CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT EVEN IF THEY HAD OBTAINED THE OTHER 10 ACRES, IT STILL WOULD NOT PERMIT A COMMERCIAL OPERATION. MISS MEEKO CONTINUED TO EXPLAIN HOW THEY WERE.ADVISED TO PROCEED, NOTING THAT THEY TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE ZONING DEPART- MENT ABOUT IT. SHE CONTINUED THAT SHE DID SIGN A DOCUMENT STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT USE IT FOR A COMMERCIAL STABLE UNTIL THEY GOT THE ZONING CHANGE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF THE SITE PLAN WAS APPROVED ON THE BASIS OF THEM HAVING ZO ACRES OF LAND, AND MISS MEEKO FELT IT WAS ON. THE BASIS THAT THEY WERE APPLYING FOR THE ADDITIONAL PIECE OF LAND. SHE STATED THAT THEY DID NEGOTIATE FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS TRYING TO PURCHASE IT. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED WHERE THE FIRST FLAG WAS RAISED INDI- CATING THAT EVERYTHING WASN`T RIGHT. MISS MEEKO REPLIED IT WAS IN ZONING WHEN THEY WENT FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. PLANNER REDICK STATED THAT HE•HAS IN HIS FILES A NOTICE OF OPTION ON THE OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY AND IT SPEAKS SPECIFICALLY TO A PRIVATE STABLE AND ZO ACRES. THE STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL ON THAT BASIS. MR. REDICK COMMENTED JHAT WHEN PEOPLE COME INTO THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND ARE TOLD THEY CANNOT DO CERTAIN THINGS, THEY ASK HOW THEIR PURPOSE CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED AND THE STAFF TRIES TO TELL THEM HOW IT CAN BE DONE. THIS IS NORMAL PROCEDURE. HE CONTINUED THAT IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY QUESTION IN HIS MIND WHETHER THIS WAS TO BE A PRIVATE STABLE OR A COMMERCIAL STABLE, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO PERMIT ISSUED. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE SITE PLAN BEING APPROVED ON 20 ACRES WHEN 10 ACRES WAS ONLY UNDER OPTION AND DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING A DENSITY CHANGE BASED ON AN OPTION. MR. REDICK FELT THE ANSWER IS THAT THE CONDITIONS OF THE SITE PLAN WERE NOT MET, AND THEY WERE STOPPED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THAT A BUILDING PERMIT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ISSUED UNTIL A DEED FOR ALL ZO ACRES WAS PRESENTED, AND THE BOARD CONTINUED TO QUESTION THE PROCEDURE FOLLOWED. 43 • BOOK 39 PACE 293 J
