 04:40:08,912 The next layer is for staff to 7650 04:40:08,912 --> 04:40:11,912 actually be out driving in 7651 04:40:12,649 --> 04:40:12,880 the areas with a high low siren 7652 04:40:12,880 --> 04:40:14,880 . 7653 04:40:16,786 --> 04:40:17,453 >> there's no other reason 7654 04:40:17,453 --> 04:40:18,154 you'll hear that in an area 7655 04:40:18,154 --> 04:40:21,230 unless we're putting out that 7656 04:40:21,230 --> 04:40:21,657 evacuation order not a warning 7657 04:40:21,657 --> 04:40:25,940 but an order day started a 7658 04:40:25,940 --> 04:40:28,595 routine patrol came in and I 7659 04:40:28,595 --> 04:40:29,298 was notified by dispatch to 7660 04:40:29,298 --> 04:40:31,767 respond out to the jones fire 7661 04:40:31,767 --> 04:40:32,598 houses that had evacuation tags 7662 04:40:32,598 --> 04:40:32,868 made it so we could just pass 7663 04:40:32,868 --> 04:40:33,599 by. 7664 04:40:33,599 --> 04:40:36,905 We knew that the residents had 7665 04:40:36,905 --> 04:40:37,572 already been evacuated 7666 04:40:37,572 --> 04:40:40,175 residences that did not have 7667 04:40:40,175 --> 04:40:40,875 the tags we would have to 7668 04:40:40,875 --> 04:40:44,120 physically go in and knock on 7669 04:40:44,120 --> 04:40:44,612 the door, look in the windows, 7670 04:40:44,612 --> 04:40:45,277 make sure there were no 7671 04:40:45,277 --> 04:40:47,677 occupants inside once you've 7672 04:40:48,820 --> 04:40:50,482 been evacuated as you're 7673 04:40:51,685 --> 04:40:52,317 leaving, put this tag somewhere 7674 04:40:52,317 --> 04:40:54,317 very clearly identifiable 7675 04:40:54,753 --> 04:40:55,456 whether it's a mailbox, a gate 7676 04:40:55,456 --> 04:40:58,456 ,your address marker so that 7677 04:40:59,260 --> 04:40:59,626 deputies and officers can 7678 04:40:59,626 --> 04:41:00,794 quickly identify if your 7679 04:41:00,794 --> 04:41:03,194 residence has already been 7680 04:41:23,849 --> 04:41:24,783 evacuated. 7681 04:41:24,783 --> 04:41:27,190 I mean you look out my back 7682 04:41:27,190 --> 04:41:30,619 window here on the east side 7683 04:41:30,989 --> 04:41:31,289 and you see how close this fire 7684 04:41:31,289 --> 04:41:33,289 came. 7685 04:41:35,327 --> 04:41:35,991 It was certainly a shock and at 7686 04:41:35,991 --> 04:41:39,194 the same time it was such an 7687 04:41:39,194 --> 04:41:39,995 incredible relief to have 7688 04:41:39,995 --> 04:41:43,468 the house as safe as it was. 7689 04:41:43,468 --> 04:41:44,202 I and I think with personal 7690 04:41:44,202 --> 04:41:46,270 preparedness and being ready it 7691 04:41:46,270 --> 04:41:47,171 can feel overwhelming. 7692 04:41:47,171 --> 04:41:50,271 It can feel like a lot to do 7693 04:41:50,271 --> 04:41:50,975 and the most important piece is 7694 04:41:50,975 --> 04:41:54,275 to just start with one little 7695 04:41:54,275 --> 04:41:54,945 bite at a time just start 7696 04:41:54,945 --> 04:41:55,379 the conversation, have some 7697 04:41:55,379 --> 04:41:57,379 sort of plan. 7698 04:41:58,312 --> 04:41:59,160 It can be a small ismy to place 7699 04:41:59,160 --> 04:41:59,750 ,you know, a destination that 7700 04:41:59,750 --> 04:42:02,485 everybody will get to everybody 7701 04:42:02,485 --> 04:42:03,190 in the household to get to if 7702 04:42:03,190 --> 04:42:05,190 there's a disaster. 7703 04:42:06,220 --> 04:42:06,656 Recognize you live in a 7704 04:42:06,656 --> 04:42:07,354 community in a county that

04:51:09,700 --> 04:51:10,267 battery from friede and it was 7909 04:51:10,267 --> 04:51:12,503 so easy to go through 7910 04:51:12,503 --> 04:51:13,170 the process to obtain a battery 7911 04:51:13,170 --> 04:51:16,540 that I would recommend it to 7912 04:51:16,540 --> 04:51:17,207 anyone who might have medical 7913 04:51:17,207 --> 04:51:20,207 needs that require power or 7914

knew it was a red flag warning 8016 04:54:24,216 --> 04:54:27,751 and I knew that it was a high 8017 04:54:27,751 --> 04:54:28,184 risk so on my way home I filled 8018 04:54:28,184 --> 04:54:30,184 up

down 8022 04:54:39,297 --> 04:54:39,965 the hill there was a machine 8023 04:54:39,965 --> 04:54:42,634 shop right to my right right 8024 04:54:42,634 --> 04:54:46,468 there and it had gas tanks and 8025 04:54:46,468 --> 04:54:50,410 propane tanks and I saw a lone 8026 04:54:50,410 --> 04:54:50,741 ember kind of floating through 8027 04:54:50,741 --> 04:54:54,278 dancing through the air and I 8028 04:54:54,278 --> 04:54:55,120 watched it as it landed on 8029 04:54:55,120 --> 04:54:58,415 the machine shop in the time it 8030 04:54:58,415 --> 04:55:01,952 took me to get my phone back 8031 04:55:01,952 --> 04:55:02,619 into hand and to take a picture 8032 04:55:02,619 --> 04:55:06,219 was engulfed in flames and I 8033 04:55:06,423 --> 04:55:07,900 knew that within moments it 8034 04:55:07,900 --> 04:55:09,259 would start exploding and I 8035 04:55:09,259 --> 04:55:11,259 would be dead. 8036 04:55:13,529 --> 04:55:14,197 And just as I moved out of this 8037 04:55:14,197 --> 04:55:17,197 the range of the explosions 8038 04:55:34,416 --> 04:55:35,628 they started happening and I 8039 04:55:35,628 --> 04:55:35,823 prayed for the people behind me 8040 04:55:35,823 --> 04:55:36,270 . 8041 04:55:36,270 --> 04:55:36,718 Ten minute drive normally 8042 04:55:36,718 --> 04:55:37,952 the trickle became almost four 8043 04:55:37,952 --> 04:55:38,784 hours so it was a long trip. 8044 04:55:38,784 --> 04:55:40,321 We started to hear a pattern. 8045 04:55:40,321 --> 04:55:40,855 People kept telling their story 8046 04:55:40,855 --> 04:55:43,255 of how they escaped 8047 04:55:44,192 --> 04:55:44,892 the campfire and they talked 8048 04:55:44,892 --> 04:55:45,593 about how if it wasn't for my 8049 04:55:45,593 --> 04:55:48,593 neighbor who came and knocked 8050 04:55:48,696 --> 04:55:49,630 on my door to tell me there was 8051 04:55:49,630 --> 04:55:52,366 a fire, I don't know that I 8052 04:55:52,366 --> 04:55:55,966 would have gotten out alive if 8053 04:55:56,203 --> 04:55:56,870 it wasn't for my son who lives 8054 04:55:56,870 --> 04:55:59,272 next door picking me up and 8055 04:55:59,272 --> 04:55:59,904 putting me in their car and 8056 04:55:59,904 --> 04:56:00,774 driving me out of there. 8057 04:56:00,774 --> 04:56:03,510 I don't know how I would have 8058 04:56:03,510 --> 04:56:04,141 survived and so I started 8059 04:56:04,141 --> 04:56:06,541 really thinking about this 8060 04:56:07,247 --> 04:56:07,914 connection between isolation 8061 04:56:07,914 --> 04:56:11,514 and how connected you are to 8062 04:56:11,582 --> 04:56:12,318 your community, to your 8063 04:56:12,318 --> 04:56:15,318 neighbors, to your friends, to 8064 04:56:15,521 --> 04:56:16,255 your family and how that can be 8065 04:56:16,255 --> 04:56:19,291 really helpful in a time of a 8066 04:56:19,291 --> 04:56:19,925 disaster. 8067 04:56:19,925 --> 04:56:22,325 So we were actually 8068 04:56:23,529 --> 04:56:25,929 the beneficiaries of someone 8069 04:56:27,366 --> 04:56:28,660 making that plan in advance to 8070 04:56:28,660 --> 04:56:28,800 have that group of people tat 8071 04:56:28,800 --> 04:56:31,360 they were going to call and 8072 04:56:31,360 --> 04:56:31,269 that she saved my life that day 8073 04:56:31,269 --> 04:56:33,269 . 8074 04:56:34,372 --> 04:56:35,400 So absolutely having that 8075 04:56:35,400 --> 04:56:37,440 network really saved lives. 8076 04:56:38,409 --> 04:56:39,444 >> find your five. 8077 04:56:39,444 --> 04:56:42,346 The idea is that you know, find 8078 04:56:42,346 --> 04:56:43,800 trusted allies that can be 8079 04:56:43,800 --> 04:56:46,617 there and can be responsive and 8080 04:56:46,617 --> 04:56:47,251 we'll check in with you if a 8081 04:56:47,251 --> 04:56:49,651 disaster were to happen. 8082 04:56:50,454 --> 04:56:51,188 >> so we recommend that you put 8083 04:56:51,188 --> 04:56:51,889 people in your network that are 8084 04:56:51,889 --> 04:56:54,691 down the street that are maybe 8085 04:56:54,691 --> 04:56:55,359 the next town over there 8086 04:56:55,359 --> 04:56:58,359 outside the county and maybe 8087 04:57:05,535 --> 04:57:06,269 even outside of the state 8088 04:57:06,269 --> 04:57:09,972 the final tier of the ready set 8089 04:57:09,972 --> 04:57:13,442 go is that go peace and it's 8090 04:57:13,442 --> 04:57:14,109 simply that it's go

have 8540 05:14:10,462 --> 05:14:11,960 survived and so I started 8541 05:14:11,960 --> 05:14:13,496 really thinking about this 8542 05:14:14,197 --> 05:14:14,866 connection between isolation 8543 05:14:14,866 --> 05:14:18,466 and how connected you are to 8544 05:14:18,537 --> 05:14:19,271 your community, to your 8545 05:14:19,271 --> 05:14:22,271 neighbors, to your friends, to 8546 05:14:22,440 --> 05:14:23,208 your family and how that can be 8547 05:14:23,208 --> 05:14:26,244 really helpful in a time of a 8548 05:14:26,244 --> 05:14:26,875 disaster. 8549 05:14:26,875 --> 05:14:29,275 So we were actually 8550 05:14:30,415 --> 05:14:32,815 the beneficiaries of someone 8551 05:14:34,351 --> 05:14:35,520 making that plan in advance to 8552 05:14:35,520 --> 05:14:35,719 have that group of people that 8553 05:14:35,719 --> 05:14:38,220 they were going to call and 8554 05:14:38,220 --> 05:14:38,255 that she saved my life that day 8555 05:14:38,255 --> 05:14:40,255 . 8556 05:14:41,558 --> 05:14:42,920 So absolutely having a network 8557 05:14:42,920 --> 05:14:44,920 really saved lives. 8558 05:14:46,363 --> 05:14:47,297 >> find your five. 8559 05:14:47,297 --> 05:14:49,430 The idea is that you know, find 8560 05:14:49,430 --> 05:14:50,166 trusted allies that can be 8561 05:14:50,166 --> 05:14:53,570 there and can be responsive and 8562 05:14:53,570 --> 05:14:54,203 we'll check in with you if a 8563 05:14:54,203 --> 05:14:56,603 disaster were to happen. 8564 05:14:57,540 --> 05:14:58,271 >> so we recommend that you put 8565 05:14:58,271 --> 05:14:58,975 people in your network that are 8566 05:14:58,975 --> 05:15:01,544 down the street that are maybe 8567 05:15:01,544 --> 05:15:02,211 the next town over there 8568 05:15:02,211 --> 05:15:05,211 outside the county and maybe 8569 05:15:12,421 --> 05:15:13,152 even outside the state 8570 05:15:13,152 --> 05:15:16,958 the final tier of the race that 8571 05:15:16,958 --> 05:15:20,392 go is that go piece and it's 8572 05:15:20,392 --> 05:15:21,620 simply that it's go evacuate 8573 05:15:21,620 --> 05:15:21,462 mission information comes in 8574 05:15:21,462 --> 05:15:23,462 two types. 8575 05:15:24,599 --> 05:15:25,133 The first type could be an 8576 05:15:25,133 --> 05:15:25,700 evacuation warning. 8577 05:15:25,700 --> 05:15:28,100 This is an essentially 8578 05:15:28,703 --> 05:15:29,370 information we're going to push 8579 05:15:29,370 --> 05:15:32,370 out to the public notifying 8580 05:15:32,540 --> 05:15:33,240 them of a potential threat in 8581 05:15:33,240 --> 05:15:36,377 their area where they MAY have 8582 05:15:36,377 --> 05:15:37,108 to evacuate their home and 8583 05:15:37,108 --> 05:15:37,844 evacuation order is essentially 8584 05:15:37,844 --> 05:15:40,547 that we are telling people that 8585 05:15:40,547 --> 05:15:41,314 it's time to go. 8586 05:15:41,314 --> 05:15:43,383 There is an imminent threat to 8587 05:15:43,383 --> 05:15:44,170 life and we donot believe that 8588 05:15:44,170 --> 05:15:47,420 we have much time to leave 8589 05:15:47,420 --> 05:15:49,420 the area. 8590 05:15:51,691 --> 05:15:52,389 >> code red is a opt in 8591 05:15:52,389 --> 05:15:52,825 alerting system that will dial 8592 05:15:52,825 --> 05:15:54,825 your number. 8593 05:15:56,620 --> 05:15:56,696 It'll send you a phone call, a 8594 05:15:56,696 --> 05:15:59,696 text message and an email 8595 05:15:59,932 --> 05:16:00,566 notifying you of an emergency. 8596 05:16:00,566 --> 05:16:03,566 That message sent from our 8597 05:16:20,549 --> 05:16:20,918 office the office of emergency 8598 05:16:20,918 --> 05:16:21,619 services. 8599 05:16:21,619 --> 05:16:22,253 It's going to be very targeted 8600 05:16:22,253 -->

the code red call and so as I 8604 05:16:24,986 --> 05:16:25,690 was going up forty nine I could 8605 05:16:25,690 --> 05:16:26,324 look over to the left and see 8606 05:16:26,324 --> 05:16:27,124 the flames in the canyon. 8607 05:16:27,124 --> 05:16:27,892 The next layer is for staff to 8608 05:16:27,892 --> 05:16:28,623 actually be out driving in 8609 05:16:28,623 --> 05:16:28,859 the areas with a high low siren 8610 05:16:28,859 --> 05:16:30,825 . 8611 05:16:30,825 --> 05:16:31,495 >> there's no other reason 8612 05:16:31,495 --> 05:16:32,162 you'll hear that in an area 8613 05:16:32,162 --> 05:16:35,620 unless we're puting out that 8614 05:16:35,620 --> 05:16:35,499 evacuation order not a warning 8615 05:16:35,499 --> 05:16:37,499 but an order. 8616 05:16:38,602 --> 05:16:39,436 My dy started routine patrol 8617 05:16:39,436 --> 05:16:42,939 came in and I was notified by 8618 05:16:42,939 --> 05:16:43,640 dispatch to respond out to 8619 05:16:43,640 --> 05:16:47,760 the jones fire houses that had 8620 05:16:47,760 --> 05:16:47,610 evacuation tags made it so we 8621 05:16:47,610 --> 05:16:48,511 could just pass by. 8622 05:16:48,511 --> 05:16:50,744 We knew that the residents had 8623 05:16:50,744 --> 05:16:51,414 already been evacuated 8624 05:16:51,414 --> 05:16:54,414 residences that did not have 8625 05:16:55,170 --> 05:16:55,718 the tags we would have to 8626 05:16:55,718 --> 05:16:57,984 physically go in and knock on 8627 05:16:57,984 --> 05:16:58,585 the door, look in the windows, 8628 05:16:58,585 --> 05:16:59,254 make sure there were no 8629 05:16:59,254 --> 05:17:01,654 occupants inside once you've 8630 05:17:02,570 --> 05:17:04,457 been evacuated as you're 8631 05:17:05,660 --> 05:17:06,294 leaving, put this tag somewhere 8632 05:17:06,294 --> 05:17:08,294 very clearly identifiable 8633 05:17:08,830 --> 05:17:09,497 whether it's a mailbox or a 8634 05:17:09,497 --> 05:17:12,497 gate, your address marker so 8635 05:17:12,967 --> 05:17:13,568 that deputies and officers can 8636 05:17:13,568 --> 05:17:14,836 quickly identify if your 8637 05:17:14,836 --> 05:17:17,236 residence has already been 8638 05:17:37,821 -->

05:23:58,448 We want to have a broad 8763 05:23:58,448 --> 05:23:59,790 spectrum. 8764 05:23:59,790 --> 05:24:01,417 We want to be prepared for 8765 05:24:01,417 --> 05:24:02,151 anything but really we focus a 8766 05:24:02,151 --> 05:24:05,154 lot on wildfire because we know 8767 05:24:05,154 --> 05:24:05,788 that's one of the most likely 8768 05:24:05,788 --> 05:24:08,788 events to happen in nevada 8769 05:24:09,224 --> 05:24:09,858 county already tego is really 8770 05:24:09,858 --> 05:24:12,258 built around the wildfire 8771 05:24:12,959 --> 05:24:13,629 premise to prepare residents to

05:24:21,236 --> 05:24:21,936 near you and then to go when 8776 05:24:21,936 --> 05:24:25,273 it's time to go essentially in 8777 05:24:25,273 --> 05:24:25,907 its simplest form it's a three 8778 05:24:25,907 --> 05:24:27,907 tiered community emergency 8779 05:24:34,381 --> 05:24:37,381 preparedness plan I have lived 8780 05:24:39,486 --> 05:24:40,187 in this house which we built my 8781 05:24:40,187 --> 05:24:42,456 husband and I twenty six years 8782 05:24:42,456 --> 05:24:45,456 ago now actually we selected 8783 05:24:46,993 --> 05:24:47,694 the hardy plug the concrete 8784 05:24:47,694 --> 05:24:47,927 siding and also the metal roof 8785 05:24:47,927 --> 05:24:49,927 . 8786 05:24:51,631 --> 05:24:52,332 Then we moved up here and heard 8787 05:24:52,332 --> 05:24:52,565 about the forty nine year fire 8788 05:24:52,565 --> 05:24:54,367 . 8789 05:24:54,367 --> 05:24:55,320 That's when we started to say 8790 05:24:55,320 --> 05:24:58,337 wow this really is even more 8791 05:24:58,337 --> 05:24:59,500 important than we first 8792 05:24:59,500 --> 05:25:02,500 realized for the forty nine 8793 05:25:02,720 --> 05:25:02,672 year fire fires one of the most 8794 05:25:02,672 --> 05:25:05,720 historic fires in nevada 8795 05:25:06,111 --> 05:25:06,712 county's history they figured 8796 05:25:06,712 --> 05:25:07,346 it'd change the laws of 8797 05:25:07,346 --> 05:25:08,247 the state of california. 8798 05:25:08,247 --> 05:25:10,449 That said, this is how you have 8799 05:25:10,449 --> 05:25:11,160 to protect your home that came 8800 05:25:11,160 --> 05:25:11,683 out of nevada county. 8801 05:25:11,683 --> 05:25:14,830 Steve eubanks came from 8802 05:25:14,517 --> 05:25:15,253 the fire save council and 8803 05:25:15,253 --> 05:25:18,489 the main thing we needed to pay 8804 05:25:18,489 --> 05:25:19,224 attention to was the ladder 8805 05:25:19,224 --> 05:25:22,224 fuels planting has been removed 8806 05:25:22,693 --> 05:25:23,261 from the edges of the house so 8807 05:25:23,261 --> 05:25:26,163 that it does not touch 8808 05:25:26,163 --> 05:25:26,931 the house. 8809 05:25:26,931 --> 05:25:29,931 It was an incredible service 8810 05:25:30,301 --> 05:25:31,100 from the fire safe council to 8811 05:25:31,100 --> 05:25:34,338 come out and spend a couple of 8812 05:25:34,338 --> 05:25:34,705 hours going through this 8813 05:25:34,705 --> 05:25:35,372 property. 8814 05:25:35,372 --> 05:25:38,408 So the remedy phase is when 8815 05:25:38,408 --> 05:25:39,209 there's no immediate threat to 8816 05:25:39,209 --> 05:25:39,874 you and your family, this is 8817 05:25:39,874 --> 05:25:41,611 the time when you should be 8818 05:25:41,611 --> 05:25:44,110 doing education and planning 8819 05:25:45,181 --> 05:25:45,749 whether that be training, 8820 05:25:45,749 --> 05:25:46,349 educating yourself or 8821 05:25:46,349 --> 05:25:48,349 accumulating equipment, 8822 05:25:49,452 --> 05:25:50,119 hardening your home, creating 8823 05:25:50,119 --> 05:25:52,119 defensible space, defensible 8824 05:25:53,489 --> 05:25:54,190 space is really all about 8825 05:25:54,190 --> 05:25:57,190 creating a buffer zone between 8826 05:25:57,426 --> 05:25:57,838 your house and flammable 8827 05:25:57,838 --> 05:25:59,838 vegetation. 8828 05:26:01,264 --> 05:26:01,997 We really focus on defensible 8829 05:26:01,997 --> 05:26:02,629 space around the home but first 8830 05:26:02,629 --> 05:26:04,533 one hundred feet but also 8831 05:26:04,533 --> 05:26:05,200 around the roadway to another 8832 05:26:05,200 --> 05:26:08,703 aspect of the ready phase is 8833 05:26:08,703 --> 05:26:09,404 hardening the home and really 8834 05:26:09,404 --> 05:26:12,507 what that means is making your 8835 05:26:12,507 --> 05:26:13,174 home more resilient to a 8836 05:26:13,174 --> 05:26:16,174 wildfire that's going to be 8837 05:26:16,377 --> 05:26:17,780 putting the fine grained mesh 8838 05:26:17,780 --> 05:26:17,745 around the vents of your home 8839 05:26:17,745 --> 05:26:20,481 so the embers won't get into 8840 05:26:20,481 --> 05:26:21,113 under your house or into 8841 05:26:21,113 --> 05:26:21,816 the eaves of your house. 8842 05:26:21,816 --> 05:26:24,816 That's going to be using 8843 05:26:41,301 --> 05:26:42,100 noncombustible materials on 8844 05:26:42,100 --> 05:26:42,235 your deck and around your home 8845 05:26:42,235 --> 05:26:42,969 . 8846 05:26:42,969 --> 05:26:43,667 So when the storm comes through 8847 05:26:43,667 --> 05:26:44,668 it's not going to ignite your 8848 05:26:44,668 --> 05:26:45,605 home itself. 8849 05:26:45,605 --> 05:26:46,205 I currently live here in grass 8850 05:26:46,205 --> 05:26:48,605 valley with my parents. 8851 05:26:49,706 --> 05:26:50,409 All of us have sleep apnea so 8852 05:26:50,409 --> 05:26:53,409 we all have separate machines 8853 05:26:53,946 --> 05:26:54,246 that require power in order to 8854 05:26:54,246 --> 05:26:56,246 run. 8855 05:26:57,616 --> 05:27:01,216 I also use a nebulizer and 8856 05:27:01,653 --> 05:27:02,354 that's used to disperse 8857 05:27:02,354 --> 05:27:05,123 medication that I need to get 8858 05:27:05,123 --> 05:27:08,123 myself breathing again when we 8859 05:27:08,927 --> 05:27:12,527 have safety shutoffs we have to 8860 05:27:12,597 --> 05:27:13,331 hook up our equipment to 8861 05:27:13,331 --> 05:27:15,731 batteries that have inverters. 8862 05:27:16,534 --> 05:27:17,168 We have a generator that powers 8863 05:27:17,168 --> 05:27:17,568 some of the things around 8864 05:27:17,568 --> 05:27:19,568 the house. 8865 05:27:20,571 --> 05:27:21,303 But then I obtained a pretty 8866 05:27:21,303 --> 05:27:23,703 substantial battery from friede 8867 05:27:24,875 --> 05:27:25,609 and it was so easy to go 8868 05:27:25,609 --> 05:27:27,878 through the process to obtain a 8869 05:27:27,878 --> 05:27:28,543 battery that I would recommend 8870 05:27:28,543 --> 05:27:32,143 it to anyone who might have 8871 05:27:32,816 --> 05:27:33,450 medical needs that require 8872 05:27:33,450 --> 05:27:35,850 power or really anything. 8873 05:27:36,653 --> 05:27:37,320 I

05:30:08,793 on thursday, NOVEMBER 8th in 8956 05:30:09,563 --> 05:30:12,563 paradise and first the house 8957 05:30:13,200 --> 05:30:13,434 phone rang, picked up my phone 8958 05:30:13,434 --> 05:30:14,234 . 8959 05:30:14,234 --> 05:30:17,335 It was my sister who lived a 8960 05:30:17,335 --> 05:30:18,400 block or so away from us. 8961 05:30:18,400 --> 05:30:21,400 >> we were walking by a 8962 05:30:21,740 --> 05:30:21,308 telephone call from my daughter 8963 05:30:21,308 --> 05:30:21,972 . 8964 05:30:21,972 --> 05:30:22,373 She said that we were being 8965 05:30:22,373 --> 05:30:24,373 evacuated. 8966 05:30:25,545 --> 05:30:28,181 I left sooner than them. 8967 05:30:28,181 --> 05:30:29,213 I had everything ready. 8968 05:30:29,213 --> 05:30:29,582 >> they were on the way out 8969 05:30:29,582 --> 05:30:30,213 the door. 8970 05:30:30,213 --> 05:30:32,652 There was no time to think 8971 05:30:32,652 --> 05:30:33,452 about what you're going to take 8972 05:30:33,452 --> 05:30:36,489 ,what you're not going to take 8973 05:30:36,489 --> 05:30:37,223 the night before the fire I 8974 05:30:37,223 --> 05:30:40,225 knew it was a red flag warning 8975 05:30:40,225 --> 05:30:40,526 and I knew that it was high 8976 05:30:40,526 --> 05:30:41,460 risk. 8977 05:30:41,460 --> 05:30:44,163 >> so on my way home I filled 8978 05:30:44,163 --> 05:30:45,197 up the tank. 8979 05:30:45,197 --> 05:30:47,232 Well, we we didn't get too far 8980 05:30:47,232 --> 05:30:48,660 from the house. 8981 05:30:48,660 --> 05:30:51,660 You're watching fire come down 8982 05:30:51,403 --> 05:30:52,134 the hill. 8983 05:30:52,134 --> 05:30:55,734 There was a machine shop right 8984 05:30:55,740 --> 05:30:59,277 to my right right there and it 8985 05:30:59,277 --> 05:31:02,877 had gas tanks and propane tanks 8986 05:31:03,211 --> 05:31:03,812 and I saw a lone ember kind 8987 05:31:03,812 --> 05:31:05,812 floating through dancing 8988 05:31:07,151 --> 05:31:07,951 through the air and I watched 8989 05:31:07,951 --> 05:31:10,888 it as it landed on the machine 8990 05:31:10,888 --> 05:31:14,358 shop in a time it took me to 8991 05:31:14,358 --> 05:31:14,889 get my phone back into hand and 8992 05:31:14,889 --> 05:31:17,289 to take a picture. 8993 05:31:19,162 --> 05:31:19,829 It was engulfed in flames and I 8994 05:31:19,829 --> 05:31:22,465 knew that within moments it 8995 05:31:22,465 --> 05:31:22,930 would start exploding and I 8996 05:31:22,930 --> 05:31:24,930 would be dead. 8997 05:31:26,803 --> 05:31:30,341 And just as I moved out of this 8998 05:31:30,341 --> 05:31:31,700 the range of the explosions 8999 05:31:31,700 --> 05:31:31,741 they started happening and i 9000 05:31:31,741 --> 05:31:34,910 prayed for the people behind me 9001 05:31:34,910 --> 05:31:37,310 ten to drive normally 9002 05:31:39,314 --> 05:31:42,314 the trigger became almost four 9003 05:31:50,258 --> 05:31:51,192 hours so it was a long trip. 9004 05:31:51,192 --> 05:31:51,426 >> we started to hear a pattern 9005 05:31:51,426 --> 05:31:53,426 . 9006 05:31:53,628 --> 05:31:54,262 People kept telling us their 9007 05:31:54,262 --> 05:31:57,262 story of how they escaped 9008 05:31:57,565 --> 05:31:58,265 the campfire and they talked 9009 05:31:58,265 --> 05:32:01,302 about how if it wasn't for my 9010 05:32:01,302 --> 05:32:02,102 neighbor who came and knocked 9011 05:32:02,102 --> 05:32:05,339 on my door to tell me there was 9012 05:32:05,339 --> 05:32:06,390 a fire, I don't know that I 9013 05:32:06,390 --> 05:32:09,576 would have gotten out alive if 9014 05:32:09,576 --> 05:32:10,243 it wasn't for my son who lives 9015 05:32:10,243 --> 05:32:13,447 next door picking me up and 9016 05:32:13,447 --> 05:32:14,800 putting me in their car and 9017 05:32:14,800 --> 05:32:15,450 driving me out of there. 9018 05:32:15,450 --> 05:32:17,617 I don't know how I would have 9019 05:32:17,617 --> 05:32:18,248 survived and so I started 9020 05:32:18,248 --> 05:32:20,648 really thinking about this 9021 05:32:21,321 --> 05:32:21,988 connection between isolation 9022 05:32:21,988 --> 05:32:25,588 and how connected you are to 9023 05:32:25,689 --> 05:32:26,392 your community, to your 9024 05:32:26,392 --> 05:32:29,392 neighbors, to your friends, to 9025 05:32:29,562 --> 05:32:30,327 your family and how that can be 9026 05:32:30,327 --> 05:32:33,365 really helpful in a time of a 9027 05:32:33,365 --> 05:32:33,999 disaster. 9028 05:32:33,999 --> 05:32:36,399 So we were actually 9029 05:32:37,603 --> 05:32:40,300 the beneficiaries of someone 9030 05:32:41,339 --> 05:32:42,400 making that plan in advance to 9031 05:32:42,400 --> 05:32:42,774 have that group of people that 9032 05:32:42,774 --> 05:32:45,109 they were going to call and 9033 05:32:45,109 --> 05:32:45,343 that she saved my life that day 9034 05:32:45,343 --> 05:32:47,343 . 9035 05:32:48,579 --> 05:32:49,244 So absolutely having that 9036 05:32:49,244 --> 05:32:51,644 network really saved lives. 9037 05:32:53,384 --> 05:32:54,385 >> find your five. 9038 05:32:54,385 --> 05:32:56,454 The idea is that you know, find 9039 05:32:56,454 --> 05:32:57,188 trusted allies that can be 9040 05:32:57,188 --> 05:33:00,688 there and can be responsive and 9041 05:33:00,688 --> 05:33:01,322 we'll check in with you if a 9042 05:33:01,322 --> 05:33:03,722 disaster were to happen. 9043 05:33:04,428 --> 05:33:05,162 >> so we recommend that you put 9044 05:33:05,162 --> 05:33:05,862 people in your network that are 9045 05:33:05,862 --> 05:33:08,763 down the street that are maybe 9046 05:33:08,763 --> 05:33:09,432 the next town over there 9047 05:33:09,432 --> 05:33:12,432 outside the county and maybe 9048 05:33:19,406 --> 05:33:20,276 even outside the state. 9049 05:33:20,276 --> 05:33:24,180 The final tier of the ready set 9050 05:33:24,180 --> 05:33:27,516 go is that go peace and it's 9051 05:33:27,516 --> 05:33:28,183 simply that it's go evacuate 9052 05:33:28,183 --> 05:33:28,584 mission information comes in 9053 05:33:28,584 --> 05:33:30,584 two types. 9054 05:33:31,820 --> 05:33:32,354 The first type could be an 9055 05:33:32,354 --> 05:33:32,921 evacuation warning. 9056 05:33:32,921 --> 05:33:35,321 This is an essentially 9057 05:33:35,891 --> 05:33:36,559 information we're going to push 9058 05:33:36,559 --> 05:33:39,559 out to the public notifying 9059 05:33:39,725 --> 05:33:40,428 them of a potential threat in 9060 05:33:40,428 --> 05:33:43,398 their area where they MAY have 9061 05:33:43,398 --> 05:33:44,132 to evacuate their home and 9062 05:33:44,132 --> 05:33:44,866 evacuation order is essentially 9063 05:33:44,866 --> 05:33:47,668 that we are telling people that 9064 05:33:47,668 --> 05:33:48,436 it's time to go. 9065 05:33:48,436 --> 05:33:50,602 There is an imminent threat to 9066 05:33:50,602 --> 05:33:51,238 life and we do not believe that 9067 05:33:51,238 --> 05:33:54,542 we have much time to leave 9068 05:33:54,542 --> 05:33:56,542 the area. 9069 05:33:58,779 --> 05:33:59,480 >> code red is a opt in 9070 05:33:59,480 --> 05:33:59,913 alerting system that will dial 9071 05:33:59,913 -->

05:34:26,707 look over to the left and see 9085 05:34:26,707 --> 05:34:27,506 the flames in the canyon. 9086 05:34:27,506 --> 05:34:30,876 The next layer is for staff to 9087 05:34:30,876 --> 05:34:33,712 actually be out driving in 9088 05:34:33,712 --> 05:34:37,312 the areas with a low siren. 9089 05:34:37,849 --> 05:34:38,516 >> there's no other reason 9090 05:34:38,516 --> 05:34:39,217 you'll hear that in an area 9091 05:34:39,217 --> 05:34:42,117 unless we're putting out that 9092 05:34:42,117 --> 05:34:42,553 evacuation order not a warning 9093 05:34:42,553 --> 05:34:44,553 but an

--> 05:35:01,836 the tags we would have to 9104 05:35:01,836 --> 05:35:04,874 physically go in and knock on 9105 05:35:04,874 --> 05:35:05,475 the door, look in the windows, 9106 05:35:05,475 --> 05:35:06,142 make sure there were no 9107 05:35:06,142 --> 05:35:08,542 occupants inside once you've 9108 05:35:09,450 --> 05:35:11,445 been evacuated as you're 9109 05:35:12,548 --> 05:35:13,182 leaving, put this tag somewhere 9110 05:35:13,182 --> 05:35:15,182 very clearly identifiable 9111 05:35:16,510 --> 05:35:16,716 whether it's a mailbox, a gate, 9112 05:35:16,716 --> 05:35:19,716 your address marker so that 9113 05:35:19,988 --> 05:35:20,589 deputies and officers can 9114 05:35:20,589 --> 05:35:22,624 quickly identify if your 9115 05:35:22,624 --> 05:35:25,240 residence has already been 9116 05:35:44,912 --> 05:35:45,746 evacuated. 9117 05:35:45,746 --> 05:35:48,849 I mean you look out my back 9118 05:35:48,849 --> 05:35:52,449 window here on the east side 9119 05:35:52,786 --> 05:35:53,860 and you see how close this fire 9120 05:35:53,860 --> 05:35:55,860 came. 9121 05:35:56,256 --> 05:35:56,923 It was certainly a shock and at 9122 05:35:56,923 --> 05:35:59,993 the same time it was such an 9123 05:35:59,993 --> 05:36:00,794 incredible relief to have 9124 05:36:00,794 --> 05:36:04,394 the house as safe as it was. 9125 05:36:04,394 --> 05:36:05,131 I and I think with

9129 05:36:11,203 --> 05:36:11,904 and the most important piece is 9130 05:36:11,904 --> 05:36:15,504 to just start with one little 9131 05:36:16,108 --> 05:36:16,775 bite at a time just start 9132

take the emergency 9142 05:36:31,353 --> 05:36:31,990 response as a priority. 9143 05:36:31,990 --> 05:36:34,390 We have worked diligently 9144 05:36:34,892 --> 05:36:35,590 throughout the last few years 9145 05:36:35,590 --> 05:36:38,963 on ensuring that not only our 9146 05:36:38,963 --> 05:36:39,630 staff are trained and prepared 9147 05:36:39,630 --> 05:36:40,297 but we're also putting that

