21 <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 ants 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 'stance 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 rezo nq the property to EC-5. That <br /> factual basis -would be that there was an 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 inp t. Mr. Gledhill indicated that <br /> he would put his comments in writing and fo d 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 curt 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, en Kr. 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: zoninq 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.
