Mr. Belle mentioned that the T.L. Oliver heirs, property owners in the Cedar Grove <br /> district have expressed opposition to being listed on the National Registry. They did not give a <br /> specific reason for this opposition other than a desire to have things remain as they are. The State <br /> would take this into consideration when the National Registry Advisory Committee meets. if a <br /> majority of property owners were in opposition the property would not be listed on the National <br /> Register. However, the National Registry Advisory Committee will issue a determination of <br /> eligibility. In that case,the property would be eligible to be listed. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Brown, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis, to refer <br /> the Cedar Grove Rural Crossroads Historic District National Register nomination to the Historic <br /> Preservation Commission for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners no sooner than September 16, 1997. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Chair Karen Barrows convened this portion of the Public Hearing and asked Emily Cameron <br /> to preserrt items#3 a)1 and 3 b)2&3. <br /> 3.

On <br /> May 21, 1997,the Board of Commissioners added standards and approval procedures for golf <br /> courses to the Zoning Ordinance. During preparation and review of the new regulations, the Golf <br /> Course Amendment Review Task Force(GoNCAR )and the Count Attorney recommended two <br /> revisions to provide consistency with the new golf course standards. The first revision pertains to <br /> changes to existing golf courses and will eliminate conflicting ordinance provisions. Existing golf <br /> courses are those which were in operation prior to May 21, 1997,when golf courses were <br /> permitted uses in most zoning districts. A second proposed change pertains to new golf courses, <br /> those approved with a Special Use Permit under the new regulations. There are no new golf <br /> courses at this time. Article 8.7.1 contains standards for revisions to all types of Special Use <br /> Permits. This section is used to identify which revisions require a public hearing and which may be <br /> approved by the Planning Department- The proposed amendment adds a similar set of standards <br /> to the golf course regulations in Amide 8.6.7.1 to specify which changes to a golf course Special <br /> Use PemhR require a public hearing and review by the Board of Commissioners. <br /> CQINMENTS ANQR QUESTION4 MQM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: <br /> Commissioner Crowther asked if the GolWART was recommending these changes?
