DEAN BRUCE, OWNER OF THE PROPERTY ON U.S. 1 NORTH OF CEMETERY ROAD PREVIOUSLY UP FOR REZONING, SPOKE IN FAVOR OF HAVING MINI -WAREHOUSES ALLOWED AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN C -IA ZONING, NOTING THAT THEY ARE ONE OF THE LEAST OFFENSIVE THINGS THAT COULD BE PUT IN THIS ZONING. HE CONTINUED THAT HE FELT THIS WAY EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT NOW GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN BUILDING MINI -WAREHOUSES ON THIS PROPERTY. MR. BRUCE EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS NO SEWER AND WATER IN THE AREA WHERE.THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED, WHICH HE FELT WOULD PROHIBIT BUILDINGS, BARS, RESTAURANTS, MOTELS, ETC., BUT WOULD NOT POSE A PROBLEM WITH MINI -WAREHOUSES. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER COMMENTED THAT MR. BRUCE APPARENTLY IS ASKING THE BOARD TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO MAKE THIS LAND MORE SALEABLE AND HE DID NOT FEEL THE BOARD CAN CHANGE ZONING JUST FOR THIS PURPOSE BECSE IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD HAVE A FLOOD OF APPLICANTS. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH REZONING THE PROPERTY IF MR. BRUCE ACTUALLY WERE GOING TO BUILD A MINI -WAREHOUSE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE CONCURRED THAT HE WOULD NOT VOTE FOR ANY REZONING TO PUT MONEY IN SOMEONE IS POCKET ON A SPECULATIVE BASIS AND HE ONLY CONSIDERED THIS REQUEST BEFORE SO THAT MR. BRUCE COULD ACTUALLY CONSTRUCT MINI -WAREHOUSES. HE POINTED OUT THAT TODAY WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH A SPECIFIC PIECE OF PROPERTY, BUT JUST CONSIDERING WHETHER WE WISH TO ALLOW MINI -WAREHOUSES AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN C -IA ZONES ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTY. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD WAS THAT THEY DID NOT FAVOR AMENDING THE ORDINANCE TO ALLOW MINI -WAREHOUSES IN C -1A AS A SPECIAL EXCEPTION, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT NO ACTION WAS REQUIRED SINCE THERE WOULD BE NO ORDINANCE CHANGE REQUIRING A PUBLIC HEARING.
