MAY 1 195 <br />BOOK 60 FnE 754 <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if the present use for perc ponds <br />is a legal use in the Agricultural district, and Planning <br />Director Keating confirmed that it is. <br />Director Keating assured the Board that in bringing these <br />items to the Planning 8 Zoning Commission the way they did, staff <br />did not try to circumvent anything or present a different concept <br />of what they are trying to do. Director Keating then reviewed <br />the history of the situation which goes. back quite a few years to <br />when staff first got complaints regarding the operation of the <br />maintenance building at Village Green on the north side of Walker <br />Avenue. This case eventually was taken to the Code Enforcement <br />Board, and the major issue was whether or not the maintenance <br />operation was just for Village Green or whether the contractor <br />was actually running a business out of that place and serving a <br />number of clients. The Code Enforcement Board determined it was <br />an accessory use to Village Green, but also noted it was zoned <br />Agricultural. The perc ponds are okay standing alone as a use in <br />the Agricultural zone, but an accessory use to a mobile home park <br />cannot be on Agriculturally zoned land. The Code Enforcement <br />Board, therefore, approved an order that said Village Green has <br />to get this property rezoned and present an acceptable site plan <br />to make the maintenance facility legal. The second part of the <br />Order stated that if the rezoning was not granted, Village Green <br />would have to cease operation of its maintenance facility there <br />and move it. The reason staff agreed to initiate the Comprehen- <br />sive Plan amendment request is that they feel that the Land Use <br />designation for this entire tract is not consistent with the <br />existing extensive mobile home use in the area and existing <br />zoning. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired about storage of the residents <br />equipment, recreational vehicles, etc., on the ten acres, and <br />Director Keating believed that is an accessory use and the zoning <br />would have to be compatible with the mobile home park. <br />38 <br />
