3 0~ August 4, 1986 Blueberry Hill, a 9 lot major subdivision, is approved by the Board of County Commisioners. Lot #1 is designated as a private park on the Preliminary Plat, as well as the recorded Final Plat. The EC-5 Zoning District located within the boundaries of Lot #1 was not shown on the Final Plat of the Subdivision. The Private Park was designated on the recorded Final Plat. Intent and Application criteria of the R-1 (Rural Residential) Zoning District as stated in Article 4,2.3 of the Oranue County Zoning Ordinance a) Intent The purpose of the Rural Residential (R-1) District is to provide locations for rural non- farm residential development, at very low intensities, in areas where the short- and long- term solutions to domestic water supply and sewage disposal shall be individual wells and ground absorption system. la) Application Criteria This district will usually be applied where the following conditions exist: 1. Designated by the adopted Comprehensive Plan as Rural Residential. 2. Urban Services, including water distribution and sewage collection mains are not likely within 10-20 years. Zoning Officer's Analysis The EC-5 zoning district is inconsistent with the surrounding area and with the comprehensive plan. There is considerable question as to whether the "Classic Car Salon", which was proported to have existed at the time of the implementation of zoning in the Bingham Township, has ever been located on this property. Staff has been unable to document any historical commercial use on the property. Removal of the EC-5 zoning district from this residential and farming area is a reasonable and prudent action.
