f~ <br />Jay Bryan: Are we being asked to approve this small area plan? Does that plan include a recommendation <br />for implementation? This whole proposal is not what we are voting on tonight. <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: What are we voting on tonight? <br />Jay Bryan: The small area plan on pages 79-127 up to but not including the appendices. It includes the <br />REDA section? <br />Glenn Bowles: It introduces the REDA. <br />Jay Bryan: Does anyone need any more information about the plan? <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: On page 135, how does the information listed about the speedway relate to what is in the <br />plan? <br />Glenn Bowles: Everything listed about the speedway and/or the go-kart track was derived from the listing of <br />issues, constraints, liabilities and opportunities that was early in the report. <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: The ownership of the speedway, not having a concept of this may or may not be coming <br />forward, has what type of comments to this list? <br />Glenn Bowles: He thinks it is a constraint on him. If the speedway isn't going to make it, he wants a list of <br />acceptable uses for that site. We are not prepared to do that. <br />Craufurtl Goodwin: Referring to planning principals; Preservation of projection of area rural, we were told <br />there is a lot of noise. Impacts to the natural systems, there seem to be nothing but impacts. Growth <br />development to compliment rural character and lifestyle, the whole thing seems to bean impact. <br />Glenn Bowles: If you go back to look at the planning principals, they are complimentary of the goals you are <br />being ask to look at. <br />Craufurd Goodwin: Will these help get a resolution of the problem? <br />Glenn Bowles: They organize the objectives. <br />Brian Crawford: I'm not sure how long the speedway has been there. It would seem that this situation is <br />that no matter how many environmental issues are attended with its use to come in on a retroactive basis <br />and impose economic conditions which are so substantive in nature they cannot afford to do them. <br />Glenn Bowles: We are not imposing those on them unless they step forward to become conforming. If they <br />want to stay non-conforming, they can do that but if they would like to become conforming then it would also <br />be a negotiation. In the end, they may be stated differently or some may fall off. <br />Jay Bryan: They can continue to use the site in that manner. <br />Brian Crawford: We can't do anything unless they want a change. <br />Jeffrey Schmitt: I think that is a trap because I am not sure what a change is. <br />Glenn Bowles: If they want to expand; for example parking. <br />
