RANCH COMPANY: Kerni Keithly, Department of Planning Services, made this

County Commissioners approved SUP -3 for Bragg Ranch Company, permitting
a commercial hog operation. Currently, the property is owned by fifteen
separate property owners and the commercial hog operation no longer exists.
Ms. Keithly stated the Department of Planning Services sent letters to all the
property owners, asking that they send a letter requesting the vacation of the
permit. Staff also attempted to contact property owners by phone, however,
responses were not received from two property owners. Lee Morrison,
Assistant County Attorney, recommended that a Show Cause Hearing be set
and notices mailed to the two remaining property owners. The letter sent out
by staff stated that a show cause hearing would be set, therefore, it would be
necessary to set a show cause to allow the property owners the opportunity to
respond. Mr. Morrison stated that if we received notice from the property
owners of voluntary abandonment, the hearing would not have to be held. He
also indicated the hearing does not require publication. Commissioner Hall
moved to set a Show Cause Hearing for September 3, 1997, with the condition
that if the two remaining property owners voluntarily agree to abandon the
permit, the hearing will be vacated. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the
motion carried unanimously.
