RIGHT, MR. JOYNER MS.. ELDER? YES, MS. CANEPA. ABSTAIN.
YES. NOW WE COME TO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS]
MR. GREENE.MEMBERS OF THE PC AND MR. WHITTEN. I WILL PRESENT REZONING ITEM 22-02.
AND THIS IS THE REQUEST OF JEFF OAKLEY, ROBERT FOREHAND JR.
AND BUCKINGHAM PINES TO CONDITIONALLY REZONE APPROXIMATELY 12.18 ACRES OF PROPERTY
[00:15:08]
FROM M-1 LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO M-2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.THE PURPOSE OF THE REZONING IS TO ACCOMMODATE EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USES BY HAVING THE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE LAND USES.
THE SUBJECT PROPERTIES ARE LOCATED ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF HARVEST ROAD IN AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL PARK LOCATED OFF OF PRINCE GEORGE DRIVE, ROUTE 156.
THE PROPERTIES ARE IDENTIFIED AS TAX MAPS NUMBERS 240(0A)00-69-A, B, F, G, K, L AND M. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FEATURES LAND USE MAP INDICATES THE PROPERTY IS PLANNED FOR FUTURE INDUSTRIAL.
THE NEXT PRESENTATION IS THE LOCATION MAP AND THE PROPERTIES TO BE REZONE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED.
THE NEXT MAP SHOWS THE EXISTING ZONING OF THE PROPERTIES IN QUESTION.
THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED M-1 GENERAL, I MEAN LIMITED INDUSTRIAL, AND THAT'S INDICATED BY THE LIGHT GRAY AREA WHICH I HAVE OUTLINED IN THE COLOR BLACK.
THE NEXT MAP IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, WHICH HAS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY INDICATED FOR FUTURE INDUSTRIAL WITH A SMALL PORTION ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL.
SINCE 1981, INDUSTRIAL USES RELATED TO TRUCKING AND TRUCK MAINTENANCE HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN THE HARVEST ROAD INDUSTRIAL PARK. AS STATED EARLIER, THE CURRENT ZONING OF THE PROPERTIES ARE M-1 AND THE PROPERTY IS USED FOR TRUCKING RELATED USES.
IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE APPROPRIATE ZONING FOR THE TYPE OF USES THAT HAVE EXISTED IN THE PARK SINCE 1981 SHOULD BE M2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL.
THE SUMMARY OF THE REQUEST IS AS FOLLOWS THE APPLICANTS OF THE LOTS IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARKS WISH TO HAVE THE TENANTS AND FUTURE INDUSTRIAL USERS USERS TO BE IN CONFORMANCE COMPLIANCE WITH THE COUNTY'S CURRENT ZONING ORDINANCE.
THEREFORE, THE APPLICANTS ARE REQUESTING THE REZONING FROM M1 TO M2.
THE OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT NO NEW BUSINESSES WILL BE LOCATED IN THE HARVEST ROAD INDUSTRIAL PARK AT THIS TIME, SO THERE WILL BE NO INCREASE IN TRAFFIC, NO DISTURBANCE OF LAND AND NO INCREASE IN NOISE.
PROFITS WERE VOLUNTARILY OFFERED BY THE APPLICANTS AND THEY WERE SUBMITTED AS PART OF THE REZONING APPLICATION. THE NEXT PICTURES THAT YOU SEE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE CURRENT LAND USERS THAT ARE IN THE HARVEST ROAD ON PARK.
NEXT, I WILL SUMMARIZE THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF COMMENTS.
THE PROPOSED REZONING AFFECTS LAND AND STRUCTURES THAT HAVE BEEN UTILIZED SINCE 1981 FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES AND LAND USES . CURRENTLY ALLOWED BY RIGHT IN THE M-2 GENERAL INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
THERE ARE NO NEW BUSINESSES THAT ARE PLANNED TO BE LOCATED IN THE PARK AT THIS TIME.
[00:20:10]
THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION ON ONE OF THE LOTS IN QUESTION.ALSO, ANY NEW TENANTS OR OWNERS WILL BE LIMITED TO LOCATE IN THE EXISTING PARK DUE TO THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE SPACE THAT'S THERE.
NO AGENCY OTHER THAN VDOT HAD ANY COMMENTS ON THE REZONING.
THEIR FIRST ISSUE WAS THAT NO TRAFFIC STUDY WAS PROVIDED WITH THE APPLICATION.
AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BECAUSE NO NEW BUSINESSES WILL BE LOCATED INTO THE EXISTING PARK AND STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED A CONDITION THAT ANY NEW BUSINESS LOCATED IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK WILL HAVE TO SUBMIT TRIP GENERATION DATA AND A [INAUDIBLE] WARRANT STUDY WITH A SITE PLAN.
THE ISSUE NUMBER TWO THAT VDOT HAD WAS THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE COMMERCIAL INTERESTS.
THE APPLICANT HAS VOLUNTARILY TO REPAY THE FIRST 15 TO 20 FEET OF THE CURRENT INTEREST.
THEREFORE THAT CONCERN STAFF FEELS IT'S GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
AND THE THIRD ISSUE WAS THAT VDOT RECOMMENDED THAT THERE BE A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT TIED TO THE APPLICATION.
BUT STAFF FEELS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED THOROUGHLY BECAUSE THE APPLICANT IS PLANNING TO REPAIR THE ENTRANCE AND HARVEST ROAD IS IN A GOOD CONDITION.
AND THERE ARE NO POTHOLES OR ANYTHING THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED.
AND THE ISSUE FOUR THAT VDOT HAD.
WAS WITH A PARCEL THAT WAS IN THE FIRST APPLICATION, WHICH SHOWED ONE OF THE PARCELS THAT HAD AN INTEREST OF ABOUT 56 STAFF ON THE APPLICANT ADDRESSED THAT WITH STAFF AND HE VOLUNTARILY REMOVED THAT PARCEL FROM THEIR APPLICATION.
SO THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
WITH THE APPLICATION THE APPLICANT PROFFERED NOT TO HAVE CERTAIN USES BE ALLOWED.
ON THOSE PARCELS THAT ARE GOING TO BE REZONED.
IN THE APPLICANT PROCESS, NOT TO HAVE BLACKSMITH SHOPS, SAWMILLS AND PLANNING MILLS, BRICK MANUFACTURE, BOILER SHOPS, MEAT, POULTRY AND FISH PROCESSING, CONSERVATION AREAS AND GAME AREAS.
THE APPLICANT HAS ALSO OFFERED TO REPAVE THE FIRST 15 TO 20 FEET OFF OF HARVEST ROAD.
ALSO THE COUNTY RECOMMENDED CONDITION, LIKE I STATED BEFORE, IS THAT ANY NEW BUSINESS THAT WILL LOCATE IN A PARK WILL REQUIRE THE TRIP.
THE TRIP GENERATION DATA AND THE TURN WARRANT STUDY AT THE TIME OF THE SITE PLAN.
[00:25:08]
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING REASONS.
THE APPLICANT REQUEST IS COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES.
THE REZONING CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
ALL ISSUES AND CONCERNS WITH VDOT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED.
THERE HAS BEEN NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS, AND THE APPLICANT HAS PROFFERED SEVERAL CONDITIONS WHICH STAFF FINDS SOME TO BE ACCEPTABLE.
THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL ANSWER THEM AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE ALSO.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. GREENE? MR. GREENE JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, YOU STATED THAT VDOTS CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS HAD BEEN RESOLVED.
THE PAVING OF THE FIRST 15 TO 20 FEET.
BUT THE SLIDE SHOWED THAT THE VDOT CONCERN WAS ALSO THAT A ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT PUT IN PLACE.
STAFF FEELS THAT THAT IS NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THE ROAD IS IN A GOOD STATE RIGHT NOW.
DO I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THAT ALL THE PROPERTY THAT IS BEING REQUESTED TO BE REZONED IS OWNED BY MR. FOREHAND OR MR. OAKLEY? YES, SIR.
SO ALL OF THE LOTS THAT THE PIECE OF PROPERTY.
IT'S THREE ENTITIES BUT JEFF OAKLEY IS [INAUDIBLE] HE IS THE LLC.
I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IN MY OWN MIND.
WHAT ARE THE APPLICANTS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY THIS? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT TOMORROW MAY BRING AS A RESULT OF ALL OF THIS BEING REZONED FROM M-1 TO M-2? WHAT THE APPLICANT IS BASICALLY TRYING TO DO IS THAT THE USERS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT'S THERE NOW THE PROPER ZONING FOR THOSE USERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN M-2.
SO SO STAFF AND THE APPLICANT IS TRYING TO MAKE THE CURRENT LAND USES TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING AND OUR OWN.
AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE AND THEY CAN STATE FURTHER WHY THEY ARE SEEKING.
[INAUDIBLE] IT APPEARS THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO CLEAN UP.
YES, SIR. WHAT'S THERE? YES. THAT'S THE FIRST BLUSH.
YES. ANYONE ELSE? THANK YOU, MR. GREENE.
ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK NEEDS TO COME TO THE PODIUM PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
IF THE APPLICANT WOULD LIKE TO COME FORTH AND SPEAK, THAT'S FINE.
I THINK MR. GREENE PRESENTED IT VERY WELL.
TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE COMMISSION.
CHAIRMAN I MOVE FORWARD REQUEST RG 22-02 TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, SUBJECT TO THE RECOMMENDATION.
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT AND THE APPLICANT'S PROFITS.
[00:30:06]
SECOND. OK.CAN YOU CALL THE ROLL THANK YOU. THE NEXT BUSINESS IS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST.
WHICH FROM DENNIS AND WENDY PLEAR.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING ONCE AGAIN.
IF WE NEED TO REFER TO ANYTHING.
THE PROPERTY IS ABOUT 2.76 ACRES IN SIZE.
IT'S LOCATED AT 10608 WALTON LAKE ROAD AND IS IDENTIFIED AS TAX MAP NUMBER 440 (0A)00-001-0.
AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE COUNTY INDICATES THE PROPERTIES PLAN FOR RESIDENTIAL USES.
ON THIS LOCATION MAP YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY OUTLINED IN RED ON WALTON LAKE ROAD.
ON THIS SLIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY AGAIN OUTLINED IN BLUE.
AND ON THE AERIAL VIEW, YOU CAN SEE THE PROPERTY IN RELATION TO ITS SURROUNDINGS.
AND BASICALLY THEY WANT TO TAKE.
THEY WANT TO BREED DOGS ON THE PROPERTY.
THEY ALREADY HAVE 6 OR 7 LABRADOR RETRIEVERS AND THEY KEEP THEM IN THE KENNELS.
THIS WAS A PHOTO TAKEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR REQUEST.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE THE SIZE OF THE KENNELS THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE FOR THEIR DOGS THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE ON THE PROPERTY, AND THEY WANT TO MOVE THEM TO THE SPOT SPOT IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, CLOSER TO THE ROAD, WHICH YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTO ON THE BOTTOM THAT THE EMPTY SPACE IS APPROXIMATELY WHERE THEY WANT TO RELOCATE THE KENNELS.
SO THERE ARE ALREADY DOGS THAT THEY HAVE AND THEY THEY WANT TO BREED THEM AS A BUSINESS.
AND WE'LL GET INTO THE SOME MORE OF THE DETAILS.
THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN 7 ADULT DOGS, AND THOSE WOULD PRODUCE AN AVERAGE OF 4 TO 6 LITTERS PER YEAR.
AND MOST OF THOSE WOULD BE ADOPTED AROUND 8 WEEKS OLD AND THERE WOULD BE A LIMIT OF 12 WEEKS.
SO THESE ARE GOING TO BE LEAVE THE PROPERTY BEFORE YOU STOP CALLING THEM PUPPIES.
THEY'LL BE PUPPIES WHILE THEY'RE ON THE PROPERTY.
SO SMALL, SMALL DOGS ONLY FOR THE BREEDING TIME PERIOD.
THERE WOULD BE A LIMIT OF A MAXIMUM OF 20 PUPPIES ON THE PROPERTY AT A TIME.
AND THEY'VE EXPLAINED, THE APPLICANTS HAVE EXPLAINED THAT THAT'S THAT'S REALLY AN UPPER LIMIT THAT THEY DON'T EXPECT TO ACTUALLY HAVE ON THE PROPERTY ON ANY REGULAR BASIS EXCEPT AN EXCEPTIONAL TIME PERIOD, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE CONSISTENTLY ADOPTING THE PUPPIES OUT BEFORE THEY HAVE ANOTHER LITTER.
THEY WOULD MANAGE THAT THAT PROCESS TO HAVE A CONSISTENT LESS THAN THAT NUMBER.
I'LL SHOW A VISUAL IN A MOMENT THAT THEY WOULD BIRTH THE PUPPIES PRIMARILY IN THE SHEDS.
THEY WOULD BE BIRTHING PUPPIES ONLY INDOORS IN THEIR HOUSE OR IN THE SHED, DEDICATED SHED.