9237 05:42:02,167 --> 05:42:02,801 events we really focus on a 9238 05:42:02,801 --> 05:42:05,360 whole host of disasters or 9239 05:42:05,360 --> 05:42:05,734 emergency events. 9240 05:42:05,734 --> 05:42:06,104 We want to have a broad 9241 05:42:06,104 --> 05:42:06,735 spectrum. 9242 05:42:06,735 --> 05:42:09,171 We want to be prepared for 9243 05:42:09,171 --> 05:42:09,907 anything but really we focus a 9244 05:42:09,907 --> 05:42:12,743 lot on wildfire because we know 9245 05:42:12,743 --> 05:42:13,375 that's one of the most likely 9246 05:42:13,375 --> 05:42:13,711 events to happen in nevada 9247 05:42:13,711 --> 05:42:15,711 county. 9248 05:42:16,981 --> 05:42:17,612 >> ready, set, go is really 9249 05:42:17,612 --> 05:42:19,850 built around the wildfire 9250 05:42:19,850 --> 05:42:20,517 premise to prepare residents to 9251 05:42:20,517 --> 05:42:24,117 be ready before an event to 9252 05:42:24,321 --> 05:42:24,988 move into a set posture when 9253 05:42:24,988 --> 05:42:28,258 there's a red flag or fires 9254 05:42:28,258 --> 05:42:28,959 near you and then you go when 9255 05:42:28,959 --> 05:42:32,293 it's time to go essentially in 9256 05:42:32,293 --> 05:42:32,929 its simplest form it's a three 9257 05:42:32,929 --> 05:42:34,929 tiered community emergency 9258 05:42:42,138 --> 05:42:45,138 preparedness plan I have lived 9259 05:42:46,475 --> 05:42:47,173 in this house which we built my 9260 05:42:47,173 --> 05:42:50,345 husband and I twenty six years 9261 05:42:50,345 --> 05:42:53,345 ago now actually we selected 9262 05:42:53,982 --> 05:42:54,683 the hardy plug the concrete 9263 05:42:54,683 --> 05:42:54,916 siding and also the metal roof 9264 05:42:54,916 --> 05:42:56,916 . 9265 05:42:58,520 --> 05:42:59,221 Then we moved up here and heard 9266 05:42:59,221 --> 05:42:59,452 about the forty nine year fire 9267 05:42:59,452 --> 05:43:01,256 . 9268 05:43:01,256 --> 05:43:01,923 That's when we started to say 9269 05:43:01,923 --> 05:43:05,226 wow this really is even more 9270 05:43:05,226 --> 05:43:05,891 important than we first 9271 05:43:05,891 --> 05:43:08,891 realized for the forty nine 9272 05:43:08,963 --> 05:43:09,564 year fire is one of the most 9273 05:43:09,564 --> 05:43:10,640 historic fires in nevada 9274 05:43:10,640 --> 05:43:12,640 county's history. 9275 05:43:13,401 --> 05:43:14,100 They figured it'd change 9276 05:43:14,100 --> 05:43:14,401 the laws of the state of 9277 05:43:14,401 --> 05:43:15,135 california. 9278 05:43:15,135 --> 05:43:17,338 That said, this is how you have 9279 05:43:17,338 --> 05:43:17,905 to protect your home that came 9280 05:43:17,905 --> 05:43:20,305 out of nevada county. 9281 05:43:20,874 --> 05:43:21,508 Steve eubanks came from 9282 05:43:21,508 --> 05:43:24,440 the fire safe council and 9283 05:43:24,440 --> 05:43:24,711 the main thing we needed to pay 9284 05:43:24,711 --> 05:43:27,711 attention to was the ladder 9285 05:43:28,982 --> 05:43:29,683 fuels planting has been removed 9286 05:43:29,683 --> 05:43:33,190 from the edges of the house so 9287 05:43:33,190 --> 05:43:33,419 that it does not touch 9288 05:43:33,419 --> 05:43:35,419 the house. 9289 05:43:36,860 --> 05:43:36,789 It was an incredible service 9290 05:43:36,789 --> 05:43:40,126 from the fire safe council to 9291 05:43:40,126 --> 05:43:40,726 come out and spend a couple of 9292 05:43:40,726 --> 05:43:41,910 hours going through this 9293 05:43:41,910 --> 05:43:43,910 property. 9294 05:43:44,630 --> 05:43:44,763 So the remedy phase is when 9295 05:43:44,763 --> 05:43:45,328 there's no immediate threat to 9296 05:43:45,328 --> 05:43:47,130 you and your family. 9297 05:43:47,130 --> 05:43:47,833 This is the time when you 9298 05:43:47,833 --> 05:43:50,833 should be doing education and 9299 05:43:51,690 --> 05:43:51,803 planning whether that be 9300 05:43:51,803 --> 05:43:54,203 training, educating yourself or 9301 05:43:55,140 --> 05:43:55,840 accumulating equipment, 9302 05:43:55,840 --> 05:43:58,240 hardening your home, creating 9303 05:43:59,177 --> 05:43:59,808 defensible space, defensible 9304 05:43:59,808 --> 05:44:02,808 space is really all about 9305 05:44:03,140 --> 05:44:03,614 creating a buffer zone between 9306 05:44:03,614 --> 05:44:04,150 your house and flammable 9307 05:44:04,150 --> 05:44:06,150 vegetation. 9308 05:44:07,449 --> 05:44:08,830 We really focus on defensible 9309 05:44:08,830 --> 05:44:11,830 space around the home that 9310 05:44:11,860 --> 05:44:11,789 first one hundred feet but also 9311 05:44:11,789 --> 05:44:14,358 around the roadway to another 9312 05:44:14,358 --> 05:44:15,600 aspect of the ready phase is 9313 05:44:15,600 --> 05:44:18,600 hardening the home and really 9314 05:44:18,229 --> 05:44:18,829 what that means is making your 9315 05:44:18,829 --> 05:44:19,496 home more resilient to a 9316 05:44:19,496 --> 05:44:22,496 wildfire that's going to be 9317 05:44:22,562 --> 05:44:23,265 putting the fine grained mesh 9318 05:44:23,265 --> 05:44:26,101 around the vents of your home 9319 05:44:26,101 --> 05:44:26,735 so the embers won't get into 9320 05:44:26,735 --> 05:44:27,436 under your house or into 9321 05:44:27,436 --> 05:44:30,272 the eaves of your house that's 9322 05:44:30,272 --> 05:44:31,300 going to be using noncom 9323 05:44:31,300 --> 05:44:31,573 unstable materials on your deck 9324 05:44:31,573 --> 05:44:33,973 and around your home. 9325 05:44:34,309 --> 05:44:35,100 So when the storm comes through 9326 05:44:35,100 --> 05:44:38,610 it's not going to ignite your 9327 05:44:49,890 --> 05:44:51,890 home itself. 9328 05:44:52,559 --> 05:44:53,160 I currently live here in grass 9329 05:44:53,160 --> 05:44:55,560 valley with my parents. 9330 05:44:57,361 --> 05:44:58,650 All of us have sleep apnea so 9331 05:44:58,650 --> 05:45:00,765 we all have separate machines 9332 05:45:00,765 --> 05:45:01,670 that require power in order to 9333 05:45:01,670 --> 05:45:03,670 run. 9334 05:45:04,304 --> 05:45:07,904 I also use a nebulizer and 9335 05:45:08,238 --> 05:45:08,941 that's used to disperse 9336 05:45:08,941 --> 05:45:12,541 medication that I need to get 9337 05:45:12,678 --> 05:45:15,615 myself breathing again when we 9338 05:45:15,615 --> 05:45:19,215 have safety shutoffs we have to 9339 05:45:19,282 --> 05:45:20,190 hook up our equipment to 9340 05:45:20,190 --> 05:45:22,419 batteries that have inverters. 9341 05:45:23,355 --> 05:45:23,989 We have a generator that powers 9342 05:45:23,989 --> 05:45:24,389 some of the things around 9343 05:45:24,389 --> 05:45:26,389 the house. 9344 05:45:27,392 --> 05:45:28,126 But then I obtained a pretty 9345 05:45:28,126 --> 05:45:30,526 substantial battery from friede 9346 05:45:31,596 --> 05:45:32,330 and it was so easy to go 9347 05:45:32,330 --> 05:45:35,566 through the process to obtain a 9348 05:45:35,566 --> 05:45:36,234 battery that I would recommend 9349 05:45:36,234 --> 05:45:39,504 it to anyone who might have 9350 05:45:39,504 --> 05:45:40,137 medical needs that require 9351 05:45:40,137 --> 05:45:42,537 power or really anything. 9352 05:45:43,238 --> 05:45:43,908 I would highly recommend 9353 05:45:43,908 --> 05:45:46,308 contacting friede so whether 9354 05:45:47,745 --> 05:45:48,445 it's a snowstorm or a public 9355 05:45:48,445 --> 05:45:49,179 safety power shutoff we really 9356 05:45:49,179 --> 05:45:50,878 want folks to be thinking about 9357 05:45:50,878 --> 05:45:51,515 ok, what are the things I'll 9358 05:45:51,515 -->

05:52:31,491 use there's really no change to 9573 05:52:31,491 --> 05:52:31,891 land use impacts or to the farm 9574 05:52:31,891 --> 05:52:32,456 operations. 9575 05:52:32,456 --> 05:52:35,456 In fact when it enters 9576 05:52:35,862 --> 05:52:36,562 the marketplace there is really 9577 05:52:36,562 --> 05:52:38,962 not a differentiation between 9578 05:52:39,766 --> 05:52:42,166 how medicinal cannabis and 9579 05:52:43,502 --> 05:52:45,902 adult or recreational cannabis 9580 05:52:47,773 --> 05:52:48,440 is tracked and moves through 9581 05:52:48,440 --> 05:52:48,771 the marketplace at the state 9582 05:52:48,771 --> 05:52:49,441 level. 9583 05:52:49,441 --> 05:52:51,877 So this is kind of aligning 9584 05:52:51,877 --> 05:52:54,780 with how the state looks at 9585 05:52:54,780 --> 05:52:55,411 cannabis product so there's 9586 05:52:55,411 --> 05:52:56,810 really no land-use impact 9587 05:52:56,810 --> 05:52:58,850 changes as a result of this 9588 05:52:58,850 --> 05:53:00,850 addition an administrative 9589 05:53:02,651 --> 05:53:03,388 change that is being proposed 9590 05:53:03,388 --> 05:53:06,958 is the elimination of the lower 9591 05:53:06,958 --> 05:53:09,358 tiering of the permitting 9592 05:53:13,155 --> 05:53:13,350 process. 9593 05:53:13,350 --> 05:53:13,540 The when the ordinance was set 9594 05:53:13,540 --> 05:53:13,728 up to permit pass were created 9595 05:53:13,728 --> 05:53:14,798 . 9596 05:53:14,798 --> 05:53:15,366 One is an administrative 9597 05:53:15,366 --> 05:53:15,930 development for men. 9598 05:53:15,930 --> 05:53:16,634 One is what was called 9599 05:53:16,634 --> 05:53:19,340 the commercial cannabis permit 9600 05:53:19,133 --> 05:53:22,733 or cp that was intended to 9601 05:53:22,770 --> 05:53:23,407 address the smaller cannabis 9602 05:53:23,407 --> 05:53:24,107 rises of two thousand five 9603 05:53:24,107 --> 05:53:26,710 hundred square feet or less. 9604 05:53:26,710 --> 05:53:27,310 However, there's really no 9605 05:53:27,310 --> 05:53:30,790 change or there was no 9606 05:53:30,790 --> 05:53:30,780 difference in the processing of 9607 05:53:30,780 --> 05:53:33,180 those applications would just 9608 05:53:34,214 --> 05:53:34,917 be more consistent to do them 9609 05:53:34,917 --> 05:53:37,317 all through the administrative 9610 05:53:37,851 --> 05:53:38,521 development permit for 9611 05:53:38,521 --> 05:53:40,921 regardless of cannabis size 9612 05:53:42,191 --> 05:53:45,191 about 10 percent of the over 9613 05:53:45,862 --> 05:53:46,428 200 are that we've approved 9614 05:53:46,428 --> 05:53:48,828 qualifies as the ccp. 9615 05:53:50,980 --> 05:53:50,832 So it's a small amount of 9616 05:53:50,832 --> 05:53:53,802 the permits and the change will 9617 05:53:53,802 --> 05:53:54,369 allow a more consistent and 9618 05:53:54,369 --> 05:53:56,369 smooth processing for 9619 05:53:57,739 --> 05:53:59,739 the applicant. 9620 05:54:02,700 --> 05:54:02,643 >> the other addition or 9621 05:54:02,643 --> 05:54:05,430 another addition would be 9622 05:54:05,847 --> 05:54:06,581 looking at additional license 9623 05:54:06,581 --> 05:54:09,581 types again only cultivation is 9624 05:54:09,884 --> 05:54:10,584 allowed under a current 9625 05:54:10,584 --> 05:54:12,953 ordinance and so the proposed 9626 05:54:12,953 --> 05:54:13,621 ordinance includes for 9627 05:54:13,621 --> 05:54:14,121 additional license types or 9628 05:54:14,121 --> 05:54:16,121 other activities. 9629 05:54:17,758 --> 05:54:18,392 The first is nonvolatile 9630 05:54:18,392 --> 05:54:20,392 manufacturing which would 9631 05:54:21,795 --> 05:54:22,362 include extraction infusion 9632 05:54:22,362 --> 05:54:24,362 packaging, labeling of 9633 05:54:24,898 --> 05:54:25,565 the product and storing of 9634 05:54:25,565 --> 05:54:26,166 the product on site there's 9635 05:54:26,166 --> 05:54:28,166 another category called 9636 05:54:28,935 --> 05:54:29,635 volatile. 9637 05:54:29,635 --> 05:54:30,269 Obviously this is nonvolatile 9638 05:54:30,269 --> 05:54:33,720 so there are no classified 9639 05:54:33,720 --> 05:54:33,770 hazardous materials involved 9640 05:54:33,770 --> 05:54:36,770 over there are combustible or 9641 05:54:37,176 --> 05:54:37,910 flammable materials and so 9642 05:54:37,910 --> 05:54:40,310 there are development standards 9643 05:54:41,800 --> 05:54:41,780 that require compliance with 9644 05:54:41,780 --> 05:54:44,780 the fire department and review 9645 05:54:45,480 --> 05:54:45,648 and oversight with any 9646 05:54:45,648 --> 05:54:47,648 hazardous type material 9647 05:54:49,187 --> 05:54:49,788 restrictions that MAY be 9648 05:54:49,788 --> 05:54:50,188 implemented by the fire 9649 05:54:50,188 --> 05:54:52,188 department. 9650 05:54:52,924 --> 05:54:53,558 we've also included a 9651 05:54:53,558 --> 05:54:55,958 limitation for a thousand 9652 05:54:57,610 --> 05:54:57,662 square feet on site in order to 9653 05:54:57,662 --> 05:55:00,662 limit the area for these 9654 05:55:01,320 --> 05:55:01,666 proposed activities. 9655 05:55:01,666 --> 05:55:02,300 The second license type is 9656 05:55:02,300 --> 05:55:04,700 distribution and this more 9657 05:55:05,402 --> 05:55:06,103 relates to the movement of 9658 05:55:06,103 --> 05:55:09,103 the cannabis products once it 9659 05:55:09,106 --> 05:55:09,773 is processed and leaves 9660 05:55:09,773 --> 05:55:12,342 the site currently without a 9661 05:55:12,342 --> 05:55:14,742 distribution license there are 9662 05:55:16,120 --> 05:55:16,680 limitations on how and who can 9663 05:55:16,680 --> 05:55:19,680 transport and b deliver that 9664 05:55:20,247 --> 05:55:22,647 product and the distribution 9665 05:55:23,987 --> 05:55:24,654 allowance opens up 9666 05:55:24,654 --> 05:55:25,540 opportunities for different 9667 05:55:25,540 --> 05:55:27,540 locations. 9668 05:55:28,257 --> 05:55:28,891 Retailers manufacture ers and 9669 05:55:28,891 --> 05:55:29,523 other distributors to move 9670 05:55:29,523 --> 05:55:32,294 the product once it leaves 9671 05:55:32,294 --> 05:55:32,926 the site and again we've 9672 05:55:32,926 --> 05:55:35,926 limited that to a thousand 9673 05:55:36,162 --> 05:55:39,966 square feet of on site area in 9674 05:55:39,966 --> 05:55:42,966 order to keep it relatively 9675 05:55:43,380 --> 05:55:45,380 limited or small. 9676 05:55:47,750 --> 05:55:47,809 >> a third type is retail sales 9677 05:55:47,809 --> 05:55:48,343 which is kind of broken up into 9678 05:55:48,343 --> 05:55:50,343 two subcategories. 9679 05:55:51,120 --> 05:55:51,880 There's a non storefront retail 9680 05:55:51,880 --> 05:55:55,183 and that is kind of tied to a 9681 05:55:55,183 --> 05:55:56,170 delivery option. 9682 05:55:56,170 --> 05:55:56,417 This would be closed to 9683 05:55:56,417 --> 05:55:57,180 the public. 9684 05:55:57,180 --> 05:55:59,418 There's no onsite public 9685 05:55:59,554 --> 05:56:02,554 allowance for on site sales. 9686 05:56:03,257 --> 05:56:06,257 It's a license that allows 9687 05:56:07,125 --> 05:56:07,761 deliveries to other end users 9688 05:56:07,761 --> 05:56:08,359 of the product and then a 9689 05:56:08,359 --> 05:56:10,759 storefront which is more 9690 05:56:11,562 --> 05:56:12,265 traditional on site open to 9691 05:56:12,265 --> 05:56:15,265 the public where products are 9692 05:56:15,368 --> 05:56:15,835 displayed, transactions are 9693 05:56:15,835 --> 05:56:17,835 made for sale. 9694 05:56:19,372 --> 05:56:20,300 We have introduced 9695 05:56:20,300 --> 05:56:23,300 the requirement for a use 9696 05:56:23,209 --> 05:56:23,876 permit for these activities 9697 05:56:23,876 --> 05:56:24,410 only the store front retail 9698 05:56:24,410 --> 05:56:26,810 which would allow a 9699 05:56:27,546 --> 05:56:28,214 discretionary process, public 9700 05:56:28,214 --> 05:56:31,214 notice and public hearing as 9701 05:56:31,550 --> 05:56:32,217 well site specific sequoyah 9702 05:56:32,217 --> 05:56:35,487 analysis to look at the site 9703 05:56:35,487 --> 05:56:36,540 specific impacts of potential 9704 05:56:36,540 --> 05:56:38,454 to the neighborhood of 9705 05:56:39,358 --> 05:56:41,758 potentially allowing public to 9706 05:56:43,295 --> 05:56:46,295 access the site and purchase 9707 05:56:46,398 --> 05:56:47,310 product from the site in 9708 05:56:47,310 --> 05:56:50,310 the fourth license type is 9709 05:56:50,199 --> 05:56:50,902 called the micro business which 9710 05:56:50,902 --> 05:56:54,502 is required when any three of 9711 05:56:54,538 --> 05:56:57,538 these activities are engaged in 9712 05:56:58,409 --> 05:56:59,760 by the by the operator of 9713 05:56:59,760 --> 05:57:02,346 the farm and ths is intended 9714 05:57:02,346 --> 05:57:02,913 to mirror the structure of 9715 05:57:02,913 --> 05:57:05,182 the state or the state 9716 05:57:05,182 --> 05:57:07,182 permitting system. 9717 05:57:09,686 --> 05:57:10,420 One of the issues that I 9718 05:57:10,420 --> 05:57:13,420 mentioned currently there is an 9719 05:57:13,490 --> 05:57:15,890 onsite residence requirement so 9720 05:57:17,327 --> 05:57:18,270 any parcel that is engaging in 9721 05:57:18,270 --> 05:57:18,594 cannabis cultivation requires 9722 05:57:18,594 --> 05:57:20,594 an onsite residence. 9723 05:57:21,664 --> 05:57:22,395 There has been an unintended 9724 05:57:22,395 --> 05:57:24,795 result of increased development 9725 05:57:25,568 --> 05:57:26,302 and disturbance on sites in 9726 05:57:26,302 --> 05:57:26,635 order to try to maximize canopy 9727 05:57:26,635 --> 05:57:28,635 sizes. 9728 05:57:46,287 --> 05:57:47,210 I have a couple of 9729 05:57:47,210 --> 05:57:47,719 illustrations to depict on what 9730 05:57:47,719 --> 05:57:48,422 I'm trying to describe here. 9731 05:57:48,422 --> 05:57:49,560 So the current ordinance with 9732 05:57:49,560 --> 05:57:49,790 if there are two ten acre 9733 05:57:49,790 --> 05:57:50,458 parcels which is the picture on 9734 05:57:50,458 --> 05:57:51,156 the left would be limited to 9735 05:57:51,156 --> 05:57:51,826 5000 square feet of canopy but 9736 05:57:51,826 --> 05:57:52,557 only 25 hundred square feet 9737 05:57:52,557 --> 05:57:53,294 would be allowed on each parcel 9738 05:57:53,294 --> 05:57:56,897 for a total of 5000 in order to 9739 05:57:56,897 --> 05:57:57,595 maximize the canopy sizes, a 9740 05:57:57,595 --> 05:58:00,300 second house would need to be 9741 05:58:00,300 --> 05:58:00,901 built on the undeveloped 9742 05:58:00,901 --> 05:58:01,568 property as depicted on 9743 05:58:01,568 --> 05:58:04,771 the picture on the right in 9744 05:58:04,771 --> 05:58:05,436 order to take advantage of 9745 05:58:05,436 --> 05:58:07,836 the maximum allowable canopy 9746 05:58:07,974 --> 05:58:10,974 sizes so that mandates and 9747 05:58:11,475 --> 05:58:12,760 additional structure which 9748 05:58:12,760 --> 05:58:14,760 includes disturbance for 9749 05:58:15,414 --> 05:58:15,982 driveway septic systems and 9750 05:58:15,982 --> 05:58:17,982 other access issues. 9751 05:58:19,352 --> 05:58:20,190 The proposed ordinance would 9752 05:58:20,190 --> 05:58:22,821 allow parcels that are under 9753 05:58:22,821 --> 05:58:25,821 common ownership and control to 9754 05:58:26,556 --> 05:58:27,156 maximize the canopy size on 9755 05:58:27,156 --> 05:58:27,826 each parcel based on its 9756 05:58:27,826 --> 05:58:30,826 acreage without the need to 9757 05:58:30,896 --> 05:58:33,896 build an additional house but 9758 05:58:34,566 --> 05:58:35,300 would still be under the same 9759 05:58:35,300 --> 05:58:37,300 permitting requirement security 9760 05:58:38,503 --> 05:58:40,903 requirements and oversight from 9761 05:58:41,573 --> 05:58:42,373 both the county and the state. 9762 05:58:42,373 --> 05:58:45,373 This is another example of 9763 05:58:46,274 --> 05:58:46,711 the current ordinance 9764 05:58:46,711 --> 05:58:47,445 limitations. 9765 05:58:47,445 --> 05:58:50,881 If there were two parcels under 9766 05:58:50,881 --> 05:58:53,281 one operation, the maximum 9767 05:58:53,515 --> 05:58:54,218 canopy size is based on 9768 05:58:54,218 --> 05:58:57,818 the largest parcel size and so 9769 05:58:57,855 --> 05:58:58,588 under this scenario of a 9770 05:58:58,588 --> 05:59:01,789 thirteen and a half acre parcel 9771 05:59:01,789 --> 05:59:02,492 and a seven acre parcel side by 9772 05:59:02,492 --> 05:59:03,190 side under one operation would 9773 05:59:03,190 --> 05:59:06,190 be limited to 5000 square feet 9774 05:59:06,391 --> 05:59:09,565 of canopy over the changes in 9775 05:59:09,565 --> 05:59:10,266 the ordinance language would 9776 05:59:10,266 --> 05:59:13,703 allow the total acreage to be 9777 05:59:13,703 --> 05:59:14,403 used to calculate and dictate 9778 05:59:14,403 --> 05:59:17,403 the total canopy size allowed. 9779 05:59:17,740 --> 05:59:21,610 So this would allow this set up 9780 05:59:21,610 --> 05:59:22,277 to engage in 10000 square feet 9781 05:59:22,277 --> 05:59:22,878 rather than 5000 square feet 9782 05:59:22,878 --> 05:59:24,680 and taking advantage of 9783 05:59:24,680 --> 05:59:26,680 the additional property 9784 05:59:29,484 --> 05:59:31,884 included in the operation. 9785 05:59:33,953 --> 05:59:34,556 >> another change is regarding 9786 05:59:34,556 --> 05:59:36,956 the canopy sizes allowed 9787 05:59:37,990 --> 05:59:38,693 currently there is a 10000 9788 05:59:38,693 --> 05:59:41,693 square foot canopy maximum for 9789 05:59:41,929 --> 05:59:44,329 parcels 20 acres and greater 9790 05:59:44,732 --> 05:59:47,732 regardless of how much greater 9791 05:59:48,636 --> 05:59:49,336 that current ordinance from 9792 05:59:49,336 --> 05:59:52,606 five to nine point ninety nine 9793 05:59:52,606 --> 05:59:53,600 acres allows 2500 square feet 9794 05:59:53,600 --> 05:59:53,640 of canopy. 9795 05:59:53,640 --> 05:59:56,640 There's no change to this 9796 05:59:56,643 --> 05:59:57,344 proposed ten to nineteen point 9797 05:59:57,344 --> 05:59:58,110 ninety nine acres which allows 9798 05:59:58,110 --> 06:00:00,111 5000 square feet of canopy. 9799 06:00:00,111 --> 06:00:00,780 There is no change proposed in 9800 06:00:00,780 --> 06:00:03,780 twenty to thirty nine point 9801 06:00:04,748 --> 06:00:07,148 ninety nine acres allows 10000 9802 06:00:07,587 --> 06:00:07,820 square feet of canopy no change 9803 06:00:07,820 --> 06:00:08,421 . 9804 06:00:08,421 --> 06:00:11,421 We have proposed to add 9805 06:00:12,580 --> 06:00:14,458 increments of 20 acres and 9806 06:00:15,594 --> 06:00:17,994 10000 square feet of canopy 9807 06:00:19,531 --> 06:00:20,229 between 40 and 59 point nine 9808 06:00:20,229 --> 06:00:23,229 acres up to 20000 square feet 9809 06:00:23,568 --> 06:00:24,169 of canopy with a 10000 square 9810 06:00:24,169 --> 06:00:26,569 foot limit of endor. 9811 06:00:26,638 --> 06:00:27,269 So additional canopy could be 9812 06:00:27,269 --> 06:00:30,269 outdoor mix light and then 9813 06:00:30,675 --> 06:00:31,376 incrementally with 20 acres it 9814 06:00:31,376 --> 06:00:33,776 would increase by 10000 square 9815 06:00:34,913 --> 06:00:35,613 feet in intel reaching eighty 9816 06:00:35,613 --> 06:00:38,783 acres total there would be or 9817 06:00:38,783 --> 06:00:39,517 eighty acres and above would 9818 06:00:39,517 --> 06:00:41,752 have a 40000 square foot canopy 9819 06:00:41,752 --> 06:00:45,352 max with the limitation of ten 9820 06:00:45,787 --> 06:00:48,787 thousand square feet of indoor 9821 06:00:49,726 --> 06:00:50,260 this will address some of 9822 06:00:50,260 --> 06:00:50,861 the subdivision and 9823 06:00:50,861 --> 06:00:52,861 personalization issue in 9824 06:00:53,897 --> 06:00:54,531 addition to allowing additional 9825 06:00:54,531 --> 06:00:57,531 canopy sizes on on larger 9826 06:00:58,234 --> 06:01:01,234 acreage and this is an 9827 06:01:01,971 --> 06:01:02,638 illustration depicting how this 9828 06:01:02,638 --> 06:01:04,638 might reduce subdivisions. 9829 06:01:06,142 --> 06:01:06,876 This is the current ordinance 9830 06:01:06,876 --> 06:01:09,478 where there's an 80 acre parcel 9831 06:01:09,478 --> 06:01:12,915 has a this is the picture on 9832 06:01:12,915 --> 06:01:13,616 the left would have a maximum 9833 06:01:13,616 --> 06:01:16,616 of 10000 square foot of canopy 9834 06:01:16,852 --> 06:01:17,452 with one house. 9835 06:01:17,452 --> 06:01:18,530 The property owner could 9836 06:01:18,530 --> 06:01:20,453 propose a subdivision to 9837 06:01:21,323 --> 06:01:23,959 subdivide the parcel into four 9838 06:01:23,959 --> 06:01:24,659 lots, build the house on each 9839 06:01:24,659 --> 06:01:28,129 line in order to maximize and 9840 06:01:28,129 --> 06:01:28,763 obtain 10000 square feet of 9841 06:01:28,763 --> 06:01:31,163 canopy on each property. 9842 06:01:32,233 --> 06:01:35,233 This again increases density or 9843 06:01:35,901 --> 06:01:36,638 increases traffic and 9844 06:01:36,638 --> 06:01:39,638 disturbance on the property and 9845 06:01:39,940 --> 06:01:42,940 sometimes the houses are more 9846 06:01:44,110 --> 06:01:44,678 manufactured and are only 9847 06:01:44,678 --> 06:01:47,447 developed and created to get 9848 06:01:47,447 --> 06:01:47,881 around the on site residence 9849 06:01:47,881 --> 06:01:49,881 requirement. 9850 06:01:52,183 --> 06:01:54,583 the proposed ordinance would 9851 06:01:55,922 --> 06:01:56,556 allow the 80 acre parcel to 9852 06:01:56,556 --> 06:01:58,956 remain intact only require 9853 06:01:59,358 --> 06:02:00,590 the single family residence and 9854 06:02:00,590 --> 06:02:02,459 still allow that 40000 square 9855 06:02:03,496 --> 06:02:04,163 feet of canopy that could be 9856 06:02:04,163 --> 06:02:06,163 achieved through subdivision 9857 06:02:10,269 --> 06:02:13,269 with the current ordinance with 9858 06:02:13,972 --> 06:02:14,673 the increase in canopy sizes 9859 06:02:14,673 --> 06:02:17,139 also taking a look at setbacks 9860 06:02:17,139 --> 06:02:17,811 and propose some modifications 9861 06:02:17,811 --> 06:02:20,211 to property line setbacks. 9862 06:02:22,800 --> 06:02:22,778 The current ordinance requires 9863 06:02:22,778 --> 06:02:25,178 100 foot setback including all 9864 06:02:25,350 --> 06:02:26,170 property lines even shared and 9865 06:02:26,170 --> 06:02:28,417 internal property lines with 9866 06:02:29,387 --> 06:02:29,854 multiple parcels that are under 9867 06:02:29,854 --> 06:02:31,854 one operation. 9868 06:02:33,221 --> 06:02:33,891 The proposed amendments would 9869 06:02:33,891 --> 06:02:34,625 retain the hundred foot set 9870 06:02:34,625 --> 06:02:37,595 back from all external property 9871 06:02:37,595 --> 06:02:38,295 lines but would reduce 9872 06:02:38,295 --> 06:02:41,295 the property line setbacks for 9873 06:02:41,433 --> 06:02:42,960 those internal shared property 9874 06:02:42,960 --> 06:02:45,569 lines to thirty feet for any 9875 06:02:45,569 --> 06:02:48,569 structures in zero feet for 9876 06:02:49,204 --> 06:02:49,904 outdoor canopy that contains no 9877 06:02:49,904 --> 06:02:52,904 structures and the idea there 9878 06:02:54,110 --> 06:02:56,510 is to further centralize 9879 06:02:57,311 --> 06:02:58,120 the operations internally onto 9880 06:02:58,120 --> 06:03:01,120 the parcel that's engaging in 9881 06:03:01,281 --> 06:03:01,915 the operations and encourage 9882 06:03:01,915 --> 06:03:04,315 those that disturbance and 9883 06:03:05,185 --> 06:03:05,817 those operations to be further 9884 06:03:05,817 --> 06:03:06,553 from the external property 9885 06:03:06,553 --> 06:03:09,356 lines or the neighbors that are 9886 06:03:09,356 --> 06:03:10,190 not part of the operation. 9887 06:03:10,190 --> 06:03:13,190 And I'll have an illustration 9888 06:03:13,393 --> 06:03:14,270 on the next slide with 9889 06:03:14,270 --> 06:03:14,692 the additional canopy size 9890 06:03:14,692 --> 06:03:17,630 we've also increased the set 9891 06:03:17,630 --> 06:03:20,630 backs four to 150 feet for 9892 06:03:20,800 --> 06:03:21,531 10000 20000 and 200 feet for 9893 06:03:21,531 --> 06:03:24,334 20000 square feet of canopy and 9894 06:03:24,334 --> 06:03:25,135 above. 9895 06:03:25,135 --> 06:03:28,135 There's also a modification to 9896 06:03:28,371 --> 06:03:28,771 the sensitive site setback to 9897 06:03:28,771 --> 06:03:29,808 600 feet. 9898 06:03:29,808 --> 06:03:30,209 It is a thousand and this is a 9899 06:03:30,209 --> 06:03:32,209 reduction. 9900 06:03:32,775 --> 06:03:35,775 however, this is in conformance 9901 06:03:36,248 --> 06:03:36,882 with the state requirement of 9902 06:03:36,882 --> 06:03:39,882 six hundred feet from a 9903 06:03:40,318 --> 06:03:41,160 sensitive site. 9904 06:03:41,160 --> 06:03:43,416 This illustration is intended 9905 06:03:46,557 --> 06:03:50,157 to show the proposed changes in 9906 06:03:50,361 --> 06:03:51,128 the setbacks. 9907 06:03:51,128 --> 06:03:54,128 The illustration on the left 9908 06:03:54,295 --> 06:03:54,929 shows that there are two ten 9909 06:03:54,929 --> 06:03:57,929 acre parcels involved in a 9910 06:03:58,569 --> 06:04:01,569 under one farm one operation 9911 06:04:02,506 --> 06:04:03,206 they could maximize 10000 5000 9912 06:04:03,206 --> 06:04:06,806 square feet of canopy on each 9913 06:04:07,711 --> 06:04:10,747 parcel and build to be located 9914 06:04:10,747 --> 06:04:11,412 more centrally within 9915 06:04:11,412 --> 06:04:14,448 the interior of the site and 9916 06:04:14,448 --> 06:04:15,248 maintaining a larger set back 9917 06:04:15,248 --> 06:04:18,587 on the exterior of the parcel 9918 06:04:18,587 --> 06:04:19,288 lines and then the parcel or 9919 06:04:19,288 --> 06:04:19,889 the picture on the right shows 9920 06:04:19,889 --> 06:04:22,289 if there are structures 9921 06:04:22,858 --> 06:04:23,392 involved it's a reduction to 9922 06:04:23,392 --> 06:04:24,900 thirty feet which is 9923 06:04:24,900 --> 06:04:26,828 the standard set back for all 9924 06:04:26,828 --> 06:04:27,195 structures required by 9925 06:04:27,195 --> 06:04:29,195 the code. 9926 06:04:30,529 --> 06:04:33,601 And again this is an incentive 9927 06:04:33,601 --> 06:04:34,235 to try to centralize 9928 06:04:34,235 --> 06:04:34,966 the disturbance as well as 9929 06:04:34,966 --> 06:04:37,366 the activities from neighboring 9930 06:04:38,405 --> 06:04:40,405 parcels. 9931 06:04:41,775 --> 06:04:42,309 >> a couple other changes 9932 06:04:42,309 --> 06:04:44,309 before I conclude. 9933 06:04:45,645 --> 06:04:45,946 One is the use of the support 9934 06:04:45,946 --> 06:04:46,646 area. 9935 06:04:46,646 --> 06:04:50,447 There is an allowance of up to 9936 06:04:50,447 --> 06:04:51,184 90 percent of the canopy square 9937 06:04:51,184 --> 06:04:54,685 footage can be used for support 9938 06:04:54,685 --> 06:04:55,354 area activities under 9939 06:04:55,354 --> 06:04:56,550 the current ordinance which 9940 06:04:56,550 --> 06:04:58,455 includes storage of materials 9941 06:04:58,758 --> 06:05:00,758 processing area drying 9942 06:05:02,494 --> 06:05:02,995 infrastructure as well as 9943 06:05:02,995 --> 06:05:04,995 immature plants. 9944 06:05:05,564 --> 06:05:06,298 The proposed amendments would 9945 06:05:06,298 --> 06:05:09,701 allow some of this support area 9946 06:05:09,701 --> 06:05:10,402 to be divided up and used for 9947 06:05:10,402 --> 06:05:12,402 different activities including 9948 06:05:13,672 --> 06:05:14,339 additional canopy rather than 9949 06:05:14,339 --> 06:05:16,739 just storage or processing. 9950 06:05:17,606 --> 06:05:18,207 so for some of the smaller 9951 06:05:18,207 --> 06:05:20,207 parcels, 55 percent of 9952 06:05:21,546 --> 06:05:22,244 the support area MAY be used 9953 06:05:22,244 --> 06:05:25,244 for additional canopy if they 9954 06:05:25,750 --> 06:05:26,448 can still utilize the remaining 9955 06:05:26,448 --> 06:05:29,448 support area for their support 9956 06:05:29,520 --> 06:05:30,221 uses. 9957 06:05:30,221 --> 06:05:32,621 This would increase maximum 9958 06:05:33,123 --> 06:05:36,723 sizes of canopy on the 2500 up 9959 06:05:37,525 --> 06:05:38,228 to thirty seven almost 37 fifty 9960 06:05:38,228 --> 06:05:40,797 five thousand square feet with 9961 06:05:40,797 --> 06:05:41,431 the math would go to almost 9962 06:05:41,431 --> 06:05:43,431 7500 square feet and 10000 9963 06:05:45,134 --> 06:05:48,571 square feet would go up to just 9964 06:05:48,571 --> 06:05:49,403 under 15000 square feet. 9965 06:05:49,403 --> 06:05:52,606 There would be no net increase 9966 06:05:52,606 --> 06:05:55,811 in the total area dedicated to 9967 06:05:55,811 --> 06:05:56,443 cannabis operations and this is 9968 06:05:56,443 --> 06:05:58,843 also tied to environmental 9969 06:05:59,615 --> 06:06:00,215 impacts and the original eia 9970 06:06:00,215 --> 06:06:03,215 that there was a certain 9971 06:06:03,785 --> 06:06:04,453 footprint if you will identify 9972 06:06:04,453 --> 06:06:06,853 it for potential disturbance 9973 06:06:07,920 --> 06:06:08,657 for either canopy or support 9974 06:06:08,657 --> 06:06:11,657 uses and this modification just 9975 06:06:12,124 --> 06:06:15,124 allows that same total square 9976 06:06:15,730 --> 06:06:16,397 footage to be utilized for 9977 06:06:16,397 --> 06:06:18,797 different uses at different 9978 06:06:19,667 --> 06:06:22,670 percentages and different sizes 9979 06:06:23,838 --> 06:06:24,472 of other minor changes. 9980 06:06:24,472 --> 06:06:26,872 We added some parking 9981 06:06:27,775 --> 06:06:28,409 requirements that were not 9982 06:06:28,409 --> 06:06:30,809 included with the original 9983 06:06:31,812 --> 06:06:32,513 ordinance we've reformatted 9984 06:06:32,513 --> 06:06:35,982 the ordinance to match more of 9985 06:06:35,982 --> 06:06:36,650 the format that's in 9986 06:06:36,650 --> 06:06:39,500 the current zoning ordinance 9987 06:06:39,119 --> 06:06:39,853 for other sections because it's 9988 06:06:39,853 --> 06:06:42,855 not a stand alone ordinance and 9989 06:06:42,855 --> 06:06:43,590 it is part of our land use 9990 06:06:43,590 --> 06:06:43,990 development code and the zoning 9991 06:06:43,990 --> 06:06:45,990 ordinance. 9992 06:06:47,124 --> 06:06:47,758 There's a allowance for an 9993 06:06:47,758 --> 06:06:48,427 increase in the liquified 9994 06:06:48,427 --> 06:06:50,996 propane from fifty five to a 9995 06:06:50,996 --> 06:06:52,996 thousand gallons. 9996 06:06:54,798 --> 06:06:55,501 There are some over regulations 9997 06:06:55,501 --> 06:06:56,199 and oversight that's required 9998 06:06:56,199 --> 06:06:58,599 from environmental health and 9999 06:06:59,171 --> 06:07:01,571 fire department for anything 10000 06:07:02,908 --> 06:07:03,141 between 55 and thousand gallons 10001 06:07:03,141 --> 06:07:05,141 . 10002 06:07:05,977 --> 06:07:06,578 So that will be managed and 10003 06:07:06,578 --> 06:07:07,145 regulated and we've also 10004 06:07:07,145 --> 06:07:09,145 included some language 10005 06:07:11,182 --> 06:07:13,582 regarding ccar or deed 10006 06:07:15,153 --> 06:07:15,853 restrictions and I will go to a 10007 06:07:15,853 --> 06:07:17,989 little bit more detail onthat 10008 06:07:17,989 --> 06:07:18,589 on the next slide that was an 10009 06:07:18,589 --> 06:07:19,290 item of discussion at 10010 06:07:19,290 --> 06:07:21,690 the planning commission which 10011 06:07:22,157 --> 06:07:22,827 heard the these proposed 10012 06:07:22,827 --> 06:07:25,827 changes to the ordinance on 10013 06:07:26,296 --> 06:07:26,761 DECEMBER 8th and there in 10014 06:07:26,761 --> 06:07:28,761 addition to teir 10015 06:07:29,366 --> 06:07:29,967 recommendation for adoption and 10016 06:07:29,967 --> 06:07:32,367 approval was to include 10017 06:07:33,303 --> 06:07:33,904 additional language requiring a 10018 06:07:33,904 --> 06:07:35,904 signed acknowledgment by 10019 06:07:38,374 --> 06:07:38,942 the applicant that places 10020 06:07:38,942 --> 06:07:39,509 the responsibility on 10021 06:07:39,509 --> 06:07:41,475 the property owner to 10022 06:07:41,475 --> 06:07:43,875 acknowledge compliance with any 10023 06:07:45,147 --> 06:07:45,879 applicable ccar requirements as 10024 06:07:45,879 --> 06:07:48,279 part of application submittal. 10025 06:07:49,285 --> 06:07:49,885 So this puts the applicant on 10026 06:07:49,885 --> 06:07:52,885 notice that they need to 10027 06:08:10,470 --> 06:08:11,710 research and be aware of their 10028 06:08:11,710 --> 06:08:11,705 homes and their cars and 10029 06:08:11,705 --> 06:08:12,372 indicate that they are in 10030 06:08:12,372 --> 06:08:12,973 compliance as part of their 10031 06:08:12,973 --> 06:08:13,707 application submitted to 10032 06:08:13,707 --> 06:08:14,274 the county without the planning 10033 06:08:14,274 --> 06:08:14,941 commission did make a 10034 06:08:14,941 --> 06:08:15,508 recommendation for approval 10035 06:08:15,508 --> 06:08:16,242 with the inclusion of 10036 06:08:16,242 --> 06:08:16,910 the addendum to this california 10037 06:08:16,910 --> 06:08:17,610 to the eia that was prepared 10038 06:08:17,610 --> 06:08:18,111 and at this time I'll turn it 10039 06:08:18,111 --> 06:08:20,111 over to brad. 10040 06:08:22,482 --> 06:08:23,216 Thank you very says brian 10041 06:08:23,216 --> 06:08:25,216 dimensioned mentioned obviously 10042 06:08:26,850 --> 06:08:26,754 the as you know the final the r 10043 06:08:26,754 --> 06:08:29,754 was prepared to do that. 10044 06:08:30,522 --> 06:08:31,154 We prepared a secret addendum 10045 06:08:31,154 --> 06:08:33,554 in accordance with secret 10046 06:08:34,357 --> 06:08:35,930 guidelines one five one six two 10047 06:08:35,930 --> 06:08:37,362 in one five one six four which 10048 06:08:37,362 --> 06:08:38,650 set forth the requirements 10049 06:08:38,650 --> 06:08:41,399 under which an addendum can be 10050 06:08:41,399 --> 06:08:43,799 prepared instead of something 10051 06:08:45,234 --> 06:08:46,104 like a supplemental irr. 10052 06:08:46,104 --> 06:08:49,173 So they they are an addendum is 10053 06:08:49,173 --> 06:08:49,907 used for an approved project 10054 06:08:49,907 --> 06:08:52,907 that's been updated or modified 10055 06:08:53,411 --> 06:08:54,110 and then when those updates or 10056 06:08:54,110 --> 06:08:56,110 modifications are minor 10057 06:08:57,348 --> 06:08:59,748 technical changes or additions 10058 06:09:01,549 --> 06:09:02,219 to the document changes, 10059 06:09:02,219 --> 06:09:02,886 the changes do not result in 10060 06:09:02,886 --> 06:09:05,289 any new or more significant 10061 06:09:05,289 --> 06:09:05,953 impacts. 10062 06:09:05,953 --> 06:09:08,353 There are not substantial 10063 06:09:09,559 --> 06:09:10,226 changes in the circumstances or 10064 06:09:10,226 --> 06:09:13,226 the major revisions or major 10065 06:09:13,263 --> 06:09:13,930 revisions. 10066 06:09:13,930 --> 06:09:15,930 There's no substantially 10067 06:09:17,300 --> 06:09:18,100 important new information and 10068 06:09:18,100 --> 06:09:21,504 then there's no or no or 10069 06:09:21,504 --> 06:09:22,104 different new no new or 10070 06:09:22,104 --> 06:09:24,104 different mitigations or 10071 06:09:25,574 --> 06:09:26,272 alternatives that would be 10072 06:09:26,272 --> 06:09:28,844 feasible but that would not be 10073 06:09:28,844 --> 06:09:32,414 or that are declined to be 10074 06:09:32,414 --> 06:09:34,414 adopted. 10075 06:09:36,549 --> 06:09:37,252 So the addendum different from 10076 06:09:37,252 --> 06:09:40,388 an irr there is no circulation 10077 06:09:40,388 --> 06:09:41,186 required. 10078 06:09:41,186 --> 06:09:44,186 The addendum is attached to 10079 06:09:44,525 --> 06:09:45,590 the final year or adopted 10080 06:09:45,590 --> 06:09:47,590 negative declaration 10081 06:09:48,362 --> 06:09:49,196 explanation. 10082 06:09:49,196 --> 06:09:52,533 The decision not to prepare a 10083 06:09:52,533 --> 06:09:52,967 subsequent year is included in 10084 06:09:52,967 --> 06:09:54,967 the addendum. 10085 06:09:55,502 --> 06:09:56,203 There are findings made on 10086 06:09:56,203 --> 06:09:58,603 the project findings basically 10087 06:10:00,407 --> 06:10:01,141 saying that there is no new or 10088 06:10:01,141 --> 06:10:03,476 substantial information, no new 10089 06:10:03,476 --> 06:10:04,211 or substantial new impacts and 10090 06:10:04,211 --> 06:10:07,211 that the findings are supported 10091 06:10:07,414 --> 06:10:08,810 by substantial evidence. 10092 06:10:08,810 --> 06:10:10,481 Although circulation is not 10093 06:10:11,651 --> 06:10:12,385 required, the county did post 10094 06:10:12,385 --> 06:10:15,822 the document on the website and 10095 06:10:15,822 --> 06:10:16,556 has conducted quite a bit of 10096 06:10:16,556 --> 06:10:18,457 research or not research public 10097 06:10:18,457 --> 06:10:20,457 outreach. 10098 06:10:22,728 --> 06:10:23,295 So in regards to the no new 10099 06:10:23,295 --> 06:10:25,295 substantial changes or 10100 06:10:26,798 --> 06:10:27,430 substantial impacts, 10101 06:10:27,430 --> 06:10:30,430 the project as modified is 10102 06:10:30,836 --> 06:10:31,503 consistent with all 10103 06:10:31,503 --> 06:10:33,903 the previous disclosures for 10104 06:10:34,773 --> 06:10:35,504 all of the various resource 10105 06:10:35,504 --> 06:10:38,810 categories we'll get into a few 10106 06:10:38,810 --> 06:10:41,210 more specific esthetics biology 10107 06:10:42,446 --> 06:10:43,145 but all of the twenty one 10108 06:10:43,145 --> 06:10:46,145 resource categories for all of 10109 06:10:46,684 --> 06:10:47,385 the potential projects under 10110 06:10:47,385 --> 06:10:47,952 the new ordinance they'll all 10111 06:10:47,952 --> 06:10:50,352 occur within the same 10112 06:10:52,144 --> 06:10:52,459 environment. 10113 06:10:52,459 --> 06:10:54,822 What the same circumstances 10114 06:10:54,822 --> 06:10:55,559 there 100 foot setback remains. 10115 06:10:55,559 --> 06:10:57,861 This was considered as well but 10116 06:10:57,861 --> 06:10:58,561 it would even be increased for 10117 06:10:58,561 --> 06:11:01,598 the ten to twenty thousand and 10118 06:11:01,598 --> 06:11:02,320 twenty thousand plus 10119 06:11:02,320 --> 06:11:04,320 cultivation. 10120 06:11:05,735 --> 06:11:06,436 There's no net increase in 10121 06:11:06,436 --> 06:11:09,436 the area used for cultivation 10122 06:11:09,572 --> 06:11:10,206 and there's no inducement of 10123 06:11:10,206 --> 06:11:12,606 subdivisions as brian had 10124 06:11:13,609 --> 06:11:14,277 talked about quite a bit 10125 06:11:14,277 --> 06:11:14,577 leading to the clustering of 10126 06:11:14,577 --> 06:11:16,577 uses. 10127 06:11:17,680 --> 06:11:18,280 So we considered that as well 10128 06:11:18,280 --> 06:11:20,680 in the same minimization 10129 06:11:20,916 --> 06:11:21,316 considerations are still 10130 06:11:21,316 --> 06:11:22,170 applicable. 10131 06:11:22,170 --> 06:11:25,530 All the projects will still be 10132 06:11:25,530 --> 06:11:25,785 required to comply with all 10133 06:11:25,785 --> 06:11:28,785 county codes in the development 10134 06:11:28,990 --> 06:11:29,622 review process there will be 10135 06:11:29,622 --> 06:11:32,220 subsequent seek review as 10136 06:11:32,660 --> 06:11:33,394 required by the ordinance and 10137 06:11:33,394 --> 06:11:36,394 all of the same mitigation 10138 06:11:36,798 --> 06:11:37,462 measures would apply to 10139 06:11:37,462 --> 06:11:39,862 the projects as applicable. 10140 06:11:40,368 --> 06:11:41,200 So a little more specifically 10141 06:11:41,200 --> 06:11:44,400 has pulled out a couple of 10142 06:11:44,400 --> 06:11:44,672 the resource categories that 10143 06:11:44,672 --> 06:11:47,672 are generally a little more 10144 06:11:48,108 --> 06:11:48,609 sensitive air quality and 10145 06:11:48,609 --> 06:11:50,609 greenhouse gases. 10146 06:11:51,778 --> 06:11:52,446 Again this is a little 10147 06:11:52,446 --> 06:11:55,446 redundant but the project is 10148 06:11:55,849 --> 06:11:56,550 still within the northern syria 10149 06:11:56,550 --> 06:11:57,150 quality management district so 10150 06:11:57,150 --> 06:11:59,984 it's in the same basin, 10151 06:11:59,984 --> 06:12:00,487 the same mission thresholds 10152 06:12:00,487 --> 06:12:02,487 will still apply. 10153 06:12:03,821 --> 06:12:04,490 There's going to be similar 10154 06:12:04,490 --> 06:12:06,490 construction and operational 10155 06:12:08,258 --> 06:12:08,928 missions and tying back into 10156 06:12:08,928 --> 06:12:11,328 the same mitigation measures 10157 06:12:12,198 --> 06:12:12,832 there's still the prohibition 10158 06:12:12,832 --> 06:12:15,201 on burning of cannabis and 10159 06:12:15,201 --> 06:12:17,601 other vegetation helping with 10160 06:12:19,138 --> 06:12:22,138 odor control so similarly with 10161 06:12:22,874 --> 06:12:23,575 esthetics where the projects 10162 06:12:23,575 --> 06:12:24,175 are all within the same visual 10163 06:12:24,175 --> 06:12:26,175 environment, there's no 10164 06:12:27,312 --> 06:12:30,312 additional zones or areas where 10165 06:12:30,949 --> 06:12:31,616 projects could occur. 10166 06:12:31,616 --> 06:12:34,160 There's still the protected 10167 06:12:34,886 --> 06:12:35,586 tree avoidance mitigation, 10168 06:12:35,586 --> 06:12:36,287 light control plans and visual 10169 06:12:36,287 --> 06:12:39,287 screening elements are still a 10170 06:12:39,290 --> 06:12:42,290 part and setbacks are actually 10171 06:12:42,793 --> 06:12:45,193 increased for the larger 10172 06:12:56,628 --> 06:12:57,365 project sizes in regards to 10173 06:12:57,365 --> 06:12:59,700 biological resources again it's 10174 06:12:59,700 --> 06:13:00,401 within there's the projects 10175 06:13:00,401 --> 06:13:01,100 that occur in the same zones 10176 06:13:01,100 --> 06:13:03,401 with the same biological 10177 06:13:05,500 --> 06:13:05,739 resources you know changes to 10178 06:13:05,739 --> 06:13:08,739 the wetland impacts riparian or 10179 06:13:08,842 --> 06:13:09,507 other habitats. 10180 06:13:09,507 --> 06:13:11,907 The same restrictions would 10181 06:13:12,779 --> 06:13:15,882 apply in that regard tying in 10182 06:13:15,882 --> 06:13:16,583 with noise in as well because 10183 06:13:16,583 --> 06:13:19,583 the noise can affect species. 10184 06:13:20,687 --> 06:13:21,354 There's the generator vasey 10185 06:13:21,354 --> 06:13:23,754 noise minims it minimization 10186 06:13:24,290 --> 06:13:24,890 measures and one of the big 10187 06:13:24,890 --> 06:13:26,890 elements for biological 10188 06:13:27,793 --> 06:13:28,394 resources is the prescreening 10189 06:13:28,394 --> 06:13:30,394 element which identifies 10190 06:13:31,730 --> 06:13:32,331 constraints were requires 10191 06:13:32,331 --> 06:13:32,965 biological inventory and 10192 06:13:32,965 --> 06:13:35,365 habitat management plan if 10193 06:13:36,203 --> 06:13:36,835 required and then again tying 10194 06:13:36,835 --> 06:13:39,235 back to esthetics there's 10195 06:13:40,138 --> 06:13:40,772 the lighting plan which helps 10196 06:13:40,772 --> 06:13:42,772 reduce nighttime lighting 10197 06:13:43,975 --> 06:13:46,975 impacts on species and lastly 10198 06:13:48,680 --> 06:13:49,344 transportation impacts project 10199 06:13:49,344 --> 06:13:51,883 could occur within the same 10200 06:13:51,883 --> 06:13:52,617 roadway network. 10201 06:13:52,617 --> 06:13:53,181 The projects would all comply 10202 06:13:53,181 --> 06:13:55,581 with county codes and 10203 06:13:56,200 --> 06:13:56,654 development review process 10204 06:13:56,654 --> 06:13:59,540 the same emergency access 10205 06:14:00,210 --> 06:14:02,421 parking ada compliance is 10206 06:14:03,240 --> 06:14:05,424 applicable for projects that 10207 06:14:08,131 --> 06:14:08,431 would caltrans to come into 10208 06:14:08,431 --> 06:14:09,630 play. 10209 06:14:09,630 --> 06:14:09,633 Caltrans requirements for 10210 06:14:09,633 --> 06:14:11,801 access would still be 10211 06:14:11,801 --> 06:14:12,469 applicable. 10212 06:14:12,469 --> 06:14:13,203 There's payment of fees and 10213 06:14:13,203 --> 06:14:16,390 taxes that can be used for 10214 06:14:16,390 --> 06:14:16,703 roadway improvements and then 10215 06:14:16,703 --> 06:14:19,103 there's a possible reduction 10216 06:14:19,339 --> 06:14:19,709 actually in vehicle miles 10217 06:14:19,709 --> 06:14:20,409 traveled. 10218 06:14:20,409 --> 06:14:23,409 This was briefly discussed in 10219 06:14:24,246 --> 06:14:27,246 the addendum going back to 10220 06:14:28,181 --> 06:14:30,581 the retail and manufacturing. 10221 06:14:31,286 --> 06:14:31,954 There's potential for more 10222 06:14:31,954 --> 06:14:33,955 efficient delivery and then 10223 06:14:33,955 --> 06:14:36,355 more efficient shipping of 10224 06:14:37,993 --> 06:14:38,993 products as well. 10225 06:14:38,993 --> 06:14:42,130 >> so that all led us to find 10226 06:14:42,130 --> 06:14:42,597 that the updated ordinance is 10227 06:14:42,597 --> 06:14:43,231 consistent with 10228 06:14:43,231 --> 06:14:45,631 the requirements of again 10229 06:14:45,967 --> 06:14:46,634 section one five one six one 10230 06:14:46,634 --> 06:14:50,370 five one six four no net 10231 06:14:50,370 --> 06:14:50,471 increase in the area of 10232 06:14:50,471 --> 06:14:51,172 cultivation. 10233 06:14:51,172 --> 06:14:53,572 There's no substantial changes 10234 06:14:54,339 --> 06:14:54,975 to the circumstances and a lot 10235 06:14:54,975 --> 06:14:57,375 of this is administrative 10236 06:14:57,511 --> 06:14:58,212 changes conform to the regular 10237 06:14:58,212 --> 06:15:00,612 regulations of the department 10238 06:15:01,415 --> 06:15:02,215 of cannabis control. 10239 06:15:02,215 --> 06:15:05,519 Brian touched on that as well. 10240 06:15:05,519 --> 06:15:06,217 The updates do not result in 10241 06:15:06,217 --> 06:15:08,617 new or substantially different 10242 06:15:09,550 --> 06:15:11,550 impacts. 10243 06:15:13,593 --> 06:15:16,590 The those updates are balanced 10244 06:15:16,590 --> 06:15:16,696 by increased setbacks for 10245 06:15:16,696 --> 06:15:19,960 the larger canopy sizes. 10246 06:15:20,432 --> 06:15:21,970 As I noted, it remains limited 10247 06:15:21,970 --> 06:15:24,470 to the gaap and F.R. Zones. 10248 06:15:24,470 --> 06:15:25,170 So there's no expansion into 10249 06:15:25,170 --> 06:15:28,170 areas where cannabis would not 10250 06:15:28,538 --> 06:15:29,138 have previously been allowed 10251 06:15:29,138 --> 06:15:31,538 and these are generally 10252 06:15:32,444 --> 06:15:33,144 consistent rural lands which 10253 06:15:33,144 --> 06:15:36,144 are less populated with fewer 10254 06:15:36,578 --> 06:15:37,248 sensitive scepters and then 10255 06:15:37,248 --> 06:15:39,648 the retail and manufacturing 10256 06:15:40,215 --> 06:15:42,215 and distribution elements 10257 06:15:44,155 --> 06:15:44,488 comply with state law last 10258 06:15:44,488 --> 06:15:46,488 slide. 10259 06:15:48,425 --> 06:15:49,126 So the continuing with 10260 06:15:49,126 --> 06:15:52,126 the findings the project would 10261 06:15:52,663 --> 06:15:53,364 implement county land use and 10262 06:15:53,364 --> 06:15:55,566 development code to reduce or 10263 06:15:55,566 --> 06:15:57,966 avoid the impacts reduces 10264 06:15:59,269 --> 06:15:59,970 the addendums the project still 10265 06:15:59,970 --> 06:16:02,370 reduce potential impacts from 10266 06:16:03,306 --> 06:16:04,740 subdivisions. 10267 06:16:04,740 --> 06:16:06,373 There is the required sequiera 10268 06:16:06,373 --> 06:16:07,760 review process as applicable 10269 06:16:07,760 --> 06:16:10,760 again all the same mitigation 10270 06:16:10,377 --> 06:16:11,800 measures and the mitigation 10271 06:16:11,800 --> 06:16:13,480 monitoring reporting plan are 10272 06:16:14,350 --> 06:16:15,184 still in play. 10273 06:16:15,184 --> 06:16:18,287 The projects I would conform to 10274 06:16:18,287 --> 06:16:18,852 title twenty four and include 10275 06:16:18,852 --> 06:16:20,852 green development and 10276 06:16:22,324 --> 06:16:22,958 the development group review 10277 06:16:22,958 --> 06:16:25,358 process through the county 10278 06:16:26,692 --> 06:16:29,598 would remain in place to for 10279 06:16:29,598 --> 06:16:30,165 that and with that the planning 10280 06:16:30,165 --> 06:16:30,799 commission and staff's 10281 06:16:30,799 --> 06:16:33,199 recommendation is to adopt 10282 06:16:33,768 --> 06:16:34,502 the resolution to adopt and 10283 06:16:34,502 --> 06:16:38,102 approve the addendum as well as 10284 06:16:38,439 --> 06:16:39,140 adopt the ordinance amending 10285 06:16:39,140 --> 06:16:41,609 chapter two of the ladies and 10286 06:16:41,609 --> 06:16:42,276 development code for commercial 10287 06:16:42,276 --> 06:16:42,974 cannabis cultivation and I'm 10288 06:16:42,974 --> 06:16:45,446 happy to answer any questions 10289 06:16:45,446 --> 06:16:45,880 you MAY have. 10290 06:16:45,880 --> 06:16:46,447 Thank you. 10291 06:16:46,447 --> 06:16:48,447 Thank you gentlemen. 10292 06:16:50,214 --> 06:16:52,953 I'd like to point out that 10293 06:16:52,953 --> 06:16:53,787 supervisor bullock is unable to 10294 06:16:53,787 --> 06:16:58,587 be with us today but he is with 10295 06:17:01,427 --> 06:17:02,280 us remotely so as we go into 10296 06:17:02,280 --> 06:17:02,729 questions and comments, 10297 06:17:02,729 --> 06:17:05,129 supervisor bullock, would you 10298 06:17:07,567 --> 06:17:08,000 like to start us off? 10299 06:17:08,000 --> 06:17:08,768 >> sure. 10300 06:17:08,768 --> 06:17:11,168 thank you, MR.

