OTHER BUSINESS Proposed site plan and subdivision review process changes: Bill Fritz Mr. Fritz explained the proposed site plan and subdivision review process changes. The ARB had the following comments: 1. The ARB agrees that staff should proceed on this recommendation. 2. There is some process that could allow for early grading, but you can't create design standards to specify appropriate building location for every situation. The ARB review includes some level of subjectivity. Building location and site access /egress will be�needed for review. 3. An ARB staff person should be a regular member of the SRC to provide guidance. 4. All county (public) buildings should be subject to ARB review. 5. Reject, without review, incomplete applications. 6. Make an "approved project" manual available for applicant review.
