26 Draft <br /> 1 and they articulated several items of concern. Concerns over the native species for the shrubs, the <br /> 2 existence of this new fence, the proximity of the play fields, the removal of the current porta potties <br /> 3 and the structures. All right, and we issued a notice of violation to the property owners, stating <br /> 4 there appear to be some issues that may or may not cause you to be in conflict with your special <br /> 5 use permit. Here's your notice of violation. Conducted an investigation. The shrubs were in <br /> 6 compliance. The fence is permissible, and they obtained a zoning compliance permit above and <br /> 7 beyond the special-use permit to allow for that fence. The proximity from the fields to the road is, <br /> 8 in fact, it has been ascertained 50 feet. But the site plan did not note these accessory structures <br /> 9 that are obviously there today and have been there for some period of time. And, so, the <br /> 10 applicants, it's part of my job, is to map them out towards a path towards compliance and that path <br /> 11 included you can submit for a major modification to allow for these structures, state your case to <br /> 12 the board. Procedure is for the board to consider that site plan modification and any modifications <br /> 13 to the conditions. So, there's a very narrow lane that the board would ultimately consider for the <br /> 14 case, whether it's tonight or another night is not mine to say. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Leon Meyers: Okay. Thank you. Any questions for Pat? No? Okay. Then I want to be sure that the direction of <br /> 17 the board, if I'm hearing correctly, is to go ahead and hear the case tonight. Is that right? <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Beth Bronson: I'm going to have to ask for like 7 minutes, 5 minutes for a break. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Leon Meyers: A break, yeah, I think that's reasonable. Before we do that let's, if we could please, if there's going <br /> 22 to be a motion for a continuance, I'd like to handle that now and, if not, then we can prepare to go <br /> 23 ahead and hear the hearing. And no motion. Let's take a break until 8:40. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 The Board adjourned for a break from 8:34 PM to 8:40 PM <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Leon Meyers: All right. Folks let's come to order. I'm going to remind everyone who's in the room about the <br /> 28 public charge at the beginning. The expectation is that everyone who's here will be respectful and <br /> 29 that story will run the rest of the hearing for sure. All right. The next step is going to be to swear <br /> 30 the witnesses. Could the witnesses please come forward. Mr. Staten, do you have something to <br /> 31 say? <br /> 32 <br /> 33 Steve Staten: The first thing is a question. I heard something about 45 days to have a meeting with some people <br /> 34 in our neighborhood. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Leon Meyers: Mr. Staten, it doesn't pertain to a modification of a special-use permit. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Steve Staten: Okay. Yeah, so, we're appealing with the pleas for ask of a continuation. We had no idea that <br /> 39 what was expected of us in a short period of time. This is so new for most of us, if not all of us, <br /> 40 that we would be in this situation. There are even things that we have not been able to address <br /> 41 that are in our notes that seem like how did this happen. Why is this happening? Here's a concern <br /> 42 we have. And it's just moving so, so quickly. So, my appeal is that you give us time, ample time to <br /> 43 get our ducks lined up, get advisors, talk to specialists, get the evidence that you need, that you <br /> 44 feel you need that we will be damaged by a property with 30 hundred square feet of additional two <br /> 45 structures. Cause we believe we wouldn't even need evidence to say that somebody pulling into <br /> 46 our roads, seeing this big development that would be significant to us because we live there. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Leon Meyers: It's not a time for you to testify and I believe the board did hear your concerns and made a <br /> 49 decision. <br /> 50 <br /> 26 <br />
