CONSIDER IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT ACCORDING TO POLICY
REGARDING COLLATERAL FOR IMPROVEMENTS (PRIVATE ROAD
MAINTENANCE) AND ACCEPTANCE OF LETTER OF CREDIT #55 AS
COLLATERAL FOR MEADOW VALE SUBDIVISION, SECOND FILING
(PLANNER HODGES): Mr. Hodges stated staff recommends this matter be
continued to Monday, May 12, 1997, and explained the amount of the Letter of
Credit is not sufficient because the paving is not completed; therefore, Don
Carroll, Public Works Department, will not sign off on this filing. He clarified the
paving was to be completed by May 6, 1997. Mr. Morrison confirmed the
amount of $50,000.00 will be sufficient once the paving is completed.
Commissioner Hall moved to continue said matter to May 12, 1997, and
Commissioner Harbert seconded the motion. Mr. Hodges stated the work was
not completed due to the weather, but it should be done this week. The motion
then carried unanimously.
CONSIDER REQUEST FROM HORTON CATTLE COMPANY TO
PREADVERTISE USR #1152 FOR EXPANSION OF FEEDLOT OPERATION -
NE1/4 S18, AND NW1/4 S17, T3N, R64W (PLANNER EASTIN): Shani Eastin,
Planning Department, stated the Planning Commission will hear this case on
June 17, 1997, and explained the reason for this preadvertisement request is
to allow the applicant to complete construction of new pens and the feedmill
prior to placing cattle in the fall. She noted the earliest the Board could hear the
matter would be June 25, 1997. Commissioner Webster moved to approve said
request, and the motion died for lack of a second. Responding to questions
from Commissioner Harbert, Ms. Eastin confirmed staff has done nothing to
delay the process of the application, nor has the applicant. Commissioner
Harbert stated there is a reason for the hearing process and the public must be
provided proper notification; therefore, the applicant should have started the
process earlier. Chair Baxter stated he understands the applicant is in a hurry
and confirmed with staff that the public would have the same amount of
notification time but less time between the Planning Commission and Board
hearings. Again in response to the Board, Ms. Eastin stated the feedlot has
expanded once through its other Permit, and this Permit is to increase the
number of animal units and further expand. Commissioner Harbert moved to
deny this request, indicating the written process established should be followed.
Commissioner Hall seconded the motion, and Commissioner Webster requested
a roll -call vote. Chair Baxter stated he will vote with the motion to allow the
people interested sufficient time and to prevent being criticized for rushing the
process. On a roll -call vote, the motion carried three to one, with Commissioner
Webster voting nay.
