BOOK 92 PAGE 935 <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the public hearing. <br />Director Keating explained that the reverter clause in the <br />development order specifies that if the project is abandoned or the <br />development order expires, there will be a 9 -month period during <br />which the applicant cannot develop any other commercial on the <br />property. That 9 -month period of time allows the Board of County <br />Commissioners the opportunity to hold public hearings and follow <br />procedures to redesignate the property. <br />Director Boling added that the 9 -month period of time <br />mentioned in the reverter clause provides a window of opportunity, <br />if the conditions are not met, for the Board to consider and decide <br />whether it would be more appropriate to rezone the property to <br />another category, like professional office, for example, rather <br />than revert to the original zoning category. <br />Commissioner Macht clarified that Mr. Keifer's request is to <br />change the language "may revert" to "will revert" to the original <br />zoning of RM -6 and A-1. <br />Commissioner Macht noted that Mr. Keifer also raised the issue of <br />opaque buffers, and he led discussion regarding the Wal-Mart <br />buffers which are not opaque and do not provide adequate screening <br />for the residents who live across the highway. <br />Director Boling explained that the planned buffer at Wal-Mart <br />did not require total screening, and the plantings were grouped to <br />allow for vision through the landscaping. The buffer requirements <br />allow two years of growth to achieve opaque buffers, and Code <br />Enforcement does an annual landscaping inspection. <br />Chairman Tippin directed staff to complete the presentation on <br />the second scheduled public hearing. <br />ORDINANCES 94-19 AND 94-20 WERE ADOPTED AT THE CONCLUSION <br />OF THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC HEARING <br />40 <br />July 19, 1994 <br />
