NEED: This item was discussed at the March 8, 1982 Public Hearing, the attachments are With that agenda. The following is a brief summary of the points brought out at the Planning Board meeting on April 6, 1982: 1. Concern about the ability of the volunteer fire department to provide adequate protection even with additional equipment and improvements suggested. 2. The pressure of additional commercial development that would follow and the adverse impacts it would have on Highway 54 and Bingham Township. 3. Concern that the location of the property at the edge of the watershed of Cane Creek and the effects of future developments on water quality. A. The proposal is contrary to the stated goals and policies of the Land Use Plan. 5, The intensity of development allowed under this request should have urban services available;;it will be many years before those services will exist in this area. 6. The amount of traffic that would be generated by a development of this size on Highway 54. IMPACT: This property is located in the Agricultural - Residential Land Use Plan category. A rural neighborhood node (BH-1) is located less than 1/4 mile from the site. The proposed rezoning does not conform to the intent of either the general land category or the intent of the existing node. The intensity of development that would be allowed under the requested rezoning is inappropriate for this location within the County. Denial of this request means the request for a Special Use Permit must also be denied. RECOHMENDATION: The Planning Board recommended that the rezoning request be denied. Themotion passed with one opposed. The Planning Staff recommended denial of the request for the following reasons: 1. The type of development and intensity of development are inappropriate in this location. 2. Access to the side should not pass across the end of the proposed runway. There should be more than one access point for the whole development. 3. There is no buffer from the intense development on this site and adjacent agricultural residential land. 4. A development of this size if approved will encourage other "spinoff" development requests. The intensity proposed is of an urban character but without any urban services.