06:17:33,591 just bringing us into line with 10311 06:17:33,591 --> 06:17:34,325 what state the state law 10312 06:17:34,325 --> 06:17:36,725 already essentially calls for. 10313 06:17:36,761 --> 06:17:37,292 >> is that is that right, 10314 06:17:37,292 --> 06:17:38,162 supervisor bullock? 10315 06:17:38,162 --> 06:17:41,762 Yes, as I understand it, there 10316 06:17:44,635 --> 06:17:45,469 is that once it leaves the farm 10317 06:17:45,469 --> 06:17:48,469 and enters the state system, 10318 06:17:48,872 --> 06:17:49,539 the marketplace it can be used 10319 06:17:49,539 --> 06:17:52,742 for any type of product and 10320 06:17:52,742 --> 06:17:53,577 purpose. 10321 06:17:53,577 --> 06:17:57,800 And so it's not really it was 10322 06:17:57,800 --> 06:17:57,714 something that was set up with 10323 06:17:57,714 --> 06:18:00,714 the early days of allowing 10324 06:18:00,847 --> 06:18:01,417 medicinal use only through 10325 06:18:01,417 --> 06:18:02,151 the state and through 10326 06:18:02,151 --> 06:18:04,500 the county and so it would just 10327 06:18:04,500 --> 06:18:04,754 align with kind of removing 10328 06:18:04,754 --> 06:18:07,723 that term in that restriction 10329 06:18:07,723 --> 06:18:09,723 with the state. 10330 06:18:11,961 --> 06:18:14,961 Ok, um, on the nonvolatile 10331 06:18:16,310 --> 06:18:16,729 manufacturing portion, could 10332 06:18:16,729 --> 06:18:19,965 you just give us some examples 10333 06:18:19,965 --> 06:18:20,335 of what types of products that 10334 06:18:20,335 --> 06:18:21,690 would be? 10335 06:18:21,690 --> 06:18:24,669 Would that be edibles and food 10336 06:18:41,850 --> 06:18:41,686 and like things you lie creams 10337 06:18:41,686 --> 06:18:42,522 and things like that? 10338 06:18:42,522 --> 06:18:43,457 >> I think in addition like 10339 06:18:43,457 --> 06:18:44,157 bath salts or I'm I'd have to 10340 06:18:44,157 --> 06:18:44,825 defer to the industry a little 10341 06:18:44,825 --> 06:18:45,523 bit more but as soaps things 10342 06:18:45,523 --> 06:18:46,259 like that in addition to some 10343 06:18:46,259 --> 06:18:46,924 potentially edible products, ok 10344 06:18:46,924 --> 06:18:48,325 and they've been nonvolatile 10345 06:18:48,325 --> 06:18:50,725 meaning obviously it's not 10346 06:18:52,932 --> 06:18:53,564 prone to foshee exposure type 10347 06:18:53,564 --> 06:18:54,267 of things but it is still 10348 06:18:54,267 --> 06:18:56,667 flammable subject to whatever 10349 06:18:57,136 --> 06:18:59,536 regulation goes with flammable 10350 06:18:59,839 --> 06:19:00,239 materials manufacturing. 10351 06:19:00,239 --> 06:19:02,239 Yeah. 10352 06:19:03,776 --> 06:19:04,510 Supervisor bullock I think 10353 06:19:04,510 --> 06:19:07,980 the there's a list of different 10354 06:19:07,980 --> 06:19:08,680 types of materials and 10355 06:19:08,680 --> 06:19:11,800 chemicals that are classified 10356 06:19:11,784 --> 06:19:12,482 as either volatile or 10357 06:19:12,482 --> 06:19:12,918 nonvolatile and it's regulated 10358 06:19:12,918 --> 06:19:14,918 by the state. 10359 06:19:16,210 --> 06:19:16,685 So any extraction and fusion 10360 06:19:16,685 --> 06:19:19,685 processes that are used for 10361 06:19:19,758 --> 06:19:20,322 nonvolatile need to only 10362 06:19:20,322 --> 06:19:22,722 involve those types of 10363 06:19:23,795 --> 06:19:24,495 materials and or chemicals that 10364 06:19:24,495 --> 06:19:27,832 are on the approved list or on 10365 06:19:27,832 --> 06:19:29,832 that criteria. 10366 06:19:31,800 --> 06:19:32,536 But some of those chemicals and 10367 06:19:32,536 --> 06:19:35,839 gases and things could still be 10368 06:19:35,839 --> 06:19:36,507 flammable and combustible but 10369 06:19:36,507 --> 06:19:38,876 they're just not considered 10370 06:19:38,876 --> 06:19:39,509 volatile materials. 10371 06:19:39,509 --> 06:19:41,509 Ok, understood. 10372 06:19:43,413 --> 06:19:43,947 Ok, brian, was there any 10373 06:19:43,947 --> 06:19:45,947 discussion other at 10374 06:19:47,810 --> 06:19:47,784 the planning commission or at 10375 06:19:47,784 --> 06:19:50,784 the staff level regarding kind 10376 06:19:51,200 --> 06:19:51,718 of a good neighbor policy that 10377 06:19:51,718 --> 06:19:52,388 would allow setbacks to change 10378 06:19:52,388 --> 06:19:55,388 based on the neighborhood to 10379 06:19:55,491 --> 06:19:56,192 for example, if you had a 20 10380 06:19:56,192 --> 06:19:58,600 acre parcel with the twenty k 10381 06:19:58,600 --> 06:19:58,758 square foot canopy in a 10382 06:19:58,758 --> 06:19:59,462 neighbor said yeah, we're fine 10383 06:19:59,462 --> 06:20:02,398 having our our neighbor who's 10384 06:20:02,398 --> 06:20:03,132 growing reduce the stuff back 10385 06:20:03,132 --> 06:20:06,350 to one hundred feet, is that 10386 06:20:06,350 --> 06:20:06,835 something that was discussed at 10387 06:20:06,835 --> 06:20:07,569 all or was it and it was 10388 06:20:07,569 --> 06:20:10,572 the result of that the setbacks 10389 06:20:10,572 --> 06:20:13,908 that we came up with here in 10390 06:20:13,908 --> 06:20:14,576 the staff recommendation to 10391 06:20:14,576 --> 06:20:16,976 book current ordinance does 10392 06:20:18,146 --> 06:20:21,146 have two options to reduce 10393 06:20:21,315 --> 06:20:21,983 those setbacks and would apply 10394 06:20:21,983 --> 06:20:24,383 to the increased setbacks. 10395 06:20:25,917 --> 06:20:29,517 One is a variance process so 10396 06:20:29,990 --> 06:20:30,722 that a landowner could apply 10397 06:20:30,722 --> 06:20:31,392 for a variance and if certain 10398 06:20:31,392 --> 06:20:33,260 findings could be made they 10399 06:20:33,260 --> 06:20:36,260 could reuce those or reduce 10400 06:20:37,970 --> 06:20:37,497 those setbacks to not less than 10401 06:20:37,497 --> 06:20:38,231 60 feet. 10402 06:20:38,231 --> 06:20:41,231 There's also a setback easement 10403 06:20:41,334 --> 06:20:43,734 that is allowed which 10404 06:20:45,104 --> 06:20:45,805 essentially is your neighbor is 10405 06:20:45,805 --> 06:20:48,805 granting an easement on their 10406 06:20:49,308 --> 06:20:49,976 property to accommodate some of 10407 06:20:49,976 --> 06:20:52,376 that setback requirement on 10408 06:20:53,276 --> 06:20:55,276 the neighboring property, 10409 06:20:56,148 --> 06:20:56,849 thereby reducing effectively 10410 06:20:56,849 --> 06:20:57,149 the set back from the property 10411 06:20:57,149 --> 06:20:59,149 line. 10412 06:20:59,351 --> 06:21:02,351 So that's already built into 10413 06:21:04,353 --> 06:21:05,570 the current ordinance and it 10414 06:21:05,570 --> 06:21:07,425 was not expanded but it would 10415 06:21:07,425 --> 06:21:08,157 apply to the existing and 10416 06:21:08,157 --> 06:21:11,157 the new set back requirements. 10417 06:21:11,162 --> 06:21:11,763 So there is a provision to 10418 06:21:11,763 --> 06:21:14,163 reduce the setbacks with 10419 06:21:15,197 --> 06:21:17,197 neighborhood neighbor agreement 10420 06:21:19,137 --> 06:21:21,537 if grant ok ok. 10421 06:21:22,406 --> 06:21:23,238 >> um was there any discussion 10422 06:21:23,238 --> 06:21:26,777 but again at the at the meeting 10423 06:21:26,777 --> 06:21:30,278 of the senior staff level maybe 10424 06:21:30,278 --> 06:21:30,881 about consortiums of property 10425 06:21:30,881 --> 06:21:33,281 owners discussing like a 10426 06:21:34,217 --> 06:21:34,915 rezoning to bring their 10427 06:21:34,915 --> 06:21:37,287 property areas into some kind 10428 06:21:37,287 --> 06:21:37,887 of cohesion on what they feel 10429 06:21:37,887 --> 06:21:40,287 is appropriate for their 10430 06:21:41,524 --> 06:21:43,524 neighborhood supervisor? 10431 06:21:45,261 --> 06:21:45,862 Yes, that's that's always been 10432 06:21:45,862 --> 06:21:48,262 a potential avenue for 10433 06:21:49,632 --> 06:21:52,401 neighborhoods for a reason out 10434 06:21:52,401 --> 06:21:52,802 of one of the allowed zone 10435 06:21:52,802 --> 06:21:54,802 districts. 10436 06:21:56,505 --> 06:21:56,872 You know, that can be a lengthy 10437 06:21:56,872 --> 06:21:58,872 process. 10438 06:22:00,575 --> 06:22:04,175 We are looking at other options 10439 06:22:04,310 --> 06:22:04,946 and in fact at the board 10440 06:22:04,946 --> 06:22:07,946 workshop there is plans to 10441 06:22:08,249 --> 06:22:11,249 discuss kind of some other 10442 06:22:12,287 --> 06:22:15,456 options that we MAY develop and 10443 06:22:15,456 --> 06:22:16,124 provide to neighborhoods that 10444 06:22:16,124 --> 06:22:19,124 want to create an exclusion 10445 06:22:19,894 --> 06:22:20,528 zone for lack of a better term 10446 06:22:20,528 --> 06:22:22,528 for cannabis operations. 10447 06:22:24,640 --> 06:22:28,264 So that is kind of in process 10448 06:22:28,368 --> 06:22:29,330 right now ad we do anticipate 10449 06:22:29,330 --> 06:22:32,330 engaging with your board in 10450 06:22:32,405 --> 06:22:33,239 more detailed discussions a 10451 06:22:33,239 --> 06:22:33,640 couple of weeks at the end of 10452 06:22:33,640 --> 06:22:35,640 this month. 10453 06:22:36,730 --> 06:22:39,412 >> ok, yeah, that sounds like a 10454 06:22:39,412 --> 06:22:39,746 conversations probably worth 10455 06:22:39,746 --> 06:22:41,746 having. 10456 06:22:43,449 --> 06:22:44,147 Well, this is kind of more of a 10457 06:22:44,147 --> 06:22:47,147 subjective question but do you 10458 06:22:47,887 --> 06:22:50,589 know really do our complaints 10459 06:22:50,589 --> 06:22:54,189 or what goes into cannabis code 10460 06:22:54,760 --> 06:22:55,427 enforcement have any linear 10461 06:22:55,427 --> 06:22:55,828 relationship to the size of 10462 06:22:55,828 --> 06:22:57,828 the canopy? 10463 06:22:58,497 --> 06:22:59,197 For example, do we get more 10464 06:22:59,197 --> 06:23:02,197 complaints from can't or can't 10465 06:23:02,431 --> 06:23:03,134 be sizes and then one more 10466 06:23:03,134 --> 06:23:03,832 piece on that mixed or outdoor 10467 06:23:03,832 --> 06:23:06,832 indoor or make any difference 10468 06:23:10,608 --> 06:23:13,708 and all supervisor I'm not sure 10469 06:23:13,708 --> 06:23:14,412 that I have seen a an obvious 10470 06:23:14,412 --> 06:23:18,120 trend in that I think probably 10471 06:23:21,485 --> 06:23:22,186 some the larger sites do 10472 06:23:22,186 --> 06:23:24,586 potentially include more odor 10473 06:23:25,422 --> 06:23:26,230 complaints and more traffic 10474 06:23:26,230 --> 06:23:28,423 type complaints and then 10475 06:23:29,693 --> 06:23:30,427 there's various complaints that 10476 06:23:30,427 --> 06:23:32,562 I've seen versus outdoor versus 10477 06:23:32,562 --> 06:23:33,363 indoor. 10478 06:23:33,363 --> 06:23:35,763 Sometimes people, you know, 10479 06:23:36,799 --> 06:23:37,433 prefer indoor because they 10480 06:23:37,433 --> 06:23:38,340 can't see the cannabis as 10481 06:23:38,340 --> 06:23:40,434 readily as the outdoor. 10482 06:23:41,237 --> 06:23:41,771 So I think that's a little bit 10483 06:23:41,771 --> 06:23:43,771 more evenly split. 10484 06:23:44,774 --> 06:23:47,774 But I would imagine that 10485 06:23:48,644 --> 06:23:49,309 the larger canopy size do 10486 06:23:49,309 --> 06:23:51,709 potentially generate some of 10487 06:23:52,781 --> 06:23:53,181 the more of the complaints that 10488 06:23:53,181 --> 06:23:53,615 we receive. 10489 06:23:53,615 --> 06:23:55,615 >> ok, yeah. 10490 06:23:56,618 --> 06:23:57,520 Thank you. 10491 06:23:57,520 --> 06:23:57,852 Thanks brian. 10492 06:23:57,852 --> 06:23:58,184 That's that's all the questions 10493 06:23:58,184 --> 06:23:59,954 I have. 10494 06:23:59,954 --> 06:24:02,354 Terry schofield, thank you 10495 06:24:07,562 --> 06:24:08,196 already supervisor hall. 10496 06:24:08,196 --> 06:24:09,363 >> yeah, thanks. 10497 06:24:09,363 --> 06:24:11,599 I um I think I have a couple of 10498 06:24:11,599 --> 06:24:12,299 questions and then obviously 10499 06:24:12,299 --> 06:24:14,666 I'll be interested in hearing 10500 06:24:14,666 --> 06:24:15,402 public comment before just 10501 06:24:15,402 --> 06:24:16,670 seeing any changes or whatnot. 10502 06:24:16,670 --> 06:24:19,670 But just to get some 10503 06:24:19,103 --> 06:24:19,606 clarification brian, thanks for 10504 06:24:19,606 --> 06:24:21,606 the presentation. 10505 06:24:22,907 --> 06:24:26,507 It's very clear on this set 10506 06:24:26,880 --> 06:24:29,747 backs I guess I'm interested in 10507 06:24:29,747 --> 06:24:30,483 these are any new set backs are 10508 06:24:30,483 --> 06:24:32,883 grandfathering in people who've 10509 06:24:35,870 --> 06:24:35,689 already met the existing set 10510 06:24:35,689 --> 06:24:38,689 backs but might not meet 10511 06:24:38,723 --> 06:24:39,421 the new set backs or do we even 10512 06:24:39,421 --> 06:24:41,893 have any folks who are in that 10513 06:24:41,893 --> 06:24:42,594 position who supervisor also 10514 06:24:42,594 --> 06:24:46,794 way it would work is that any 10515 06:24:47,620 --> 06:24:47,798 operation that's been permitted 10516 06:24:47,798 --> 06:24:50,265 can remain where there are they 10517 06:24:50,265 --> 06:24:51,100 don't need to change anything. 10518 06:24:51,100 --> 06:24:54,380 They don't need to change their 10519 06:24:54,380 --> 06:24:54,671 permit or anything like that. 10520 06:24:54,671 --> 06:24:56,671 They're essentially what's 10521 06:24:57,775 --> 06:24:58,475 called legal nonconforming if 10522 06:24:58,475 --> 06:25:01,845 they were to expand or make 10523 06:25:01,845 --> 06:25:02,646 amendments to their operation, 10524 06:25:02,646 --> 06:25:06,282 then any new canopy or any new 10525 06:25:06,282 --> 06:25:06,916 activities would need to meet 10526 06:25:06,916 --> 06:25:09,916 the new setbacks if those 10527 06:25:10,540 --> 06:25:10,420 setbacks were to apply to that 10528 06:25:10,420 --> 06:25:12,420 property. 10529 06:25:13,790 --> 06:25:14,524 So any expansion or additions 10530 06:25:14,524 --> 06:25:15,570 would need to meet the new 10531 06:25:15,570 --> 06:25:17,570 setbacks in place. 10532 06:25:18,127 --> 06:25:18,794 But existing farms that 10533 06:25:18,794 --> 06:25:19,495 continue to operate as they 10534 06:25:19,495 --> 06:25:21,897 were permitted would now have 10535 06:25:21,897 --> 06:25:22,231 no change or other requirements 10536 06:25:22,231 --> 06:25:23,980 needed. 10537 06:25:23,980 --> 06:25:26,335 >> ok and then a new wants to 10538 06:25:26,335 --> 06:25:29,935 that would be expand the are 10539 06:25:30,238 --> 06:25:33,238 proposing to allow folks to 10540 06:25:33,909 --> 06:25:34,709 expand into their support area 10541 06:25:34,709 --> 06:25:37,976 so if they write so if they are 10542 06:25:37,976 --> 06:25:38,680 if everything's just meeting 10543 06:25:38,680 --> 06:25:40,915 the set back and they want to 10544 06:25:40,915 --> 06:25:41,516 expand into the support area 10545 06:25:41,516 --> 06:25:42,180 they might be then be in 10546 06:25:42,180 --> 06:25:45,180 violation of that set back. 10547 06:25:45,286 --> 06:25:48,689 >> are we in the process for 10548 06:25:48,689 --> 06:25:49,390 that as well because 10549 06:25:49,390 --> 06:25:51,856 the expansion into the support 10550 06:25:51,856 --> 06:25:52,559 area only affects the smaller 10551 06:25:52,559 --> 06:25:55,559 canopy sizes, they would still 10552 06:25:55,796 --> 06:25:56,396 only be subject to the foot 10553 06:25:56,396 --> 06:25:57,130 which they should be in 10554 06:25:57,130 --> 06:25:59,833 compliance with to be permitted 10555 06:25:59,833 --> 06:26:00,734 anyway. 10556 06:26:00,734 --> 06:26:04,170 So the use of the canopy would 10557 06:26:04,170 --> 06:26:07,170 not kick that operation into 10558 06:26:07,807 --> 06:26:08,241 the next threshold for setback 10559 06:26:08,241 --> 06:26:10,241 requirements. 10560 06:26:12,278 --> 06:26:12,945 >> ok ok um there might be a 10561 06:26:12,945 --> 06:26:17,145 comment on that so I know to 10562 06:26:19,752 --> 06:26:20,452 get that clarified the rest of 10563 06:26:20,452 --> 06:26:23,452 the proposal is are basically 10564 06:26:24,189 --> 06:26:24,854 bringing folks into state 10565 06:26:24,854 --> 06:26:27,254 bringing into alignment with 10566 06:26:27,392 --> 06:26:30,893 the state and and then addition 10567 06:26:30,893 --> 06:26:31,563 to allowing more including 10568 06:26:31,563 --> 06:26:33,963 allowing more licenses that 10569 06:26:35,133 --> 06:26:35,733 also would bring us into into 10570 06:26:35,733 --> 06:26:38,133 alignment with the state 10571 06:26:39,503 --> 06:26:42,937 correct it it does the license 10572 06:26:42,937 --> 06:26:43,574 types that are identified are 10573 06:26:43,574 --> 06:26:43,974 available license types to 10574 06:26:43,974 --> 06:26:45,974 the state. 10575 06:26:46,877 --> 06:26:47,575 There are others that the state 10576 06:26:47,575 --> 06:26:51,175 allows but this would line up 10577 06:26:51,316 --> 06:26:51,982 with more of the options 10578 06:26:51,982 --> 06:26:54,840 available through the state 10579 06:26:54,840 --> 06:26:55,850 permitting. 10580 06:26:55,850 --> 06:26:58,221 Ok, and then my last question 10581 06:26:58,221 --> 06:26:58,888 and this seems really minor but 10582 06:26:58,888 --> 06:27:02,910 it did come up earlier and I 10583 06:27:02,910 --> 06:27:02,792 was surprised to see this is a 10584 06:27:02,792 --> 06:27:05,792 requirement of a parking space 10585 06:27:06,329 --> 06:27:06,996 for each the worker. 10586 06:27:06,996 --> 06:27:09,966 So this is actually going 10587 06:27:09,966 --> 06:27:10,766 completely opposite to what is 10588 06:27:10,766 --> 06:27:11,567 going on now in the state. 10589 06:27:11,567 --> 06:27:14,203 I think in san jose they've 10590 06:27:14,203 --> 06:27:14,837 like eliminate their parking 10591 06:27:14,837 --> 06:27:15,471 spot requirements even for 10592 06:27:15,471 --> 06:27:17,471 buildings because they're 10593 06:27:17,770 --> 06:27:20,770 trying to reduce, you know, 10594 06:27:21,109 --> 06:27:21,877 that sort of traffic. 10595 06:27:21,877 --> 06:27:22,575 >> is this something that's 10596 06:27:22,575 --> 06:27:25,447 required or why are we adding 10597 06:27:25,447 --> 06:27:28,447 that there were no parking 10598 06:27:29,117 --> 06:27:29,751 requirements with the original 10599 06:27:29,751 --> 06:27:30,451 ordinance but there was an 10600 06:27:30,451 --> 06:27:32,651 internal policy developed for 10601 06:27:32,651 --> 06:27:33,287 one space per employee that has 10602 06:27:33,287 --> 06:27:36,287 been applied over the last 10603 06:27:36,757 --> 06:27:40,194 three years and that's in order 10604 06:27:40,194 --> 06:27:43,794 to ensure just like any other 10605 06:27:44,128 --> 06:27:44,798 land use that involves people 10606 06:27:44,798 --> 06:27:45,530 that don't live on the site 10607 06:27:45,530 --> 06:27:47,501 that we want to make sure that 10608 06:27:47,501 --> 06:27:48,201 there's parking on site rather 10609 06:27:48,201 --> 06:27:51,801 than parking in the street or 10610 06:27:52,205 --> 06:27:53,106 in the right of way. 10611 06:27:53,106 --> 06:27:55,675 So the parking does not need to 10612 06:27:55,675 --> 06:27:56,573 be paved or striped or curved. 10613 06:27:56,573 --> 06:27:59,209 It just needs to be an area 10614 06:27:59,209 --> 06:27:59,810 that's identified that can 10615 06:27:59,810 --> 06:28:01,810 accommodate vehicles for 10616 06:28:03,683 --> 06:28:04,717 employees coming to the site. 10617 06:28:04,717 --> 06:28:06,352 >> ok, ok, those are all 10618 06:28:06,352 --> 06:28:08,752 the questions for now. 10619 06:28:10,253 --> 06:28:12,253 Thank you. 10620 06:28:13,325 --> 06:28:16,925 >> so yeah I think we actually 10621 06:28:17,396 --> 06:28:18,630 heard in um heidi akst a couple 10622 06:28:18,630 --> 06:28:18,697 questions I have I'm kind of 10623 06:28:18,697 --> 06:28:21,970 really interested in what 10624 06:28:21,433 --> 06:28:22,100 public comment goes and then 10625 06:28:22,100 --> 06:28:22,834 come back and really look at 10626 06:28:22,834 --> 06:28:25,670 where we could make some where 10627 06:28:25,670 --> 06:28:25,903 some improvements might be made 10628 06:28:25,903 --> 06:28:26,568 . 10629 06:28:26,568 --> 06:28:29,407 I mean I have some questions 10630 06:28:29,407 --> 06:28:29,841 little ones like about 10631 06:28:29,841 --> 06:28:30,508 the setbacks. 10632 06:28:30,508 --> 06:28:30,842 I think you made that pretty 10633 06:28:30,842 --> 06:28:32,677 clear. 10634 06:28:32,677 --> 06:28:33,800 It's kind of interesting to me 10635 06:28:33,800 --> 06:28:33,678 though. 10636 06:28:33,678 --> 06:28:34,378 I want to talk a little bit 10637 06:28:34,378 --> 06:28:36,811 more about those setbacks when 10638 06:28:36,811 --> 06:28:37,481 the two parcels stopped to have 10639 06:28:37,481 --> 06:28:40,448 the 30 foot sit between your 10640 06:28:40,448 --> 06:28:41,449 own parcels. 10641 06:28:41,449 --> 06:28:44,449 >> I mean yeah, that's right. 10642 06:29:01,804 --> 06:29:02,505 That's for all structures and 10643 06:29:02,505 --> 06:29:03,205 that's a fire and safety issue 10644 06:29:03,205 --> 06:29:03,939 for access and airflow and so 10645 06:29:03,939 --> 06:29:04,604 no no structure if it's even if 10646 06:29:04,604 --> 06:29:05,274 it's not for cannabis can be 10647 06:29:05,274 --> 06:29:05,941 closer than thirty feet but 10648 06:29:05,941 --> 06:29:06,475 your open canopy grow could 10649 06:29:06,475 --> 06:29:07,109 just be contiguous. 10650 06:29:07,109 --> 06:29:07,509 you wouldn't have to worry 10651 06:29:07,509 --> 06:29:07,876 about that. 10652 06:29:07,876 --> 06:29:08,207 Correct. 10653 06:29:08,207 --> 06:29:08,944 Right. 10654 06:29:08,944 --> 06:29:09,609 I mean that's kind of the ideas 10655 06:29:09,609 --> 06:29:10,209 we want to see them cluster 10656 06:29:10,209 --> 06:29:10,880 that all into one area. 10657 06:29:10,880 --> 06:29:11,444 >> yeah definitely that was 10658 06:29:11,444 --> 06:29:12,114 the hope that it gives 10659 06:29:12,114 --> 06:29:15,114 the property more options to 10660 06:29:15,784 --> 06:29:16,448 you know, meet setbacks in 10661 06:29:16,448 --> 06:29:19,448 the interior of the property 10662 06:29:19,621 --> 06:29:20,221 rather than trying to have much 10663 06:29:20,221 --> 06:29:20,686 larger setbacks for all 10664 06:29:20,686 --> 06:29:21,550 property lines. 10665 06:29:21,550 --> 06:29:23,550 >> right. 10666 06:29:23,858 --> 06:29:24,523 And then just other one I was 10667 06:29:24,523 --> 06:29:25,123 looking through here briefly 10668 06:29:25,123 --> 06:29:25,826 though there is kind of 10669 06:29:25,826 --> 06:29:27,595 interesting like when you have 10670 06:29:27,595 --> 06:29:28,195 an eight acre parcel you're 10671 06:29:28,195 --> 06:29:30,764 going to grow your forty 10672 06:29:30,764 --> 06:29:31,563 thousand square feet right. 10673 06:29:31,563 --> 06:29:32,199 There's not a whole lot in 10674 06:29:32,199 --> 06:29:32,900 there that talks about 10675 06:29:32,900 --> 06:29:33,634 the management of the rest of 10676 06:29:33,634 --> 06:29:34,702 the land that you're let's have 10677 06:29:34,702 --> 06:29:35,536 vacant. 10678 06:29:35,536 --> 06:29:38,772 So I'm just throwing that out 10679 06:29:38,772 --> 06:29:39,573 there somewhere else because I 10680 06:29:39,573 --> 06:29:40,273 mean I want people to know you 10681 06:29:40,273 --> 06:29:42,576 could do multitasks, you could 10682 06:29:42,576 --> 06:29:44,576 graze. 10683 06:29:54,776 --> 06:29:55,770 However we would work that 10684 06:29:55,770 --> 06:29:55,269 right. 10685 06:29:55,269 --> 06:29:55,462 And I want to see a bunch of 10686 06:29:55,462 --> 06:29:55,659 open space left for fire and 10687 06:29:55,659 --> 06:29:55,853 vegetation management that's 10688 06:29:55,853 --> 06:29:56,630 not handled. 10689 06:29:56,630 --> 06:29:56,264 >> that was just a weird thing 10690 06:29:56,264 --> 06:29:56,455 . 10691 06:29:56,455 --> 06:29:56,665 I know we've talked about it 10692 06:29:56,665 --> 06:29:56,861 before and then there was 10693 06:29:56,861 --> 06:29:57,690 the other thing about the mixed 10694 06:29:57,690 --> 06:29:58,591 light. 10695 06:29:58,591 --> 06:29:59,322 I just wanted to be real clear 10696 06:29:59,322 --> 06:30:02,261 when you get the larger parcels 10697 06:30:02,261 --> 06:30:02,961 and you can have forty thousand 10698 06:30:02,961 --> 06:30:05,397 square feet or whatever it is 10699 06:30:05,397 --> 06:30:08,934 that still doesn't limit you to 10700 06:30:08,934 --> 06:30:12,534 the mix light and or greenhouse 10701 06:30:12,971 --> 06:30:13,304 grows with lighting. 10702 06:30:13,304 --> 06:30:14,239 Right? 10703 06:30:14,239 --> 06:30:14,939 I mean is there going to be a 10704 06:30:14,939 --> 06:30:16,908 limitation of that or are you 10705 06:30:16,908 --> 06:30:17,375 going to have 40000 square feet 10706 06:30:17,375 --> 06:30:19,375 of greenhouses? 10707 06:30:21,790 --> 06:30:21,746 >> supervisor work as it's 10708 06:30:21,746 --> 06:30:23,746 currently written 40000 you 10709 06:30:24,215 --> 06:30:27,215 could have 40000 square feet of 10710 06:30:27,882 --> 06:30:28,586 outdoor or mix light including 10711 06:30:28,586 --> 06:30:31,586 hoop houses or those 80 acres 10712 06:30:32,320 --> 06:30:32,920 and above say not quite sure 10713 06:30:32,920 --> 06:30:33,721 how I feel about that. 10714 06:30:33,721 --> 06:30:36,121 >> that's a little overboard. 10715 06:30:36,460 --> 06:30:37,124 Um, so but again I want to 10716 06:30:37,124 --> 06:30:39,996 listen to what everyone else 10717 06:30:39,996 --> 06:30:40,597 has to talk about because I 10718 06:30:40,597 --> 06:30:41,265 think there was another 10719 06:30:41,265 --> 06:30:43,163 question too about when you 10720 06:30:43,163 --> 06:30:43,833 have to have a conditional or 10721 06:30:43,833 --> 06:30:47,305 when you have a use permit. 10722 06:30:47,305 --> 06:30:47,970 >> when I read in here so when 10723 06:30:47,970 --> 06:30:48,704 you have reuse permit it's a 10724 06:30:48,704 --> 06:30:48,938 whole different ballgame, right 10725 06:30:48,938 --> 06:30:49,639 . 10726 06:30:49,639 --> 06:30:51,140 You got to come in and meet a 10727 06:30:51,140 --> 06:30:51,540 whole different set of 10728 06:30:51,540 --> 06:30:52,375 standards. 10729 06:30:52,375 --> 06:30:55,378 And I just for example, I have 10730 06:30:55,378 --> 06:30:56,110 a group in my district that has 10731 06:30:56,110 --> 06:30:58,411 a wonderful facility that 10732 06:30:59,315 --> 06:30:59,915 they've changed over from a 10733 06:30:59,915 --> 06:31:02,315 winery persay to another 10734 06:31:03,151 --> 06:31:06,151 building that might not meet 10735 06:31:06,822 --> 06:31:07,520 those exact thousand square 10736 06:31:07,520 --> 06:31:09,991 foot measurements when we want 10737 06:31:09,991 --> 06:31:10,658 them to use buildings that are 10738 06:31:10,658 --> 06:31:11,393 already there and approved. 10739 06:31:11,393 --> 06:31:13,928 Is there going to be a variance 10740 06:31:13,928 --> 06:31:14,629 for that or how is that going 10741 06:31:14,629 --> 06:31:15,430 to work or could that just be 10742 06:31:15,430 --> 06:31:18,167 taken care of inside of a used 10743 06:31:18,167 --> 06:31:21,167 permit supervisor if the there 10744 06:31:21,836 --> 06:31:22,536 is a thousand square limitation 10745 06:31:22,536 --> 06:31:25,273 as currently written, if your 10746 06:31:25,273 --> 06:31:25,873 board does wants to remove that 10747 06:31:25,873 --> 06:31:26,607 ,then we would certainly 10748 06:31:26,607 --> 06:31:29,343 remove the thousand square foot 10749 06:31:29,343 --> 06:31:30,770 restriction but it would only 10750 06:31:30,770 --> 06:31:33,277 be encompassed inside of a used 10751 06:31:33,277 --> 06:31:33,878 permit that has to meet all 10752 06:31:33,878 --> 06:31:34,247 those other standards. 10753 06:31:34,247 --> 06:31:36,247 Correct. 10754 06:31:36,816 --> 06:31:37,417 A thousand square feet 10755 06:31:37,417 --> 06:31:38,115 reference in a couple of 10756 06:31:38,115 --> 06:31:38,818 different places that apply to 10757 06:31:38,818 --> 06:31:41,218 different activities and there 10758 06:31:41,287 --> 06:31:41,988 was one specifically for retail 10759 06:31:41,988 --> 06:31:44,988 in that use permit requirement 10760 06:31:45,424 --> 06:31:46,580 and if that is directed to be 10761 06:31:46,580 --> 06:31:49,580 removed then that could be 10762 06:31:49,261 --> 06:31:52,261 removed with really no major 10763 06:31:52,665 --> 06:31:53,332 impacts to to the structure of 10764 06:31:53,332 --> 06:31:53,699 the ordinance or the secret 10765 06:31:53,699 --> 06:31:55,699 document. 10766 06:31:56,399 --> 06:31:57,690 >> ok, and then was there 10767 06:31:57,690 --> 06:31:57,770 anything placed in here into 10768 06:31:57,770 --> 06:32:00,472 where we talked about being a 10769 06:32:00,472 --> 06:32:03,472 landowner in good standing like 10770 06:32:03,975 --> 06:32:04,576 your taxes have to be current 10771 06:32:04,576 --> 06:32:05,100 when you apply for your 10772 06:32:05,100 --> 06:32:05,674 application? 10773 06:32:05,674 --> 06:32:08,413 >> I don't see any place we 10774 06:32:08,413 --> 06:32:12,183 added that we did not make any 10775 06:32:12,183 --> 06:32:12,850 changes to that. 10776 06:32:12,850 --> 06:32:15,520 So all of the application 10777 06:32:15,520 --> 06:32:15,753 requirements and submittal 10778 06:32:15,753 --> 06:32:16,117 requirements in terms of other 10779 06:32:16,117 --> 06:32:18,117 permits. 10780 06:32:18,954 --> 06:32:22,554 But if there is no requirement 10781 06:32:23,327 --> 06:32:24,280 for being consistent with your 10782 06:32:24,280 --> 06:32:27,264 or up to date with your taxes 10783 06:32:27,264 --> 06:32:27,931 then that was not an addition 10784 06:32:27,931 --> 06:32:31,368 that has been made to date. 10785 06:32:31,368 --> 06:32:32,135 >> ok, those are some I'll be 10786 06:32:32,135 --> 06:32:32,936 interested to hear the rest of 10787 06:32:32,936 --> 06:32:34,270 the of you guys did a great job 10788 06:32:34,270 --> 06:32:38,308 put this together for me it was 10789 06:32:38,308 --> 06:32:38,608 great reading material he sent 10790 06:32:38,608 --> 06:32:39,342 you. 10791 06:32:39,342 --> 06:32:42,342 >> I just have one question. 10792 06:32:42,476 --> 06:32:45,476 Um and the retail component 10793 06:32:46,313 --> 06:32:47,490 that we're asking for to have a 10794 06:32:47,490 --> 06:32:50,490 framework for what that's going 10795 06:32:53,880 --> 06:32:53,753 to look like rather swarthout I 10796 06:32:53,753 --> 06:32:57,353 mean I don't know like a 10797 06:32:57,459 --> 06:32:58,160 business model or what the what 10798 06:32:58,160 --> 06:33:01,160 the requirements would be for 10799 06:33:01,696 --> 06:33:02,297 how big it could be, where it 10800 06:33:02,297 --> 06:33:02,831 could be, what the road 10801 06:33:02,831 --> 06:33:04,831 standards would be. 10802 06:33:04,866 --> 06:33:05,667 I mean I'm new to all of this 10803 06:33:05,667 --> 06:33:08,369 so I know you guys have talked 10804 06:33:08,369 --> 06:33:09,300 a lot about some of these 10805 06:33:09,300 --> 06:33:09,704 things before but I think 10806 06:33:09,704 --> 06:33:12,106 the retail component is pretty 10807 06:33:12,106 --> 06:33:13,140 new. 10808 06:33:13,140 --> 06:33:13,741 >> so I was just curious as to 10809 06:33:13,741 --> 06:33:16,141 what that looks like. 10810 06:33:16,610 --> 06:33:19,510 So the use permit requirements 10811 06:33:19,510 --> 06:33:20,214 would require full review by 10812 06:33:20,214 --> 06:33:22,614 fire department public works, 10813 06:33:23,314 --> 06:33:23,950 certain road standards 10814 06:33:23,950 --> 06:33:26,950 the class one or emergency 10815 06:33:27,254 --> 06:33:27,952 access road standards would 10816 06:33:27,952 --> 06:33:31,357 then also have to be secondary 10817 06:33:31,357 --> 06:33:31,958 access requirements and then 10818 06:33:31,958 --> 06:33:33,958 any environmental health 10819 06:33:35,940 --> 06:33:37,494 requirements that pertain to 10820 06:33:39,165 --> 06:33:39,865 septic or class to wells to 10821 06:33:39,865 --> 06:33:42,735 ensure that based on the size 10822 06:33:42,735 --> 06:33:43,335 of the activities proposed that 10823 06:33:43,335 --> 06:33:45,335 the infrastructure could 10824 06:33:46,269 --> 06:33:47,139 accommodate it. 10825 06:33:47,139 --> 06:33:50,208 So all of that is looked at 10826 06:33:50,208 --> 06:33:50,843 through the use permit process 10827 06:33:50,843 --> 06:33:51,476 ,the sequel process that's 10828 06:33:51,476 --> 06:33:54,246 reviewed by all the county 10829 06:33:54,246 --> 06:33:54,910 departments including fire 10830 06:33:54,910 --> 06:33:55,511 public works, environmental 10831 06:33:55,511 --> 06:33:57,911 health and conditions of 10832 06:33:58,483 --> 06:33:59,170 approval are developed that 10833 06:33:59,170 --> 06:34:01,417 would apply prior to 10834 06:34:02,751 --> 06:34:03,352 the operation and then it would 10835 06:34:03,352 --> 06:34:06,491 be up to in that case 10836 06:34:06,491 --> 06:34:07,189 the planning commission to make 10837 06:34:07,189 --> 06:34:10,189 a determination which would be 10838 06:34:13,397 --> 06:34:15,797 appealable to the board. 10839 06:34:17,835 --> 06:34:21,371 I think that I've had that 10840 06:34:21,371 --> 06:34:21,605 explained to me multiple times 10841 06:34:21,605 --> 06:34:22,406 . 10842 06:34:22,406 --> 06:34:23,700 I think brian, the fact is I 10843 06:34:23,700 --> 06:34:25,542 mean if you're looking at 10844 06:34:25,542 --> 06:34:26,106 regular retail setups, 10845 06:34:26,106 --> 06:34:28,506 something like some of 10846 06:34:28,778 --> 06:34:32,378 the wineries have that's a use 10847 06:34:32,515 --> 06:34:33,182 permit that's that's that's a 10848 06:34:33,182 --> 06:34:33,947 whole different process that 10849 06:34:33,947 --> 06:34:36,852 you have to go through some of 10850 06:34:36,852 --> 06:34:37,520 the other standing is retail to 10851 06:34:37,520 --> 06:34:41,230 most of the folks that have 10852 06:34:41,230 --> 06:34:41,588 permits only has to do with 10853 06:34:41,588 --> 06:34:42,240 the transportation of 10854 06:34:42,240 --> 06:34:44,240 the product. 10855 06:34:44,960 --> 06:34:48,397 Am I correct there for the non 10856 06:34:48,397 --> 06:34:49,197 storefront retail exposed and 10857 06:34:49,197 --> 06:34:49,598 yes, it's it's not open to 10858 06:34:49,598 --> 06:34:50,298 the public. 10859 06:34:50,298 --> 06:34:52,434 There's not that onsite public 10860 06:34:52,434 --> 06:34:54,434 component. 10861 06:34:56,371 --> 06:34:57,690 It's basically a distribution 10862 06:34:57,690 --> 06:34:59,541 option to allow the product to 10863 06:34:59,541 --> 06:35:00,208 go to a different end user off 10864 06:35:00,208 --> 06:35:03,208 site than would be currently 10865 06:35:04,378 --> 06:35:04,743 allowed with just a cultivation 10866 06:35:04,743 --> 06:35:05,179 license. 10867 06:35:05,179 --> 06:35:06,367 Right, right. 10868 06:35:06,367 --> 06:35:08,115 All right. 10869 06:35:08,115 --> 06:35:10,515 Well, I needed clarification. 10870 06:35:12,520 --> 06:35:12,686 I think it's kind of hard to 10871 06:35:12,686 --> 06:35:15,422 even get it after hearing 10872 06:35:15,422 --> 06:35:16,289 multiple times. 10873 06:35:16,289 --> 06:35:16,957 But I think what we'd like to 10874 06:35:16,957 --> 06:35:19,957 do unless there's any other 10875 06:35:20,240 --> 06:35:23,240 comments is at this time. 10876 06:35:23,427 --> 06:35:23,997 >> sure schofield could ask one 10877 06:35:23,997 --> 06:35:24,430 more quick question. 10878 06:35:24,430 --> 06:35:26,430 Oh, sure. 10879 06:35:26,463 --> 06:35:27,367 Artie, thank you. 10880 06:35:27,367 --> 06:35:30,367 Brian, is there any discussion 10881 06:35:30,636 --> 06:35:31,370 about a limitation to the store 10882 06:35:31,370 --> 06:35:34,370 retail component, the number of 10883 06:35:34,573 --> 06:35:37,573 licenses that MAY be issued? 10884 06:35:38,510 --> 06:35:39,178 I know that it's the kind of 10885 06:35:39,178 --> 06:35:39,878 infant stages of cannabis, 10886 06:35:39,878 --> 06:35:42,745 particularly some of the towns 10887 06:35:42,745 --> 06:35:43,448 and cities. 10888 06:35:43,448 --> 06:35:45,617 There is a discussion about 10889 06:35:45,617 --> 06:35:46,351 the number of established 10890 06:35:46,351 --> 06:35:48,751 retail storefront licenses that 10891 06:35:49,955 --> 06:35:50,185 were out there for circulation 10892 06:35:50,185 --> 06:35:50,755 . 10893 06:35:50,755 --> 06:35:53,155 >> has there been any 10894 06:35:53,591 --> 06:35:54,259 discussion about that? 10895 06:35:54,259 --> 06:35:56,259 Serializable some discussion 10896 06:35:57,929 --> 06:35:58,629 but nothing's been included in 10897 06:35:58,629 --> 06:36:00,998 the ordinance as far as a cap 10898 06:36:00,998 --> 06:36:04,635 or a no because of the use 10899 06:36:04,635 --> 06:36:05,369 permit process is fairly 10900 06:36:05,369 --> 06:36:08,605 involved and they will be going 10901 06:36:08,605 --> 06:36:09,103 through you know, the public 10902 06:36:09,103 --> 06:36:09,773 hearing process. 10903 06:36:09,773 --> 06:36:12,773 So you know, potentially in 10904 06:36:13,760 --> 06:36:13,677 the future if there was a I 10905 06:36:13,677 --> 06:36:16,770 mean you could certainly 10906 06:36:16,846 --> 06:36:17,578 establish a cap now but if 10907 06:36:17,578 --> 06:36:20,160 there was a trend that we were 10908 06:36:20,160 --> 06:36:20,717 seeing quite a few of these go 10909 06:36:20,717 --> 06:36:23,686 through the process, then you 10910 06:36:23,686 --> 06:36:24,418 know that that could be a time 10911 06:36:24,418 --> 06:36:24,818 when when that's entertained or 10912 06:36:24,818 --> 06:36:26,818 discussed. 10913 06:36:27,723 --> 06:36:28,157 But the use permit process is 10914 06:36:28,157 --> 06:36:29,158 not quick. 10915 06:36:29,158 --> 06:36:31,694 You know, it takes a number of 10916 06:36:31,694 --> 06:36:32,258 months and quite a bit of 10917 06:36:32,258 --> 06:36:34,258 financial investment. 10918 06:36:34,861 --> 06:36:35,597 So I think we would start 10919 06:36:35,597 --> 06:36:38,800 seeing a trend develop before a 10920 06:36:38,800 --> 06:36:39,668 lot of them were aproved. 10921 06:36:39,668 --> 06:36:40,335 >> if we saw an influx of 10922 06:36:40,335 --> 06:36:42,735 applications, we'd have some 10923 06:36:44,336 --> 06:36:46,775 kind of look at that that trend 10924 06:36:46,775 --> 06:36:48,775 growing. 10925 06:36:50,845 --> 06:36:51,376 >> ok, we could thank you this 10926 06:36:51,376 --> 06:36:53,376 one more question. 10927 06:36:55,490 --> 06:36:55,780 So yeah, just I just wanted to 10928 06:36:55,780 --> 06:36:56,450 kind of be clear again so if 10929 06:36:56,450 --> 06:36:59,217 you are currently have your 10930 06:36:59,217 --> 06:36:59,887 application but you want to 10931 06:36:59,887 --> 06:37:00,588 amend your application then 10932 06:37:00,588 --> 06:37:02,957 you'd have to come to the new 10933 06:37:02,957 --> 06:37:03,290 current standards. 10934 06:37:03,290 --> 06:37:05,290 Right. 10935 06:37:05,826 --> 06:37:06,570 So is that especially effective 10936 06:37:06,570 --> 06:37:06,794 ? 10937 06:37:06,794 --> 06:37:09,860 I'm still curious about this or 10938 06:37:09,860 --> 06:37:10,564 of forestry road standards that 10939 06:37:10,564 --> 06:37:11,331 we're looking at as is that 10940 06:37:11,331 --> 06:37:13,800 going to trigger that for a lot 10941 06:37:13,800 --> 06:37:14,534 of these? 10942 06:37:14,534 --> 06:37:16,934 >> I think we're still 10943 06:37:17,871 --> 06:37:18,535 determining how those 10944 06:37:18,535 --> 06:37:20,935 regulations would affect any 10945 06:37:21,808 --> 06:37:22,739 any operation. 10946 06:37:22,739 --> 06:37:25,845 But yeah, there is a chance 10947 06:37:25,845 --> 06:37:26,545 that amendments could require 10948 06:37:26,545 --> 06:37:29,215 compliance with the new board 10949 06:37:29,215 --> 06:37:29,915 of forestry standards but those 10950 06:37:29,915 --> 06:37:33,318 might be minimal and there MAY 10951 06:37:33,318 --> 06:37:33,816 be options to for petitions and 10952 06:37:33,816 --> 06:37:35,816 things like that. 10953 06:37:37,122 --> 06:37:37,722 But we're still digging into 10954 06:37:37,722 --> 06:37:40,122 those details that only 10955 06:37:41,257 --> 06:37:41,593 amendment would trigger that 10956 06:37:41,593 --> 06:37:42,393 right. 10957 06:37:42,393 --> 06:37:45,396 >> so an amendment to use your 10958 06:37:45,396 --> 06:37:46,164 support area, would that do 10959 06:37:46,164 --> 06:37:46,764 that or is that that's kind of 10960 06:37:46,764 --> 06:37:49,670 a different sort of an 10961 06:37:49,670 --> 06:37:49,898 amendment? 10962 06:37:49,898 --> 06:37:50,568 >> I mean I'm just trying to 10963 06:37:50,568 --> 06:37:53,300 see what's going to trigger 10964 06:37:53,300 --> 06:37:53,935 these things. 10965 06:37:53,935 --> 06:37:57,374 I think to use the support area 10966 06:37:57,374 --> 06:37:57,972 would probably not because it's 10967 06:37:57,972 --> 06:37:58,409 critical to have is it's 10968 06:37:58,409 --> 06:38:00,430 already there. 10969 06:38:00,430 --> 06:38:00,744 I think it would just be more 10970 06:38:00,744 --> 06:38:04,810 of an expansion of the canopy 10971 06:38:04,810 --> 06:38:04,782 or addition of maybe like 10972 06:38:04,782 --> 06:38:07,918 the retail type uses would be 10973 06:38:07,918 --> 06:38:08,585 really the main area that would 10974 06:38:08,585 --> 06:38:08,985 have the most likelihood to 10975 06:38:08,985 --> 06:38:10,985 trigger it. 10976 06:38:15,225 --> 06:38:15,892 Ok, said any other all right 10977 06:38:15,892 --> 06:38:20,920 then what I'd like to do is 10978 06:38:20,129 --> 06:38:20,796 open the public comment and if 10979 06:38:20,796 --> 06:38:22,998 you would come to the podium 10980 06:38:22,998 --> 06:38:23,799 you will have three minutes and 10981 06:38:23,799 --> 06:38:24,500 if you

