OCT 2 21980 som 45 PAGE 58 ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT ALL THESE SITES WOULD REQUIRE REZONING TO EITHER M-1 OR AGRICULTURAL. HE NOTED THAT IF THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM PROPERTY IN A GENERAL AREA, THEY COULD GO BACK AND BE MORE SPECIFIC IN THEIR BORINGS, ETC., AND SEE WHERE IT IS FEASIBLE TO BUILD. MR. NELSON RECOMMENDED THE SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD SITE AS NUMBER ONE AND THE WINTER BEACH SITE AS NUMBER TWO. MRS. NOLTE, PRESIDENT OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY, STATED THAT SHE FELT THE SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD AREA IS CLOSER AND MORE SUITABLE. SHE CONTINUED THAT SINCE THEY DO HAVE TO PUT SOME MONEY INTO SEEING WHETHER THE LAND IS FEASIBLE TO BUILD ON, THEY FIRST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THE BOARD WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO A LEASING ARRANGEMENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE CERTAINLY WOULD VOTE FOR A LONG TERM LEASING ARRANGEMENT AND WOULD HOPE THAT THE SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD LOCATION WOULD BE SATISFACTORY SINCE IT IS A MORE CENTRAL LOCATION. MRS. NOLTE NOTED THAT ANOTHER PROBLEM THERE IS THE REZONING AND ANY OBJECTIONS THAT MIGHT COME WITH IT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD ANTICIPATE THE COUNTY WOULD INITIATE THE REZONING AND GET PUBLIC REACTION FIRST. MRS. NOLTE FELT IT WAS LIKELY THERE WOULD BE MORE ADVERSE REACTION AT THE SOUTH GIFFORD LOCATION, BUT COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT IS ALREADY ZONED LM -1, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THERE WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENCE IN OBJECTIONS AT EITHER LOCATION, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD GO THROUGH REZONING FIRST, BUT COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE REZONING UNLESS WE ARE GOING TO USE THE SITE. ARCHITECT CHARLES BLOCK INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE INVESTI- GATION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IS NOT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. HE COM- MENTED THAT THERE IS EXISTING R-1 ZONING IN THE SOUTH GIFFORD AREA VERSUS THE WINTER BEACH AREA AND NOTED THAT PHYSICALLY THE WINTER BEACH PROPERTY IS BETTER SINCE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITHIN THE RESTRAINT OF 75` AT SOUTH GIFFORD. HE FELT THEY NEED DIRECTION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF LAND NEEDED, AND MR. NELSON STATED THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING 5 TO 7 ACRES, AND THE AREA ON SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD WAS FIVE ACRES.
