Ratio Explanations PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the BOCC on a general use rezoning petition and Class A Special Use Permit (hereafter `SUP') modification submitted by Mr. Spence Dickinson in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance (hereafter `UDO'). BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the May 29, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing where staff indicated the purpose of the request was to rezone a 4.003 acre parcel of property (PIN 9871-54-9182): From: Rural Buffer(RB) and Planned Development Housing Rural Residential (PD-H-R1) To: Rural Buffer(RB) and remove the property from the provisions of a previously recorded SUP. The property in question is north of intersection of Blackwood Mountain Road (SR 2258) and Pathway Court, a private road maintained by the local homeowners association (please refer to Attachment 1). During the hearing, Mr. Dickinson indicated he was requesting the rezoning and SUP modification to remove the subject parcel from the development and zoning restrictions of the Heartwood SUP in an effort to address existing septic issues on an adjacent parcel of property. Public Hearing: During the hearing, the following comments/questions were posed concerning the application: • An adjacent property owner, Mr. Charles Lamb, indicated he had no problem with the request but wanted assurances that once the subject parcel was recombined with the adjacent property (i.e. the camp) there would be no vehicular access from that property onto Pathway Court and that the property would remain in a vegetated, undeveloped, state. STAFF COMMENT: Vehicular access would not be allowed as Pathway Court is a private road subject to the provisions of the Heartwood SUP. Only property encumbered by the Heartwood SUP can access the roadway.