06:40:38,826 commercially permitted space. 11051 06:40:38,826 --> 06:40:41,927 It is easy to carve out a small 11052 06:40:41,927 --> 06:40:42,596 area for this type of 11053 06:40:42,596 --> 06:40:44,996 manufacturing and will help 11054 06:40:45,466 --> 06:40:46,133 make sense of our startup costs 11055 06:40:46,133 --> 06:40:46,734 and the money we've already 11056 06:40:46,734 --> 06:40:49,503 spent for these types of 11057 06:40:49,503 --> 06:40:50,337 buildings. 11058 06:40:50,337 --> 06:40:53,337 Additionally, since we will be 11059 06:40:53,473 --> 06:40:54,174 producing ourselves in-house 11060 06:40:54,174 --> 06:40:54,805 during the off season it will 11061 06:40:54,805 --> 06:40:56,943 not involve an increase in 11062 06:40:56,943 --> 06:41:00,543 traffic to our firm so there 11063 06:41:01,133 --> 06:41:01,417 will be no impact to roadways 11064 06:41:01,417 --> 06:41:01,614 or neighbors since we are 11065 06:41:01,614 --> 06:41:04,614 creating a small batch cell 11066 06:41:04,717 --> 06:41:05,451 within a limited space per 11067 06:41:05,451 --> 06:41:08,554 the ordinance there will not be 11068 06:41:08,554 --> 06:41:08,788 a need for additional employees 11069 06:41:08,788 --> 06:41:09,588 . 11070 06:41:09,588 --> 06:41:11,624 My kids and I who live at our 11071 06:41:11,624 --> 06:41:12,240 farm are the only employees in 11072 06:41:12,240

