PLANNING: CONSIDER ZPMH #2009 - NIGRO: Chris Goranson, Planning Department,
reviewed staff recommendation for approval and noted the reason this request
is before the Board is because the applicant did not obtain 70 percent of the
surrounding property owners' signatures. He indicated the Public Works
Department is requiring the existing access be utilized, and two letters of concern
from surrounding property owners were received. Responding to questions from
the Board, Mr. Goranson stated staff feels the mobile home will be compatible
with the surrounding area if set back from the road and maintained as proposed
by the applicant. Brent Nigro, applicant, confirmed the mobile home, including
a fence, yard, and a nice view, will have aesthetic value and be beautiful. He
also confirmed he will take care of the old barn on site. Responding to further
questions from the Board, Mr. Nigro stated he intends to place a single-wide
mobile home on site to keep his future options open. He noted he attempted to
contact all surrounding property owners and stated he has owned the property
for two years and has no plans to sell it. Brent Fisher, surrounding property
owner, reiterated his concerns as detailed in his letter dated March 25, 1996, to
Planning and responded to questions from the Board. (Changed to Tape#96-10
during discussion.) Mr. Goranson clarified for the Board that Lot A of RE#877,
which is the subject property, was approved in 1986, and then Lot B of RE#877
was amended in 1992. Mr. Nigro reiterated he has not improved the property
because he wants to do the whole project at one time. He noted the site will be
professionally landscaped and will be clean and beautiful. He also stated there
are mobile homes all around and his will be back, off the road. Responding to
further questions from the Board, Mr. Nigro stated he has not yet purchased the
mobile home but anticipates purchasing one worth $20,000.00. He noted he
lives on and owns Lot B of Amended RE #877; therefore, he, too, wants the
property to have aesthetic value. Mr. Nigro stated the home will probably be
used for family members or may be rented. After further discussion,
Commissioner Webster moved to approve ZPMH#2009 for Brent Nigro, including
the Conditions of Approval, based on the applicant's effort and because he feels
the home will not infringe upon the neighbors. Commissioner Baxter seconded
the motion and stated he has no problem with the compatibility of mobile homes,
which are all over the County. Mr. Barker noted Mr. Nigro indicated he agrees
with all Conditions of Approval, and the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDER CORRECTED LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR USR#1099 - KERSEY
COMMUNITY CHURCH (01/03/96): Mr. Barker explained USR #1099 was
approved at a public hearing in January 1996; however, the notice for said
hearing was published with an incorrect legal description. He stated a corrected
notice has been published and this hearing is open for any public comment
conceming said matter. Shani Eastin, Planning Department, reiterated the notice
for the Board's hearing was incorrect; however, the Planning Commission's
notice was correct; therefore, it does not need to be reconsidered by the Planning
Commission. Mr. Scholfield representing the Church stated he regrets a mistake
was made, but the construction is already in process. He reiterated his support
of this matter. Mr. Barker clarified the motion should affirm the Resolution
approved on January 3, 1996. Commissioner Baxter so moved, and
Commissioner Webster seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

CONSIDER RE #1833 - MOODY (CONT. FROM 02/14/96): Gloria Dunn,
Planning Department, reviewed staff recommendation for denial and reiterated
the reasons. She stated she has had meetings with J. Moody, applicant; Bruce
Johnson, applicant's representative; and Mr. Barker regarding the Board's
concern with the location of a residence on Lot B as discussed at the Board's
meeting on December 27, 1995; however, no options other than this recorded
exemption were resolved. She confirmed six acres were divided from Mr.
Moody's property by a staff-approved subdivision exemption in December 1995.
Mr. Johnson clarified if Mr. Moody's intent was to maximize development, he
would suggest the subdivision process; however, that is not his intent. He
reiterated various options were discussed and stated it is unreasonable to have
a building envelope requiring an exact location. Mr. Moody noted installation of
a sprinkler may invalidate a building envelope and answered further questions
from the Board. After further discussion, Chair Kirkmeyer voiced concern about
Mr. Moody purchasing the property as a whole and selling off pieces. She
clarified if his intent is to develop, it must be planned in an efficient and orderly
manner. Mr. Moody reiterated he bought the property as a whole to acquire the
reservoir and denial of this request will make it more difficult for him to keep the
property as a farm because he needs to sell Lot A to finance a sprinkler.
Commissioner Harbert confirmed Mr. Moody is splitting off Lot A for financial
purposes and suggested if further splits are requested on the east side of the
property the minor subdivision process be used. Mr. Moody stated he would
need only one more exemption on the southeast corner of the property. No
public testimony was given. Commissioner Harbert moved to approve RE#1833
for J. Gale Moody, including Conditions of Approval as submitted by staff, to
allow the applicant means to start an irrigation system. Commissioner Webster
seconded the motion, and Mr. Moody confirmed acceptance of the Conditions of
Approval. Commissioner Baxter stated this is a difficult decision, but he feels the
applicant intends to continue to farm the property; therefore, he will vote for the
motion. The motion then carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda.
There were no ordinances.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and
respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
