PLANNING: CONSIDER RE #1795 - MOODY: Mr. Barker informed the applicant that only four Board members are present, and in the event of a tie Chairman Hall would review the record and cast the deciding vote, or the applicant may request a continuance. Bruce Johnson, Real Estate Broker representing the applicant, requested the Board proceed. Chris Goranson, Planning Department representative, entered staffs recommendation and concerns into the record. He explained two residences exist on proposed Lot B, one of which was built in 1888 and the other in 1949, both of which are liveable. Mr. Johnson clarified the surrounding lots have been available to build on since 1887, and he does not see building in the near future. He explained the applicant's daughter may build a home on proposed Lot A, and he has potential buyers for proposed Lot B. Responding to questions from the Board, Mr. Johnson stated Mr. Moody is buying the property from Frank Booth, and Mr. Moody's son intends to farm it; however, none of the Moody family will live on proposed Lot B since they intend to sell it. He also confirmed Mr. Moody's daughter is not part of the farming operation and clarified the sale of the property is contingent upon this request. Commissioner Kirkmeyer reiterated this request is not consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone. Mr. Johnson stated proposed Lot A, which is five acres, is difficult to irrigate and is the only desirable buildable site. He clarified the 18 -acre lot was created in 1887 by deeds, not by a recorded exemption and confirmed the 13 acres will be sold for financial reasons for the farm. Mr. Johnson also confirmed water would be available to both proposed lots and stated an historical access exists on the southeast corner of proposed Lot A. Mr. Goranson reiterated staffs concern with creating a subdivision without Minutes, October 11, 1995 952107 Page 2 BC0016 regulations since approval of this request would create seven buildable sites instead of six. Responding to further questions from the Board, Mr. Johnson stated two improvements exist in the immediate area and clarified six buildable lot exist now, and this request will not create seven buildable lots, it will create the seventh buildable lot. He reiterated proposed Lot A is the only desirable lot to build on and confirmed adequate water will be available. No public testimony was offered. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the applicant is not living on the land or retiring, and the daughter is not involved in the farming operation. She stated she agrees with staff regarding the potential for six homes and voiced concerns about urban and agricultural conflicts. Responding to Commissioner Webster, Mr. Johnson stated a Condition of Approval requiring water to the lots is acceptable, and Mr. Barker entered suggested language into the record as Condition of Approval #5. Commissioner Webster moved to approve RE #1795 for J. Moody, with the Conditions of Approval, including Commissioner Harbert's request that no additional accesses be allowed as Condition of Approval #6. Commissioner Baxter seconded the motion and stated he agrees there is potential for development; however, it appears the lots are not desirable and building is not probable. He stated the request will benefit the farm by selling proposed Lot B; therefore, he will vote for the motion. Commissioner Harbert stated the area is ideal for Estate Zoning or a small subdivision, since there could be four homes on the corner alone, which she would like the potential buyers to pursue. She noted water is available, and sewer is close. Commissioner Webster clarified sewer is over one mile away and the ground is not a large, farmable piece; therefore, the owner should be allowed to do as he sees fit as long as he is not conflicting with the surrounding neighborhood. He also noted the Town of Eaton is growing to the east and had no objections. On a roll -call vote, Commissioners Kirkmeyer and Harbert voted nay and Commissioners Webster and Baxter voted aye. Chairman Pro-Tem Kirkmeyer stated Chairman Hall will review the record and cast the deciding vote, of which the applicant will receive notification.