farmers. 11079 06:41:23,535 --> 06:41:24,302 Producing sales on my farm is 11080 06:41:24,302 --> 06:41:24,936 no different than a goat farmer 11081 06:41:24,936 --> 06:41:27,336 creating soaps with their 11082 06:41:27,803 --> 06:41:28,404 ranching biproduct or lavender 11083 06:41:28,404 --> 06:41:30,804 farm creating bath salts 11084 06:41:31,876 --> 06:41:32,477 farming crops comes with a 11085 06:41:32,477 --> 06:41:33,410 unique set of challenges 11086 06:41:33,410 --> 06:41:34,812 weather pests, market 11087 06:41:34,812 --> 06:41:35,613 fluctuation. 11088 06:41:35,613 --> 06:41:38,749 This is not unique to cannabis 11089 06:41:38,749 --> 06:41:39,350 however for us to succeed as 11090 06:41:39,350 --> 06:41:40,810 farmers we need the same 11091 06:41:40,810 --> 06:41:42,481 opportunities that are afforded 11092 06:41:43,685 --> 06:41:44,319 to all farmers. 11093 06:41:44,319 --> 06:41:46,719 Thank you so much. 11094 06:41:50,794 --> 06:41:54,394 You can't patricia urie I agree 11095 06:41:54,931 --> 06:41:55,532 vacher 2nd district and for 11096 06:41:55,532 --> 06:41:58,532 the last four years I've 11097 06:41:58,968 --> 06:41:59,637 designed and processed fifteen 11098 06:41:59,637 --> 06:42:02,271 of these adp's for cannabis 11099 06:42:02,271 --> 06:42:05,271 projects in the last twelve 11100 06:42:05,775 --> 06:42:06,509 months three grading plans to 11101 06:42:06,509 --> 06:42:09,979 over 10000 years so we would be 11102 06:42:09,979 --> 06:42:11,979 considered design professionals 11103 06:42:13,150 --> 06:42:13,679 and there's a consistent 11104 06:42:13,679 --> 06:42:16,679 occurrence that I've seen on 11105 06:42:18,860 --> 06:42:18,687 these projects related to two 11106 06:42:18,687 --> 06:42:20,687 different things here. 11107 06:42:21,990 --> 06:42:22,691 You know one when you're 11108 06:42:22,691 --> 06:42:25,590 dealing with these mixed light 11109 06:42:25,590 --> 06:42:25,758 to choose or greenhouse or 11110 06:42:25,758 --> 06:42:28,758 indoor projects that are very 11111 06:42:28,996 --> 06:42:29,664 different from the other ones 11112 06:42:29,664 --> 06:42:32,664 and the outdoors and they're 11113 06:42:33,330 --> 06:42:36,633 reliant on the power to keep 11114 06:42:36,904 --> 06:42:37,471 these plants alive with power 11115 06:42:37,471 --> 06:42:39,871 outages that we've had 11116 06:42:41,239 --> 06:42:44,839 sometimes three days at a time 11117 06:42:44,875 --> 06:42:47,275 without the standby generators 11118 06:42:48,815 --> 06:42:49,516 these plants die on and with 11119 06:42:49,516 --> 06:42:52,516 the thousand gallons which is 11120 06:42:52,885 --> 06:42:53,586 really only eight gallons on a 11121 06:42:53,586 --> 06:42:56,119 5000 foot facility we can only 11122 06:42:56,119 --> 06:42:56,756 get about fifty hours of 11123 06:42:56,756 --> 06:42:59,756 generator time off of that 11124 06:43:00,192 --> 06:43:00,893 thousand gallon tank. 11125 06:43:00,893 --> 06:43:03,893 And so anything that's larger 11126 06:43:04,363 --> 06:43:05,970 than that and so the frequency 11127 06:43:05,970 --> 06:43:08,970 of propane delivery, you know, 11128 06:43:08,167 --> 06:43:08,867 definitely increases in their 11129 06:43:08,867 --> 06:43:11,867 reliability and the stress of 11130 06:43:12,400 --> 06:43:12,371 trying to make sure you get 11131 06:43:12,371 --> 06:43:13,710 groping. 11132 06:43:13,710 --> 06:43:15,438 So I'm just asking that maybe 11133 06:43:15,438 --> 06:43:16,107 we looked at that for projects 11134 06:43:16,107 --> 06:43:19,107 over 5000 feet that that no 11135 06:43:20,245 --> 06:43:22,645 change from on thousand 11136 06:43:23,181 --> 06:43:23,915 gallons to 2000 gallons on 11137 06:43:23,915 --> 06:43:24,248 the second item is on the water 11138 06:43:24,248 --> 06:43:26,248 tanks. 11139 06:43:26,984 --> 06:43:27,451 There's three different types 11140 06:43:27,451 --> 06:43:29,451 of water tanks. 11141 06:43:31,550 --> 06:43:31,789 These project use fire water 11142 06:43:31,789 --> 06:43:34,789 storage tanks which are located 11143 06:43:35,125 --> 06:43:35,893 typically near the building 11144 06:43:35,893 --> 06:43:38,929 that the tanks are needed for. 11145 06:43:38,929 --> 06:43:39,730 There's mixing tanks which were 11146 06:43:39,730 --> 06:43:43,266 water coming in from the from 11147 06:43:43,266 --> 06:43:43,934 the water storage tank is mixed 11148 06:43:43,934 --> 06:43:46,934 with the nutrients and again 11149 06:43:47,337 --> 06:43:47,937 those are located near 11150 06:43:47,937 --> 06:43:50,337 the cultivation area and 11151 06:43:51,471 --> 06:43:52,175 the water is pumped from those 11152 06:43:52,175 --> 06:43:55,175 tanks into the cultivation or 11153 06:43:55,211 --> 06:43:55,845 the third type is the water 11154 06:43:55,845 --> 06:43:58,845 storage tank which are not 11155 06:43:59,281 --> 06:43:59,882 necessarily located in 11156 06:43:59,882 --> 06:44:02,115 the cultivation area or 11157 06:44:02,115 --> 06:44:02,885 the canopy area. 11158 06:44:02,885 --> 06:44:05,885 The set is located typically 11159 06:44:06,552 --> 06:44:07,289 near where the water well is 11160 06:44:07,289 --> 06:44:10,425 located and if you can get them 11161 06:44:10,425 --> 06:44:11,920 on a higher elevation you can 11162 06:44:11,920 --> 06:44:14,162 save a lot more energy costs 11163 06:44:14,162 --> 06:44:14,793 because you can gravity feed 11164 06:44:14,793 --> 06:44:15,296 from these tanks down into 11165 06:44:15,296 --> 06:44:17,296 the mixing tanks. 11166 06:44:19,500 --> 06:44:20,168 The fire water storage tanks 11167 06:44:20,168 --> 06:44:22,703 they just maintain the water 11168 06:44:22,703 --> 06:44:23,404 all the time and there's really 11169 06:44:23,404 --> 06:44:26,404 not much activity there unless 11170 06:44:26,507 --> 06:44:27,208 there's a temperature really a 11171 06:44:27,208 --> 06:44:30,611 fire use and the mixing tanks 11172 06:44:30,611 --> 06:44:31,309 take a great deal of activity 11173 06:44:31,309 --> 06:44:34,181 because they are enemy because 11174 06:44:34,181 --> 06:44:34,912 of where they're located. 11175 06:44:34,912 --> 06:44:37,912 So they're they're dealt with 11176 06:44:38,218 --> 06:44:38,685 every day because you're mixing 11177 06:44:38,685 --> 06:44:39,419 in these tanks. 11178 06:44:39,419 --> 06:44:42,656 So I'm just looking at when you 11179 06:44:42,656 --> 06:44:43,391 look at these water tanks and a 11180 06:44:43,391 --> 06:44:45,791 setback requirements that water 11181 06:44:46,858 --> 06:44:47,492 storage be considered, you know 11182 06:44:47,492 --> 06:44:49,492 ,something different than 11183 06:44:50,562 --> 06:44:51,296 these other two tanks and that 11184 06:44:51,296 --> 06:44:54,532 we can work within the existing 11185 06:44:54,532 --> 06:44:55,366 set backs we have. 11186 06:44:55,366 --> 06:44:57,268 >> and thank you so much. 11187 06:44:57,268

apply for a 11214 06:45:38,607 --> 06:45:40,809 micro business license which 11215 06:45:40,809 --> 06:45:41,476 will allow us to distribute and 11216 06:45:41,476 --> 06:45:43,876 manufacture craft product on 11217 06:45:44,544 --> 06:45:45,180 site and this does not mean 11218 06:45:45,180 --> 06:45:45,881 setting up a factory with 11219 06:45:45,881 --> 06:45:46,181 billowing smoke stacks for

machine that simply squishes 11230 06:46:00,361 --> 06:46:03,361 plant material to squeeze out 11231 06:46:03,828 --> 06:46:04,498 the oil and most importantly a 11232 06:46:04,498 --> 06:46:06,898 micro business license will 11233 06:46:07,434 --> 06:46:07,801 allow me to transport my own 11234 06:46:07,801 --> 06:46:08,435 product. 11235 06:46:08,435 --> 06:46:11,738 Just a few weeks ago in 11236 06:46:11,738 --> 06:46:12,472 DECEMBER I paid two hundred and 11237 06:46:12,472 --> 06:46:15,542 fifty dollars to an out of town 11238 06:46:15,542 --> 06:46:16,343 distributor to move two pounds 11239 06:46:16,343 --> 06:46:18,578 of my product from my farm down 11240 06:46:18,578 --> 06:46:18,878 to santa rosa for the emerald 11241 06:46:18,878 --> 06:46:19,612 cup. 11242 06:46:19,612 --> 06:46:22,612 This out of town distributor 11243 06:46:22,982 --> 06:46:23,747 used county roads as well as to 11244 06:46:23,747 --> 06:46:26,919 private dirt roads a total of 11245 06:46:26,919 --> 06:46:27,653 four times a roundtrip to pick 11246 06:46:27,653 --> 06:46:30,656 up the product and a round trip 11247 06:46:30,656 --> 06:46:31,523 to return the product. 11248 06:46:31,523 --> 06:46:32,157 I also went to the emerald cup 11249 06:46:32,157 --> 06:46:34,930 so the roads were used six 11250 06:46:34,930 --> 06:46:37,930 times instead of just two. 11251 06:46:38,600 --> 06:46:38,764 There's a doesn't just meet my 11252 06:46:38,764 --> 06:46:41,767 needs is a business because it 11253 06:46:41,767 --> 06:46:42,300 obviously meets the needs of my 11254 06:46:42,300 --> 06:46:42,934 neighbors who one of 11255 06:46:42,934 --> 06:46:45,334 the biggest complaints is 11256 06:46:45,937 --> 06:46:46,638 the traffic and just like my 11257 06:46:46,638 --> 06:46:49,674 rural neighbors I do not want 11258 06:46:49,674 --> 06:46:49,905 more people in my neighborhood 11259 06:46:49,905 --> 06:46:50,608 . 11260 06:46:50,608 --> 06:46:52,941 I would much prefer to move my 11261 06:46:52,941 --> 06:46:53,542 own product rather than have 11262 06:46:53,542 --> 06:46:54,142 white vans come onto my 11263 06:46:54,142 --> 06:46:56,680 property, my kids and my 11264 06:46:56,680 --> 06:46:57,548 livestock. 11265 06:46:57,548 --> 06:46:57,848 So I don't think we're alone in 11266 06:46:57,848 --> 06:46:58,682 that. 11267 06:46:58,682 --> 06:46:58,980 I think we can all agree on 11268 06:46:58,980 --> 06:47:00,980 that. 11269 06:47:01,285 --> 06:47:01,919 So I do urge the board to 11270 06:47:01,919 --> 06:47:04,319 please adopt the planning 11271 06:47:04,755 --> 06:47:05,550 commission's recommendation 11272 06:47:05,550 --> 06:47:05,656 today. 11273 06:47:05,656 --> 06:47:08,560 This will allow cannabis 11274 06:47:08,692 --> 06:47:09,526 operations to say centralized 11275 06:47:09,526 --> 06:47:12,860 on the farm and we'll keep more 11276 06:47:12,860 --> 06:47:13,530 business local. 11277 06:47:13,530 --> 06:47:15,930 >> in

by 11281 06:47:21,673 --> 06:47:24,673 the board that licensed farms 11282 06:47:24,907 --> 06:47:25,641 have already had permitted and 11283 06:47:25,641 --> 06:47:26,410 approved by the county 100 foot 11284 06:47:26,410 --> 06:47:28,410 step back. 11285 06:47:28,844 --> 06:47:29,778 We've complied with that. 11286 06:47:29,778 --> 06:47:30,512 If I use my processing building 11287 06:47:30,512 --> 06:47:33,810 which I would have to apply for 11288 06:47:33,810 --> 06:47:33,715 micro business that might just 11289 06:47:33,715 --> 06:47:36,715 because my micro but that 11290 06:47:37,520 --> 06:47:37,719 building is within that current 11291 06:47:37,719 --> 06:47:41,560 one hundred set back now it 11292 06:47:41,560 --> 06:47:41,790 might not meet the new 11293 06:47:41,790 --> 06:47:44,790 requirements later and that's a 11294 06:47:44,826 --> 06:47:45,526 significant issue and would 11295 06:47:45,526 --> 06:47:48,526 cause a lot more environmental 11296 06:47:48,860 --> 06:47:49,130 and a huge financial burden for 11297 06:47:49,130 --> 06:47:49,861 us. 11298 06:47:49,861 --> 06:47:52,697 I would just like to say thank 11299 06:47:52,697 --> 06:47:53,200 you again

06:48:08,779 --> 06:48:12,510 cannabis farm in district one I 11307 06:48:12,510 --> 06:48:12,685 support the proposed changes 11308 06:48:12,685 --> 06:48:14,685 especially using aggregate 11309 06:48:14,818 --> 06:48:15,254 parcel sizes to determine 11310 06:48:15,254 --> 06:48:15,888 canopy size. 11311 06:48:15,888 --> 06:48:18,288 Current ordinance does not 11312 06:48:19,225 --> 06:48:19,825 allow using two adjacent 11313 06:48:19,825 --> 06:48:22,825 parcels out of the total 11314 06:48:22,995 --> 06:48:23,529 acreage and there are some very 11315 06:48:23,529 --> 06:48:25,529 real life unintended 11316 06:48:26,732 --> 06:48:27,166 consequences to that 11317 06:48:27,166 --> 06:48:29,166 requirement. 11318 06:48:30,769 --> 06:48:31,436 We owned a nine acre parcel on 11319 06:48:31,436 --> 06:48:33,839 which we live in an adjacent 11320 06:48:33,839 --> 06:48:34,639 undeveloped five acre parcel. 11321 06:48:34,639 --> 06:48:37,909 We could only grow twenty five 11322 06:48:37,909 --> 06:48:38,610 hundred square feet without 11323 06:48:38,610 --> 06:48:41,100 merging these two properties. 11324 06:48:41,846 --> 06:48:42,513 Merging properties cost a lot 11325 06:48:42,513 --> 06:48:43,147 of money and once merged you 11326 06:48:43,147 --> 06:48:45,130 have no guarantee they can 11327 06:48:45,130 --> 06:48:45,814 never be separated again. 11328 06:48:45,814 --> 06:48:48,814 Furthermore, once you begin to 11329 06:48:49,153 --> 06:48:49,854 merge two properties you almost 11330 06:48:49,854 --> 06:48:52,854 always end up involving banks 11331 06:48:53,855 --> 06:48:57,455 and that can be a disaster. 11332 06:48:58,520 --> 06:48:58,358 At least it was for us before 11333 06:48:58,358 --> 06:48:58,552 the merger could be completed. 11334 06:48:58,552 --> 06:49:01,364 Bank of america, the holder of 11335 06:49:01,364 --> 06:49:02,320 our home mortgage had to ok 11336 06:49:02,320 --> 06:49:05,320 the mortgage I just assumed 11337 06:49:05,435 --> 06:49:06,169 being we were adding value to 11338 06:49:06,169 --> 06:49:09,172 that asset that they would just 11339 06:49:09,172 --> 06:49:09,839 sign off on the deal but they 11340 06:49:09,839 --> 06:49:12,800 required appraisals on each 11341 06:49:12,800 --> 06:49:12,475 parcel and on the new proposed 11342 06:49:12,475 --> 06:49:14,475 merged parcel. 11343 06:49:16,278 --> 06:49:16,846 So we had to pay for three 11344 06:49:16,846 --> 06:49:18,846 appraisals while doing 11345 06:49:20,315 --> 06:49:21,140 the appraisals the permits for 11346 06:49:21,140 --> 06:49:24,140 our newly built shop reviewed 11347 06:49:24,553 --> 06:49:25,200 and they found out it was a 11348 06:49:25,200 --> 06:49:27,200 cannabis shop. 11349 06:49:45,139 --> 06:49:45,806 The bank then refused to sign 11350 06:49:45,806 --> 06:49:46,407 any merger papers because of 11351 06:49:46,407 --> 06:49:47,740 federal cannabis laws. 11352 06:49:47,740 --> 06:49:47,772 We were pretty stuck there. 11353 06:49:47,772 --> 06:49:48,342 The only way we could proceed 11354 06:49:48,342 --> 06:49:49,430 was to get more a more 11355 06:49:49,430 --> 06:49:49,643 expensive private loan and pay 11356 06:49:49,643 --> 06:49:50,344 off the bank of america 11357 06:49:50,344 --> 06:49:50,944 mortgage which we did and then 11358 06:49:50,944 --> 06:49:51,645 merged the two parcels. 11359 06:49:51,645 --> 06:49:52,312 Let me remind you that nothing 11360 06:49:52,312 --> 06:49:52,980 physical change on the land 11361 06:49:52,980 --> 06:49:53,714 that made up the new parcel 11362 06:49:53,714 --> 06:49:54,413 only the invisible line between 11363 06:49:54,413 --> 06:49:55,148 the two was erased to make one 11364 06:49:55,148 --> 06:49:55,849 and all of that cost us tens of 11365 06:49:55,849 --> 06:49:58,649 thousands of dollars which we 11366 06:49:58,649 --> 06:49:59,219 are still paying for in our nw 11367 06:49:59,219 --> 06:50:01,219 higher rate mortgage. 11368 06:50:02,789 --> 06:50:03,454 I hope this change goes through 11369 06:50:03,454 --> 06:50:04,190 because I don't want anyone 11370 06:50:04,190 --> 06:50:06,490 else to have to go through this 11371 06:50:06,490 --> 06:50:07,126 very unnecessary merging. 11372 06:50:07,126 --> 06:50:09,526 It was very stressful. 11373 06:50:10,429 --> 06:50:10,896 It took two years to get a new 11374 06:50:10,896 --> 06:50:11,697 bank mortgage. 11375 06:50:11,697 --> 06:50:14,700 I was refused for a year and a 11376 06:50:14,700 --> 06:50:17,669 half until finally I got lucky 11377 06:50:17,669 --> 06:50:18,403 and got one because I because 11378 06:50:18,403 --> 06:50:21,403 of our reported cannabis income 11379 06:50:21,406 --> 06:50:22,242 and because we had cannabis on 11380 06:50:22,242 --> 06:50:25,677 the property and to top it off 11381 06:50:25,677 --> 06:50:26,311 the value of this new merged 11382 06:50:26,311 --> 06:50:29,311 property is much lower and 11383 06:50:29,481 --> 06:50:30,810 the combined value of 11384 06:50:30,810 --> 06:50:32,810 the individual parcels. 11385 06:50:32,550 --> 06:50:33,284 So we spent tens of thousands 11386 06:50:33,284 --> 06:50:36,287 of dollars for this merger only 11387 06:50:36,287 --> 06:50:37,210 to lose by estimates from three 11388 06:50:37,210 --> 06:50:37,722 different appraisers over fifty 11389 06:50:37,722 --> 06:50:40,122 thousand dollars in valuation 11390 06:50:40,358 --> 06:50:42,358 on our properties. 11391 06:50:44,395 --> 06:50:45,620 So I hope I made myself clear 11392 06:50:45,620 --> 06:50:45,696 to sum up allowing aggregate 11393 06:50:45,696 --> 06:50:48,960 parcel sizes to determine 11394 06:50:48,632 --> 06:50:48,966 canopy size just makes good 11395 06:50:48,966 --> 06:50:49,700 sense. 11396 06:50:49,700 --> 06:50:52,469 I hope you support the proposed 11397 06:50:52,469 --> 06:50:53,360 ordinance changes and adopt 11398 06:50:53,360 --> 06:50:53,436 the ordinance today. 11399

11612 06:57:47,526 --> 06:57:47,759 increase industry independence 11613 06:57:47,759 --> 06:57:48,494 . 11614 06:57:48,494 --> 06:57:52,300 I request that the new setbacks 11615 06:57:52,300 --> 06:57:52,764 apply only to new applications 11616 06:57:52,764 --> 06:57:55,764 and strongly oppose any changes 11617 06:57:55,801 --> 06:57:56,401 to setbacks for existing farms 11618 06:57:56,401

07:00:08,558 farm is struggling with 11682 07:00:08,558 --> 07:00:08,792 the growth of this new industry 11683 07:00:08,792 --> 07:00:09,493 . 11684 07:00:09,493 --> 07:00:10,930 But we're doing it with honest 11685 07:00:10,930 --> 07:00:10,760 hard labor as commercial 11686 07:00:10,760 --> 07:00:11,492 farmers with slim margins we 11687 07:00:11,492 --> 07:00:12,129 live a modest life currently we 11688 07:00:12,129 --> 07:00:12,863 are allowed nine thousand 11689 07:00:12,863 --> 07:00:13,530 square feet of support area for 11690 07:00:13,530 --> 07:00:14,264 our 10000 square foot farm. 11691 07:00:14,264 --> 07:00:14,931 We find it would be most useful 11692 07:00:14,931 --> 07:00:15,601 if we could use some of that 11693 07:00:15,601 --> 07:00:15,932 area for a mature flowering 11694 07:00:15,932 --> 07:00:16,599 plants. 11695 07:00:16,599 --> 07:00:17,300 After running the numbers we 11696 07:00:17,300 --> 07:00:17,931 see that this would give us a 11697 07:00:17,931 --> 07:00:18,468 chance at actual profit. 11698 07:00:18,468 --> 07:00:19,133 We are supported of 11699 07:00:19,133 --> 07:00:19,802 the reasonable proposals to 11700 07:00:19,802 --> 07:00:20,503 allow farmers to grow mature 11701 07:00:20,503 --> 07:00:22,936 plants in our support area and 11702 07:00:22,936 --> 07:00:23,406 I believe it to be realistic 11703 07:00:23,406 --> 07:00:25,406 and manageable. 11704 07:00:26,973 --> 07:00:27,643 What county does not currently 11705 07:00:27,643 --> 07:00:28,244 offer distribution licenses 11706 07:00:28,244 --> 07:00:31,244 which would allow us to 11707 07:00:31,313 --> 07:00:31,947 transport our own product to 11708 07:00:31,947 --> 07:00:34,347 retailers and third party 11709 07:00:35,350 --> 07:00:35,951 distributors to move our crop 11710 07:00:35,951 --> 07:00:38,887 is a financial burden to 11711 07:00:38,887 --> 07:00:39,621 farmers and lost tax revenue 11712 07:00:39,621 --> 07:00:40,322 for the county where

avoiding 11716 07:00:47,195 --> 07:00:47,862 outside fees. 11717 07:00:47,862 --> 07:00:48,565 In addition, holding our own 11718 07:00:48,565 --> 07:00:50,965 distribution license would cut 11719 07:00:51,432 --> 07:00:51,766 down the traffic on our own 11720 07:00:51,766 --> 07:00:53,766 street. 11721 07:00:55,269 --> 07:00:56,300 Lasley county tourism is an 11722 07:00:56,300 -->

07:02:01,640 --> 07:02:04,134 is still so much work to be 11762 07:02:04,134 --> 07:02:04,835 done in order for license 11763 07:02:04,835 --> 07:02:07,835 cultivators to thrive we have 11764 07:02:08,168 --> 07:02:08,905 to continue to view cannabis as 11765 07:02:08,905 --> 07:02:11,274 agriculture and understand that 11766 07:02:11,274 --> 07:02:12,500 cannabis plays a significant 11767 07:02:12,500 --> 07:02:12,242 role in our communities economy 11768 07:02:12,242 --> 07:02:14,242 . 11769 07:02:15,208 --> 07:02:15,878 It was great to see the past 11770 07:02:15,878 --> 07:02:18,278 year's crop report highlight 11771 07:02:19,148 --> 07:02:19,782 this fact while cannabis only 11772 07:02:19,782 --> 07:02:20,447 makes up eighteen acres of 11773 07:02:20,447 --> 07:02:22,847 harvested cropland, its crop 11774 07:02:23,686 --> 07:02:24,253 value accounts for nearly half 11775 07:02:24,253 --> 07:02:27,253 the total value of all 11776 07:02:27,456 --> 07:02:28,156

winery by 11792 07:02:51,545 --> 07:02:54,545 increasing the canopy size we 11793 07:02:54,748 --> 07:02:55,446 provide license farmers a way 11794 07:02:55,446 --> 07:02:58,418 to increase their

license. 11798 07:03:03,230 --> 07:03:05,423 I strongly recommend that 11799 07:03:06,392 --> 07:03:07,260 setback changes only apply to 11800 07:03:07,260 --> 07:03:07,694 new applications set back 11801 07:03:07,694 --> 07:03:09,862 changes would greatly impact 11802 07:03:09,862 --> 07:03:10,596 existing farms that choose to 11803 07:03:10,596 --> 07:03:12,996 change their cultivation layout 11804 07:03:13,399 --> 07:03:14,330 through increased canopy. 11805 07:03:14,330 --> 07:03:14,667 These changes could force 11806 07:03:14,667 --> 07:03:17,670 licensed farmers to change 11807 07:03:17,636 --> 07:03:18,304 existing inforce structure, 11808 07:03:18,304 --> 07:03:20,304 potentially causing further 11809 07:03:21,707 --> 07:03:22,341 environmental impacts and as 11810

12007 07:08:54,816 --> 07:08:55,350 It would hinder their 12008 07:08:55,350 --> 07:08:57,350 operations to remove 12009 07:08:57,452 --> 07:08:57,816 the ability to complete those 12010 07:08:57,816

07:09:13,298 --> 07:09:16,570 has a great opportunity to pull 12021 07:09:16,570 --> 07:09:17,237 in retail dollars with micro 12022 07:09:17,237 --> 07:09:19,637 licenses near county lines. 12023 07:09:20,307 --> 07:09:20,974 For example, in the case of 12024 07:09:20,974 --> 07:09:23,374 cultivators located next to 12025 07:09:24,375 --> 07:09:25,440 the yuba county line they could 12026 07:09:25,440 --> 07:09:27,444 potentially pull retail from 12027 07:09:28,314 --> 07:09:29,160 yuba city and marysville were 12028 07:09:29,160 --> 07:09:31,416 currently consumers are going 12029 07:09:31,484 --> 07:09:32,118 up to palermo, orvil or chieko 12030 07:09:32,118 --> 07:09:35,118 and they're not willing to 12031 07:09:35,454 --> 07:09:36,155 drive all the way to nevada 12032 07:09:36,155 --> 07:09:36,856 city or grass valley but they 12033 07:09:36,856 --> 07:09:37,156 could just pop over the county 12034 07:09:37,156 --> 07:09:39,156 line. 12035 07:09:39,792 --> 07:09:40,426 Those are not only lost dollars 12036 07:09:40,426 --> 07:09:42,427 to the county but also to 12037 07:09:42,427 --> 07:09:43,228 the farmers as well. 12038 07:09:43,228 --> 07:09:43,860

07:14:26,228 ,the increase in canopy and 12196 07:14:26,228 --> 07:14:28,228 manufacturing do not. 12197 07:14:29,531 --> 07:14:30,265 There are certain areas of 12198 07:14:30,265 --> 07:14:33,265 the county that appropriate for 12199 07:14:33,468 --> 07:14:35,468 cannabis growing and 12200 07:14:37,272 --> 07:14:37,872 the proposed changes will help 12201 07:14:37,872 --> 07:14:40,272 those

12217 07:15:09,302 --> 07:15:11,702 between neighbors and users. 12218 07:15:12,505 --> 07:15:13,139 Some of those neighborhoods 12219 07:15:13,139 --> 07:15:15,539 have canals that prohibit 12220 07:15:17,509 --> 07:15:18,143 commercial cannabis businesses 12221 07:15:18,143 --> 07:15:21,743 if the county wants to be 12222 07:15:21,878 --> 07:15:22,548 responsive to the needs of 12223 07:15:22,548 --> 07:15:24,948 the industry while balancing 12224 07:15:25,617 --> 07:15:26,315 the impacts to 12225 07:15:26,315 --> 07:15:28,715 the neighborhoods, then these 12226 07:15:29,454 --> 07:15:29,854 this peace needs to be 12227 07:15:29,854 --> 07:15:31,854 addressed. 12228 07:15:32,623 --> 07:15:33,424 The county doesn't enforce this 12229 07:15:33,424 --> 07:15:36,558 in ours and it would be up to 12230 07:15:36,558 --> 07:15:37,228 the highways to litigate any 12231 07:15:37,228 --> 07:15:39,628 permits that are approved. 12232 07:15:40,498 --> 07:15:41,196 There has to be a better way to 12233 07:15:41,196 --> 07:15:43,196 encourage cannabis businesses 12234 07:15:44,535 --> 07:15:45,233 in areas that make sense while 12235 07:15:45,233 --> 07:15:47,233 protecting neighborhoods where 12236 07:15:48,772 --> 07:15:49,306 it doesn't well before it goes 12237 07:15:49,306 --> 07:15:51,306 into litigation and 12238 07:15:52,542 --> 07:15:53,343 neighborhood conflicts. 12239 07:15:53,343 --> 07:15:56,343 >> it would be better to 12240 07:15:56,579 --> 07:15:56,877 prevent a problem of further is 12241 07:15:56,877 --> 07:15:57,647 one. 12242 07:15:57,647 --> 07:16:00,514 A little bit of prevention goes 12243 07:16:00,514 --> 07:16:01,315 a long way. 12244 07:16:01,315 --> 07:16:04,551 One solution would be to create 12245 07:16:04,551 --> 07:16:05,221 an overlay zoning district 12246 07:16:05,221 --> 07:16:07,621 exclusion area that clearly 12247 07:16:08,824 --> 07:16:10,824 identify where those 12248 07:16:12,661 --> 07:16:13,362 neighborhoods are and prohibit 12249 07:16:13,362 --> 07:16:13,829 or discourages businesses from 12250 07:16:13,829 --> 07:16:15,829 going in there. 12251 07:16:17,650 --> 07:16:20,650 So sum it up barbara. 12252 07:16:20,833 --> 07:16:24,433 >> ok, I'm sorry I tried for 12253 07:16:24,606 --> 07:16:25,308 three minutes so there are many 12254 07:16:25,308 --> 07:16:28,743 options to to work on that and 12255 07:16:28,743 --> 07:16:31,979 it could simply be a map and 12256 07:16:31,979 --> 07:16:32,613 you know another option is to 12257 07:16:32,613 --> 07:16:35,783 just kind of leave you can 12258

07:17:18,356 We hire local accountants and 12288 07:17:18,356 --> 07:17:18,957 bookkeepers and during 12289 07:17:18,957 --> 07:17:19,624 the construction of our 12290 07:17:19,624 --> 07:17:20,959 building we hired all local 12291 07:17:20,959 --> 07:17:21,626 contractor. 12292 07:17:21,626 --> 07:17:22,260 There's an effort to be 12293 07:17:22,260 --> 07:17:24,260 compliant and efficient. 12294 07:17:24,897 --> 07:17:25,627 We've been constructing 4500 12295 07:17:25,627 --> 07:17:26,264 square foot commercial building 12296 07:17:26,264 --> 07:17:28,933 on a property for the last 12297 07:17:28,933 --> 07:17:29,767 three years. 12298 07:17:29,767 --> 07:17:30,468 The vision of for this building 12299 07:17:30,468 --> 07:17:32,867 has stumbled due to declining 12300 07:17:32,867 --> 07:17:33,404 revenues and inflated 12301 07:17:33,404 --> 07:17:34,690 construction costs. 12302 07:17:34,690 --> 07:17:36,807 Right now it is crucial that 12303 07:17:36,807 --> 07:17:37,608 these current proposed changes 12304 07:17:37,608 --> 07:17:40,844 be designed to help us stay in 12305 07:17:40,844 --> 07:17:41,245 business without raising new 12306 07:17:41,245 --> 07:17:41,909 obstacles. 12307 07:17:41,909 --> 07:17:42,579 As it stands, our commercial 12308 07:17:42,579 --> 07:17:44,314 building was constructed at 12309 07:17:44,314 --> 07:17:44,881 the 100 property setback for 12310 07:17:44,881 --> 07:17:46,881 the existing ordinance 12311 07:17:47,984 --> 07:17:48,718 guidelines. 12312 07:17:48,718 --> 07:17:49,350 It would be discouraging to 12313 07:17:49,350 --> 07:17:49,986 allow new canopy expansion 12314 07:17:49,986 --> 07:17:52,422 under the condition of an 12315 07:17:52,422 --> 07:17:53,122 increase that back effectively 12316 07:17:53,122 --> 07:17:55,858 moving the goalposts on three 12317 07:17:55,858 --> 07:17:56,590 years worth of work an so much 12318 07:17:56,590 --> 07:17:57,190 of our hard earned money please 12319

07:18:04,792 --> 07:18:05,960 new setback requirements on new 12323 07:18:05,960 --> 07:18:05,285 projects only please provide 12324 07:18:05,285 --> 07:18:05,482 existing cannabis license 12325

07:18:10,939 --> 07:18:11,974 is already in place. 12329 07:18:11,974 --> 07:18:12,607 I would also like to comment on 12330 07:18:12,607 --> 07:18:15,700 the proposed expansion of 12331 07:18:15,100

us that cultivators 12335 07:18:19,247 --> 07:18:19,945 cannot survive on bulk 12336 07:18:19,945 --> 07:18:22,116 wholesale alone at this scale 12337 07:18:22,116 --> 07:18:22,684 just like traditional farming, 12338 07:18:22,684 --> 07:18:23,417 some level of vertical 12339 07:18:23,417 --> 07:18:26,417 integration is needed to remain 12340 07:18:27,154 --> 07:18:27,786 competitive by allowing these 12341 07:18:27,786 --> 07:18:28,522 additional license types, 12342 07:18:28,522 --> 07:18:31,258 cultivators can produce a shelf 12343 07:18:31,258 --> 07:18:31,925 ready product onsite that can 12344 07:18:31,925 --> 07:18:34,261 be sold directly to retail. 12345 07:18:34,261 --> 07:18:34,962 Many firms are already 12346 07:18:34,962 --> 07:18:35,626 following this model in

