It was not considered a self-sustaining project at that time and <br /> is still not considered self-sustaining. As the second extension <br /> is pursued it needs to be establish whether it is a public <br /> health/economic development project being funded by ad valorem <br /> taxes or an enterprise which would need to be self-supporting. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit stated that when the Efland Sewer <br /> project was initially approved the intent was to set up an <br /> enterprise fund, realizing it might have a negative cash flow in <br /> the beginning. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Insko, to refer this item to the Planning Board for <br /> a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no <br /> sooner than April 1 , 1991 . <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 3. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment <br /> a. Article 4. 3 Permitted Uses- (Golf Driving & Practice <br /> Ranges) <br /> b. Article 8.8 Special Uses - Golf Driving & Practice <br /> Ranges) <br /> These presentations were made by Eddie Kirk. In <br /> summary these items were presented to receive public comment on a <br /> proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment to add a new section addressing <br /> Golf Driving and Practice Ranges as Class B Special Uses in the <br /> Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential (R-1 ) zones. <br /> Mr. Bradshaw has requested that Golf Driving and Practice Ranges <br /> be permitted uses in the Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural <br /> Residential (R-a) zoning districts. These ranges are currently <br /> considered as Recreational Facilities for profit and are permitted <br /> uses in the Community Commercial (CC-3) , General Commercial (GC- <br /> 4) and Industrial-1 ( I-1 ) zones. Although Golf Driving and <br /> Practice Ranges may be appropriate in low density residential <br /> areas, special conditions should be attached which allow for <br /> minimum disturbance in residential areas. This amendment would <br /> specifically set up a Golf Driving and Practice Range as a Class <br /> B Special Use Permit and provide specific standards that would <br /> apply in Agricultural Residential (AR) and Rural Residential (R- <br /> 1 ) zones. <br /> QUESTIONS AND/OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OR THE <br /> PLANNING BOARD <br /> Commissioner Gordon requested clarification as to why this <br /> item was being recommended for approval . Mr. Kirk indicated that <br /> a driving range is considered a recreational facility for profit. <br /> The change would be to allow a Class B use in an AR and R1 zone. <br /> He indicated that this kind of use would generate very little <br /> traffic . <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Insko, to refer this item to the Planning Board for <br /> a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no <br />
