its location was due to Wayside having buses in an industrial park area. He said regardless of
what was placed at the former school site, traffic would be an issue. Johnson said he would
feel more comfortable if the intent of the developer were known. He said assisting the
developmentally disabled was a noble cause, but living peaceably, paying taxes, and going
about one's daily affairs was a noble occupation too.

Additional discussion then occurred, and the question was raised as to how long the
owner would have to wait to make another rezoning request.
Planning Supervisor Warren said the zoning ordinance stipulated, "No proposal to
amend or change any conditional use permit shalt be considered within twelve (12) months of
the date of the original authorization of such permit or within twelve (12) months of hearing
of any previous proposal to amend or change any such permit." (Zoning Ordinance Section 17.5.)
Commissioner Robertson asked if the applicant would be removed from the 12 -month
window if the conditions were changed.
Attorney Pope said no.
Commissioner Johnson said the board's Rules of Procedure allowed anyone on the
prevailing side of the vote to bring the matter up again.
Planning Supervisor Warren said one other option would be for the owner to come
back before the board and ask for a totally different zoning district, for example, community
business, with a totally different set of conditions.
Attorney Pope said he didn't think the owner had that option. He said that if the board
was inclined to reconsider the request the following options were available:
1. Continue the matter until additional information was presented.
2. Further impose conditions on the property (with the applicant's consent), for
example, no additional structures would be built, or no structures within 200 feet
of the boundary, or only a certain access could be used, or any other conditions.
OTIO by Commissioner Robertson to reconsider the action taken on Case No.

OTIO by Commissioner Robertson to refer the case to the planning staff to

conditions.

Commissioner Johnson encouraged the parties on both sides to talk with the
commissioners and share any concerns. He said the adjoining property owners needed to
have some specific answers on how the property would be used.
Commissioner Robertson said discussions between the adjoining property owners and
the owner would be helpfiil. He said it was the intent of the commissioners to do something
with the property and eliminate a vacant school building on Hwy. 70. Robertson said he felt
the proposed usage was much better than a convenience store or something similar. He
encouraged the residents to not leave the decision making to the staff, and to offer input
Chairman Tice declared the meeting to be in a public hearing.
