Mr. Marshall advised that Petition 97-05 was a Special Use request and would require sworn or affirmed testimony. Mr. Hartsell affirmed Mr. Marshall and Mr. Ron Anthony. Also, he later affirmed Mr. Ed Hill, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Cemmisston. Mr. Marshall presented the rezoning request by Mr. Carroll Mullis, including location of the property, findings and compatibility with other ordinances, and the staff analysis. The Planning and Zoning Commission previously granted the Petitioner an exception to the Subdivision Regulations to divide the property and use a 15-foot right-of-way for access. Stating the proposed use is in keeping with the development in the area, Mr. Marshall reported that staff recommended approval of the petition. Mr. Hill advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission found the staff recommendation to be in order and approved the rezoning request on March 20. Chairman Casper opened the public hearing at 7:25 P.M. on Petition 97-05 and asked if anyone were present who wished to address the Board regarding this rezoning request. Mr. Ron Anthony, resident of Horseshoe Circle, presented the following concerns regarding the rezoning request: (1) Other uses that will be allowed on the property; (2) Placement of 16 vehicles on the property; (3) Placement of a storage trailer on the property in 1994; and (4) Inaccurate date in the notification letter for the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Mr. Marshall responded to Mr. Anthony's concerns. (1) The Special Use rezontng will limit Mr. Mullis to the placement of two mobile homes without going through another rezoning process; (2) Staff will pursue the issue of the 16 vehicles as a zoning complaint; (3) The Zoning Administrator and Chief Building Inspector have ruled that mobile homes can be used as storage units if they are modified to prohibit future use as a dwelling unit; (4) Property owners were renotified and a public hearing scheduled before the Board of Commissioners as a result of the inaccurate notification letter. Mr. Hill advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission was not aware of the number of vehicles on the property prior to approval of the rezoning request. Chairman Casper clarified with Mr. Anthony that he was not in opposition to the rezoning issue itself but wanted to protect the visual aspects of his property. Mr. Anthony indicated that this was correct. Commissioner Barnhart read the following findings of fact into the record and moved for approval of Petition 97-05 by Carroll Mullis to rezone approximately 8.7 acres (Map/PIN 5633-02-6402) off Horseshoe Circle from Medium
