Receive the proposal to amend the Zoning Atlas. <br /> 2. Conduct the Public Hearing and accept public, BOCC, and Planning Board comment on <br /> the proposed amendment. <br /> 3. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be <br /> returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the April 15, 2014 BOCC <br /> regular meeting. <br /> 4. Adjourn the public hearing until April 15, 2014 in order to receive and accept the <br /> Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> Buddy Hartley asked if there were any questions from the boards. <br /> Michael Brough, representing Sunny Acres, said he and the owners of the kennel are <br /> available for questions. He said this will essentially eliminate split zoning of this property. He <br /> said the reasoning behind this request is a possible future expansion of the kennel in future. <br /> He said it is in the interest of the general public to have a single tract of land, under single <br /> ownership, zoned the same way. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin referred to the skinny rectangle in the middle of the map, as well <br /> as the front small piece, and asked if these were separate parcels. <br /> Michael Brough said these were separate and he is not sure whether these have been <br /> combined, but if not, this will happen as part of the next step. He knows there has been an <br /> acquisition of additional acreage since the property was first purchased. He said he has a <br /> survey, and this may be combined or it may not be. He said it is all effectively one tract of land. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Price to: <br /> 1. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be <br /> returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the April 15, 2014 BOCC <br /> regular meeting. <br /> 2.
