Adopted Minutes of the Orange County Board of Commissioners 39 October 5, 1992 5 of the property and that the density would need to be increased to make it workable from a financial standpoint. They also took into account the discussion of the transit corridors. They focused on the need for high density developments because the higher density would help support the transit system. The density of 1.74 is much lower than any kind of density required to support a transit system. The village itself may have the density that can support a system but when spread out over the entire development it would not. Commissioner Insko asked for a fiscal impact analysis on the tax base that a development like this would have. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to adjourn this item to November 23 , 1992 for the purpose of receiving additional public comments and additional information. The transition area change portion of the public hearing will be advertised. VOTE: UNANIMOUS D. Z-3-92 ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT - BRENDA CAROL AND DONALD WAYNE COMBS This rezoning request is being made to correct an apparent error in the Zoning Atlas. The applicant alleges the rezoning will correct an error in the Zoning Ordinance, in that the property was used for the storage of junked motor vehicles prior to the zoning of Bingham Township in 1981. Planning Staff has been unable to substantiate the applicant's claims through the examination of aerial photos. The Planning Staff recommended to the Planning Board that they recommend to the Board of Commissioners the disapproval of the request to rezone 1.84 acres.. The Planning Board recommends that the 200' x 200' lot be rezoned to Existing Commercial (EC-5) . The day following the Planning Board meeting, they received a letter from a person unable to attend the public hearing. The administration feels that the substance of this letter is enough to recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Combs rezoning request be referred back to the Planning Board for them to consider the new information that has been received. Bart Lloyd, Jr. , stated that four of the five who own property directly adjacent to the Combs' property have signed a petition which states their opposition to the rezoning. They petition the Board of Commissioners to uphold the Planning Staff findings and recommendation. They feel that the absence of automobiles in the photographs taken in 1981 and 1982 is sufficient evidence to repute claims that the property was used for commercial activity. He questioned the use of a garage on the property and the use of paid labor. Linda R. Noonan stated that she sees no reason for granting the rezoning. The area that*is proposed for rezoning is not directly adjacent to her land. However, the land that has been cleared of topsoil and trees•' is directly adjacent to her land. It. was suggested to Mr. Combs that he could not store automobiles there and that he needed to replant that area. As of today, there are automobiles on that area and no vegetation. There are cars stored in an area on this property that is not considered for rezoning. Motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Chair Carey to refer this rezoning request back to the Planning Board to consider new information received, and that the public hearing be continued to November 2, 1992, at which time a Planning Board recommendation will be considered. VOTE ON THE MOTION: UNANIMOUS
