(Clerk's Note: Form 8B, memorandum of voting conflict for county, municipal, and <br />other local public officers, is on file in the office of the clerk to the board.) <br />Attorney Collins explained to Commissioner Davis that there is prohibition in State <br />Law regarding voting on any matter if something would inure to the benefit or gain or loss of a <br />relative. <br />Commissioner Davis thereby announced that he would not vote on this item <br />because of conflict of interest, but would engage in discussions. <br />Planning Director Stan Boling presented this request to the Board by recapping his <br />memorandum of October 15, 2007, and by way of a PowerPoint presentation. He provided <br />background, presented the Planning & Zoning Commission's requirements, and recommended <br />that the Board adopt the LDR amendments affecting mining operations in agricultural areas. <br />Director Boling thereafter responded to questions of Board members regarding limitation on the <br />number of loads per day, traffic impact, and standard operating procedures. <br />(Clerk's Note: Commissioner Davis exited the meeting at 11:32 a.m., and returned <br />within the minute.) <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br />Victor Knight, 3295 Ranch Road, felt these mining operations are offensive, but as <br />long as the daily operations do not infringe on his rights for quiet enjoyment of his property he <br />does not object. He asked the Board to allow for public input in the application process, and to <br />consider tabling this matter and bringing it back for public input, so that it becomes a public <br />hearing process, rather than an administrative permit. He saw a need for substantial tightening of <br />these regulations because they are on agricultural property. <br />19 <br />October 23, 2007 <br />
