DECISION OF WHETHER TO HEAR APPEAL A-98-2 ON A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT CU -97-109 FOR A DWELLING IN THE FOREST USE ZONE
Before the Board was a decision of whether to hear Appeal A-
98-2 on a conditional use permit for a dwelling in the forest
use zone.
Barbara Rich reported this was a conditional use permit for a
template dwelling in a forest use zone. The application did
not meet the criteria for a template dwelling in the forest
use zone. She reported there were two issues at stake which
was the application itself and Section 36.
Commissioner Swearingen stated she had several discussions
with the applicant. Commissioner Swearingen's recommendation
was to deny review of the appeal. She felt there needed to be
some legislation enacted to allow something different than
what was occurring out there now. She felt it was unfortunate
that these people had owned property for a considerable number
of years but they can't do anything with it.
Commissioner Nipper felt there was a safety issue. He
expressed concern about not being able to get emergency
vehicles in and out of that area. Commissioner Nipper felt
the Board should not hear the appeal.
NIPPER: I move that we not hear the appeal of A-98-2 a
conditional use permit CU -97-109 for a
dwelling in the forest use zone.