THERE'LL BE FRENCH DRAINS AND CONCRETE SLABS.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THE AREAS DRY AND THEY PLAN IN THE FUTURE TO MAYBE PLACE A SHED THAT COULD BE A DEDICATED AREA FOR CUSTOMERS TO COME AND MEET A PUPPY INDOORS BEFORE ADOPTING THEM.
[00:35:05]
REALLY.THEY WOULD THEY WOULD LIMIT CUSTOMER VISITS TO ONE FAMILY AT A TIME BY APPOINTMENT.
SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC FROM THIS.
IT WOULD BE MOSTLY ON THE WEEKENDS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF BETWEEN BUSINESS HOURS EFFECTIVELY.
THEY PLAN TO USE VARIOUS METHODS TO PREVENT ISSUES FROM BARKING.
SO THERE WOULD BE ANY NEW NOISE IMPACT WOULD BE REALLY JUST PUPPIES.
AND SO FOR DOGS THAT ARE OVER ONE YEAR OLD, WHICH MEANS THAT THE DOGS THAT ARE BEING BRED, THAT ARE BREEDERS, THOSE THEY WOULD USE OTHER MEANS TO KEEP THEM QUIET. I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO DETAILS, BUT THEY HAVE COLLARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO WORK ON THAT.
THEY WOULD WORK TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE POTENTIAL FOR ODOR BY CLEANING THE AREAS REGULARLY WITH SOLUTION AND GROOM THE DOGS REGULARLY.
YOU CAN START TO GET A VISUAL UNDERSTANDING HERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PLAT, YOU CAN SEE THE RECTANGLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY IS THE HOUSE AND YOU CAN SEE SOME X'S WHERE THEY ARE SHOWING THAT THEY WILL REMOVE THOSE STRUCTURES AND KENNELS THAT ARE BEHIND THE HOUSE AND RELOCATE THEM TOWARD THE ROAD IN BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE ROAD.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE TRIANGLE IN YELLOW COLOR INDICATES WHERE THERE WILL BE A FENCED AREA WITH THE KENNELS INSIDE OF THAT, AND THAT THE DARK ORANGE OR DARK YELLOW SHED OR RECTANGLE BELOW THAT FENCE TRIANGLE IS THE PLACE WHERE THEY POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE A SHED TO PUT THE SHED TO WELCOME CUSTOMERS TO MEET PUPPIES ON THE PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE THAT AGAIN HERE WITH AN AERIAL VIEW AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE PLACES WHERE THEY WANT TO HAVE THE KENNELS AND THE SHED ARE JUST AS FAR BACK FROM THE ROAD AS THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE IS.
THIS WOULD FALL UNDER A LAND USE CATEGORY CALLED ANIMAL BOARDING PLACE.
THERE'S A DEFINITION IN THE ORDINANCE.
IT'S THERE, AND YOU CAN SEE IT INCLUDES THE WORDS BREEDING OR CARE OF DOGS.
THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR CASES IN THE PAST.
THERE WAS IN 2009, THERE WAS A DOG BREEDING FOR UP TO TWO LITTERS PER YEAR.
AND THERE WAS A REQUEST IN 2019 FOR A DOG BOARDING PLACE AS A HOME BUSINESS.
EXPECTED IMPACTS OF THIS WOULD BE LIMITED TRAFFIC, VERY LIMITED TRAFFIC FROM CUSTOMERS.
OCCASIONALLY YOU HAVE AGAIN, YOU'VE ALREADY GOT 6 OR 7 ADULT DOGS AND SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
BUT THERE WOULD BE UP TO 20 PUPPIES REGULARLY ON THE PROPERTY AWAITING ADOPTION.
THEY'LL ALL BE VARIOUS AGES AND POTENTIAL FOR ODOR FROM DOGS.
SO THE MITIGATION, THERE'S VARIOUS CONDITIONS THAT STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED TO TO ADDRESS THESE POTENTIAL IMPACTS THAT ANY SHEDS THAT THEY WOULD BUILD WOULD NEED TO HAVE ZONING PERMITS AND MEET ALL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BUILDING BUILT IN THE COUNTY.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS UP BY THE ROAD.
THIS SEEMS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA IN GENERAL AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
IT'S STILL A PRIMARILY A RESIDENTIAL USE.
SO JUST HAVE A LOT OF PUPPIES.
