Approved 4/2/14 <br />6 <br /> 269 <br />Buddy Hartley: If those are covered areas, they could be moved to the areas in black. 270 <br /> 271 <br />Michael Brough: The fence is an issue and then we have the issue of why are we taking away 125 feet out of the 272 <br />ability to use their property when the adjoining property owners do not object. 273 <br /> 274 <br />Johnny Randall: The area of the existing fence that is on the property line, will that have to be moved anyway? 275 <br /> 276 <br />Michael Harvey: The Easterlins’ will have to move the fence 25 feet or purchase additional property so the fence 277 <br />complies with the setback. 278 <br /> 279 <br />Buddy Hartley: Either way it will be expensive. 280 <br /> 281 <br />Tony Blake: Have the Economic Development folks weighed in on this. 282 <br /> 283 <br />Michael Harvey: No. 284 <br /> 285 <br />Tony Blake: There should be a way to tweak things that are special cases without affecting every EDD (2) parcel in 286 <br />the County. It seems this is not unreasonable in this instance. I don’t see the benefit in enforcing this or putting this 287 <br />type of burden on a small business. 288 <br /> 289 <br />Craig Benedict: In my comments, this is not about looking at one property. I am not specifically talking about this 290 <br />use that is here but the long-term guidelines. We are not looking at someone’s site plan when we are addressing 291 <br />changing a zoning district that we should not even looking at. I am representing EDD (2) zoning everywhere. 292 <br /> 293 <br />Paul Guthrie: If the owners were to abandon the use and leave it there and not use it for anything, would you have to 294 <br />tear the fence down? 295 <br /> 296 <br />Michael Harvey: If the area wasn’t used as an exercise yard, then there would be no 150-foot setback. 297 <br /> 298 <br />Paul Guthrie: There would be no need to tear down that fence and move it? 299 <br /> 300 <br />Michael Harvey: That assumes that it is no longer utilized for the purpose that the Easterlins’ want to use it. 301 <br /> 302 <br />Paul Guthrie: If they only had to erect a fenced area inside the black box that was sufficient to give the exercise they 303 <br />want to give, would that change the financial impact? 304 <br /> 305 <br />Michael Brough: Even if you left the fence there you would have to re-fence another area. You are saying acres of 306 <br />property and leaving it unusable. It would be cheaper to leave the fence there and not use that part of the property at 307 <br />all and erect a new fence somewhere else on the property. 308 <br /> 309 <br />Mrs. Easterlin: The blue line around the outside, there are also several fenced in yards inside the area so we have 310 <br />about nine yards. 311 <br /> 312 <br />Tony Blake: The way the amendments read there would need to be someone out there with them. 313 <br /> 314 <br />Michael Harvey: I have never seen a situation where the dogs were out there overnight. 315 <br /> 316 <br />Lisa Stuckey: We can’t make them put them in. 317 <br /> 318 <br />Michael Harvey: Technically the UDO doesn’t require it but animal services will mandate the animals have to be kept 319 <br />inside in the evening. This ordinance does require an applicant get the appropriate Class 2 permit from Animal 320 <br />Services in order to operate the kennel. 321 <br /> 322
