Ms. Gesick also recognized the original 1/3 waiver request was based on a total bonus amount of $12,550.00, but said amount is the cost per acre, so the overall bonus amount with 320 acres in consideration is $4,016,000.00 and a 1/3 waiver resulting in $1,338,666.66.

PLANNING: 1) CONSIDER PARTIAL VACATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SUP -170 — DIAMOND LAND, LLC: Michael Hall, Department of Planning Services, presented the location of the permitted property and feedlot layout, which is owned and operated by Diamond Land, LLC. He explained the staff -initiated partial vacation seeks to remove a 2.17 -acre excepted parcel, created in 1973, from SUP -170, as it was purchased in November of 2016 by Taurino Martinez Cabrera. He further stated the parcel was created prior to subdivision regulations and was erroneously included in the SUP -170 boundary; however, it has never been part of the feedlot operation. An anonymous complaint was received concerning the operation of a commercial landscaping business, and rather than pursuing a Probable Cause / Show Cause process and consequently penalizing the feedlot, which is not at fault, staff recommended approval of this partial vacation, thus allowing the matter to be processed as an independent zoning violation specific to the Cabrera property. Mr. Hall displayed aerial images of the site and surrounding uses, and explained there are property line issues which will also need to be addressed. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Hall confirmed the only cost to the applicant will be preparing and recording the amended mylar plat. Mr. Barker confirmed no public input was necessary. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve said partial vacation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner James, and it carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