THE WITH AN UPPER LIMIT ON THAT TOO.
AND VDOT SAID THE EXISTING ENTRANCES ADEQUATE TO SUPPORT THE TRIPS EXPECTED FOR THIS.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AS IS STANDARD, ASKED FOR A LETTER TO CONFIRM THAT THE SEPTIC SYSTEM IS ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE LEVEL OF BUSINESS USE THAT THEY HAVE PLANNED ON THIS PROPERTY. AND THE ANIMAL SERVICES DIVISION IS AWARE OF THIS.
[00:40:04]
THEY SAID THE ONLY POTENTIAL THEY CAN SEE IS IS FOR NOISE COMPLAINTS.UH, THEY THEY EXPRESSED SOME PRETTY STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS TAKE PLACE.
BUT YOU DIDN'T INCLUDE IT IN THIS COMMENT'S REVIEW.
IN FACT, SOMEBODY WHO EVER MADE UP THIS SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT, PUT IT IN BLOCK [INAUDIBLE].
ARE YOU LOOKING AT A PARTICULAR PAGE NUMBER? ON PAGE I'M SORRY ON PAGE 11.
I COPIED AND PASTED FROM AN EMAIL IT'S BASICALLY WHAT I SAID.
YEAH. SHE'S JUST STATING STATING WHAT'S IN THE THEIR REPORT FOR THIS HOUSE.
THERE'S A CONDITION THAT CONFIRMS THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET THAT.
WHERE IS THAT WATER WHEN IT PERCOLATES DOWN INTO SOIL? WHERE IS IT GOING? HOW FAR IS IT FROM THE WELL, BECAUSE THE FECES FROM ANIMALS IS PRETTY POTENT.
AND THERE'S A LAKE OR CLOSE BY.
AND I'M ASSUMING THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO ADDRESS THAT.
GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION IS NOT AN ISSUE IF WE APPROVE THIS APPLICATION.
OK THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT DIDN'T DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
SO I WILL SAY THAT THEY'RE MOVING THE STRUCTURES FROM CLOSE THERE.
RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE CLOSER TO THE POND AND THEY'RE MOVING THEM FARTHER AWAY.
SO AT LEAST THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT ALREADY.
BUT I WON'T ADD ANYTHING ELSE.
I'LL LET THEM RESPOND TO THAT AS FAR AS IF THEY HAVE ANY PARTICULAR PLANS ON THAT.
SO STAFF HAS A LIST OF CONDITIONS THAT WE RECOMMEND TO TRY TO MITIGATE ANY POTENTIAL CONCERNS HERE.
AGAIN, REALISTICALLY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT MANY ON THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THE ANIMAL BOARDING PLACE IS SPECIFICALLY FOR BREEDING.
IT'S NOT FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING OF DOGS.
SO THIS IS JUST THE BREEDING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT.
THERE'S CONDITIONS STATING THAT THE MAXIMUM ON THE THE AGE OF THE PUPPIES, THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LITTERS PER YEAR, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE RECORDS TO THAT IF WE EVER NEED TO CHECK THIS THAT WE CAN CONFIRM COMPLIANCE.
THERE WILL BE ONSITE PARKING ONLY.
ALL DOGS WILL BE KEPT LEASHED, FENCED OR INDOORS.
THEY WON'T BE RUNNING ON FREE ON ADJACENT PROPERTIES.
THEY'LL NEED TO SCREEN VIEW THE KENNELS FROM THE ROAD.
THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS AS INVISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC DRIVING BY AS AS POSSIBLE.
THE THEY WOULD CLEAN EVERYTHING REGULARLY.
THEY'RE LIMITED TO ONE SMALL SIGN.
THERE'S NO EMPLOYEES OTHER THAN THE TWO APPLICANTS, AND THEY MUST ACCOMMODATE UNANNOUNCED ANIMAL SERVICES VISITS SO THAT THEY CAN BE CHECKED ON IF NEEDED.
SO THAT GIVES THE IDEA OF, AGAIN, TRYING TO ADDRESS EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED.
WITH EVERYTHING CONSIDERED STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL SUBJECT TO TO THE LIST OF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS WHICH ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT AND IN THE DRAFT ORDINANCE THAT WOULD GO TO THE BOARD. IF YOU FORWARD THIS TO THE BOARD AND OUR BASIS FOR THAT RECOMMENDATION IS IT APPEARS TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE CURRENT AND FUTURE SURROUNDING USES.
