� r � problem with administratively rezoning something that was missed. The Chairman asked if anyone in the audience wished to be heard and if anyone had any property they were especially interested in. Neb Ryall, property owner, had questions about how this hearing was advertised. He did realize this was before the Planning & Zoning Commission earlier, but felt the proposed rezoning will have a large impact on a lot of people. Chairman Lyons explained that a 1/4 page ad was placed in the local newspaper and that we are going to have another public hearing. He further clarified that what we really are doing is bringing the zoning into conformance with the Land Use Plan which has been the law for the last three years. Previously when someone wanted to build and their zoning was inconsistent with the Plan, they had to rezone before they could use their property. We now are eliminating that necessity by bringing the property into conformance with the Plan. Mr. Ryall stated that he personally owns agricultural land, and those owning such land were told when we first went into the Land Use Plan that the people in agricultural would have the right tater on to have those parcels of land changed to other designations. He was afraid, however, that the people owning agricultural land will get locked into a situation where they can't do anything about it. Chairman Lyons emphasized that we are not changing anything to do with the agricultural districts today, and Director Keating confirmed that anything zoned agricultural anywhere in the county will stay agricultural. Mr. Ryall noted that is what he is concerned about, and he wished to know if it is the precept of the Planning and Zoning Department that agricultural lands stay agricultural. Attorney Brandenburg stated that it is not; as the commun- ity grows, those properties will be brought in and considered on 7 MAR 2 8 1985 BOOK 6 0 PAGE 36®
