395 of County Commissioners, or the Planning Board or Planning Staff the request will be submitted to the Planning Board for a preliminary evaluation before being sent to the Board of County Commissioners for the scheduling of a public hearing. The Planning Board will consider the general appropriateness of the proposal from a planning and zoning perspective but refrain from making any specific recommendations. Following the Planning Board review, a report will be submitted to the petitioner containing either an endorsement of the proposal for public hearing, a recommendation for adjustment of the proposal prior to sub- mitting for public hearing, or a recommendation that the matter not proceed to a public hearing. If the Planning Board recommends not to proceed to a public hearing then the petitioner must file a written request within ten (10) days of receipt of the report in order for the petition to go before the Board of County Commissioners for consideration. The petitioner must then decide what proposal for rezoning, if any, will be submitted as a formal request for public hearing. The Board of Commissioners will at its sole discretion determine whether or not to have a public hearing. It is the policy of the Board of Commissioners to hear from the public in the usual manner. If a public hearing is granted, conventional procedures pertaining to rezoning requests will be followed. Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, stated Petition 86-03 A was preferred by the Planning staff, Zoning staff, and the Institute of Government. He cited a recent problem in which two petitions involving land in the Poplar Tent area had been filed and later withdrawn after a lot of time and expense by the Planning Department. Mr. Ralph Bonds spoke in support of Petition 86-03, stating that a landowner should have the right to rezone his property and should be the one to bring the petition in. Mr. Cline, representative of a committee of the Farm Bureau, also spoke in favor of Petition 86-03.
