What is the opening agenda and member disclosures for the Facilities Standards Manual Public Review Committee meeting?
All right everybody. I'd like to call it a order the October second, twenty twenty five Facility Standards Manual Public Standard Committee meeting. No members are re participating remotely and committee members disclose that they are members of one or more affected groups and their respective declarations of interest are kept on file in the minutes of the Facility Standards Manual Public Review Committee. Yeah, everybody's got Giant. Package of attachments from Laura. To prepare for a meeting today. Um Don't have any public comments, so Should go ahead and talk about the Dell HM. The multiple address in the minute.
So uh we had a public hearing on September 23rd for DOLAN 2025-0002. This is quite quite the combination, DOLAN. This was the um Full Worth uh zoning warrantry right interim standards tech memo. Uh chapter seven and eight. This was also the chapter six preliminary soils reviewed timeline change from thirty to sixty days. And the for Jimmy Stormwater Manager Handbook Updates. So Chapter five and that was also its own tech memo that went effective on July first. So that whole package went before the planning commission. Ultimately, they recommended they ordered it to the board with recommendation of approval. That item is scheduled for the November twelfth board public hearing. Um and I having did a great job.
They asked if there was um if basically uh one of the commissioners always asked us if there's any discussions that maybe were more colorful in uh maybe where there was an agreement right off the And Kevin always does a good job answering this question. He knows he's gonna get it. So I don't know what you share what you shared.
It's it's a blur. Um Well,
level spreaders, right? We had a healthy discussion about that. Um again. Was bad.
And I forget what the other thing is.
B factors couldn't be thrown out of the robot.
Jimmy had a lot of things. But again, you know, we came to a reasonable conclusion. Um And then uh the other one. Betsy brought up yeah Betsy brought up about the plat They have. additional information and how Yeah.
How did the committee review the September 23 public hearing, timeline changes, and related technical amendments?
And then we had a fair amount of discussion on that. So Um I we have to show that we're doing work and earning our key. So that was uh that was my comment.
Did a great job. I mean, they asked some questions about the timeline change from thirty to sixty days. And I think the fact that PSR Coin handled that masterfully, but the fact also that PSRs aren't required for every application type, only if you're on LOD or MOD, helped resolve some of that concern. And that was the timeline we were getting to today. Gwynn also explained that you could also have an outside consultant do it. Yeah, there's lots of options. You don't have to have a staff prepared at PSR. Um but there were a lot of comments about how technical the committee is. I don't know if you all are familiar that but um the planning kitchen chair is Cliff Kears, used to sit on this committee. Um so he's like, Well, if you've ever been in a committee
With those guys, you know how technical it is. And a lot of commissioners, even before they ask questions, were like, This is way more technical than I'm, you know, prepared to comment on, but Can you explain that's or you know, that kind of thing. But it was we were in and out really quick. Um But Kevin always has to say that we're all still friends.
Laura brings a baseball bat to the name of the. Certainly.
They get a lot of things for staff and initially disagree. And I think we always come, you know, we work it out, but I think they don't realize what we really do in these meetings. We we're candid and we see a lot of
pre-settings, so
that's true.
That's probably why. That is probably why.
Yeah, that's a good point. So it was it was a good experience as usual. Um The packet was almost 200 pages. It's just a lot of work. Thank you to the committee for getting us there. One more step. Um, these amendments we hope to put into effect January partnership twenty sixth. So even though they might be adopted in November, of course some of them are already in play due tech memo, so I feel kind of silly saying that.
