Smith said that was correct. Chairman Tice asked, assuming the request were granted, if Race Track USA, Inc., would be given permission to build up to 50%, or if the board could approve just up to 26%. Smith said it would be possible to hold the company to what was shown on the drawings. He said that if the company wanted to request the residual 24%, it could return with another request. Commissioner Bowles asked if this would be with, or without, the storm drain detention basin. Smith said that in order to accommodate the 26% as shown on the plan, a detention pond would have to be built. Commissioner Ray asked about the enforcement of the pond maintenance. Smith said the enforcement would be the county's responsibility. He said, however, the county could piggyback with the state. He said enforcement procedures were in the county's ordinance, and that violations were misdemeanors. Commissioner Ray asked if there were other basins being inspected and regulated by the county. Smith said there was a basin at a mini -storage business on Hwy. 150, and it had existed about two years. He said another one was at a mini -storage business on Stunts Road, and it had been there for a longer period of time. Ray asked if there had been any regulation and maintenance problems. Smith said minor problems, e.g., seeding and riprap. Commissioner Johnson said he thought the intent of the owner was to go up to 50%. Commissioner Ray asked ifthe county could seek specific usages for the property rather than proposed plans, if the company returned to the county with a new request. Smith said yes. He said this could be done at that point, or the county could refuse approval now and ask for additional information. Chairman Tice said a nearby property owner, Berea Baptist Church, probably did not have any knowledge of the proposed usage since a rezoning was not needed. Smith said that was true. Commissioner Johnson said he was understanding the board could ask for a detailed site plan. Smith said he didn't see any problems with this type of request. He said the regulations were very broad -- there were no real standards. Attorney Pope asked about the 15 -foot buffer shown on the company's plan. He said it appeared the sediment pond might partially be located in the buffer.
