MAY I BOOK 89 FbGF 578 <br />Land Use Code Considerations <br />The property is A-2, which contemplates a variety of uses -- not <br />just planting of trees or crops. <br />For example: <br />Some uses are commercial stables, commercial kennels, packing <br />house, cemeteries, correctional institutions, major sports <br />facilities, off road vehicle tract, veterinary clinic, transmission <br />towers, recycling center or mining. Some uses require administra- <br />tive or special exception approval, but all are contemplated for <br />this zoning class. <br />A copy of the County code is attached for reference purposes. <br />What This Land Use Is Not <br />This is not a franchise operation in which waste is picked up <br />curbside or at a place of business. Mr. Fey is in the land <br />clearing business. This involves such clearing as home and <br />building sites, right of ways and subdivision and large tracts to <br />name a few. The product of the land clearing (brush, trees, etc.) <br />is moved to this site and processed (burned, mulched or stacked). <br />There are no customers such as a garbage route. There are no <br />trucks making periodic pickups around the County. The regulations <br />imposed and the nature of this operation does not lend itself to <br />being a franchise. No businessman would subject himself to <br />spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a fixed site, which <br />could effectively be taken away by merely denying the extension of <br />a franchise. <br />Attorney Clem recapped the following arguments in favor of <br />his client's request: <br />1) The site was carefully selected. It is a buffered site <br />and it has met the stringent setback requirements. <br />2) The incinerator will be about half the size of semi- <br />trailer truck. <br />3) Mr. Fey hopes to use this site as a recycling facility. <br />He needs to stay in competition. Right now, the County <br />has a facility and Dr. Fischer has a facility and it is a <br />monopoly. <br />4) This is an inoffensive use, particularly when you look at <br />what is allowed in the A-2 zoning, such as kennels, <br />etc. <br />5) Under the LDRs this is an allowable use with special <br />exception use approval. <br />Attorney Clem offered to show a video of the remote area where <br />the burn site would be located and noted that representatives from <br />the incinerator manufacturer are here today to answer any <br />questions. He hoped they don't come up against a wall in the SWDD <br />requirements. <br />Chairman Bird felt the main concern is with the incinerator, <br />and Attorney Clem circulated the following picture noting that the <br />incinerator would be 21 ft. long by 9 ft. wide and about 9 ft. <br />tall: <br />37 <br />
