3a9 <br />Land Use Plan. <br />Commissioner Marshall asked if it would be possible to have the old <br />standards apply to the 5~ nonconforming areas and the new standards apply <br />to the remaining 95%. Collins suggested an alternative would be to leave <br />those properties that were developed with a one acre standard in an R1 <br />district where the lot sizes are 40,000 square feet. It would not <br />address every single lot in that area but it would greatly reduce the <br />number of lots affected by the two acre lot minimum standard <br />considerably. <br />Collins indicated in answer to a question .from David Shanklin the <br />advantages of a two acre minimum lot size. <br />Planning Board member Steve Yuhasz asked what particular advantages <br />will be accrued to the county to create a large number of nonconforming <br />lots. Collins indicated the real advantage is that the intent of the <br />Rural Buffer would be carried out by applying the standards as uniformly <br />as possible throughout that area. Anytime a change is made where zoning <br />is being applied there will be lots placed in a nonconforming status. <br />In answer to a question from Commissioner Carey, Collins indicated <br />that the number of nonconforming lots where a contiguous lot is owned by <br />the same person is unknown. <br />In answer to a question about notice of public hearings, Barry Jacobs <br />explained the procedure that is followed. <br />Note: The Public Hearing was opened at this point for the purpose of <br />receiving public comments or additional questions. <br />_.. 1. REGINA NOBBLITT spoke in opposition of the proposal. She owns <br />two acres of land and objects to the fact that she cannot give one acre <br />to her son to build a home. <br />2. DELOIS TURNER expressed her difficulty in getting a building <br />permit. <br />3. JOHN SHERRON spoke in opposition of the proposal indicating he <br />would do on his acre whatever he wanted. <br />4. JOHN LATE spoke in opposition of the proposal. <br />5. LOTS BURNETTE spoke in opposition of the proposal and the fact <br />that the County Commissioners are requiring the taxpaying citizens to <br />build on two acres of land. <br />6. TOM HEFFNER spoke in opposition of the proposal. He expressed a <br />concern that the requirement of two acre minimum lot size will increase <br />lot prices by at least 10$ while the current market value of the raw <br />undeveloped land will decrease. He suggested that a one acre minimum be <br />approved for those who want only a one acre lot. He noted that usually <br />dup to soil perk problems most developments have lots between 1 acre and <br />2 acres. He stated that the extension of water and sewer should be <br />encouraged because of the health problems associated with septic tanks. <br />In answer to a question from Planning Board member Peter Kramer, Heffner <br />stated that the developer will receive a return on .investment but that <br />from an economic standpoint, a developer will pay more for land that they <br />can develop at a ratio of one lot per acre than for a piece of land they <br />would develop at a ratio of one dwelling per two acres. <br />
