HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_1055Mr. Crew said he had no problems with the "clients" using the facility,
but he questioned whether or not "public" even needed to be in the condition.
He said "public" gave the impression that the general public could have a band
or concert in the facility. He asked for more refinement on the term.
Attorney Pope said the commissioners had the right to further refine the
term if the neighbors felt "public" was too broad or nebulous.
Commissioner Johnson asked about using the term "private" instead of
"public" recreational facility. He said this wouldn't appear to infringe upon the
applicant's intent for the property.
Mr. Crew said he would be satisfied with the term "private."
Mr. Craven said "public recreational use" was the county's terminology,
and he had no objections changing the word.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.
