~ '} B. W. D. Jones: This petition requests a rezoning from Residential to Rural Commercial for a one acre tract. The Planning Board endorsed this proposed change by a vote of nine to two. The County Commissioners had at a prior meeting requested the Planning Staff and Mr. Jones meet to design a buffer between the requested rezoned property from nearby residential area. The Acting Planning Diredtor, Hal Minis, informed the Board that existing cedar trees would serve as a buffer from surrounding property. Any trees which have to be taken out due to construction will be replanted. Vegetation will be maintained in all set back areas. Entrance to the pro- posed warehouse will be adjacent to the railroad track. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, _ it was moved and adopted to approve the rezoning request with the proposed buffer plan as presented by the Planning Staff. The Chairman asked Commissioner Willhoit to review with the Board the proposed Health Board 'legislation. Commissioner Willhoit informed the Board the Public Health Taws do not provide for staggered terms for Board members. He stated he had re- quested Patrice Solberg with the Institute of Government to draft legisla- tion which would provide for staggered terms. This legislation can be implemented th.e next time Health Board members are appointed. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to forward the proposed legislation to Representative Trish Hunt and request the legislation be introduced when she sees fit.
