t <br /> 06S <br /> 10 <br /> repair business. At .a later time they sol the land to Mr. Combs for the <br /> same use. He indicated that he continues to se this land to store cars from <br /> his business and that Orange County needs p ces to store these cars. This <br /> lot is not visible from the road and it se s a need in the community. <br /> In response to a question from Co issioner Gordon, Mr. Gledhill <br /> indicated that he was interested in the co ents made regarding a license. <br /> If a license needs to be purchased, Mr. Co will need to take care of that. <br /> However, the land use question needs to be esolved independent of whether <br /> or not Mr. Combs is licensed to do- busin S. The land use question is <br /> simple. Was .the property in question in w 'stence in a commercial way in <br /> 1981 which is when the zoning laws went into effect in this township? If it <br /> did, then there is a factual basis for rezor, the property to EC-5. That <br /> factual basis -would be that there was an e or in the zoning atlas. The <br /> error comes about because the intention of a County when the zoning laws <br /> were put into effect was to locate all of he commercial- operations that <br /> existed and to classify them EC-5 or some o or commercial classification. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked that item be referred-to the County <br /> Attorney and then to the Planning Board fo a recommendation, so that the <br /> Planning Board would have the attorney's in t. Mr. Gledhill indicated that <br /> he would put his comments in writing and fo rd them to the Planning Board. <br /> The Planning Board needs to decide if the believe that this commercial <br /> operation was located at its present loca 'on and to what extent it was <br /> operating in 1981., <br /> Commissioner Insko asked for clari ication as to what the Planning <br /> Board would mean if they recommended EC-5. ould they be recommending EC-5 <br /> as it existed in 1981 or as it exists Carr tly. If it was zoned EC-5 in <br /> 1981, would the buildings have been permitt ? Mr. Gledhill stated that if <br /> the buildings were a permitted use, they would have been approved for <br /> construction. If the use was a special use, an Mr. Combs would have needed <br /> a Special Use Permit. <br /> Mr. Gledhill indicated that the P1 ing Board's recommendation for <br /> EC-5 zoning will indicate whether ' or not the lot which is in question <br /> occupied that zoning lot in 1981. <br /> A motion was made . by Commis oner Halkiotis, seconded by <br /> Commissioner Insko, to refer this item to Planning Board to be returned <br /> to the Board-of Commissioners no sooner th October 5, 1992. <br /> VOTE: UNANINWS <br /> $s - - ase <br /> The following. people were sworn in by Hev y Blythe, Clerk to the Board: <br /> Roch Will, Bill Selvidge, Linda'Powers, Span a Dickinson, Jenny Shafer, John <br /> Hartley, Dave Laudicina and Eddie Kirk. <br /> This iteaLwas presented by Eddie k in order to receive citizen . <br /> comment on a proposed modification for an a itionai phase to the Heartwood <br /> Mountain Planned Development.
