RE:
Original August 28th Planning Document for regulatory amendments
Revised August 28th Planning Document for regulatory amendments
Both of these documents are dated August 28th. All of the detailed changes to existing regulations in both documents are identical.
The recommendations section, however, has been reversed in the revised version. There is no indication in the revised document that it now contains a reversal of opinion.
Mr. Miller’s revised recommendation would perpetuate Elbert County’s exposure to the spurious conclusions of Judge Holmes in the SVV case.
The BOCC should act with all due prejudice in this matter as soon as possible, and Mr. Miller’s subversion of his original recommendation should not be tolerated. Mr. Miller is quite wrong in characterizing the “advisory” nature of the master plan as a matter of “desire.” This is a matter of law, a matter of a long-standing precedent course of dealing, and a matter of rectifying an act of judicial hubris.
Mr. Miller’s new-found position that a resolution of the advisory nature of the master plan, if “desired” (by whom?), should be left to a complete re-write of all county regulations, is completely disingenuous. He knows full well that Elbert County can’t even get a rewrite to the master plan done, let alone a complete revamp of county regulations. The BOCC should put a stop to Mr. Miller’s hubris too.
If Elbert County citizens want a regulatory master plan they should vote on the question. Judge Holmes and Mr. Miller should not be deciding this matter between themselves.
