PUBLIC HEARING: BOARD REVIEW OF HEARINGS OFFICER'S DECISION ON CU -
91 -177 AND MP -92-56 FOR CAM MEYERS
Paul Blikstad gave the staff report. He reported this application
was to create two 20 acre parcels out of a 40 acre parcel and a
conditional use permit for a farm dwelling one of the 20 acre
parcels. The Hearings Officer issued a written decision on January
11, 1993, approving the partition and the conditional use permit
subject to the farm management plan.
Chair Throop opened the public hearing. Chair Tom Throop asked for
disclosure from Commissioners for any pre -hearing contacts in this
matter. All commissioners reported having no prehearing contacts.
Chair Throop also asked audience members if they felt any member of
the Board of the Commissioners should be challenged with bias or
inability to make a fair decision in this matter. No challenge was
made from the public.
Cam Meyers testified that she wanted to partition the 40 -acre
parcel into two 20 -acre parcels. She stated the 20 acres with the
two houses on it produced sixty tons of hay last year. She said 10
acres of the other parcel will be planted with hay and the rest of
the land will have cattle on it. She was also planning to put a
dwelling on this parcel. The septic system and driveway has
already been approved and the property is fenced. She would be
tilling and planting as soon as the weather allows.
Commissioner Schlangen asked what the timeline was for the cow and
calf operation. Cam Meyers said it would depend on the feed
supply. She said she would keep eighteen cattle at all times. She
did not feel that the property would support more cattle than that.
Commissioner Throop asked if she had a problem receiving the
conditional use permit, putting the structure into place, and
owning the livestock before getting a building permit. The
applicant said she would prefer the building permit before the
livestock being placed on the property. Commissioner Throop said
the livestock did not have to be on the property but they would
need to be in her ownership. Commissioner Throop said the intent
would be to build the dwelling and then move the livestock onto the
property.
Commissioner Throop asked Cam Meyers if she would have an objection
if there was a condition of this approval, that should one of the

houses need to be remodeled then the other house would be given up
for a storage building. Cam Meyers felt that was possible to work
with because she felt the building would not meet remodeling codes.
Being no further testimony, Chair Throop closed the public hearing.
SCHLANGEN: I move we uphold the Hearings Officer's
approval of the conditional use permit and the
partition with the added condition that the
farm plan include the purchase of fourteen
bred cows before the building permit can be
issued. A letter will be sent to applicant
amending the Hearings Officer's decision
regarding the existing structures with Board's
signature upon review.
