Smith said the planning board approved the amendments in an 8-1 vote on July 2, 2003.
Chairman Johnson asked if the planning office would send a notice when it was time to renew the
permit.
Smith said probably, and that his staff would more than likely have to "police" the process.
Johnson asked if there would be a cost for the renewals.
Smith said a renewal would cost $350 -- the same amount charged for an initial permit.
Johnson asked if the renewal could be done on an administrative level. He said the intent of the
amendment was to assist in hardship situations, and the expense might create an additional burden on some
individuals.
Smith said the staff could review renewal requests, but the board of adjustment brought a higher level
of scrutiny. He said the utilization of the board of adjustment also ensured that the requests were resolved
through a public process.
Commissioner Norman asked what the $350 covered.
Smith said fees for the board of adjustment members, newspaper advertising, purchasing the signs to
post the property, postage for the notification letters, etc.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Johnson adjourned the hearing.
