Method and adequacy of police, fire and rescue squad protection` Planning <br /> ~ord found 1hc-'��''i :cant has not net the requirement for adequate fire <br /> "° "� <br /> protection as evidenced by testimony of D r' Thomas Griggs on pages 13 and 14 <br /> of the draft July 8th minutes, and letter dated June 24th by Or, Edward <br /> Johnson The vote was 5 in favor, 2 against and one abstention. <br /> c Methond and adequacy of vehicle access to the site and traffic conditions <br /> around "ho site. This item was found to be contained in the application and <br /> ' ` 4 in fa 3 against and one abstention, This moth <br /> testimony_ The vote was n "ur. aga n ' <br /> as you can tell by the close vote, had considerable discussion as there had <br /> ' �' been a ^~^previous motion that there was not adequate vehicular access as demon- <br /> strated <br /> u ~^-`tesdmuny concerning traffic counts and projected increases in <br /> traffic counts. <br /> That concluded the specific requirements for which the applicant carries <br /> the burden. We next went to the general requirements where the burden <br /> those shifts to ' critizing the the proposal . In those, these are a little <br /> bit difficult to deal with cause you deal with negatives and you have to <br /> find evidence that supports a negative conclosion. The best way I can state <br /> it is that: <br /> a. The use will not promote the public health, safety and general welfare <br /> i'' located where proposed and developed according to the plan submitted. <br /> The Board found that there is specific evidence to show that the use will <br /> not promote the public health, safety and general welfare for two areas <br /> 1) fire protection and FAA State regulations. The vote on that motion e; :; <br /> Din favor and 2 against. The references may be incorrect because xe ':d <br /> a different pagination than on this one and if you'll give me some ti/;e' at <br /> a later point I'll correct them for you. But primarily they are kase6 on our <br /> specific findings. <br /> b. Use will not maintain or enhance the value of of contiguous property <br /> unless the use is a public necessity in which case the use need not wrn <br /> tain or enhance the value of contiguous property. The Planning Board found that <br /> the evidence shows the use will not maintain or enhance the value of con- <br /> tiguous property; specifically see the findings of Wallace Kaufman and Bland <br /> Simpson in the draft July 8th minutes, And the vote on that was G in favor, <br /> 1 opposed and one abstention. <br /> c. Use is not in compliance with the general plans for the physical develop- <br /> ment of the County as embodied in these regulations or in the cnmprch ..sivp <br /> plan or portion thcreof, The Planning Board found that the evidence : haws <br /> P/an y« ' <br /> ` the use compliance �`�e i� not in nmpliance with the general plans for the davopment <br /> of the`" Co''nty. Specifically the adopted goals of the Land Use Plan, ' oaTs <br /> Two, Five and Seven; the adverse impact the development could have ( • the <br /> cultural land uses �n the area Again on pages may be incorrect, and that <br /> the agricultural land use' in the ap''roach zones for airports are not cenputible <br /> airport.with �h� current zoning around the proposed a ryor . Th e vote on that motion <br /> was five in favor and three against. This conclusion, item 'c'^ specifically <br /> the Board felt permitted your Board to make a site specific evaluation of the <br /> proposal and tie the proposal in with the general plans for the County. <br /> Therefore, the Planning Board's final recommendation is that the Special <br /> Use Pehnit be denied becauSe the applicant failed to meet the conditions <br /> for the permit required by the Zoning Ordinance as evidenced by these <br /> findings. The vote on that motion was sevenin favor and. one against. <br /> In the past, several Commissioners have asked the Board for guidance on <br /> proposals if they decide to do contrary to what the Planning Board has <br /> recommended. Therefore, the Planning Board then looked at the project and <br /> made a list of nine conditions that they would like to see uddr aed and <br /> included should the Board decide to permit the request. This also raises <br /> a concern that the Planning Board has in how we approach Special Use Permits_ <br /> I believe the Staff and the Board are pretty much in agreement on how the <br /> project should proceed in terms of vat it would look like, or what one air- <br /> port Aid look like But the met|x`.' of doing it is in disagreement, The <br /> P»r ` ' ' handle d, <br /> Staff seems to feel that we can o it with imposed conditions that will <br /> solve all our problems, The Planning Board, however, chose to deny the per0t. <br /> � Ie the event that you choose to approve the permit and impose conditions to <br /> clear up any deficiencies these are some the Planning Board would like to <br /> see included: <br />