07:21:07,370 ordinance amendment. 12427 07:21:08,573 --> 07:21:09,240 Although I work primarily 12428 07:21:09,240 --> 07:21:09,938 within nevada county, I also 12429 07:21:09,938 --> 07:21:12,338 manage compliance for cannabis 12430 07:21:13,711 --> 07:21:15,711 businesses across california 12431 07:21:16,747 --> 07:21:17,448 and in many other states I get 12432 07:21:17,448 --> 07:21:20,448 to see firsthand the triumphs 12433 07:21:20,615 --> 07:21:21,285 and the failures of many 12434 07:21:21,285 --> 07:21:21,952 different approaches to our 12435 07:21:21,952 --> 07:21:24,352 still

in a 12455 07:21:55,615 --> 07:21:58,615 time when many other legacy 12456 07:21:58,651 --> 07:21:59,387 producing regions and their 12457 07:21:59,387 --> 07:22:01,787 communities struggled to create

agriculture and 12483 07:22:44,727 --> 07:22:45,164 cannabis is medicine. 12484 07:22:45,164 --> 07:22:47,164 Thank you. 12485 07:22:47,899 --> 07:22:48,731 Thank you. 12486 07:22:48,731 -->

07:23:04,348 --> 07:23:05,470 proposed are called minor, they 12497 07:23:05,470 --> 07:23:08,250 will have a large and positive 12498 07:23:08,250 --> 07:23:08,986 impact on the future of 12499 07:23:08,986 --> 07:23:09,320 the cannabis industry in nevada 12500 07:23:09,320 --> 07:23:11,320 county. 12501 07:23:12,860 --> 07:23:12,756 It is my opinion that 12502 07:23:12,756 --> 07:23:13,390 the proposed changes wll be 12503 07:23:13,390 --> 07:23:15,790 beneficial to the cannabis 12504 07:23:16,260 --> 07:23:16,760 industry by streamlining 12505 07:23:16,760 --> 07:23:18,996 the application process as well 12506 07:23:18,996 --> 07:23:19,596 as the opportunity to have 12507 07:23:19,596 --> 07:23:20,230 licensing activities in 12508 07:23:20,230 --> 07:23:22,230 addition to cultivation. 12509 07:23:23,990 --> 07:23:23,731 Frankly, these these are 12510 07:23:23,731 --> 07:23:26,731 the same exact tools that 12511 07:23:26,967 --> 07:23:27,568 traditional farms utilize to be 12512 07:23:27,568 --> 07:23:29,968 a fully functioning farm 12513 07:23:30,907 --> 07:23:31,574 the ability to utilize to 12514 07:23:31,574 --> 07:23:32,241 adjacent parcels to maximize 12515 07:23:32,241 --> 07:23:35,241 cannabis size in addition to 12516 07:23:35,344 --> 07:23:36,900 using part of the support area 12517 07:23:36,900 --> 07:23:38,409 for mature flowering plants 12518 07:23:39,810 --> 07:23:39,782 will greatly licensed farmers 12519 07:23:39,782 --> 07:23:42,351 in these challenging times and 12520 07:23:42,351 --> 07:23:42,751 make it a lot easier to operate 12521 07:23:42,751 --> 07:23:43,352 a business. 12522 07:23:43,352 --> 07:23:45,752 Although I agree with 12523 07:23:46,285 --> 07:23:46,988 the permit holder being 12524 07:23:46,988 --> 07:23:49,388 required to acknowledge their 12525 07:23:50,250 --> 07:23:50,759 businesses in any way I would 12526 07:23:50,759 --> 07:23:53,995 hope that the board would not 12527 07:23:53,995 --> 07:23:54,727 allow any way to make 12528 07:23:54,727 --> 07:23:55,463 additional restrictions outside 12529 07:23:55,463 --> 07:23:58,299 of what is already legal within 12530 07:23:58,299 --> 07:23:58,964 the county and state of 12531 07:23:58,964 --> 07:24:01,964 allowing it ways to dictate 12532 07:24:02,367 --> 07:24:05,967 county code MAY set a negative 12533 07:24:06,400 --> 07:24:06,574 precedent for land use policy 12534 07:24:06,574 --> 07:24:07,241 because even with all 12535 07:24:07,241 --> 07:24:09,641 the proposed benefits there 12536 07:24:10,277 --> 07:24:10,711 will always be pushback by some 12537 07:24:10,711 --> 07:24:11,412 individuals. 12538 07:24:11,412 --> 07:24:14,245 It is unfortunate that I have 12539 07:24:14,245 --> 07:24:14,915 seen so much harassment of 12540 07:24:14,915 --> 07:24:15,549 the licensed farms within my 12541 07:24:15,549 --> 07:24:18,282 community and it's hard to 12542 07:24:18,282 --> 07:24:18,985 understand why considering 12543 07:24:18,985 --> 07:24:21,321 they're doing the right thing 12544 07:24:21,321 --> 07:24:22,210 by following the law, some 12545 07:24:22,210 --> 07:24:22,622 people cannot let go of their 12546 07:24:22,622 --> 07:24:24,622 negative stigma against 12547 07:24:26,192 --> 07:24:26,859 cannabis farming. 12548 07:24:26,859 --> 07:24:27,560 I would hope that by 12549 07:24:27,560 --> 07:24:29,662 acknowledging that the permit 12550 07:24:29,662 --> 07:24:30,327 holders within away it will not 12551 07:24:30,327 --> 07:24:33,399 open the door for the way to 12552 07:24:33,399 --> 07:24:33,999 restrict cultivation and 12553 07:24:33,999 --> 07:24:36,399 cannabis business and an 12554 07:24:38,303 --> 07:24:38,937 already approved ccar in 12555 07:24:38,937 --> 07:24:41,673 the future as is currently 12556 07:24:41,673 --> 07:24:42,405 occurring in my community, our 12557 07:24:42,405 --> 07:24:45,710 nature has been pushing to make 12558 07:24:45,710 --> 07:24:46,344 changes to our current decision 12559 07:24:46,344 --> 07:24:48,744 to restrict all commercial 12560 07:24:49,481 --> 07:24:51,881 agricultural activity on our 12561 07:24:53,117 --> 07:24:53,784 agriculturally zoned lands when 12562 07:24:53,784 --> 07:24:56,186 this is clearly allowed and 12563 07:24:56,186 --> 07:24:56,920 legal in the state and county 12564 07:24:56,920 --> 07:25:00,257 and this is the reason why many 12565 07:25:00,257 --> 07:25:00,921 of us have purchased 12566 07:25:00,921 --> 07:25:03,321 agriculturally zone lands to 12567 07:25:04,194 --> 07:25:04,928 begin with is allowing 12568 07:25:04,928 --> 07:25:05,495 the rules I'm sorry is changing 12569 07:25:05,495 --> 07:25:07,895 the rules to restrict 12570 07:25:08,161 --> 07:25:08,898 commercial agricultural 12571 07:25:08,898 --> 07:25:11,898 activity but allowing all other 12572 07:25:12,168 --> 07:25:12,835 commercial business is 12573 07:25:12,835 --> 07:25:13,536 unreasonable again a choice 12574 07:25:13,536 --> 07:25:16,202 should not have the authority 12575 07:25:16,202 --> 07:25:16,872 to restrict cannabis 12576 07:25:16,872 --> 07:25:19,872 cultivation when it is legal 12577 07:25:20,375 --> 07:25:23,211 based on county and state law. 12578 07:25:23,211 --> 07:25:23,912 >> of course insuk attorneys 12579 07:25:23,912 --> 07:25:26,912 have a tendency of instilling 12580 07:25:27,480 --> 07:25:28,280 fear into residents. 12581 07:25:28,280 --> 07:25:31,316 No one should ever dictate how 12582 07:25:31,316 --> 07:25:31,986 one can earn a living on their 12583 07:25:31,986 --> 07:25:32,718 private property, especially 12584 07:25:32,718 --> 07:25:35,623 not in a right to farm county. 12585 07:25:35,623 --> 07:25:36,321 I think the county board of 12586 07:25:36,321 --> 07:25:36,991 supervisors has a duty to not 12587 07:25:36,991 --> 07:25:39,694 only advocate for all small 12588 07:25:39,694 --> 07:25:40,394 businesses but also for 12589 07:25:40,394 --> 07:25:41,950 the individual property owners 12590 07:25:41,950 --> 07:25:43,230 and their rights within nevada 12591 07:25:43,230 --> 07:25:43,995 county. 12592 07:25:43,995 --> 07:25:44,632 The board of supervisors cannot 12593 07:25:44,632 --> 07:25:47,320 police each individual in 12594 07:25:47,267 --> 07:25:47,999 the county. 12595 07:25:47,999 --> 07:25:48,335 Individuals still have property 12596 07:25:48,335 --> 07:25:50,335 rights. 12597 07:25:51,204 --> 07:25:51,805 Furthermore, there are 12598 07:25:51,805 --> 07:25:52,539 unscrupulous individuals 12599 07:25:52,539 --> 07:25:54,374 manipulating a choice for their 12600 07:25:54,374 --> 07:25:55,275 own self-interest. 12601 07:25:55,275 --> 07:25:55,875 I am hopeful that the board of 12602 07:25:55,875 --> 07:25:57,875 supervisors will support 12603 07:25:58,545 --> 07:25:59,179 the proposed amendments to 12604 07:25:59,179 --> 07:26:01,579 the cannabis ordinance and 12605 07:26:02,382 --> 07:26:03,216 adopt this

07:26:26,804 --> 07:26:29,807 was born and raised in new york 12619 07:26:29,807 --> 07:26:32,807 city within close proximity to 12620 07:26:33,311 --> 07:26:33,978 my neighbors where possible 12621 07:26:33,978 --> 07:26:34,578 relationships and effective 12622 07:26:34,578 --> 07:26:35,212 communication with one's 12623 07:26:35,212 --> 07:26:37,612 neighbors was paramount to 12624 07:26:37,848

12772 07:30:43,120 --> 07:30:45,412 installed by the california 12773 07:30:46,282 --> 07:30:49,282 voters there in nevada county 12774 07:30:50,190 --> 07:30:50,686 and then watching it ever since 12775 07:30:50,686 --> 07:30:53,686 and it's interesting that we 12776 07:30:54,189 --> 07:30:56,589 are continuing to micromanage 12777 07:31:14,976 --> 07:31:15,776 and trying to micromanage our 12778 07:31:15,776 --> 07:31:16,477 way out of something that is so 12779 07:31:16,477 --> 07:31:17,142 rudimentary as far as farming 12780 07:31:17,142 --> 07:31:17,575 because it really depends on 12781 07:31:17,575 --> 07:31:18,212 the weather. 12782 07:31:18,212 --> 07:31:18,846 It depends on so much and 12783 07:31:18,846 --> 07:31:19,480 farmers are pretty much at 12784 07:31:19,480 --> 07:31:20,214 the bottom of the rung for 12785 07:31:20,214 --> 07:31:20,814 having time off to do things or 12786 07:31:20,814 --> 07:31:21,482 making money for having 12787 07:31:21,482 --> 07:31:22,180 literally long life because 12788 07:31:22,180 --> 07:31:22,816 it's very hard work no matter 12789 07:31:22,816 --> 07:31:23,450 how you cut it and I hope 12790 07:31:23,450 --> 07:31:25,319 the county can pull back a 12791 07:31:25,319 --> 07:31:28,488 little bit and realize that it 12792 07:31:28,488 --> 07:31:29,560 is just a crop doesn't need to 12793 07:31:29,560 --> 07:31:29,856 be taxed so heavily. 12794 07:31:29,856 --> 07:31:32,256 It doesn't need to be regulated 12795 07:31:32,256 --> 07:31:32,993 so heavily. 12796 07:31:32,993 --> 07:31:35,393 But what unfortunately after 12797 07:31:36,195 --> 07:31:36,829 going to all the meetings for 12798 07:31:36,829 --> 07:31:37,630 so many years seeing that 12799 07:31:37,630 --> 07:31:40,600 the county was so excited about 12800 07:31:40,600 --> 07:31:41,980 the tax base that basically 12801 07:31:41,980 --> 07:31:43,498 turned it over to 12802 07:31:44,172 --> 07:31:44,904 the commercial farmers saying 12803 07:31:44,904 --> 07:31:45,604 know just give us our money and 12804 07:31:45,604 --> 07:31:48,641 do your thing well we see what 12805 07:31:48,641 --> 07:31:51,276 that's gotten with a lot of 12806 07:31:51,276 --> 07:31:52,100 illegal huge farms, huge which 12807 07:31:52,100 --> 07:31:52,711 for some reason can't be seen 12808 07:31:52,711 --> 07:31:55,747 from the air or from google 12809 07:31:55,747 --> 07:31:58,747 earth at least our county 12810 07:31:59,184 --> 07:32:00,185 everyone else can see it. 12811 07:32:00,185 --> 07:32:03,218 >> so there seems like to be a 12812 07:32:03,218 --> 07:32:03,888 way to finance the whole thing 12813 07:32:03,888 --> 07:32:06,524 with the illegal farmers and 12814 07:32:06,524 --> 07:32:09,524 getting back to the medicinal 12815 07:32:10,328 --> 07:32:11,162 marijuana topic that was voted 12816 07:32:11,162 --> 07:32:14,265 on by the california voters way 12817 07:32:14,265 --> 07:32:17,865 back before it was taken over 12818 07:32:18,333 --> 07:32:19,360 as a financially viable thing 12819 07:32:19,360 --> 07:32:19,403 for so many people to do which 12820 07:32:19,403 --> 07:32:21,403 is great. 12821 07:32:21,505 --> 07:32:22,537 I love small business. 12822 07:32:22,537 --> 07:32:23,273 I love to see all the different 12823 07:32:23,273 --> 07:32:23,507 things that have come out of it 12824 07:32:23,507 --> 07:32:25,507 . 12825 07:32:26,710 --> 07:32:29,376 But at the same time 12826 07:32:29,376 --> 07:32:30,130 the counties just spend their 12827 07:32:30,130 --> 07:32:30,713 every step of the way with

07:37:18,251 --> 07:37:18,951 bring a lot more people that 13002 07:37:18,951 --> 07:37:21,518 would normally drive into our 13003 07:37:21,518 --> 07:37:22,118 neighborhood by doing this 13004

--> 07:39:07,548 I actually live in sacramento. 13065 07:39:07,787 --> 07:39:08,488 I'm here to speak in support of 13066 07:39:08,488 --> 07:39:11,488 the proposed ordinance that is 13067 07:39:11,657 --> 07:39:12,558 before you today. 13068 07:39:12,558 --> 07:39:15,792 One of the main reasons I would 13069 07:39:15,792 --> 07:39:16,462 speak in support that is just 13070 07:39:16,462 --> 07:39:18,462 allowing additional license 13071 07:39:19,429 --> 07:39:20,265 types. 13072 07:39:20,265 --> 07:39:20,899 I am a former regulator for 13073 07:39:20,899 --> 07:39:22,968 the state of california. 13074 07:39:22,968 --> 07:39:23,668 I worked for CHAIRMAN 13075 07:39:23,668 --> 07:39:26,668 CHAIRWOMAN fiona ma when she's 13076 07:39:27,405 --> 07:39:28,390 at the board of equalization 13077 07:39:28,390 --> 07:39:31,390 and from twenty fifteen to 13078 07:39:31,442 --> 07:39:32,243 twenty eighteen. 13079 07:39:32,243 --> 07:39:32,844 Nevada county was one of 13080 07:39:32,844 --> 07:39:34,746 the first places that we 13081 07:39:34,746 --> 07:39:38,346 actually took a tour of of 13082 07:39:38,547 --> 07:39:39,217 the cannabis industry one of 13083 07:39:39,217 --> 07:39:42,817 the major ideas was to allow 13084 07:39:42,820 --> 07:39:43,351 cannabis licenses to have 13085 07:39:43,351 --> 07:39:45,351 multiple licenses. 13086 07:39:45,689 --> 07:39:45,987 I think that's what we're doing 13087 07:39:45,987 --> 07:39:47,987 here. 13088 07:39:49,626 --> 07:39:50,294 That's a great idea and it 13089 07:39:50,294 --> 07:39:53,294 helps it helps the cannabis 13090 07:39:53,563 --> 07:39:54,297 businesses save money obviously 13091 07:39:54,297 --> 07:39:55,290 want to speak on distribution. 13092 07:39:55,290 --> 07:39:57,700 I've worked in the industry for 13093 07:39:57,700 --> 07:39:58,568 some large distributors. 13094 07:39:58,568 --> 07:40:01,204 >> it's going to save a lot of 13095 07:40:01,204 --> 07:40:01,537 money just on the distribution 13096 07:40:01,537 --> 07:40:03,537 costs. 13097 07:40:04,642 --> 07:40:05,375 Distribution can range anywhere 13098 07:40:05,375 --> 07:40:08,678 from ten to twenty five percent 13099 07:40:08,678 --> 07:40:11,678 and that's not even including 13100 07:40:13,150 --> 07:40:13,582 packaging cost a whole other 13101 07:40:13,582 --> 07:40:16,549 litany of costs that a 13102 07:40:16,549 --> 07:40:17,520 distributor could assess to a 13103 07:40:17,520 --> 07:40:17,653 cannabis farmer. 13104 07:40:17,653 --> 07:40:20,822 So this is going to save 13105 07:40:20,822 --> 07:40:21,556 the industry money allowing 13106 07:40:21,556 --> 07:40:24,590 the other license types as well 13107 07:40:24,590 --> 07:40:24,392 to will allow them to to cut 13108 07:40:24,392 --> 07:40:25,930 costs. 13109 07:40:25,930 --> 07:40:28,930 Look at the cannabis industry 13110 07:40:28,329 --> 07:40:28,930 right now is in dire straits. 13111 07:40:28,930 --> 07:40:31,330 It's a tough market. 13112 07:40:32,767 --> 07:40:33,501 There's a lot of issues. 13113 07:40:33,501 --> 07:40:34,102 There's overproduction, there's 13114 07:40:34,102 --> 07:40:36,102 illicit market activity. 13115 07:40:36,170 --> 07:40:36,904 There's a whole bunch of issues 13116 07:40:36,904 --> 07:40:39,940 that are making the bottom line 13117 07:40:39,940 --> 07:40:40,574 very tough especially for small 13118 07:40:40,574 --> 07:40:42,974 cultivators and for small 13119 07:40:43,844 --> 07:40:45,844 businesses. 13120 07:40:47,781 --> 07:40:48,482 So this is a perfect plan to 13121 07:40:48,482 --> 07:40:51,482 allow companies to save money 13122 07:40:51,918 --> 07:40:52,552 and to cut costs. 13123 07:40:52,552 --> 07:40:55,552 Also wanted to speak on 13124 07:40:55,855 --> 07:40:56,689 the traffic. 13125 07:40:56,689 --> 07:40:57,123 I know the traffic has been 13126 07:40:57,123 --> 07:40:59,123 talked about. 13127 07:41:00,590 --> 07:41:00,727 Look at you allow companies to 13128 07:41:00,727 --> 07:41:03,127 have their own distribution 13129 07:41:03,729 --> 07:41:04,396 licenses. 13130 07:41:04,396 --> 07:41:05,610 >> they there's just 13131 07:41:05,610 --> 07:41:06,999 essentially going to be less 13132 07:41:06,999 --> 07:41:07,700 traffic because you're going to 13133 07:41:07,700 --> 07:41:10,100 have less distributors coming 13134 07:41:11,100 --> 07:41:11,670 in to this area to pick up 13135 07:41:11,670 --> 07:41:13,670 product from cannabis 13136 07:41:15,400 --> 07:41:15,742 cultivators and manufacturers. 13137 07:41:15,742 --> 07:41:18,142 So that eliminates traffic 13138 07:41:35,559 --> 07:41:36,393 right there. 13139 07:41:36,393 --> 07:41:37,194 This in my opinion just looking 13140 07:41:37,194 --> 07:41:37,859 at it also is good for 13141 07:41:37,859 --> 07:41:38,429 the environment too because 13142 07:41:38,429 --> 07:41:39,129 you're you're reducing 13143 07:41:39,129 --> 07:41:39,530 the amount of traffic driving 13144 07:41:39,530 --> 07:41:40,261 in and out. 13145 07:41:40,261 --> 07:41:40,497 So that is a good thing as well 13146 07:41:40,497 --> 07:41:41,164 . 13147 07:41:41,164 --> 07:41:41,698 I also wanted just before I 13148 07:41:41,698 --> 07:41:42,366 close real quick on 13149 07:41:42,366 --> 07:41:43,100 the additional license types 13150 07:41:43,100 --> 07:41:43,834 this you know, on the flip side 13151 07:41:43,834 --> 07:41:44,468 it will allow folks to do their 13152 07:41:44,468 --> 07:41:44,899 own processing, their own 13153 07:41:44,899 --> 07:41:45,635 distribution. 13154 07:41:45,635 --> 07:41:46,370 But this is also will help them 13155 07:41:46,370 --> 07:41:47,700 generate revenue too with these 13156 07:41:47,700 --> 07:41:47,673 license types they can package 13157 07:41:47,673 --> 07:41:48,338 for other companies with 13158 07:41:48,338 --> 07:41:50,206 the distribution license or 13159 07:41:50,206 --> 07:41:50,907 with the manufacture license. 13160 07:41:50,907 --> 07:41:53,907 Obviously they can sell other 13161 07:41:54,177 --> 07:41:56,177 other brands products. 13162 07:41:57,130 --> 07:41:57,613 So I really urge you to pass 13163 07:41:57,613 --> 07:41:58,281 this planning commission 13164 07:41:58,281 --> 07:42:00,180 ordinance and thank you for 13165 07:42:00,180 --> 07:42:02,180 your time. 13166 07:42:04,119 -->

--> 07:42:43,220 I'm here today to talk about 13183 07:42:43,220 --> 07:42:43,854 the proposed setbacks for any 13184 07:42:43,854 --> 07:42:46,393 new canopy that's over ten 13185 07:42:46,393 --> 07:42:47,127 thousand square feet in 13186 07:42:47,127 --> 07:42:50,127 the proposed one hundred feet. 13187 07:42:50,229 --> 07:42:53,229 One hundred and fifty setbacks 13188 07:42:54,670 --> 07:42:56,467 will disqualify many farmers 13189 07:42:58,104 --> 07:42:58,704 from participating in because 13190 07:42:58,704 --> 07:42:59,405 most of the parcels in 13191 07:42:59,405 --> 07:43:02,441 the county are sitting on odd 13192 07:43:02,441 --> 07:43:05,441 shapes and they're their step 13193 07:43:06,111 --> 07:43:07,120 terrains and waterways. 13194 07:43:07,120 --> 07:43:10,349 Now if we go back four years 13195 07:43:10,349 --> 07:43:11,830 ago to the cag meeting this was 13196 07:43:11,830 --> 07:43:13,585 an issue and it was agreed that 13197 07:43:13,585 --> 07:43:17,185 it will be 100 feet and nt 13198 07:43:17,252 --> 07:43:20,852 changed because this puts a lot 13199 07:43:21,192 --> 07:43:21,893 out of the game and I wanted to 13200 07:43:21,893 --> 07:43:24,293 clarify about the other 10000 13201 07:43:24,893 --> 07:43:28,493 square feet and I have a 10000 13202 07:43:29,433 --> 07:43:30,340 square a 9000 support area a 13203 07:43:30,340 --> 07:43:33,340 which is already set for 13204 07:43:33,237 --> 07:43:34,171 the 100 feet. 13205 07:43:34,171 --> 07:43:36,306 I have nowhere to go and many 13206 07:43:36,306 --> 07:43:37,107 farmers are like me. 13207 07:43:37,107 --> 07:43:37,541 They have nowhere to go. 13208 07:43:37,541 --> 07:43:39,541 That's it. 13209 07:43:40,374 --> 07:43:41,175 If you increase the setbacks 13210 07:43:41,175 --> 07:43:44,581 we're not going to enjoy it. 13211 07:43:44,581 --> 07:43:45,114 So we're taking two steps ahead 13212 07:43:45,114 --> 07:43:47,514 and one step back. 13213 07:43:48,551 --> 07:43:49,385 I'm grateful what the county 13214 07:43:49,385 --> 07:43:51,787 has been doing but like I said 13215 07:43:51,787 --> 07:43:55,255 ,it's not going to help us at 13216 07:43:55,255 --> 07:43:58,427 the end of the day modifying 13217 07:43:58,427 --> 07:43:59,610 new areas will cause 13218 07:43:59,610 --> 07:43:59,561 significant disruption to 13219 07:43:59,561 --> 07:44:00,229 the environment. 13220 07:44:00,229 --> 07:44:02,867 This will put small farmers 13221 07:44:02,867 --> 07:44:03,496 that needs to grow in their 13222 07:44:03,496 --> 07:44:05,896 support area in difficult 13223 07:44:06,601 --> 07:44:07,333 situations in that will cause 13224 07:44:07,333 --> 07:44:10,805 them to take well they won't be 13225 07:44:10,805 --> 07:44:11,506 able to take advantage over to 13226 07:44:11,506 --> 07:44:14,506 the cost and the environmental 13227 07:44:14,542 --> 07:44:15,760 and environmental impacts today 13228 07:44:15,760 --> 07:44:17,476 I'm asking to adopt 13229 07:44:18,246 --> 07:44:18,946 the ordinance, however, seeking 13230 07:44:18,946 --> 07:44:21,946 to grandfather in setbacks for 13231 07:44:22,614 --> 07:44:23,350 those farmers who

07:47:37,761 history our original cannabis 13334 07:47:39,133 --> 07:47:39,834 ordinance was drafted to try 13335 07:47:39,834 --> 07:47:42,337 and solve some of the problems 13336 07:47:42,337 --> 07:47:45,937 caused by prohibition and in a 13337 07:47:46,374 --> 07:47:48,774 deliberate and I think 13338 07:47:50,120 --> 07:47:53,120 appropriate way y'all went slow 13339 07:47:54,348 -->

complicated 13350 07:48:13,797 --> 07:48:17,234 topic because it seems to me as 13351 07:48:17,234 --> 07:48:17,834 I read the new ordinance, it 13352 07:48:17,834 --> 07:48:20,834 really is an attempt to 13353 07:48:22,174 --> 07:48:22,875 regulate something like what 13354 07:48:22,875 --> 07:48:26,476 the market was when I was very 13355 07:48:26,476 --> 07:48:29,181 busy and it's

these nonvolatile 13670 07:58:08,392 --> 07:58:10,392 distribution industrial terms. 13671 07:58:12,960 --> 07:58:14,762 It's me driving a van three or 13672 07:58:14,762 --> 07:58:15,363 four times a

my farm 13693 07:58:46,359 --> 07:58:47,280 is required to comply with 13694 07:58:47,280 --> 07:58:47,729 commercial building and fire 13695 07:58:47,729 --> 07:58:49,970 standards for our

07:58:53,635 --> 07:58:56,635 you that we utilize this 13700 07:58:57,710 --> 07:58:57,738 existing space when it's 13701 07:58:57,738 --> 07:58:58,406 underutilized during much of 13702 07:58:58,406 --> 07:59:01,390 the year for these ancillary 13703 07:59:01,390 --> 07:59:01,742 and supportive uses. 13704 07:59:01,742 --> 07:59:04,142 These additional license types 13705 07:59:04,745 --> 07:59:05,446 are truly administrative in 13706 07:59:05,446 --> 07:59:06,180 nature and would simply allow 13707 07:59:06,180 --> 07:59:09,490 farms to control the processing 13708 07:59:09,490 --> 07:59:09,750 and packaging of their own 13709 07:59:09,750 --> 07:59:12,750 products without having to use 13710 07:59:13,530 --> 07:59:13,718 a third party like myself. 13711 07:59:13,718 --> 07:59:16,118 This is obviously consistent 13712 07:59:17,257 --> 07:59:20,257 with their ag operations apple 13713 07:59:20,827 --> 07:59:21,528 orchards making cut apples and 13714 07:59:21,528 --> 07:59:23,896 packaging them or making cider 13715 07:59:23,896 --> 07:59:24,564 some of these things and we're 13716 07:59:24,564 --> 07:59:27,564 subject to our building fire 13717 07:59:27,933 --> 07:59:28,534 land use secret standards 13718 07:59:28,534 --> 07:59:30,934 already at this point. 13719 07:59:31,971 --> 07:59:32,671 So this is well within your 13720 07:59:32,671 --> 07:59:33,372

08:00:04,670 --> 08:00:07,700 founding member of the what is 13738 08:00:07,700 --> 08:00:07,804 now the nevada cannabis 13739 08:00:07,804 --> 08:00:11,700 alliance and I remember many of 13740 08:00:11,700 --> 08:00:11,708 you siting side by side 13741 08:00:11,708 --> 08:00:12,442 meetings and for the most part 13742 08:00:12,442 --> 08:00:14,577 I think I went through my notes 13743 08:00:14,577 --> 08:00:15,311 away because a lot of people 13744 08:00:15,311 --> 08:00:18,312 have spoken to this and I feel 13745 08:00:18,312 --> 08:00:19,148 I'm a little rusty. 13746 08:00:19,148 --> 08:00:22,510 I mean I was listening to this 13747 08:00:22,510 --> 08:00:22,618 whole meeting is just amazing 13748 08:00:22,618 --> 08:00:25,180 how articulate and how 13749 08:00:26,122 --> 08:00:26,753 professional members of 13750 08:00:26,753 --> 08:00:27,890 the cannabis industry have 13751 08:00:27,890 --> 08:00:29,890 become. 13752 08:00:30,259 --> 08:00:30,959 I remember 2012 2014

evolution 13756 08:00:37,866 --> 08:00:38,700 has been so astounding. 13757 08:00:38,700 --> 08:00:42,537 I think most of these poc are 13758 08:00:42,537 --> 08:00:43,304 much more articulate than I am 13759 08:00:43,304 --> 08:00:46,541 these days and I think we're at 13760 08:00:46,541 --> 08:00:47,175 a very important point here as 13761 08:00:47,175 --> 08:00:50,175 we continue to move these 13762 08:00:50,509 --> 08:00:50,878 regulations, this process 13763 08:00:50,878 --> 08:00:51,479 forward. 13764 08:00:51,479 --> 08:00:53,648 As we know there's a lot 13765 08:00:53,648 -->

the building industry where 13769 08:00:58,149 --> 08:01:01,221 every three or four years we 13770 08:01:01,221 --> 08:01:01,922 see the regular updates, 13771 08:01:01,922 --> 08:01:02,656 regulatory updates and we have 13772 08:01:02,656 --> 08:01:05,258 to continue to evolve with them 13773 08:01:05,258 --> 08:01:05,959 and we're at another point 13774 08:01:05,959 --> 08:01:09,329 where it's happening and I and 13775 08:01:09,329 --> 08:01:10,630 I just have to say just 13776 08:01:10,630 --> 08:01:10,697 watching what's happened across 13777 08:01:10,697 --> 08:01:11,364 the state of

08:06:00,567 today one regarding the testing 13958 08:06:01,437 --> 08:06:02,104 and what's required for 13959 08:06:02,104 --> 08:06:02,838 the chemicals for cannabis. 13960 08:06:02,838 -->

08:06:12,110 standards just just so that's 13964 08:06:12,147 --> 08:06:14,147 understood. 13965 08:06:16,615 --> 08:06:17,185 I think one thing that's really 13966 08:06:17,185 --> 08:06:19,185 important about what's 13967 08:06:19,251 --> 08:06:19,852 happening here today is to 13968 08:06:19,852 --> 08:06:22,252 hopefully negate some of 13969 08:06:23,191 --> 08:06:24,250 the need or the fact that there 13970 08:06:24,250 --> 08:06:27,361 are so many illegal gross and I 13971 08:06:27,361 --> 08:06:27,962 want to thank everybody for 13972 08:06:27,962 --> 08:06:30,362 being part of

08:06:39,370 I think that's really important 13980 08:06:39,370 --> 08:06:40,400 when it comes to illegal 13981 08:06:40,400 --> 08:06:42,843 activity and I think that is 13982 08:06:42,843 --> 08:06:43,510 something we should all be 13983 08:06:43,510 --> 08:06:46,510 focused on in both estuaries 13984 08:06:47,880 --> 08:06:48,715 and in the county in general. 13985 08:06:48,715 -->

any sales 13992 08:07:02,292 --> 08:07:02,892 whatsoever in the state of 13993 08:07:02,892 --> 08:07:04,892 california still require 13994 08:07:05,630 --> 08:07:08,300 testing the same really 13995 08:07:08,731 --> 08:07:11,131 difficult testing to pass. 13996 08:07:12,437 --> 08:07:13,139 One thing that's specific to my 13997 08:07:13,139 --> 08:07:13,805 situation one of my properties 13998 08:07:13,805 --> 08:07:16,805 is the oak management plan. 13999 08:07:16,874 --> 08:07:17,510 The idea of replacing oak trees 14000 08:07:17,510 --> 08:07:20,911 over like two thirds of my 14001 08:07:20,911 --> 08:07:24,348 property is a forest enough for 14002 08:07:24,348 --> 08:07:25,182 us in our neighborhood. 14003 08:07:25,182 --> 08:07:26,183 We have a lot of fires. 14004 08:07:26,183

08:07:33,156 The idea of replant oaks 14008 08:07:33,156 --> 08:07:33,857 doesn't necessarily make a lot 14009 08:07:33,857 --> 08:07:36,726 of sense to me, especially if 14010 08:07:36,726 --> 08:07:37,461 it's every place replant 14011 08:07:37,461 --> 08:07:40,461 something in those spaces which 14012 08:07:40,830 --> 08:07:41,164 might help with the visual 14013 08:07:41,164 --> 08:07:43,164 impact. 14014 08:07:43,700 --> 08:07:44,434 So the idea of being able to 14015 08:07:44,434 --> 08:07:47,837 allot some of this to like this 14016 08:07:47,837 --> 08:07:51,437 you would trust then I think 14017 08:07:51,907 --> 08:07:52,606 that would be very valuable 14018 08:07:52,606 --> 08:07:54,643 which was allowed when I first 14019 08:07:54,643 --> 08:07:55,378 did my first license but now 14020 08:07:55,378 --> 08:07:55,878 when I did my second one that's 14021 08:07:55,878 --> 08:07:58,278 not it for me. 14022 08:08:02,517 --> 08:08:03,418 Thank thank you. 14023

