41 <br /> reapplying after denial . <br /> However, during our process, the Staff and County Attorney indicated <br /> disagreement with the Planning Board's interpretation. And, therefore <br /> we went on with the public hearing. <br /> The purpose of this motion is merely for the Planning Board to re-affirm <br /> its position to you. <br /> This is the second-industrial spe-.ci-al use permit we've had; the rest of them <br /> have been Planned Development Special Use Permits. And we've tried through- <br /> out, since the enactment of our Ordinance to refine the Planning Board's <br /> process in making Findings of Fact that are useful to the Board in suche <br /> that the Planning Board can also handle. <br /> We, ah, therefore, did it a little bit differently this time, again. What <br /> we did was rearrange the Ordinance essentially to take, first of all , the <br /> specific requirements that are required of all special use applicants; we <br /> then took the specific requirements that are required just for general <br /> aviation airports; we then considered the three general standards at the <br /> conclusion of our findings. <br /> The first two types of findings are those for which the applicant had the <br /> i the burden of proving compliance with. . You will find, I believe, that the <br /> Planning Board's avocation of findings, particularly when they find that the <br /> ( applicant did not meet its burden was because either there was lack of <br /> evidence or failure on the part of the applicant to rebut conflicting <br /> I testimony. <br /> i <br /> Our .findings are different from other findings that we've done in the past. <br /> in that, before we've acted on Staff's findings of fact and in this instance <br /> we made our own findings and did not take into account what the Staff had <br /> found; however, the Staff was there to advise us if necessary. <br /> With the Board's permission, I'll begin our findings. <br /> 1. North point scale and date. We found this contained within the <br /> I 2. The extent of area to be developed. The Planning Board found tha, it is . <br /> not clear in the record what areas are included in the development preps,-1 , <br /> particularly, the land of Mr. Leslie Walton. This is found on page 8, line <br /> 12-14 of the draft minutes of the July 8th meeting.' The vote was'6-2 on that <br /> motion. The Board seemed some concerned that there was mentioned in the <br /> proposal that Mr. Walton's land could be used if necessary, but yet was not <br /> specifically included in the proposal. <br /> f 3. Location wideths of all easements and rights-of way within or adjacent to <br /> the site. The Board found the plans as. submitted as deficient because they did <br /> not show the approach/departure zone easement or rights-of-way. The vote <br /> was four in favor, one against and three absentions. <br /> ! 4. Location of all existing or proposed and structures on the site. The Board <br /> found that that's contained within the application. <br /> 5. Location of all areas on the site subject to flood hazard or inundation as <br /> shown on the flood maps or soil maps. The Board found that that was contained <br /> within the application. <br /> ! 6_ Location of all water courses on the sites including direction of flow. <br /> This was also contained within the application. <br /> 7. Existing topography at a contour interval of 5' based on mean level datum. <br /> This was also contained within the application. <br /> 8. Proposed or existing fencing, screening, gates, parking, service and <br /> storage areas. This is contained in the application. <br /> 9. Access to site including site distances on all roads used for access. Thi_- <br /> also is contained in the application. <br /> 10. Elevations of all structures proposed to be used in the development_ <br /> While the Planning Board eventually found that this item was contained in the <br /> application, t P was some disagreement because within the applicant's pro- <br /> po:>al th::y sub- -�d pictures to us which did not indicate dimensions; further- <br /> more, there was later testimony by Mr. Hazzard that lacked some knowledge.Qf <br /> exact dimensions proposers for all strurtures. <br /> 11. Names and addresses of owners and applicants. This is contained in the <br /> application. <br /> P <br />
