HEALTH:
CONSIDER PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING FOR USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (SUP #454) - HOWARD

Health and Environment, requested the Probable Cause Hearing be continued for six months. He stated
the clean up has been completed and staff anticipates the property owner will conclude the remaining
outstanding items within the next few months. Mr.Jiricek stated the site will still be overseen by the County
and State Health Departments, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and a Land Use
Covenant will be signed to ensure any buildings proposed to be constructed on the site will be reviewed
and approved by the three agencies involved. He further stated staff anticipates the applicant will also
request a vacation of the permit. Responding to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Jiricek gave a brief summary
of the action taken on the site beginning in 1995, and the Probable Cause process has been continued
and the permit was maintained in an effort to ensure no other uses would be started. Mr. Barker stated
the Probable Cause process was used as an enforcement measure while the EPA was conducting the
clean up measures. Mr. Jiricek stated the Probable Cause process also allowed the County to establish
institutional control of the site. He further stated the property taxes have not been paid on the site since
1995, nor has the property gone to tax sale. He stated this was done to ensure some unsuspecting
investor did not get involved, and the County does not have to assume responsibility from the EPA.
Commissioner Masden moved to continue this matter to June 12, 2002,at 9:00 a.m.,to allow the property
owner adequate time to review and sign a land use covenant and request vacation of Special Use Permit
#454. Commissioner Long seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
