18 Draft <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Jeff Scott: I mean, I don't want to delay it. I just I want to make sure we did it right, you know. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: Does everybody have Ms. Brown's letter? <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Beth Bronson: Yes, I do. <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Leon Meyers: Okay. And is there anything in here that would be useful for the present discussion, the <br /> 9 present decision? <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Beth Bronson: All right. I need to dump this real quick. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Leon Meyers: And, honestly, I don't see competent material and substantial evidence in Ms. Brown's letter, <br /> 14 as much as I respect Ms. Brown, that convinces me that Ms. Stracke has standing. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Beth Bronson: Why would the use standards associated in Section 5.8.2 requiring direct frontage on a public <br /> 17 state-maintained road not qualify as relevant? <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Leon Meyers: Where are you reading, please? <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Beth Bronson: So, there is a letter from October 22nd. Do you need to stop me? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 James Bryan: No. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Beth Bronson: So, there is a letter dated October 22nd, 2025. This was the original letter from Ms. Stracke's <br /> 26 counsel with their intention to argue standing for this application for this special-use permit. <br /> 27 There is a use standard and it's the LIDO Section 5.8.2. Specifically, she references <br /> 28 Section B-1 that submittal requirements. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Leon Meyers: Beth, I just want to remind you that we're on a standing now. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Beth Bronson: Yep. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Leon Meyers: Yep. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Beth Bronson: This is from the person standing in front us requesting standing. I believe that by bringing this <br /> 37 up this would be evidence that this person has standing. We have not heard the applicant <br /> 38 yet, because we're choosing to do standing first, but Section, it's 5.8.2. There is a requirement <br /> 39 that there is road frontage on a public state-maintained road. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Leon Meyers: I see how that could be relevant for the special-use permit. I have to confess I don't see how <br /> 42 that relates to the question of standing from Ms. Stracke. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Beth Bronson: Because the direct road frontage is on her property, in my interpretation of that. How do you <br /> 45 feel about that, James? <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Leon Meyers: UDO refers to frontage on a public road. <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Beth Bronson: Correct. <br /> 50 <br /> 18 <br />
