63 Draft <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Kyle Myers: Twenty-two. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Beth Bronson: If you think 22— I would say 25 is a round number. Well, it's an odd round number. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Leon Meyers: Then, moving to the next things that we need to approve. I always have to ask for guidance on <br /> 7 this, James. The first approval is standards examined? Is that right? <br /> 8 <br /> 9 James Bryan: Yeah, the findings of fact. You can call it whatever you want. We've got the little chart for the <br /> 10 standards. There's also— I'm sorry, it's late for me. It's also in the proposed order. So, either way <br /> 11 you want to handle it. But the first vote will be on the findings of fact. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Leon Meyers: I think the findings start on Page 102. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Beth Bronson: So, there's no other conditions you guys want to talk about?The condition of road frontage? <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Leon Meyers: The condition that would limit the total clients and staff is the only condition that I've heard so far <br /> 18 that I would support. Are there others that you would like to talk about? <br /> 19 <br /> 20 Beth Bronson: I would like there to be an opaque—you know, I would like there to be a more well-defined border. <br /> 21 1 know that you're saying that it's in the UDO, but this is the special use permit, so, again. And <br /> 22 because of where, like, the zoned agricultural residential, rural buffer, there isn't a lot of regulation <br /> 23 on what needs to be there. And I'm not saying for the entire—but for the care facility, yes, the <br /> 24 fencing and/or screening to be provided, right now its deer fencing or wire fencing. So, again, that <br /> 25 is not shielding anybody from being observed from an adjacent parcel and is not shielding the <br /> 26 adjacent parcel from being observed. And so, I'm just offering a condition that would create a <br /> 27 more opaque, consistent fence. Or, you know, without trying to impose a 30-foot buffer, you know, <br /> 28 for development, I don't want to—but like, a garden is only there for 5 months out of the year; the <br /> 29 rest of the time it is dirt. And so, if we're talking about actual shielding of the clients receiving care <br /> 30 and protecting the adjacent residentially developed properties from trespass. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Kyle Myers: So, you'd be offering a condition that the applicant would work with staff to construct required <br /> 33 screening for their facility? <br /> 34 <br /> 35 Beth Bronson: Something more permanent, yeah. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Cy Stober: Mr. Chair, if I may? So, I think the missing adjective in the standard that is in the LIDO is, to Ms. <br /> 38 Bronson's point, is opaque. So, if her interest is in it being opaque screening, that would be helpful <br /> 39 for staff to enforce. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 Leon Meyers: Yeah. I just, I'm not sure I see a need for opaque screening. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Beth Bronson: The southern side of the parcel?Where the care facility is? <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Leon Meyers: I don't think I do. Nor on the northern portion of the care center site. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Beth Bronson: That's a choice. <br /> 48 <br /> 63 <br />