08:09:08,644 movement on the ridge which is 14064 08:09:08,644 --> 08:09:09,380 deeply embedded in our region's 14065 08:09:09,380 --> 08:09:09,780 history with luminaries such as 14066 08:09:09,780 --> 08:09:11,780 amigo bob. 14067 08:09:12,717 --> 08:09:13,317 We are a certified regenerative 14068 08:09:13,317 --> 08:09:14,190 farm and grow our plants 14069 08:09:14,190 --> 08:09:16,621 directly in the native living 14070 08:09:16,621 --> 08:09:17,355 soil. 14071 08:09:17,355 --> 08:09:18,550 We believe these practices are 14072 08:09:18,550 --> 08:09:20,958 vital to the future of all 14073 08:09:20,958 --> 08:09:21,659 types of commercial farming and 14074 08:09:21,659 --> 08:09:23,727 it's imperative to spread this 14075 08:09:23,727 --> 08:09:24,559 message to the public. 14076 08:09:24,559 --> 08:09:27,664 Nevada county is an area known 14077 08:09:27,664 --> 08:09:28,331 for its rich terroir an unique 14078 08:09:28,331 --> 08:09:29,650 growing climate which would 14079 08:09:29,650 --> 08:09:31,835 make it a great destination for 14080 08:09:31,835 --> 08:09:32,535 tourists interested the unique 14081 08:09:32,535 --> 08:09:35,535 characteristics of our area in 14082 08:09:35,972 --> 08:09:36,673 my community on the san juan 14083 08:09:36,673 --> 08:09:39,709 ridge there is a dire need for 14084 08:09:39,709 --> 08:09:40,760 economic diversification and 14085 08:09:40,760 --> 08:09:40,910 stimulus. 14086 08:09:40,910 --> 08:09:43,813 It is my plan for this business 14087 08:09:43,813 --> 08:09:44,477 model to be part the economic 14088 08:09:44,477 --> 08:09:46,815 resurgence on the ridge that 14089 08:09:46,815 --> 08:09:47,516 can provide tourism experiences 14090 08:09:47,516 --> 08:09:47,950 ,employment opportunities and 14091 08:09:47,950 --> 08:09:49,950 tax revenue. 14092 08:09:51,860 --> 08:09:51,687 I also hope to partner with 14093 08:09:51,687 --> 08:09:52,287 ridge based non cannabis 14094 08:09:52,287 --> 08:09:54,687 businesses such as local 14095 08:09:55,290 --> 08:09:55,690 ceramic makers, flower farmers 14096 08:09:55,690 --> 08:09:57,690 and chefs. 14097 08:09:58,793 --> 08:09:59,494 Cannabis farmers need a pathway 14098 08:09:59,494 --> 08:10:02,494 to host visitors, provide farm 14099 08:10:02,730 --> 08:10:03,431 tours and then sell directly to 14100 08:10:03,431 --> 08:10:04,132 these consumers while they are 14101 08:10:04,132 --> 08:10:07,234 on the farm just as any other 14102 08:10:07,234 --> 08:10:07,635 traditional such as a winery is 14103 08:10:07,635 --> 08:10:09,635 able to do. 14104 08:10:11,500 --> 08:10:11,572 My current business model is to 14105 08:10:11,572 --> 08:10:12,237 sell bulk wholesale. 14106 08:10:12,237 --> 08:10:14,275 However, given the fall in 14107 08:10:14,275 --> 08:10:17,875 prices it is imperative I adopt 14108 08:10:18,450 --> 08:10:18,676 my business plans without 14109 08:10:18,676 --> 08:10:19,379 the ordinance adoption to 14110 08:10:19,379 --> 08:10:22,115 include a micro business with 14111 08:10:22,115 --> 08:10:22,880 retail model there is not a 14112 08:10:22,880 --> 08:10:23,481 clear path for me to afford to 14113 08:10:23,481 --> 08:10:25,881 keep the business going 14114 08:10:26,317 --> 08:10:27,200 changing the ordinance to allow 14115 08:10:27,200 --> 08:10:27,654 a canabis micro business with 14116 08:10:27,654 --> 08:10:30,390 a retail license would be 14117 08:10:30,390 --> 08:10:30,926 beneficial to both my family 14118 08:10:30,926 --> 08:10:32,926 and the community. 14119 08:10:33,927 --> 08:10:34,627 It would provide an opportunity 14120 08:10:34,627 --> 08:10:35,359 for me to convert the property 14121 08:10:35,359 --> 08:10:38,166 into a destination for tourists 14122 08:10:38,166 --> 08:10:38,898 interested in the unique 14123 08:10:38,898 --> 08:10:41,898 characteristics of the area, it 14124 08:10:41,998 --> 08:10:42,735 would provide a valuable 14125 08:10:42,735 --> 08:10:43,469 service to the community and it 14126 08:10:43,469 --> 08:10:45,869 would stimulate economic growth 14127 08:10:45,938 --> 08:10:46,605 on the ridge. 14128 08:10:46,605 --> 08:10:47,236 It is important that 14129 08:10:47,236 --> 08:10:50,750 the conditions of the use 14130 08:10:50,750 --> 08:10:50,575 permit dictate the size of 14131 08:10:50,575 --> 08:10:51,309 the retail space. 14132 08:10:51,309 --> 08:10:54,212 Currently there is a size limit 14133 08:10:54,212 --> 08:10:54,846 for retail that would count 14134 08:10:54,846 --> 08:10:55,580 against my support area. 14135 08:10:55,580 --> 08:10:58,313 This does not make sense for a 14136 08:10:58,313 --> 08:10:58,914 location such as mine that is 14137 08:10:58,914 --> 08:11:01,914 already built out as an 14138 08:11:01,917 --> 08:11:02,555 existing winery. 14139 08:11:02,555 --> 08:11:03,220 Considering that the micro 14140 08:11:03,220 --> 08:11:04,990 business with retail license 14141 08:11:04,990 --> 08:11:05,656 will be subject to a used 14142 08:11:05,656 --> 08:11:06,354 permit, please do not put 14143 08:11:06,354 --> 08:11:08,754 overly restrictive burdens on 14144 08:11:09,600 --> 08:11:09,958 the farms. 14145 08:11:09,958 --> 08:11:10,661 I urge the board to adopt these 14146 08:11:10,661 --> 08:11:13,194 changes before you today with 14147 08:11:13,194 --> 08:11:13,932 the modification to allow 14148 08:11:13,932 --> 08:11:16,934 the conditions of the permit to 14149 08:11:16,934 --> 08:11:17,301 dictate the size of the micro 14150 08:11:17,301 --> 08:11:18,100 business. 14151 08:11:18,100 --> 08:11:20,401 >> thank you scott galbraith. 14152 08:11:21,710 --> 08:11:21,471 Thank maggie. 14153 08:11:21,471 --> 08:11:22,272 All right. 14154 08:11:22,272 --> 08:11:25,341 At this point I'm going to 14155 08:11:25,341 --> 08:11:28,941 close a public comment and I 14156 08:11:28,978 --> 08:11:29,545 want to thank everybody here 14157 08:11:29,545 --> 08:11:29,979 today for a good civil 14158 08:11:29,979 --> 08:11:31,979 conversation. 14159 08:11:32,512 --> 08:11:35,952 I think we had some good 14160 08:11:35,952 --> 08:11:37,952 information brought forward, 14161 08:11:40,422 --> 08:11:41,900 brian at one point we had 14162 08:11:41,900 --> 08:11:41,490 the setbacks that we want to 14163 08:11:41,490 --> 08:11:43,292 ask about. 14164 08:11:43,292 --> 08:11:43,990 I don't think this change 14165 08:11:43,990 --> 08:11:46,990 the setbacks but maybe clarify 14166 08:11:47,329 --> 08:11:51,660 that a little bit and then also 14167 08:11:51,660 --> 08:11:51,430 somebody asked about fees and 14168 08:11:51,430 --> 08:11:52,100 revenues. 14169 08:11:52,100 --> 08:11:55,537 We don't make money on fees 14170 08:11:55,537 --> 08:11:56,204 that pays for what it costs 14171 08:11:56,204 --> 08:11:59,204 the process to go through. 14172 08:11:59,471 --> 08:12:00,174 We don't make money on taxes on 14173 08:12:00,174 --> 08:12:03,544 cannabis not nearly as much as 14174 08:12:03,544 --> 08:12:06,380 we had hoped to but that amount 14175 08:12:06,380 --> 08:12:07,470 is available online through our 14176 08:12:07,470 --> 08:12:09,350 budget, through our treasury 14177 08:12:09,350 --> 08:12:12,950 reports that come out and then 14178 08:12:13,653 --> 08:12:14,388 also I I think probably within 14179 08:12:14,388 --> 08:12:17,257 the questions of the rest of 14180 08:12:17,257 --> 08:12:17,958 the board will get back into 14181 08:12:17,958 --> 08:12:21,191 retail because I do think that 14182 08:12:21,191 --> 08:12:21,895 that's still a bit confusing to 14183 08:12:21,895 --> 08:12:25,495 everybody or so with that I'll 14184 08:12:42,800 --> 08:12:42,881 bring it back to the board. 14185 08:12:42,881 --> 08:12:43,684 And as we've been doing this 14186 08:12:43,684 --> 08:12:44,347 all day long party, are you 14187 08:12:44,347 --> 08:12:44,817 still with us and would you 14188 08:12:44,817 --> 08:12:45,348 like to start? 14189 08:12:45,348 --> 08:12:45,748 Yep, I'm here. 14190 08:12:45,748 --> 08:12:46,385 Thank you. 14191 08:12:46,385 --> 08:12:46,749 Appreciate all the public 14192 08:12:46,749 --> 08:12:47,420 comment. 14193 08:12:47,420 --> 08:12:47,719 A lot of good information on 14194 08:12:47,719 --> 08:12:48,420 see. 14195 08:12:48,420 --> 08:12:48,951 >> I think I'm working there. 14196 08:12:48,951 --> 08:12:49,587 There you go. 14197 08:12:49,587 --> 08:12:50,388 Ok, thanks. 14198 08:12:50,388 --> 08:12:51,787 You know I think in general I'm 14199 08:12:51,787 --> 08:12:52,457 supportive of the audience. 14200 08:12:52,457 --> 08:12:53,188 i do think that there's a 14201 08:12:53,188 --> 08:12:55,626 couple of things that are still 14202 08:12:55,626 --> 08:12:57,626 a little murky. 14203 08:12:59,563 --> 08:13:00,197 The retail portion and also 14204 08:13:00,197 --> 08:13:02,597 the exclusionary zones and 14205 08:13:03,801 --> 08:13:04,501 the legality of that which I 14206 08:13:04,501 --> 08:13:07,370 think we MAY want to bring up 14207 08:13:07,370 --> 08:13:08,500 at a different meeting 14208 08:13:08,500 --> 08:13:10,405 potentially the workshop I 14209 08:13:11,706 --> 08:13:15,306 think the mixed can be sizes 14210 08:13:15,678 --> 08:13:16,479 that are outlined in the staff 14211 08:13:16,479 --> 08:13:17,315 report are pretty big for me. 14212 08:13:17,315 --> 08:13:18,815 I'm a little uncomfortable with 14213 08:13:18,815 --> 08:13:19,415 the size of those and I think 14214 08:13:19,415 --> 08:13:21,415 they're incongruent with 14215 08:13:22,749 --> 08:13:23,350 the type of character that we 14216 08:13:23,350 --> 08:13:26,722 want to have in the in 14217 08:13:26,722 --> 08:13:27,423 the county having flown over a 14218 08:13:27,423 --> 08:13:30,759 lot of the county and look 14219 08:13:30,759 --> 08:13:31,160 specifically at that type of 14220 08:13:31,160 --> 08:13:33,160 operation. 14221 08:13:34,463 --> 08:13:34,930 I do support the different 14222 08:13:34,930 --> 08:13:35,628 license types. 14223 08:13:35,628 --> 08:13:35,897 I think it's the right way to 14224 08:13:35,897 --> 08:13:37,897 go. 14225 08:13:38,934 --> 08:13:39,501 I've talked about that since 14226 08:13:39,501 --> 08:13:41,769 the concept came up. 14227 08:13:41,769 --> 08:13:44,769 I think it's beneficial to 14228 08:13:45,542 --> 08:13:46,207 the farmers are the economic 14229 08:13:46,207 --> 08:13:46,875 growth of our community and 14230 08:13:46,875 --> 08:13:49,275 the diversification of that 14231 08:13:50,178 --> 08:13:53,514 type of activity in the in 14232 08:13:53,514 --> 08:13:54,146 the business landscape that 14233 08:13:54,146 --> 08:13:56,548 we're looking for here in 14234 08:13:56,548 --> 08:13:57,382 nevada county. 14235 08:13:57,382 --> 08:13:57,851 I do support the secret 14236 08:13:57,851 --> 08:13:59,851 determination. 14237 08:14:00,487 --> 08:14:01,121 I like the presentation on I 14238 08:14:01,121 --> 08:14:04,121 think there's a lot of 14239 08:14:04,658 --> 08:14:05,325 complexity particularly 14240 08:14:05,325 --> 08:14:07,325 the environmental protection 14241 08:14:08,595 --> 08:14:09,262 aspects of changes we make to 14242 08:14:09,262 --> 08:14:09,996 be looked at carefully and I 14243 08:14:09,996 --> 08:14:12,396 having reviewed the information 14244 08:14:12,934 --> 08:14:13,633 and I'm familiar with that type 14245 08:14:13,633 --> 08:14:16,569 of process I think it was done 14246 08:14:16,569 --> 08:14:17,270 very well and I support a 14247 08:14:17,270 --> 08:14:17,570 secret determination that was 14248 08:14:17,570 --> 08:14:19,570 made. 14249 08:14:20,640 --> 08:14:21,207 I don't see significant changes 14250 08:14:21,207 --> 08:14:21,841 from current ordinance 14251 08:14:21,841 --> 08:14:24,241 affecting our changes that 14252 08:14:26,645 --> 08:14:27,513 we're looking at here today and 14253 08:14:27,513 --> 08:14:31,180 I do think I'd like to talk or 14254 08:14:31,180 -->

08:14:37,889 the size of a micro business 14258 08:14:37,889 --> 08:14:41,489 and if staff had any specific 14259 08:14:41,759 --> 08:14:42,460 ideas or maybe my colleagues on 14260 08:14:42,460 --> 08:14:43,960 the more specific ideas on how 14261 08:14:43,960 --> 08:14:45,963 that MAY work and and what 14262 08:14:45,963 --> 08:14:49,563 the timing and how that MAY 14263 08:14:49,865 --> 08:14:50,535 actually be applied to people 14264 08:14:50,535 --> 08:14:51,235 that are trying to get their 14265 08:14:51,235 --> 08:14:54,235 businesses up and running, how 14266 08:14:57,739 --> 08:14:58,410 long it wuld take specifically 14267 08:14:58,410 --> 08:14:58,642 . 14268 08:14:58,642 --> 08:14:58,976 >> so the question for staff 14269 08:14:58,976 --> 08:15:00,976 already? 14270 08:15:01,110 --> 08:15:01,411 Yeah, it is. 14271 08:15:01,411 --> 08:15:02,790 Thank you. 14272 08:15:02,790 --> 08:15:05,790 And brian maybe could answer 14273 08:15:05,215 --> 08:15:05,980 that how if that would work and 14274 08:15:05,980 --> 08:15:09,118 how long it would take and what 14275 08:15:09,118 --> 08:15:09,783 types of I'm assuming that's 14276 08:15:09,783 --> 08:15:12,722 ministerial in nature and it 14277 08:15:12,722 --> 08:15:13,356 would go directly through that 14278 08:15:13,356 --> 08:15:13,790 to talk a little bit about 14279 08:15:13,790 --> 08:15:15,790 the process. 14280 08:15:16,125 --> 08:15:16,759 >> so supervisor, if I 14281 08:15:16,759 --> 08:15:19,159 understand I think you're 14282 08:15:19,895 --> 08:15:20,563 talking about the storefront 14283 08:15:20,563 --> 08:15:20,996 retail micro businesses and 14284 08:15:20,996 --> 08:15:21,430 the thousand. 14285 08:15:21,430 --> 08:15:23,430 That's right. 14286 08:15:24,367 --> 08:15:26,935 Limitation ok, so as proposed 14287 08:15:26,935 --> 08:15:27,569 the ordinance would require use 14288 08:15:27,569 --> 08:15:30,569 permit the process for use 14289 08:15:32,274 --> 08:15:32,938 permits is submittal of an 14290 08:15:32,938 --> 08:15:35,810 application, has a site plan 14291 08:15:35,810 --> 08:15:36,478 and a number of other 14292 08:15:36,478 --> 08:15:38,478 informational documents that 14293 08:15:39,280 --> 08:15:40,140 are required that the so that 14294 08:15:40,140 --> 08:15:43,117 we can do the analysis from a 14295 08:15:43,117 --> 08:15:43,815 sequence standpoint but also 14296 08:15:43,815 --> 08:15:46,954 from a policy and an audience 14297 08:15:46,954 --> 08:15:47,655 consistency standpoint. 14298 08:15:47,655 --> 08:15:50,655 So there's a number of 14299 08:15:50,892 --> 08:15:51,425 elevations and site plans that 14300 08:15:51,425 --> 08:15:52,560 are required to show 14301 08:15:52,560 --> 08:15:54,456 the activity locations how

legal access to to the roads 14312 08:16:11,444 --> 08:16:12,144 that are being used. 14313 08:16:12,144 --> 08:16:14,978 All that information is routed 14314 08:16:14,978 --> 08:16:17,378 to the departments including 14315 08:16:18,918 --> 08:16:19,616 fire building public works, 14316 08:16:19,616 --> 08:16:20,216 environmental health, an idea 14317 08:16:20,216 --> 08:16:22,616 of appropriate fish and 14318 08:16:22,955 --> 08:16:23,922 wildlife if appropriate. 14319 08:16:23,922 --> 08:16:27,250 It's a it's a full use permit 14320 08:16:27,250 --> 08:16:29,425 process we receive conditions 14321 08:16:30,962 --> 08:16:31,663 of approval and or comments 14322 08:16:31,663 --> 08:16:32,330 back from those agencies based 14323 08:16:32,330 --> 08:16:35,330 on the original submittal we 14324 08:16:35,399 --> 08:16:36,000 supply those back to 14325 08:16:36,000 --> 08:16:36,698 the applicant that might 14326 08:16:36,698 --> 08:16:39,437 require refinements to a site 14327 08:16:39,437 --> 08:16:39,670 plan or additional information 14328 08:16:39,670 --> 08:16:40,271 . 14329 08:16:40,271 --> 08:16:43,271 Once we have a complete 14330 08:16:43,338 --> 08:16:46,338 application we prepare a secret 14331 08:16:47,440 --> 08:16:47,775 document depending on the level 14332 08:16:47,775 --> 08:16:50,113 of impacts could be a mitigated 14333 08:16:50,113 --> 08:16:52,113 negative declaration which 14334 08:16:54,918 --> 08:16:55,752 typically is for a an operation 14335 08:16:55,752 --> 08:16:58,221 that is similar to a winery or 14336 08:16:58,221 --> 08:17:01,221 an event type activity like 14337 08:17:02,159 --> 08:17:02,759 we've had wedding venues any 14338 08:17:02,759 --> 08:17:05,159 time that there's public 14339 08:17:05,862 --> 08:17:06,562 introduced and then it is 14340 08:17:06,562 --> 08:17:07,196 circulated for public comment 14341 08:17:07,196 --> 08:17:10,196 and the entire project is 14342 08:17:10,433 --> 08:17:11,660 noticed, property owners are 14343 08:17:11,660 --> 08:17:13,466 noticed there's a comment 14344 08:17:13,502 --> 08:17:14,169 period our comments are 14345 08:17:14,169 --> 08:17:17,239 received and then it goes to 14346 08:17:17,239 --> 08:17:17,739 the planning commission for a 14347 08:17:17,739 --> 08:17:18,207 public hearing and 14348 08:17:18,207 --> 08:17:20,207 consideration. 14349 08:17:21,574 --> 08:17:22,210 So depending on, you know, 14350 08:17:22,210 --> 08:17:25,411 the size and scale it is a 14351 08:17:25,411 --> 08:17:26,470 multi month process from time 14352 08:17:26,470 --> 08:17:28,447 that it's submitted until 14353 08:17:29,684 --> 08:17:30,351 the time it gets to a public 14354 08:17:30,351 --> 08:17:33,421 hearing it could be three it 14355 08:17:33,421 --> 08:17:37,210 could be six could be longer 14356 08:17:37,158 --> 08:17:37,825 depending on the complexity 14357 08:17:37,825 --> 08:17:40,528 the thousand square feet was 14358 08:17:40,528 --> 08:17:44,128 was added just as an attempt 14359 08:17:44,365 --> 08:17:45,990 for, you know, keeping these in 14360 08:17:45,990 --> 08:17:48,568 the rural character of of where 14361 08:17:48,568 --> 08:17:51,568 these types of operations can 14362 08:17:52,340 --> 08:17:52,970 can occur as well as being 14363 08:17:52,970 --> 08:17:53,506 consistent with the other 14364 08:17:53,506 --> 08:17:55,506 thousand square feet 14365 08:17:56,209 --> 08:17:56,843 limitations for the other 14366 08:17:56,843 --> 08:17:57,544 activities that are being 14367 08:17:57,544 --> 08:17:57,858 introduced with this ordinance 14368 08:17:57,858 --> 08:17:59,646 . 14369 08:17:59,646 --> 08:18:00,279 But certainly because it is a 14370 08:18:00,279 --> 08:18:03,182 use permit and it is site 14371 08:18:03,182 --> 08:18:03,783 specific and there's a 14372 08:18:03,783 --> 08:18:06,183 notification and quite a 14373 08:18:07,250 --> 08:18:09,250 significant discretionary 14374 08:18:11,190 --> 08:18:11,888 process excuse me removal of 14375 08:18:11,888 --> 08:18:14,888 that thousand square feet for 14376 08:18:15,227 --> 08:18:15,928 that particular and specific 14377 08:18:15,928 --> 08:18:18,928 use would not necessarily make 14378 08:18:19,598 --> 08:18:21,998 any significant ripple effects 14379 08:18:22,434 --> 08:18:23,132 in the way that the secret 14380 08:18:23,132 --> 08:18:23,803 document and or the ordinance 14381 08:18:23,803 --> 08:18:26,203 is structured currently and 14382 08:18:27,538 --> 08:18:28,239 would be considered on a case 14383 08:18:28,239 --> 08:18:28,971 by case basis through the use 14384 08:18:28,971 --> 08:18:31,807 permit process that hopefully I 14385 08:18:31,807 --> 08:18:34,378 just tried to describe based on 14386 08:18:34,378 --> 08:18:35,790 site specific some specific 14387 08:18:35,790 --> 08:18:37,479 infrastructure and the merits 14388 08:18:38,415 --> 08:18:39,283 of the project itself. 14389 08:18:39,283 --> 08:18:39,817 Ok, that that that's great. 14390 08:18:39,817 --> 08:18:41,817 That's great. 14391 08:18:42,650 --> 08:18:45,500 Brian, thank innocent probably 14392 08:18:46,823 -->

>> so how are we going to 14594 08:24:49,197 --> 08:24:49,931 address that so way 14595 08:24:49,931 --> 08:24:52,931 the ordinance is structured and 14596 08:24:53,768 --> 08:24:57,368 the language would be that any 14597 08:24:57,739 --> 08:24:58,373 new area that's being proposed 14598 08:24:58,373 --> 08:25:01,106 would need to meet the new 14599 08:25:01,106 --> 08:25:01,742 setbacks the existing area of 14600 08:25:01,742 --> 08:25:02,343 the 10000 square feet that 14601 08:25:02,343 --> 08:25:04,743 meeting the hundred foot 14602 08:25:05,142 --> 08:25:05,612 setback could remain and stay 14603 08:25:05,612 --> 08:25:07,612 in compliance. 14604 08:25:09,146 --> 08:25:12,146 The additional canopy area of 14605 08:25:13,190 --> 08:25:13,619 up to 4500 square feet based on 14606 08:25:13,619 --> 08:25:16,190 the 90 percent or the 55 14607 08:25:17,256 --> 08:25:17,723 percent that I'm getting my 14608 08:25:17,723 --> 08:25:19,723 math confused. 14609 08:25:21,527 --> 08:25:22,194 But new area would need to meet 14610 08:25:22,194 --> 08:25:24,594 the 150 or 200 foot setback 14611 08:25:25,261 --> 08:25:28,261 depending on the size of 14612 08:25:29,000 --> 08:25:29,402 the acreage or the size 14613 08:25:29,402 --> 08:25:30,102 the parcel. 14614 08:25:30,102 --> 08:25:33,380 So the whole canopy would not 14615 08:25:33,380 --> 08:25:33,671 need to be moved. 14616 08:25:33,671 --> 08:25:34,303 It's the new planting area 14617 08:25:34,303 --> 08:25:37,275 would need to meet the new 14618 08:25:37,275 --> 08:25:37,709 setbacks the way that it's set 14619 08:25:37,709 --> 08:25:39,709 up currently. 14620 08:25:39,942 --> 08:25:40,645 >> so what if you're building 14621 08:25:40,645 --> 08:25:41,450 what is at that little setback 14622 08:25:41,450 --> 08:25:43,450 of martin? 14623 08:25:43,881 --> 08:25:44,515 Your building is already there 14624 08:25:44,515 --> 08:25:48,115 then the area that is used 14625 08:25:48,319 --> 08:25:49,530 within that building would 14626 08:25:49,530 --> 08:25:52,456 the new area would have to be a 14627 08:25:52,456 --> 08:25:53,857 150 feet or 200 feet is the way 14628 08:25:53,857 --> 08:25:56,257 the ordinance is currently 14629 08:26:01,931 --> 08:26:03,199 written and that's a hard one. 14630 08:26:03,199 --> 08:26:06,990 >> so idea was a balance with 14631 08:26:06,990 --> 08:26:06,636 the neighborhoods because we've 14632 08:26:06,636 --> 08:26:07,100 talked about moving 14633 08:26:07,100 --> 08:26:09,100 the goalposts. 14634 08:26:10,373 --> 08:26:11,400 I also was we were considering 14635 08:26:11,400 --> 08:26:13,139 not moving the goalposts for 14636 08:26:13,139 --> 08:26:13,876 the neighbors who understood 14637 08:26:13,876 --> 08:26:14,541 that they would only have 10000 14638 08:26:14,541 --> 08:26:17,513 square feet of canopy within 14639 08:26:17,513 --> 08:26:20,513 100 feet of their property line 14640 08:26:21,160 --> 08:26:24,986 and so it MAY not work for all 14641 08:26:24,986 --> 08:26:25,654 operations but some operations 14642 08:26:25,654 --> 08:26:28,654 can build or expand further 14643 08:26:28,923 --> 08:26:29,591 away and the new expanded 14644 08:26:29,591 --> 08:26:32,591 canopy would be further away 14645 08:26:33,194 --> 08:26:33,828 than the hundred feet and only 14646 08:26:33,828 --> 08:26:36,431 the 10000 square feet at a 14647 08:26:36,431 --> 08:26:37,950 maximum would be within one 14648 08:26:37,950 --> 08:26:40,950 hundred feet of the property 14649 08:26:40,980 --> 08:26:40,403 line as originally approved in 14650 08:26:40,403 --> 08:26:41,235 2019. 14651 08:26:41,235 --> 08:26:44,380 So it was a balance that's not 14652 08:26:44,380 --> 08:26:44,672 going to meet everybody's 14653 08:26:44,672 --> 08:26:47,672 requirements but it was an 14654 08:26:48,375 --> 08:26:49,420 effort to adhere to 14655 08:26:49,420 --> 08:26:51,442 the original expectations by 14656 08:26:52,279 --> 08:26:53,130 the neighbors that were not 14657 08:26:53,130 --> 08:26:53,246 involved in cannabis operations 14658 08:26:53,246 --> 08:26:53,647 . 14659 08:26:53,647 --> 08:26:55,647 >> correct. 14660 08:26:56,516 --> 08:26:57,183 So would it have the same 14661 08:26:57,183 --> 08:26:59,986 effect if you didn't have a 14662 08:26:59,986 --> 08:27:00,920 neighbor on the property line? 14663 08:27:00,920 --> 08:27:01,418 It would have the same effect. 14664 08:27:01,418 --> 08:27:03,418 I'm sorry. 14665 08:27:03,854 --> 08:27:04,590 Well, so so if you live and you 14666 08:27:04,590 --> 08:27:07,326 are I mean these are all 14667 08:27:07,326 --> 08:27:07,993 different scenarios. 14668 08:27:07,993 --> 08:27:11,263 I know but you have an 14669 08:27:11,263 --> 08:27:11,931 undeveloped property next to 14670 08:27:11,931 --> 08:27:14,931 you so you're not affecting 14671 08:27:15,200 --> 08:27:18,200 your neighbor at that point. 14672 08:27:19,405 --> 08:27:19,699 That's still that set box 14673 08:27:19,699 --> 08:27:19,906 that's in there. 14674 08:27:19,906 --> 08:27:20,122 Yeah. 14675 08:27:20,122 --> 08:27:20,312 A setback is regardless of if 14676 08:27:20,312 --> 08:27:22,307 the neighboring property is 14677 08:27:22,307 --> 08:27:25,307 developed or not that applies 14678 08:27:30,178 --> 08:27:30,915 across the board animacy meac 14679 08:27:30,915 --> 08:27:31,282 go ahead and ask them another 14680 08:27:31,282 --> 08:27:33,282 question. 14681 08:27:33,284 --> 08:27:37,484 Let me dig back to my notes. 14682 08:27:37,522 --> 08:27:38,222 All right, lisa, can I just ask 14683 08:27:38,222 --> 08:27:41,656 a follow up question in regard 14684 08:27:41,656 --> 08:27:45,462 to what issue as could you do a 14685 08:27:45,462 --> 08:27:48,632 variance with that set back so 14686 08:27:48,632 --> 08:27:49,366 say that you know, you couldn't 14687 08:27:49,366 --> 08:27:50,690 meet the setback but you wanted 14688 08:27:50,690 --> 08:27:52,702 to expand in the area and you 14689 08:27:52,702 --> 08:27:53,370 and your neighbors agreed and 14690 08:27:53,370 --> 08:27:54,134 they were ok with it and you 14691 08:27:54,134 --> 08:27:56,639 got there was some sort of 14692 08:27:56,639 --> 08:27:57,371 process that could be signed 14693 08:27:57,371 --> 08:28:00,510 off with is that something that 14694 08:28:00,510 --> 08:28:00,910 would be allowable under this 14695 08:28:00,910 --> 08:28:01,544 ordinance? 14696 08:28:01,544 --> 08:28:03,544 >> supervisor swarthout? 14697 08:28:04,280 --> 08:28:04,981 Yes, that's in the existing 14698 08:28:04,981 --> 08:28:07,981 ordinance there is a variance 14699 08:28:08,284 --> 08:28:08,918 allowance for setbacks for 14700 08:28:08,918 --> 08:28:11,451 canopy areas as well as a 14701 08:28:11,451 --> 08:28:12,870 setback easement which is more 14702 08:28:12,870 --> 08:28:12,788 of an agreement with your 14703 08:28:12,788 --> 08:28:15,590 neighbor and was a variance as 14704 08:28:15,590 --> 08:28:16,325 an application through 14705 08:28:16,325 --> 08:28:19,627 the county that is decided at a 14706 08:28:19,627 --> 08:28:20,328 public hearing and there 14707 08:28:20,328 --> 08:28:20,693 certain findings that need to 14708 08:28:20,693 --> 08:28:22,693 be made. 14709 08:28:23,264 --> 08:28:23,832 So there's two options to 14710 08:28:23,832 --> 08:28:24,699 reduce that setback. 14711 08:28:24,699 --> 08:28:27,835 Ok, and then I just have a 14712 08:28:27,835 --> 08:28:28,469 question I apologize for my 14713 08:28:28,469 --> 08:28:31,469 ignorance but you know all 14714 08:28:31,770 --> 08:28:32,506 the work on cannabis in 14715 08:28:32,506 --> 08:28:34,842 the county in the city of grass 14716 08:28:34,842 --> 08:28:35,209 valley has been based on not 14717 08:28:35,209 --> 08:28:37,209 growing. 14718 08:28:38,679 --> 08:28:42,279 So what does mixed like what 14719 08:28:42,516 --> 08:28:43,383 does that mean? 14720 08:28:43,383 --> 08:28:44,151 >> I've heard that term a lot 14721 08:28:44,151 --> 08:28:46,753 today and I didn't understand 14722 08:28:46,753 --> 08:28:47,451 it mix lt is a mix of natural 14723 08:28:47,451 --> 08:28:50,451 light and artificial light so 14724 08:28:50,924 --> 08:28:51,725 typically hoop houses houses. 14725 08:28:51,725 --> 08:28:54,861 >> ok all right thank you for 14726 08:28:54,861 --> 08:28:57,861 that clarification and I will 14727 08:28:58,698 --> 08:28:59,400 say you know for the most part 14728 08:28:59,400 --> 08:29:02,400 I'm in agreement with changes 14729 08:29:02,868 --> 08:29:03,869 that have been proposed. 14730 08:29:03,869 --> 08:29:06,905 I do have a lot of concerns and 14731 08:29:06,905 --> 08:29:09,905 questions in regard to how 14732 08:29:10,442 --> 08:29:11,109 the retail would work and I 14733 08:29:11,109 --> 08:29:14,109 know that there's you know, 14734 08:29:14,379 --> 08:29:15,246 there is a use permit but there 14735 08:29:15,246 --> 08:29:15,981 has to be a set of regulations 14736 08:29:15,981 --> 08:29:18,750 that goes into that use permit. 14737 08:29:18,750 --> 08:29:19,448 For example, are we going to 14738 08:29:19,448 --> 08:29:22,620 allow these retail uses to be 14739 08:29:22,620 --> 08:29:23,321 on private roads? 14740 08:29:23,321 --> 08:29:25,687 I fully respect the neighbors 14741 08:29:25,687 --> 08:29:26,288 issues also understanding 14742 08:29:26,288 --> 08:29:29,794 the need for some of our 14743 08:29:29,794 --> 08:29:30,494 cannabis farmers to want to 14744 08:29:30,494 --> 08:29:30,895 sell their product directly to 14745 08:29:30,895 --> 08:29:32,895 the public. 14746 08:29:33,464 --> 08:29:34,164 So I think this need that needs 14747 08:29:34,164 --> 08:29:34,865 to be a bigger conversation. 14748 08:29:34,865 --> 08:29:37,503 Maybe it's not something that 14749 08:29:37,503 --> 08:29:38,201 we're going to decide today but 14750 08:29:38,201 --> 08:29:38,869 because I think there needs to 14751 08:29:38,869 --> 08:29:41,969 be some public input into it 14752 08:29:41,969 --> 08:29:42,639 because retail I don't know if 14753 08:29:42,639 --> 08:29:45,639 the state has a distinction 14754 08:29:45,708 --> 08:29:46,109 between retail sales and 14755 08:29:46,109 --> 08:29:48,109 dispensary. 14756 08:29:49,545 --> 08:29:50,210 I've only been familiar with 14757 08:29:50,210 --> 08:29:50,814 the work of dispensaries and 14758 08:29:50,814 --> 08:29:52,915 obviously there's a huge 14759 08:29:52,915 --> 08:29:53,647 difference in how you sell your 14760 08:29:53,647 --> 08:29:56,647 product dispensary you know, is 14761 08:29:57,753 --> 08:29:58,454 a location with parking and a 14762 08:29:58,454 --> 08:30:01,790 security plan and you know all 14763 08:30:01,790 --> 08:30:02,458 sorts of things if you are 14764 08:30:02,458 --> 08:30:04,659 talking about small farmers 14765 08:30:04,659 --> 08:30:05,461 wanting to sell their product 14766 08:30:05,461 --> 08:30:08,597 directly to the public, are we 14767 08:30:08,597 --> 08:30:09,431 going to be requiring them to 14768 08:30:09,431 --> 08:30:09,998 do all the same things that a 14769 08:30:09,998 --> 08:30:11,998 dispensary would do? 14770 08:30:12,965 --> 08:30:13,635 And I don't know if that's 14771 08:30:13,635 --> 08:30:14,335 something that you guys have 14772 08:30:14,335 --> 08:30:16,704 worked on as part of the your 14773 08:30:16,704 --> 08:30:17,505 use permit application. 14774 08:30:17,505 --> 08:30:18,173 Those are some questions that I 14775 08:30:18,173 --> 08:30:20,643 would want to know because I 14776 08:30:20,643 --> 08:30:21,375 don't want to establish this 14777 08:30:21,375 --> 08:30:21,977 and then make it impossible for 14778 08:30:21,977 --> 08:30:23,711 the small farmers to get 14779 08:30:23,711 --> 08:30:24,345 the license. 14780 08:30:24,345 --> 08:30:25,790 I just think that's 14781 08:30:25,790 --> 08:30:27,479 counterproductive and if you're 14782 08:30:28,816 --> 08:30:29,518 going to be requiring a full 14783 08:30:29,518 --> 08:30:31,785 retail setup for people no one 14784 08:30:31,785 --> 08:30:32,190 will be able to afford to do it 14785 08:30:32,190 --> 08:30:32,819 . 14786 08:30:32,819 --> 08:30:35,722 Just it wouldn't be it would be 14787 08:30:35,722 --> 08:30:36,456 cost prohibitive to have to do 14788 08:30:36,456 --> 08:30:39,792 all the things for somebody who 14789 08:30:39,792 --> 08:30:40,493 has a small farm to want to 14790 08:30:40,493 --> 08:30:41,196 sell directly to the public. 14791 08:30:41,196 --> 08:30:43,229 >> so I think that process 14792 08:30:43,229 --> 08:30:46,829 needs to be far greater, you 14793 08:30:47,660 --> 08:30:50,801 know, lad out for all of us to 14794 08:30:50,801 --> 08:30:51,637 make the decision about it. 14795 08:30:51,637 --> 08:30:54,637 Well, the public comment has 14796 08:30:54,874 --> 08:30:55,741 been closed. 14797 08:30:55,741 --> 08:30:56,542 I'm sorry, folks, when you 14798 08:30:56,542 --> 08:30:56,975 raise your hands about it, it's 14799 08:30:56,975 --> 08:30:58,975 been closed. 14800 08:30:59,144 --> 08:31:01,144 i'm sorry, heidi. 14801 08:31:03,548 --> 08:31:06,882 Redefinitions no, I just I mean 14802 08:31:06,882 --> 08:31:07,719 I would want to you know, I 14803 08:31:07,719 --> 08:31:08,520 want to support this but I want 14804 08:31:08,520 --> 08:31:11,189 to know how it's going to work 14805 08:31:11,189 --> 08:31:11,889 before we make a full decision 14806 08:31:11,889 --> 08:31:15,930 and make sure that it's going 14807 08:31:15,930 --> 08:31:15,760 to work for the neighborhoods 14808 08:31:15,760 --> 08:31:16,460 and it's going to make it's 14809 08:31:16,460 --> 08:31:18,829 going to work for the cannabis 14810 08:31:18,829 --> 08:31:19,630 industry. 14811 08:31:19,630 --> 08:31:20,297 You know, obviously there's got 14812 08:31:20,297 --> 08:31:20,998 to be some compromise there 14813 08:31:20,998 --> 08:31:23,100 because not everybody gets 100 14814 08:31:23,100 --> 08:31:23,467 percent of what they want all 14815 08:31:23,467 --> 08:31:24,199 the time. 14816 08:31:24,199 --> 08:31:25,936 But I just I think I would want 14817 08:31:25,936 --> 08:31:26,670 a better definition of how 14818 08:31:26,670 --> 08:31:27,304 the retail component would work 14819 08:31:27,304 --> 08:31:29,704 and I 100 percent support 14820 08:31:30,730 --> 08:31:30,741 the micro businesses because 14821 08:31:30,741 --> 08:31:34,211 you have a small business if 14822 08:31:34,211 --> 08:31:34,878 you can diversify and do more 14823 08:31:34,878 --> 08:31:37,981 than one thing that it helps 14824 08:31:37,981 --> 08:31:38,848 you for your profitability. 14825 08:31:38,848 --> 08:31:40,917 >> so just see a little bit 14826 08:31:40,917 --> 08:31:44,517 more detail on how the retail 14827 08:31:44,987 --> 08:31:45,689 would work would be great 14828 08:31:45,689 --> 08:31:46,456 su*rez is going to feel I can 14829 08:31:46,456 --> 08:31:49,358 add just a little bit if if 14830 08:31:49,358 --> 08:31:50,920 you'd like to well just clarify 14831 08:31:50,920 --> 08:31:52,595 a little bit here because in my 14832 08:31:52,595 --> 08:31:56,195 mind retail sales has not been 14833 08:31:56,362 --> 08:31:57,990 approved by this board and I 14834 08:31:57,990 --> 08:32:00,990 don't believe that's what we're 14835 08:32:00,168 --> 08:32:00,769 doing and that's one with 14836 08:32:00,769 --> 08:32:03,169 perhaps the exception of 14837 08:32:04,500 --> 08:32:04,837 the used permit. 14838 08:32:04,837 --> 08:32:07,508 Am I correct there you are 14839 08:32:07,508 --> 08:32:08,142 correct that the use format 14840 08:32:08,142 --> 08:32:10,542 required allow would allow 14841 08:32:11,212 --> 08:32:11,913 public access or storefront 14842 08:32:11,913 --> 08:32:14,913 retail sales at a cultivation 14843 08:32:15,490 --> 08:32:15,880 site. 14844 08:32:15,880 --> 08:32:19,317 There are a number of criteria 14845 08:32:19,317 --> 08:32:19,887 that is in our ordinance 14846 08:32:19,887 --> 08:32:21,887 the proposed ordinance 14847 08:32:23,190 --> 08:32:23,891 regarding regarding security 14848 08:32:23,891 --> 08:32:26,891 plans and operation plans that 14849 08:32:27,227 --> 08:32:27,661 mirror to some degree the state 14850 08:32:27,661 --> 08:32:28,295 requirements. 14851 08:32:28,295 --> 08:32:30,695 There is quite significant 14852 08:32:31,195 --> 08:32:33,195 state permitting requirements 14853 08:32:35,199 --> 08:32:35,902 with oversight the age of 14854