RESIDENTIAL USES IN THIS AREA.
AND THERE'S NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, NO OPPOSITION THAT WE'VE HEARD FROM ANY ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS.
[00:45:05]
WE ADVERTISED THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER AND SENT LETTERS TO EVERYONE AS IS STANDARD AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANY OPPOSITION.AND THE APPLICANT HAS REVIEWED THE STAFF REPORT AND THEY SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME FOR ME? ANYONE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. AND DENNIS OR WENDY, DID YOU WANT TO COME UP AND SAY ANYTHING OR DO YOU WANT TO COME UP? WELL, IT'S LOVELY TO MEET EVERYONE.
THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE HERE DOING THIS.
I DID WANT TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE WELL.
THE WELL IS LOCATED TOWARDS WHERE THE THE LAKE IS BEHIND OUR HOUSE IN THE VERY CORNER.
SO IT'S ABOUT IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 150 FEET BACK FROM THE AREA.
HIS RECOMMENDATION TO US WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SO FAR AWAY FROM THE WATER THAT WE JUST USE A BLEACH AND WATER SOLUTION AFTER WE CLEANED THE AREAS UP.
BUT THEY'RE WILLING TO COME OUT AND DO ALL THE APPROPRIATE THINGS I HAVE THEM SET UP.
IF THIS GOES THROUGH, THEY WILL COME RIGHT OUT AND AND ADDRESS THAT.
SO ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTION? OKAY. THANK YOU. OK.
WHAT IS YOUR WISH? ALL RIGHT, WE OPEN THIS UP FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING IF ANYONE IS HERE FOR OR AGAINST WOULD YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE 3 MINUTES TO SPEAK.
SEEING NO ONE. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU, COMMISSIONER.
IT HAS BEEN MOTIONED BY MRS. CANEPA AND SECOND BY STEVE BROCKWELL.
WILL YOU CALL THE ROLL, PLEASE? THANK YOU.
OK. AT THIS TIME, WE WILL HAVE COMMUNICATION
[COMMUNICATIONS]
ALL RIGHT. FIRST ITEM IS ACTIONS OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS.LINDA MCALLISTER AND CAROL WOODWARD.
AND THERE WERE NO CASES AT THAT MEETING.
THEIR ACTIONS, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
THERE WAS A LOT ON THE DECEMBER 13TH, 22 AGENDA AND THEY APPROVED FOUR ITEMS. ONE WAS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST FOR THE COUNTRY CLUB AND GOLF COURSE AT JORDAN POINT.
ANOTHER ONE WAS THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR THE HOME DAYCARE FOR UP TO 10 CHILDREN, AND THEY ALSO APPROVED THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY WHICH ZONING DISTRICTS ALLOW PRIVATE ANIMAL BOARDING PLACES, WHICH THAT'S PERSONAL KEEPING OF DOGS NOT COMMERCIAL, NOT BUSINESS.
[00:50:10]
AND REGARDING UPCOMING CASES, WE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ONLY HAVE ONE CASE SCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY PLANNING COMMISSION.IT LOOKS LIKE WE ONLY HAVE ONE CASE THAT WILL BE A AN INDUSTRIAL REZONING SIMILAR TO ONE WE'VE RECEIVED BEFORE FOR TRUCK TRACTOR TRAILER PARKING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF WHILE YOU HAVE US? THEY APPROVED IT. OKAY.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE COMMISSION? HEARING NOTHING I REALLY WILL TRY REALLY HARD TO CONDUCT A BETTER MEETING NEXT TIME.
I THANK YOU AGAIN AND I WILL SEE YOU AND I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN MYSELF.
NO, I WANT TO SAY ONE MORE THING.
I WANT TO SEE YOU ALL AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION.
I'LL JUST SAY ONE LAST THING FOR COMMUNICATIONS.
WE JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHEN THERE WAS A CASE THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER, AND I'M GLAD THEY BROUGHT IT UP SO WE CAN EXPLAIN THAT THEY WAS A CASE FOR DIAMOND PARK PROPERTY TO BE REZONED TO INDUSTRIAL.
AND THEY HAVE WITHDRAWN THAT REQUEST.
THEY WILL. THEY'RE WORKING WITH STAFF.
THEY PLAN TO SUBMIT A DIFFERENT APPLICATION.
THANK YOU. CAN I GET A MOTION THAT WE ADJOURN PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
