28 Draft <br /> 1 use permit or affect the original special-use permit. What you're hearing tonight is just <br /> 2 modification. So, this is a vicinity map of where the site is. You can see it's in Southwestern <br /> 3 Orange County in the Bingham Township, identified by the red star there on the map. It's also in <br /> 4 the University Lake Protected Watershed. Here is an aerial photograph of the site. This aerial <br /> 5 photograph is from 2021 when the original SUP was approved. So, it doesn't show all of the <br /> 6 improvements to the site, but just to give you an ideal of the character and the surrounding land. <br /> 7 The existing zoning for the site is Rural Buffer. Everything surrounding the site is Rural Buffer <br /> 8 except for the one parcel that you can see in red is EC5. And then same thing for the future land <br /> 9 use. The future land use classification for all of the surrounding parcels is Rural Buffer as far as <br /> 10 the eye can see. Here is the approved site plan from the original Special Use Permit in 2021. <br /> 11 What brings us here tonight is the additional structures and some revisions to the conditions. If <br /> 12 you can read it on the hard copies that you have, or I can pull it up. It's the addition of the storage <br /> 13 sheds, the moving of the porta potties, the potential proposed toilets, the larger equipment storage, <br /> 14 and then also the open-area batting cages. There's also a condition on the site plan for the <br /> 15 maintenance and installation of plantings that may be required as they come back to revise the <br /> 16 permit. So, the conditions also go over what you have in front of you. I can pull them up to look at <br /> 17 them, but it's the nature of play and the timing of play, so changing the hours and days and <br /> 18 months, as well as the provision for the bathrooms and that, the applicant will receive all necessary <br /> 19 zoning compliance permits from the county. The staff analysis. We received it and we determined <br /> 20 it was complete through the required UDO Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.7, and 5.7.2. So, I can pull up site <br /> 21 plan for you guys if you have any questions, or I can go ahead and hand it over to Mr. Patil for the <br /> 22 applicant presentation. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Leon Meyers: Board members, any questions of Jack or other staff members? <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Beth Bronson: Can you clarify how long this has been nonconforming to the special-use permit? <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Jack Moran: I can double check with Pat, but the NOV was entered last year, I believe in October. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Beth Bronson: October of 2024? <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Jack Moran: That is when it was entered in our system. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Beth Bronson: October? <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Patrick Mallett: So, as I said, there were some concerns that were addressed and brought to, to my attention last <br /> 37 fall, and the immediately addressed them. I had no knowledge of any sheds that were or were not <br /> 38 in conformance with the special-use permit. We don't, unfortunately, have the manpower or the <br /> 39 resources to recheck, on a constant basis, maintenance of all the applicable conditions. So, as <br /> 40 soon as that was brought to my attention, we started moving through the process that let us to <br /> 41 here. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: Yes. The original application states certain things. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Patrick Mallett: I would venture to guess that the property owner and applicant could give some statement about <br /> 46 when those structures were installed. <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Beth Bronson: But you're aware this was in October 2024. That's fine. <br /> 49 <br /> 50 Patrick Mallett: Right. <br /> 28 <br />
