If approved, the property <br />would be rezoned RB exclusively. <br />The requested also involves a modification to the existing Special Use Permit, issued by <br />the County in the late 1980's, allowing for the development of the Heartwood and Blackwood <br />Mountain residential subdivision. Specifically, the applicant is requesting that the parcel be <br />removed from the requirements and development standards of the aforementioned Permit <br />governing development within the Heartwood subdivision. <br />The applicant is requesting the modification and rezoning to address septic and <br />development issues on an adjacent property. If approved, this lot will become part of the <br />adjacent Creative Learning Center, also owned by the applicant, and contain the septic system, <br />and required repair area, for the existing summer /day camp. <br />As an adjacent property owner you have the right to address the Board(s) concerning this <br />request. The meeting to review this case is scheduled for Tuesday May 29, 2012 at 7 :00 p.m. in <br />