08:32:59,240 issues are reflected in this 14864 08:32:59,240 --> 08:33:01,424 ordinance and then reference 14865 08:33:02,930 --> 08:33:02,827 back to the state oversight and 14866 08:33:02,827 --> 08:33:05,827 licensing system that the state 14867 08:33:06,264 --> 08:33:07,396 oversees. 14868 08:33:07,396 --> 08:33:12,196 Oh, I saw it and I was curious 14869 08:33:27,350 --> 08:33:27,951 too and it also triggers a road 14870 08:33:27,951 --> 08:33:28,651 standard road standard. 14871 08:33:28,651 --> 08:33:29,116 It accessibility bathrooms for 14872 08:33:29,116 --> 08:33:29,819 your

14876 08:33:31,721 --> 08:33:32,121 valley took in for retail 14877 08:33:32,121 --> 08:33:32,856 dispensary. 14878 08:33:32,856 --> 08:33:33,589 They were each one hundred to a 14879 08:33:33,589 --> 08:33:34,290 hundred and fifty pages long of 14880 08:33:34,290 --> 08:33:35,240 all the things that the people 14881 08:33:35,240 --> 08:33:35,756 had to do extremely complicated 14882 08:33:35,756 --> 08:33:36,492 and extremely expensive um so I 14883 08:33:36,492 --> 08:33:37,126 just like I said I just want to 14884 08:33:37,126 --> 08:33:37,861 make sure that if we put a 14885 08:33:37,861 --> 08:33:38,561 process in place that we're not 14886 08:33:38,561 --> 08:33:41,561 doing something that won't let 14887 08:33:41,697 --> 08:33:42,364 anybody in our community be 14888 08:33:42,364

08:33:49,338 the public from your your site 14892 08:33:49,338 --> 08:33:52,338 is far different than your 14893 08:33:52,774 --> 08:33:53,408 business model for doing a 14894 08:33:53,408 --> 08:33:55,808 dispensary where you're a 14895 08:33:56,511 --> 08:33:57,245 public location and you know, 14896 08:33:57,245 --> 08:34:00,215 people visit you whatever hours 14897 08:34:00,215 --> 08:34:00,815 you're open and just it's a 14898 08:34:00,815 --> 08:34:03,215 really different type of 14899 08:34:03,484 --> 08:34:05,484 business. 14900 08:34:11,825 --> 08:34:12,626 okay, already,

generally support 14907 08:34:24,680 --> 08:34:26,670 all of the proposed changes. 14908 08:34:26,670 --> 08:34:27,710 I'm really proud of how far 14909 08:34:27,710 --> 08:34:27,941 we've come. 14910

08:34:46,925 --> 08:34:49,925 changes that can go into 14924 08:34:50,562 --> 08:34:51,363 approving the ordinance today 14925 08:34:51,363 --> 08:34:52,270 and that we can leave some of 14926

--> 08:35:18,455 if I'm wrong is that if we 14940 08:35:18,455 --> 08:35:21,455 approve this we will approve 14941 08:35:21,724 --> 08:35:25,324 the ability for retail both on 14942 08:35:25,528 --> 08:35:28,528 site without the public coming 14943 08:35:29,565 --> 08:35:30,266 in that first piece and retail 14944 08:35:30,266 --> 08:35:33,503 that could be a dispensary or 14945 08:35:33,503 -->

08:35:50,718 As part of going into retail 14956 08:35:50,718 --> 08:35:53,721 then people would have to come 14957 08:35:53,721 --> 08:35:54,386 back with specific plans for 14958 08:35:54,386 --> 08:35:57,386 whether it's a dispensary or 14959 08:35:57,558 --> 08:35:57,992 whether it's an on farm tourist 14960 08:35:57,992 --> 08:35:59,992 retail site. 14961 08:36:01,596 --> 08:36:02,227 They

workshops. 14965 08:36:05,699 --> 08:36:08,736 So we'd be working out some of 14966 08:36:08,736 --> 08:36:09,405 those details that you guys are 14967 08:36:09,405 --> 08:36:10,300 asking about as part of that 14968 08:36:10,300 --> 08:36:12,300 conditional use permit. 14969 08:36:12,873 --> 08:36:13,704 Is that also correct? 14970 08:36:13,704 --> 08:36:16,704 >> that is also correct, yes. 14971 08:36:16,843 --> 08:36:17,577 Ok, so we could prove 14972 08:36:17,577 --> 08:36:18,277 the concept today and then work 14973 08:36:18,277 --> 08:36:20,980 through those details as they 14974 08:36:20,980 --> 08:36:21,681 potentially come out that 14975 08:36:21,681 --> 08:36:24,717 that's that's sort of what I'm 14976 08:36:24,717 --> 08:36:25,218 looking at it what I would what 14977 08:36:25,218 --> 08:36:25,885 I would support. 14978 08:36:25,885 --> 08:36:28,654 I think that's something we 14979 08:36:28,654 --> 08:36:31,540 would want to see. 14980 08:36:33,920 --> 08:36:35,761 I would also support taking out 14981 08:36:35,761 --> 08:36:36,361 the thousand square foot limit 14982 08:36:36,361 --> 08:36:38,761 and leaving that to 14983 08:36:40,899 --> 08:36:41,566 the conditional use permit 14984 08:36:41,566 --> 08:36:43,966 process unless there's some 14985 08:36:44,269 --> 08:36:47,806 other legal thing that we need 14986 08:36:47,806 --> 08:36:49,806 to follow. 14987 08:36:51,740 --> 08:36:52,541 I would also also support I 14988 08:36:52,541 --> 08:36:55,780 think what I was hearing was a 14989 08:36:55,780 --> 08:36:56,480 request to cap the size that 14990 08:36:56,480 --> 08:36:58,880 we're allowing at 20000 square 14991 08:36:58,980 --> 08:36:59,283 feet, not forty thousand square 14992 08:36:59,283 --> 08:36:59,917 feet. 14993 08:36:59,917 --> 08:37:00,582 So I would support just 14994 08:37:00,582 --> 08:37:02,582 eliminating those categories 14995 08:37:03,523 --> 08:37:06,523 that up to 40 maybe 20 square 14996 08:37:07,570 --> 08:37:07,458 feet or mix like yes. 14997 08:37:07,458 --> 08:37:09,458 >> correct. 14998 08:37:10,895 --> 08:37:13,895 Ok, just for clarification and 14999 08:37:14,932 --> 08:37:15,662 would you still allow or want 15000 08:37:15,662 --> 08:37:18,662 to allow outdoor use over 20000 15001 08:37:19,269 --> 08:37:22,869 square feet because it does go 15002 08:37:22,941 --> 08:37:23,374 from allows up to 30 and 40000 15003 08:37:23,374 --> 08:37:24,750 square feet. 15004 08:37:24,750 --> 08:37:26,110 I believe the request was just 15005 08:37:26,110 --> 08:37:26,644 to cap th indoor but not 15006 08:37:26,644 --> 08:37:27,243 the total canopy size for 15007 08:37:27,243 --> 08:37:29,243 potential outdoor use. 15008 08:37:31,146 --> 08:37:31,883 >> is that the request now in 15009 08:37:31,883 --> 08:37:35,830 total I think it's total twenty 15010 08:37:35,830 --> 08:37:35,820 no, just the mix like ten 15011 08:37:35,820 --> 08:37:38,386 thousand makes like ten minutes 15012 08:37:38,386 --> 08:37:39,180 light makes light twenty 15013 08:37:39,180 --> 08:37:41,418 thousand instead of forty 15014 08:37:42,860 --> 08:37:43,558 thousand an additional ten 15015 08:37:43,558 --> 08:37:44,292 thousand allowed outdoor so a 15016 08:37:44,292 --> 08:37:47,292 total of twenty thousand square 15017 08:37:49,899 --> 08:37:50,567 feet out now can we ask diana 15018 08:37:50,567 --> 08:37:53,567 to clarify what the cannabis 15019 08:37:53,937 --> 08:37:54,770 alliance was asking. 15020 08:37:54,770 --> 08:37:55,136 Yes you can ok is that a 15021 08:37:55,136 --> 08:37:57,136 request. 15022 08:38:01,410 --> 08:38:01,642 Yes part of of the 40000 total 15023 08:38:01,642 --> 08:38:04,642 but it was there twenty 15024 08:38:05,176 --> 08:38:05,915 thousand up to total can be of 15025 08:38:05,915 --> 08:38:08,915 mixed light with the additional 15026 08:38:09,170 --> 08:38:09,451 up to 40000 additional outdoor 15027 08:38:09,451 --> 08:38:11,451 to come to. 15028 08:38:15,924 --> 08:38:18,924 Right ok that's thank you. 15029 08:38:20,294 --> 08:38:20,960 And then I am most the last two 15030 08:38:20,960 --> 08:38:23,893 things are kind of concerned 15031 08:38:23,893 --> 08:38:24,365 about the grandfather or 15032 08:38:24,365 --> 08:38:25,640 variance issue. 15033 08:38:25,640 --> 08:38:28,135 I think there's just a number 15034 08:38:28,135 --> 08:38:28,835 of complicated issues there 15035 08:38:28,835 --> 08:38:32,270 that we need to make sure we 15036 08:38:32,270 --> 08:38:35,938 allow for folks who who want to 15037 08:38:35,938 --> 08:38:38,938 expand into the support area, 15038 08:38:39,111 --> 08:38:39,545 bump up against that additional 15039 08:38:39,545 --> 08:38:40,214 setback area. 15040 08:38:40,214 --> 08:38:40,745 We just we need a process to 15041 08:38:40,745 --> 08:38:42,745 make that work. 15042 08:38:43,470 --> 08:38:43,851 I mean I think even your 15043 08:38:43,851 --> 08:38:46,851 example, brian, if they're at 15044 08:38:47,860 --> 08:38:47,816 the ten thousand square feet 15045 08:38:47,816 --> 08:38:51,225 they go into their support area 15046 08:38:51,225 --> 08:38:51,892 but they can't do it on one 15047 08:38:51,892 --> 08:38:54,930 side because the setback so 15048 08:38:54,930 --> 08:38:54,792 they do it on the other side 15049 08:38:54,792 --> 08:38:57,192 nevertheless it's now fifteen 15050 08:38:58,262 --> 08:38:58,929 thousand square feet and how do 15051 08:38:58,929 --> 08:39:02,399 then they still have to meet 15052 08:39:02,399 --> 08:39:04,799 that hannaford's 650 foot new 15053 08:39:06,238 --> 08:39:06,934 setback on the because 15054 08:39:06,934 --> 08:39:07,534 the whole thing itself is now 15055 08:39:07,534 --> 08:39:09,534 larger than 10000 now. 15056 08:39:10,570 --> 08:39:11,274 >> so the way I was trying to 15057 08:39:11,274 --> 08:39:14,644 explain it would be that only 15058 08:39:14,644 --> 08:39:15,344 the new area would have to meet 15059 08:39:15,344 --> 08:39:15,814 the one hundred and fifty foot 15060 08:39:15,814 --> 08:39:17,681 or two hundred. 15061 08:39:17,681 --> 08:39:18,350 >> but what's the new area is 15062 08:39:18,350 --> 08:39:21,350 combined with the old area. 15063 08:39:22,117 --> 08:39:22,720 >> the old area could remain 15064 08:39:22,720 --> 08:39:23,416 where it is and meet 15065 08:39:23,416 --> 08:39:23,649 the existing 500 foot setbacks 15066 08:39:23,649 --> 08:39:25,387 . 15067 08:39:25,387 --> 08:39:26,210 The idea was to expand away 15068 08:39:26,210 --> 08:39:29,210 from the property line and 15069 08:39:29,627 --> 08:39:29,991 the new area even if it was 15070 08:39:29,991 --> 08:39:30,689 combined. 15071 08:39:30,689 --> 08:39:33,563 Ok, the just the additional 15072 08:39:33,563 --> 08:39:34,293 square footage would have to 15073 08:39:34,293 --> 08:39:37,633 fall within that new set back. 15074 08:39:37,633 --> 08:39:38,366 But all the other areas already 15075 08:39:38,366 --> 08:39:41,366 permitted even if it's combined 15076 08:39:41,669 --> 08:39:44,474 and intermixed could stay where 15077 08:39:44,474 --> 08:39:44,908 it is under the permitted 15078 08:39:44,908 --> 08:39:45,475 hundred foot. 15079 08:39:45,475 --> 08:39:47,475 >> that's the intent. 15080 08:39:48,373 --> 08:39:49,173 It sounds like we need to we're 15081 08:39:49,173 --> 08:39:49,844 going to have to come out with 15082 08:39:49,844 --> 08:39:52,244 some explanatory language to 15083 08:39:52,610 --> 08:39:53,348 make that clear and I don't 15084 08:39:53,348 --> 08:39:56,549 want to I don't want to suggest 15085 08:39:56,549 --> 08:39:57,283 how to make that happen as long 15086 08:39:57,283 --> 08:40:00,589 as we have either a variance or 15087 08:40:00,589 --> 08:40:01,252 grandfather clause to deal with 15088 08:40:01,252 --> 08:40:03,356 folks who just are going to 15089 08:40:03,356 --> 08:40:06,956 have struggled to meet that new 15090 08:40:07,393 --> 08:40:08,229 square foot setback. 15091 08:40:08,229 --> 08:40:10,629 >> and then finally on 15092 08:40:11,364 --> 08:40:12,980 the neighborhood issues I 15093 08:40:12,980 --> 08:40:14,498 empathize with the neighborhood 15094 08:40:15,401 --> 08:40:16,268 concerns. 15095 08:40:16,268 --> 08:40:16,969 I do think we should continue 15096 08:40:16,969 --> 08:40:19,439 to talk about that perhaps at 15097 08:40:19,439 --> 08:40:20,275 our workshop. 15098 08:40:20,275 --> 08:40:20,970 But at this point the absolute 15099 08:40:20,970 --> 08:40:24,109 farthest I would be willing to 15100 08:40:24,109 --> 08:40:27,810 go is to have a checklist for 15101 08:40:27,810 --> 08:40:28,549 the cars I just that is I agree 15102 08:40:28,549 --> 08:40:31,685 with the speakers is that it is 15103 08:40:31,685 --> 08:40:32,316 a very slippery to start 15104 08:40:32,316 --> 08:40:34,316 allowing neighborhoods to 15105 08:40:35,821 --> 08:40:38,821 identify who can and cannot 15106 08:40:38,857 --> 08:40:39,487 live in their area so I can go 15107 08:40:39,487 --> 08:40:39,859 as far as a checklist but 15108 08:40:39,859 --> 08:40:41,859 that's it. 15109 08:40:42,560 --> 08:40:43,362 And if we want to discuss it 15110 08:40:43,362 --> 08:40:44,600 more in JANUARY I'd be I'd be 15111 08:40:44,600 --> 08:40:46,728 open to figuring out how to 15112 08:40:46,728 --> 08:40:47,200 make this work better for 15113 08:40:47,200 --> 08:40:49,200 neighborhoods. 15114 08:40:50,765 --> 08:40:51,165 >> I think that's covers all of 15115 08:40:51,165 --> 08:40:53,165 the issues. 15116 08:40:54,507 --> 08:40:55,705 You look confused. 15117 08:40:55,705 --> 08:40:56,506 No, no, I think it is good. 15118 08:40:56,506 --> 08:40:58,441 I think though I'm looking at 15119 08:40:58,441 --> 08:40:59,244 neighborhood you choose you 15120 08:40:59,244 --> 08:40:59,876 know when you buy a piece of 15121 08:40:59,876 --> 08:41:00,346 property I'm just going to 15122 08:41:00,346 --> 08:41:02,346 throw this out. 15123 08:41:02,579 --> 08:41:03,249 You know, when you buy a piece 15124 08:41:03,249 --> 08:41:03,948 of property you belong to a 15125 08:41:03,948 --> 08:41:06,348 homeowners association or you 15126 08:41:06,785 --> 08:41:07,616 know you belong to something. 15127 08:41:07,616 --> 08:41:07,950 It has scars that needs to be 15128 08:41:07,950 --> 08:41:09,950 on you. 15129 08:41:10,683 --> 08:41:11,320 We don't get to that's not 15130 08:41:11,320 --> 08:41:14,423 something we are in a land 15131 08:41:14,423 --> 08:41:15,880 where land use right that we're 15132 08:41:15,880 --> 08:41:15,757 talking about now requiring 15133 08:41:15,757 --> 08:41:17,794 people who've already moved 15134 08:41:17,794 --> 08:41:18,495 into neighborhoods because that 15135 08:41:18,495 --> 08:41:21,563 did not have a restriction on 15136 08:41:21,563 --> 08:41:22,464 them. 15137 08:41:22,464 --> 08:41:23,164 >> so is again a grandfathering 15138 08:41:23,164 --> 08:41:25,837 in issue potentially so that's 15139 08:41:25,837 --> 08:41:26,703 up to their board. 15140 08:41:26,703 --> 08:41:27,337 >> their board has to vote on 15141 08:41:27,337 --> 08:41:27,966 those kinds of things and 15142 08:41:27,966 --> 08:41:29,737 that's only thing that's a 15143 08:41:29,737 --> 08:41:30,571 little right. 15144 08:41:30,571 --> 08:41:30,938 I don't want us to get in 15145 08:41:30,938 --> 08:41:31,675 the way. 15146 08:41:31,675 --> 08:41:33,805 We can't that doesn't I think 15147 08:41:33,805 --> 08:41:34,406 we I looked into this legally 15148 08:41:34,406 --> 08:41:35,207 we can't do that right. 15149 08:41:35,207 --> 08:41:37,514 That's not what our in our 15150 08:41:37,514 --> 08:41:38,412 ability look at all. 15151 08:41:38,412 --> 08:41:40,981 But I do think that we can 15152 08:41:40,981 --> 08:41:41,718 notify people that you are 15153 08:41:41,718 --> 08:41:42,386 looking they're buying property 15154 08:41:42,386 --> 08:41:45,154 or looking to do a business 15155 08:41:45,154 --> 08:41:45,852 that has these now it's your 15156 08:41:45,852 --> 08:41:46,253 responsibility to go see what 15157 08:41:46,253 --> 08:41:46,586 those are. 15158 08:41:46,586 --> 08:41:48,586 Right. 15159 08:41:48,686 --> 08:41:49,592 Agree. 15160 08:41:49,592 --> 08:41:52,862 I mean and then those folks you 15161 08:41:52,862 --> 08:41:53,563 know that goes down they're 15162 08:41:53,563 --> 08:41:56,996 the ones that have to either, 15163 08:41:56,996 --> 08:41:57,500 you know, follow suit with what 15164 08:41:57,500 --> 08:41:59,500 their rules are. 15165 08:41:59,866 --> 08:42:00,564 I mean that's up to a board 15166 08:42:00,564 --> 08:42:01,164 kind of like we have to have 15167 08:42:01,164 --> 08:42:01,901 our board has to make up 15168 08:42:01,901 --> 08:42:04,200 decisions that's kind of up to 15169 08:42:04,200 --> 08:42:05,100 their board a little bit. 15170 08:42:05,100 --> 08:42:08,974 But I do think in some sense 15171 08:42:08,974 --> 08:42:09,606 and the grower or the applicant 15172 08:42:09,606 --> 08:42:10,309 whether it's I don't care 15173 08:42:10,309 --> 08:42:12,311 whether there's cannabis or if 15174 08:42:12,311 --> 08:42:15,714 you want to have a car fixin's 15175 08:42:15,714 --> 08:42:16,515 shop or a boat repair place, 15176 08:42:16,515 --> 08:42:16,817 you have to know what's in your 15177 08:42:16,817 --> 08:42:18,817 cars. 15178 08:42:20,251 --> 08:42:20,482 So we don't get to justify that 15179 08:42:20,482 --> 08:42:21,388 . 15180 08:42:21,388 --> 08:42:24,155 We get to do what's the law of 15181 08:42:24,155 --> 08:42:24,920 the land and the land use. 15182 08:42:24,920 --> 08:42:25,390 >> but then then its your 15183 08:42:25,390 --> 08:42:25,691 responsibility. 15184 08:42:25,691 --> 08:42:27,595 Yeah. 15185 08:42:27,595 --> 08:42:31,630 And on the other side of that 15186 08:42:31,630 --> 08:42:31,629 and my my philosophy is to not 15187 08:42:31,629 --> 08:42:33,629 be micromanaging these 15188 08:42:34,763 --> 08:42:35,434 businesses any more than we are 15189 08:42:35,434 --> 08:42:36,164 and to treat them like other 15190 08:42:36,164 --> 08:42:38,564 businesses or like agricultural 15191 08:42:38,800 --> 08:42:39,801 products. 15192 08:42:39,801 --> 08:42:40,720 So yeah, I think that's it for 15193 08:42:40,720 --> 08:42:42,720 me. 15194 08:42:42,741 --> 08:42:43,541 Thanks. 15195 08:42:43,541 --> 08:42:46,100 Well and I would say along 15196 08:42:46,100 --> 08:42:49,100 the same lines there are 15197 08:42:49,843 --> 08:42:50,477 neighborhoods that were really 15198 08:42:50,477 --> 08:42:51,147 still struggling with and 15199 08:42:51,147 --> 08:42:53,547 unfortunately it seems like 15200 08:42:54,353 --> 08:42:57,853 most of them are in my 15201 08:42:57,853 --> 08:42:58,555 neighborhood in my district so 15202 08:42:58,555 --> 08:42:59,119 and now it sounds like there's 15203 08:42:59,119 --> 08:43:01,119 division within those 15204 08:43:02,291 --> 08:43:05,891 neighborhoods to so I know that 15205 08:43:06,230 --> 08:43:09,230 ryan has information that we 15206 08:43:10,266 --> 08:43:10,966 can pursue during the our 15207 08:43:10,966 --> 08:43:13,966 planning session coming up and 15208 08:43:14,400 --> 08:43:15,370 that's what I would like to see 15209 08:43:15,370 --> 08:43:17,172 I'd like to see this these 15210 08:43:17,172 --> 08:43:19,172 ordinance get approved. 15211 08:43:20,908 --> 08:43:24,508 I'm all in favor of cannabis 15212 08:43:25,147 --> 08:43:25,713 working and weas wade it says 15213 08:43:25,713 --> 08:43:28,113 really put some heavy 15214 08:43:28,880 --> 08:43:29,583 restrictions not necessarily 15215 08:43:29,583 --> 08:43:33,183 just us but th state of 15216 08:43:49,669 --> 08:43:50,306 california almost obscene 15217 08:43:50,306 --> 08:43:51,305 what's been put on them. 15218 08:43:51,305 --> 08:43:52,104 And I think that we need to be 15219 08:43:52,104 --> 08:43:52,906 able to do what we can do to 15220 08:43:52,906 --> 08:43:53,637 make a better so that they can 15221 08:43:53,637 --> 08:43:54,140 make a profit like a legitimate 15222 08:43:54,140 --> 08:43:54,838 business and like 15223 08:43:54,838 --> 08:43:55,207 the legitimate businesses that 15224 08:43:55,207 --> 08:43:55,875 they are. 15225 08:43:55,875 --> 08:43:56,478 But at the same time it is a 15226 08:43:56,478 --> 08:43:57,176 process and that process 15227 08:43:57,176 --> 08:43:57,810 doesn't involve our homeowners 15228 08:43:57,810 --> 08:43:58,444 within this association. 15229 08:43:58,444 --> 08:43:59,181 So I would ask and moving 15230 08:43:59,181 --> 08:44:00,179 forward is that we do ask brian 15231 08:44:00,179 --> 08:44:00,914 that we do at least take a look 15232 08:44:00,914 --> 08:44:03,914 the exclusionary zones that has 15233 08:44:04,416 --> 08:44:05,830 been done in some other 15234 08:44:05,830 --> 08:44:08,830 counties, maybe not to their 15235 08:44:08,420 --> 08:44:11,225 success that would be something 15236 08:44:11,225 --> 08:44:12,250 that we could take a look at 15237 08:44:12,250 --> 08:44:15,157 and also I don't know kid, have 15238 08:44:15,157 --> 08:44:15,863 you been looking at what 15239 08:44:15,863 --> 08:44:18,263 changes are being recommended 15240 08:44:19,194 --> 08:44:19,830 here? 15241 08:44:19,830 --> 08:44:20,631 I've been listening. 15242 08:44:20,631 --> 08:44:23,670 So right now we just have 15243 08:44:23,670 --> 08:44:24,368 recommendation but I don't have 15244 08:44:24,368 --> 08:44:27,968 a majority of the board giving 15245 08:44:28,172 --> 08:44:30,172 direction. 15246 08:44:31,241 --> 08:44:31,945 So what we would need is a 15247 08:44:31,945 --> 08:44:34,345 motion motion to specifically 15248 08:44:38,248 --> 08:44:38,982 amend and then make sure that 15249 08:44:38,982 --> 08:44:39,215 that brian would have the chair 15250 08:44:39,215 --> 08:44:39,849 . 15251 08:44:39,849 --> 08:44:42,249 >> schofield what I would 15252

08:58:51,416 --> 08:58:52,840 the unincorporated county. 15302 08:58:52,840 --> 08:58:52,550 >> is that correct? 15303 08:58:52,550 --> 08:58:54,550 That's correct. 15304 08:58:55,687 --> 08:58:58,687 It means we're allowing that 15305 08:58:59,524 --> 08:59:00,222 license type to be applied for 15306 08:59:00,222 --> 08:59:00,691 and go through the process for 15307 08:59:00,691 --> 08:59:02,691

09:00:55,533 the mixed light. 15377 09:00:55,533 --> 09:00:58,533 This is the proposed ordinance 15378 09:00:59,103 --> 09:01:02,103 language where the increase in 15379 09:01:02,806 --> 09:01:03,207

09:01:23,426 --> 09:01:27,626 parcel's I think I need to do 15390 09:01:29,932 --> 09:01:30,632 it one more area actually I 15391 09:01:30,632 --> 09:01:33,268 think that that's accurate and 15392

--> 09:01:49,450 square feet allowance for 15403 09:01:49,450 --> 09:01:52,450 outdoor and then it has 15404 09:01:52,720 --> 09:01:53,321 different limitations for 15405 09:01:53,321 --> 09:01:55,721

09:02:33,992 --> 09:02:34,726 the language that the area 15422 09:02:34,726 --> 09:02:35,360 dedicated to retail sales shall 15423 09:02:35,360 --> 09:02:37,829 be a maximum of a thousand 15424

09:03:43,324 --> 09:03:43,958 retroactive, it doesn't apply. 15456 09:03:43,958 --> 09:03:44,692 We can potentially look at 15457 09:03:44,692 --> 09:03:47,920 adding some clarifying language 15458 09:03:47,325 --> 09:03:50,925 but as it's currently worded it 15459 09:03:51,131 --> 09:03:51,665 would not apply to existing 15460 09:03:51,665 --> 09:03:53,665 permitted farms that 15461 09:03:55,680 --> 09:03:55,669 the setbacks would only apply 15462 09:03:55,669 --> 09:03:56,390 to those areas that are 15463 09:03:56,390 --> 09:03:58,390 proposed. 15464 09:03:59,203 --> 09:03:59,803 In addition above and beyond 15465 09:03:59,803 --> 09:04:02,803 what the current farm is 15466 09:04:03,142 --> 09:04:03,810 permitted for and what the new 15467 09:04:03,810 --> 09:04:04,410 ordinance would allow for in 15468 09:04:04,410 --> 09:04:06,810 terms of square footage. 15469 09:04:07,513 --> 09:04:11,500 But we can clarify that or 15470 09:04:11,500 --> 09:04:11,717 discuss it more if you like and 15471 09:04:11,717 --> 09:04:14,717 it also includes a variance 15472 09:04:32,370 --> 09:04:32,937 process because we already have 15473 09:04:32,937 --> 09:04:33,738 one, is that correct? 15474 09:04:33,738 --> 09:04:34,403 >> we do already have a 15475 09:04:34,403 --> 09:04:35,106 variance process built into 15476 09:04:35,106 --> 09:04:35,740 the ordinance there variances 15477 09:04:35,740 --> 09:04:36,374 there's certain rules and 15478 09:04:36,374 --> 09:04:37,380 regulations if it's a true 15479 09:04:37,380 --> 09:04:37,608 variance governed by another 15480 09:04:37,608 --> 09:04:38,240 section of our code. 15481 09:04:38,240 --> 09:04:38,942 But there could be a some 15482 09:04:38,942 --> 09:04:41,942 analysis on a different method 15483 09:04:42,613 --> 09:04:43,314 to to go about allowing a you 15484 09:04:43,314 --> 09:04:45,917 know, a reduction in that set 15485 09:04:45,917 --> 09:04:46,550 back that I'd have to explore a 15486 09:04:46,550 --> 09:04:49,550 little bit and discuss at 15487 09:04:52,289 --> 09:04:53,190 the board workshop in maldito. 15488 09:04:53,190 --> 09:04:56,523 >> I just want to make sure 15489 09:04:56,523 --> 09:04:57,262 that if we're passing like it 15490 09:04:57,262 --> 09:04:57,958 is we're passing it now that it 15491 09:04:57,958 --> 09:05:00,663 really is going to allow for 15492 09:05:00,663 --> 09:05:03,663 those odd lots or existing 15493 09:05:04,197 --> 09:05:04,901 structures and not make it 15494 09:05:04,901 --> 09:05:07,901 cumbersome for people to have 15495 09:05:08,237 --> 09:05:09,710 to come back and go through a 15496 09:05:09,710 --> 09:05:09,602 well, as I mentioned, there are 15497 09:05:09,602 --> 09:05:11,602 two two processes. 15498 09:05:11,907 --> 09:05:12,639 One is to get your neighbor to 15499 09:05:12,639 --> 09:05:15,744 agree to a setback easement and 15500 09:05:15,744 --> 09:05:16,478 so there can be recorded a 15501 09:05:16,478 --> 09:05:18,878 setback easement to accommodate 15502 09:05:19,915 --> 09:05:22,680 that set back on a portion of 15503 09:05:22,680 --> 09:05:23,281 their property and the other is 15504 09:05:23,281 --> 09:05:23,915 a variance process which 15505 09:05:23,915 --> 09:05:26,315 requires a public hearing 15506 09:05:26,853 --> 09:05:27,518 through the county through 15507 09:05:27,518 --> 09:05:29,918 the zoning administrator to 15508 09:05:30,354 --> 09:05:31,570 reduce that back that was built 15509 09:05:31,570 --> 09:05:34,570 into the original ordinance in 15510 09:05:38,364 --> 09:05:38,965 twenty nineteen and we don't 15511 09:05:38,965 --> 09:05:41,365 need any language about 15512 09:05:41,534 --> 09:05:42,199 grandfathering it in because 15513 09:05:42,199 --> 09:05:42,768 we're going to I mean you're 15514 09:05:42,768 --> 09:05:45,768 saying that we are but 15515 09:05:45,872 --> 09:05:46,605 shouldn't we put that in I mean 15516 09:05:46,605 --> 09:05:49,605 that's how the entire ordinance 15517 09:05:49,909 --> 09:05:53,509 operates that any any use that 15518 09:05:53,645 --> 09:05:54,346 was permitted under an existing 15519 09:05:54,346 --> 09:05:56,746 ordinance is grandfathered in 15520 09:05:57,683 --> 09:06:00,683 and any new proposal that 15521 09:06:01,553 --> 09:06:02,187 requires a permit or an 15522 09:06:02,187 --> 09:06:02,887 entitlement is subject to 15523 09:06:02,887 --> 09:06:03,188 the ordinance in place at that 15524 09:06:03,188 --> 09:06:05,188 time. 15525 09:06:05,723 --> 09:06:06,124 Ok, all right. 15526 09:06:06,124 --> 09:06:08,124 Thank you. 15527 09:06:12,730 --> 09:06:13,733 And with it, lisa hardy. 15528 09:06:13,733 --> 09:06:16,733 >> yes, I'm good with that. 15529 09:06:16,867 --> 09:06:17,501 Ok and the last I'm sorry 15530 09:06:17,501 --> 09:06:20,971 the last item was the good 15531 09:06:20,971 --> 09:06:21,572 standing as rita had had 15532 09:06:21,572 --> 09:06:23,972 mentioned, there is some 15533 09:06:24,708 --> 09:06:25,442 language in there regarding 15534 09:06:25,442 --> 09:06:28,211 the payment of certain taxes as 15535 09:06:28,211 --> 09:06:28,945 required by the code but we 15536 09:06:28,945 --> 09:06:31,748 would also like the opportunity 15537 09:06:31,748 --> 09:06:32,348 to look at that in a little bit 15538 09:06:32,348 --> 09:06:34,748 more detail to determine 15539 09:06:35,451 --> 09:06:36,116 legality and to make sure it's 15540 09:06:36,116 --> 09:06:39,116 placed in the right place 15541 09:06:39,823 --> 09:06:40,523 within the ordinance so we 15542 09:06:40,523 --> 09:06:40,954 could explore that further at 15543 09:06:40,954 --> 09:06:42,954 the workshop. 15544 09:06:43,559 --> 09:06:44,293 But I do not have proposed 15545 09:06:44,293 --> 09:06:47,293 language changes at this moment 15546 09:06:47,696 --> 09:06:48,630 to address that issue. 15547 09:06:48,630 --> 09:06:50,766 Ok, so I don't have to worry 15548 09:06:50,766 --> 09:06:51,368 about that. 15549 09:06:51,368 --> 09:06:52,670 And then there is 15550 09:06:52,670 --> 09:06:55,670 the understanding that we will 15551 09:06:55,570 --> 09:06:56,304 look at exclusionary zones 15552 09:06:56,304 --> 09:06:58,640 during the workshop and I know 15553 09:06:58,640 --> 09:06:59,124 that's not part of this. 15554 09:06:59,124 --> 09:07:01,124 Correct? 15555 09:07:02,810 --> 09:07:03,511 That's that's part of my draft 15556 09:07:03,511 --> 09:07:04,212 presentation that I'm already 15557 09:07:04,212 --> 09:07:04,612 working
